This will be my rides thread for my sigma and r31.
Here is the R31. its a POS and i love it!. its been 2 days since i picked it up. (IMG:http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/1791/sdc10181g.jpg) (IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3885/sdc10184l.jpg) (IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/5807/sdc10183c.jpg) (IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3444/sdc10182v.jpg) (IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/3623/sdc10188f.jpg) (IMG:http://img268.imageshack.us/img268/9330/sdc10195x.jpg) (IMG:http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/4383/sdc10196zph.jpg) (IMG:http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/3699/sdc10198z.jpg) Engine is the main area of concern, as well as the brakes. The peddle is very spoungy and the lights on, so they might just not work soon (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . Also need to put the alternator and water pump belt back on. I flushed the radiator this afternoon, but still dirty (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . The joys of owning R31's (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif) . Will take pics of sigma tommorrow. |

In concern to the rear lights, it would seem one of your switch has bent connections, check them all, if they are broken, bent or damaged, replace them. As for the pedal, bleed the brakes once to remove all old brake fluid, work them as you normally would to run all of the air out of the lines, then re-bleed and fill them. If this hasn't solved your problem, look at your braking master cylinder, and then the brake lines themselves, as they might've split, burst, or likewise.

QUOTE "The gearbox makes a grinding noise", "I went on the R31 club and asked them whats going on and they said its usual of these geaboxes" Thats what the previous owner said. MY ASS. I went for a quick drive and instantly found out that its not the gearbox but the clutch is making the noise. Did a quick search and its a case of a bad imput shaft bearing. Great (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) . |

Tis already got Pacemaker extractors and a 2.25in((IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) ) system, with one muffler, and i have a feeling that the cat is hollow (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif) . Im going to fit my cannnon onto it soon, make it sound alot better and it give it a deeper idle sound. As for lowering it, i would like to, but it already hits evertyhing! Spose it doesnt help that the suspension is original, and it handles like a boat. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) Now i really should go do that fan belt...

lol im not worried about the ricer effect. the cars meant to be a joke lol. Should have seen the pulsar, my god. The cannon is also good for quietning it down a bit cause right now its pretty loud.
Still cannot do the fan belt. the clamps be screwed, gotta cut em off and put new ones on, but i dont have any new ones, so another day wasted, will put up pics of the garnish soonish. |

Then see the mods about improving that thread and maybe having one post per car, that constantly gets updated, and have an index as such on the first post.

lol Updating time! no pics, but i managed to get that bastard radiator out. I had to remove the fan which wasnt really neccisary but a bolt had seized pretty hard on the shroud. The water in the car is as expected, poo brown. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/tongue.gif)
Today i also refitted the rear garnish back on, looks much better but S3 lights and S2 grill/chrome strip look bad (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) . And another interesting fact is where the car is parked it really shows how much camber is has, ALOT Edit: Oh and PPK i would love to clean the engine bay, but i really cannot . The guy, as i said before, has no idea about cars and mechanical so its rusty and the wiring is exposed and RB30's dont like water in the wrong places, but i will def hav a go at it. The exhaust side of the block is flooded with oil, so potential fire hazard there. This post has been edited by THE GHOST: Aug 19 2009, 08:43 AM |
