I don't know if anyone does one off the shelf, but could hose solutions not make one up?

It’s sorted now and I am happy with it alanjuggler sorted me out with the Nismo hose I needed Everything is fastened up properly

Might be worth a mention I superglued the pipes into the lid of the coffee jar and used instant gasket to seal them



Front bumper is on

Wow! Looking spot on.

Inspirational, top work Pete

I was thinking of having some parts re-sprayed. Decided it might be best to just “fettle em up” You can’t beat the factory finish. Spent a few hours on the rear bumper. Started with Farecla G10, then Poorboys Pro polish using the Portercable polisher. Finished off with Natty’s paste wax by hand

Mud flaps are also sorted

iv got to hand it to you pete, the car is looking the sex. good work. give yourself a biiiiig pat on the back when its finished!!!!

Been ages since i looked in here just insane!!! so wish i had the time and effort in me to do this myself.

One Q thogh, WTF you going to do with it once its done?

/\/\/\/\/\/\ Preserve it for years to come LOL! Really top work there mate, not long to go....

[alanjuggler]

glad it worked out with the nismo hose - driftworks do a direct braided line but it's in driftworks orange, doesn't really suit the colour scheme of the car

tbh, keeping the damper loop suits the point of your car anyhow. replace & improve but don't remove stuff like the rest of us cretins


car's looking absolutely spot on now pete, not often i say that about an s14a

[pdh 14a]

Awesome just awesome! i really am running out of words to describe this thread/car!
Glad you didn't get stuff sprayed,its so much better to see the origional paint in that condition

[pete shrimp]

Wow, just wow!

Looks like she's doing a grand job - no holograms!

I'll bring my car round for her to sort out.

I said it before, and I say it again...
Petrol, my friend... you're crazy !!! hehehehehehe

great job \o/

She has been helping me with bits and bats recently and has taken a real interest. She really wanted a go with the porter cable after helping me do the back bumper. I set it on low and she did most of the work on the skirts

Just found another place for stainess stuff Good prices and all. Stagonset are "kin" expensive especially for stuff like flanged nuts but this place is good value and some stuff is "postage free"

They also do metric fine - the fine stuff on the SX is 1.25mm pitch. Hex flanged bolts (never found these before in stainless) dome nuts, self drilling screws, shakeproof washers, split pins and more. Why is it you are more or less finished and you find a supplier with very good prices and a good range of products

Ebay FTW

They also have a webby

what are you gonna do about wheels and tyres?

[alanjuggler]

my s13 spare kit had pretty much the same except a 'nissan' stamped 12mm/14mm combi open ended spanner.

not sure if it was supplied with the s14s.
