I hit my knee on mine, cursed a lot, flicked the V's at it and went back inside...

It aint long enough to hit your knee.

Today, but really yesterday, i put on 1 new CV boot kit AND a new steering rack boot. What a bastard job that is. Can't wait to do the Near Side next weekend.

Nice bright lights on the dash there! Did you start it or did you only see if the dash was working?

 

[fubar andy]

Just hooked up the battery.

Everything seems to work, so far. (after being sat for 8 years)
Indicators, lights, alarm, fans etc.

I just need to get the manifold mounted correclty.
The turbo inlet, still hits the gearbox housing, so I'm trying to find away to mount it away from the casing.

I can then finally fire up the car and check for leaks/issues etc

Despite having serious cooling fan issues, mounted and balanced some period and brand correct rims Nissan R32 GTST. No more wheel spacers which I'm happy about, they always seemed sketchy to me

How'd you make out with the other side?

 

[Cathode]

O.k, it came off a lot easier for whatever reason than the other did. All good in the hood. But now i have a really noisy bearing. It never ends.

I looked a picture of it parked on my mums drive lol

I bought two male connectors for some 12" slim fans. They fit quite well so I went ahead and cut the generic connectors to the fans. Stripped wires and slid on the little waterproof bootie and crimped the pins before locking it in the connector. Presto! Factory plug retained

I plan to make a shroud for at some point before install, I was thinking just using a foam trim stick-on with an aluminum plate as there is a small gap if mounted flush to the top and bottom core volumes. Or just skip that and use the cable ties that mount right through the rad

Nice job sailor. The only thing I did with my pulsar today was pick it up from the workshop and park it back in the garage.

One step at a time hopefully you've just got a head gasket issue. Even that can be a bit of a pita, but nothing you've not seen before

Well, whatever happens, I’m going to get the head skimmed.

You need to get your head looked at by a professional.
