Now to see if the spare fits, which it didnt....then idea.
Add one 8mm allan key to the tool kit so the brace can be pivoted up to remove the spare like this. |

All finished now with the carpet back in place. The hole where the jack bracket fits thorugh on in the right carpet had to have 2 slits cut in it to allow the brace bracket to fit.
The left side was fine.
Also found a new home for the jack, but I might find a better one yet. |

Yes the roof panels fit in fine. I have even added extra padding in each bag to protect them as I have just repainted them. A piece of 6mm closed cell insulation used in the HVAC (Air Conditioning) industry.
It comes in a 1200x900mm sheet and is available in various thickneses but 6mm thick is all you need. You can cut the three pieces from one sheet and its quite cheap. |

Havent updated things for a while as we have been working on the new cappo Little Green Devil.
Changed all the normal maintenace items, oils, filters etc, but had a persistant oil leak from around the turbo area but only with the motor running. Just a slight drip.
Finally removed the cat pipe and turbo and found it was missing one copper washer on the turbo oil feed line. All fixed now and good.
However we took the opportunity to decat it and make a new exhaust. Heres a pic of the new centre & mid section. Made in one piece with 2 inch pipe. |

kOFF33 has been sulking a bit now that theres another cappo on the scene but I have managed to do a couple of minor bits & pieces.
Fitted an ENZO leather/chrome steering wheel a couple of weeks ago.
No need for a boss kit I just redrilled the mounting points in the steering wheel to suit as its got a large enough centre boss. |

Also been mucjing around with a 7 inch screen for the Vidigauge. Havent decided where to mount/place it yet as I want to try and conceal it if possible when not in use.
Maybe roof mounted or concealed in the dash, dont know yet still playing. |

Made a new exhaust from front to back.
The centre cat was nearly blocked when I checked it and its made a huge difference.
Front cat now no cat as well.
As No.1 son was working I had to make a jig to get it all together.

| KOFF33 got all the belts changed including the timing belt. All was fairly easy except for the crank pully bolt. Bastard of a job getting it undone, but I worked out a pretty easy way to lock up the motor so I will post that up in the technical thread. |

Last but not least I modified KOFF33's air intake and its pretty easy and cheap, just a few plumbing fittings.
Heres a pic from the top with the new intake pipe going down. |

And from underneath. I have only to decide if I want to modify the underengine cover or keep it original , as all the other mods I have done I have kept the original parts so KOFF33 could be put back to origianl condition  |

Looks good Grant, Great minds and all that.....Exactly what I used to do mine then, transferred the shape to metal, though I used a 45 at the bottom that's where the K & N Pod Filter attaches. Did same with intercooler piping when installed larger intercooler.....in beginning of Sneaza album I think...??? AHHH, Correct album...different site ...the OTHER PLACE....

| I've done that eaxt same mod to the intake Grant but be aware - if you're using a pod filter on the end of it water gets into the engine! I had it happen to me and the car stalled while I was driving on the freeway! (talk about lucky though!). Your steering wheel looks like an almost exact replica of the Issota one I bought last year for Silvery too! |

| Fitted a Wesfil panel air filter in the standard box which has lower pressure drop across it than the standard cappo air filter and drilled an extra drain hole at the lowest point in the bottom of the box. The standard drain hole in the filter box is not at the lowest point so would let water build up in there. |

| Fitted a Knock Sensor and wired it into the Adaptronic over the weekend. set up was a breeze thanks to the program flixdien (Don) wrote. Its a common Nissan one that fits a heaps of different models 180, 200, 300Zx, etc. Hopefully my new analogue TPS will arrive this week. |

Also decided to change the steering wheel as it seems to be too common a wheel on cappo's here in OZ
Also made the wife much happier again as I fitted it on the CRX for her.
Fitted this one an Autotechnica leather with extra horn buttons built into the thumb grips which I will probably wire up for some other purposes yet. |

Good stuff with the knock sensor! Just wondering if there is any difference between a 'used' and new knock sensor? Also, who/where did you order the TPS from? ive been browsing around, but couldnt find anything compatible with the cappa :<
