Something that really annoys me with the borg warner m78 diff, there is no drain plug, and in this one's case a rubber bung for the filler point. Well that was fixed!!

Probably the worst job ever... And as usual Ponting for myself from a can, it turns out shit

Good brakes are essential, a32 maxima twin piston callipers on r33 non turbo disks, with ebc greenstuff pads!

$475 to upgrade, pretty cheap imho.

Hrmm, the wheels badly needed attention, I wanted white, then I thought silver, BUT I went to a gunmetal colour! It's safe to say you can't see the brake dust on them easily!

$200 to powder coat them, i reckon it's not a bad price... Old mate did a bit of a rough job, but meh.

Gearbox, Ahh shiet...

Y u no last!!!

Well it always had bearing issues, and one day after pulling an epic burnout infront of my boss, it went quiet, very quiet.

So assuming the worst, that a bearing had failed and had been minced, I pulled the box out...

This is also the part where I got my dad to help me! Thanks dad!!

Mmm innards.

$288 later I had a bearing kit in my hands, this one is pretty good, it had every bearing, most of the springs, keyways seals and shift keys in it.

But, I still needed a clutch, so a trip to clutches direct, and a quick talents the guys there had me on my way with the right clutch for what I intend to do with the car!! Mainly drag racing and motorkanahs.

The finished product, new clutch and machined flywheel.

Something my neighbours are getting used to seeing, a skyline on jackstands.

But the fun wasn't over, I spotted clutch fluid happily eating the paint off my firewall, so I had to track.down a new clutch master... Luckily I had a slave rebuild kit lying around so I put that in too.

I also had some paint mixed, I don't like bare steel on a car!

Anyhow, it's back to being broken, the injectors decided to leak... So as usual I've tracked down some new ones and am going to put them in on Friday!!

Then it's off to willowbank raceway on Saturday to see what she runs down the 1/4 mile!

This is a picture of pure happiness.

Mmm helicoil kit. One of the finer points of being a maintenance fitter, you can borrow things like this.

Fixed.

Then the second pulled thread was found, yeah I wasn't in the mood for pictures, I yelled at it for a while, then fixed it.

My thoughts of the 'mighty' ca20e

Orange car received a cb radio, 10-4 good buddy, this is agent coming in, do you hear me loud and clear, Rodger that over.

Mmm injectors.

Playing mechanic.

Yeah that's right, stop breaking you bugger.
