French Rally Sunny GTiR

Possibly a shallow tray & some petrol & roll the filter & agitate it in the petrol. obviously no smoking. Seen this done on a few cotton filters when no better cleaning fluids available & they cleaned up ok.
Once dirt & oil has been lifted out you can wash again in warm soapy water then rinse well & let dry. Do need use a quality filter oil & not to heavily applied or the maf will pick up to much oil residue.

Hi all, little update.
i had not much time left for the little demon these days as my work is huge, i have many project and a house is coming...
as today was a bright sunny day, it was for sure a day for the sunny!!

first of all, the cotton fabric filter. it staid on the shelf so i washed it with gas to remove all the big dirt as it was really dirty.
and now it is in an hot water with soap to remove the last little dirt. afterwartd i will dry it and spray it with oil.

here some pics to share with you this bright day!

Stunning pictures fred thanks for sharing them.You probsbly know but remember  when you oil the filter a light coat then repeat at a later time if you feel it needs it not to much or it gets onto airflow wire and makes car run crap

Thanks Johnny!
car was dirty due to dusty rain we got last week, and bumpers are still waiting for a respray...

i know for the filter, i'm used to spray the kn on my minis!  

Looks good fred .... only thing i could see wrong was the front bumper other than that it looks super clean and lovely settings for it ...

Looking good Fred!  

....look at the rear bumper!!!  

thanks Hardy

Cars looking good very clean fred

thanks a lot mates, but it isn't!!!

i will definately change the tailpipe to put a smaller one, and get the rear bumper repaired and painted with the front one.

very nice fred but I do think it looks better with the gold comp mo's but that's just personal choice I guess

I think I agree with bob on the gold compomotive alloys, I think they suit the car better but that's my personal choice. Both sets of wheels suit the car well though.

I suppose it's nice to have several sets of wheels so you can have different tyres for different conditions readily available by simple switching wheels

these handles better!!   

Loving the white on white mate think you made the right choice

That's the most important thing   

Coming along nice Fred!
Weldone mate
Loving the enkei!

Love the enkeis Fred stick with those comps hve been done to death

enkeis look great as does the car & location.

thanks to all!! but it will looks far far better in few weeks!!

hi all!

today, little work on the R.

Oil on the filter, and all put together



i've changed the silent decat and put a straight decat, changed the 4" inch tip tail by a 3" one and just put a pair of mudflaps at the rear...



and clean these bloody white alloys!!

a friend of mine gave me a little gift, genuine nismo badge !!

Do you notice much noise difference between the decat and straight through fred ???

don't know Leighton, i can say that all the stuff is much more quieter now with the. 3" tail pipe. And i remove the silent decat just because it was touching the heat shield under the car and it was upseting! lol

Well, i had a leak on the clutch soft pipe, and with this sunny weather i decide to do the job this morning....

i found the leak, and try to undo soft pipe to get it of....impossible because of the tightening torque between the hard and the soft pipe. So i decide to take all the pipe assembly to replace it by a complete one piece braided line.

What do you think, AN3 or AN4 for the braided pipe size?

here we are, i just finnish to put and drain the clutch system...once again.
i bought a full length braided line to avoid any leak between unions....



much better looking and better to put in!



no more troubvles with this one now!

i also plu the back pipe of the dumpvalve to listen her blowing! the Arc one i have atm is fairly good when it is used as recirculation, but it's quite shit when it is in open circuit....so i thjink i'll try the sheepdog one i bought from Bill

Hi ALL!!
just to let you know the Gti-R has been sold and is now in hands to be used on historic Rallyes by a Nissan Mechanic i know very well!!
