Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily - Part1
Re: Nimminz' GLT
look what came in the post today
New ignition coil, will be put in tomorrow. Then new plugs, leads, dizzy cap and wheel spacers, come thursday if all goes well. Also got some mud flaps for free that might replace the rear ones i took off as they were nackered, air filter might get tried soon, didn't have time today. Hopefully and after market backbox might find its way onto the car soon. Just ordered a new exhaust centre box bracket, the one that broke on mine. HAPPY DAYS!!!
Oh and a photo i took of the glt next to its modern relative
Thanks for looking!

-New exhaust bracket fitted, just need another bolt and washer :/
-Got new Spark plugs (thanks to sven360), just got to be gapped and installed

Re: Nimminz' GLT
haha aye they looked good when i fitted them like but there was like 5mm of thread left on the studs past the alloy. Drove about with them but didn't like to give it too much round roundabouts etc lol
Tried fitting the Electric mirrors last night, took drivers door card off, found half the window mechanism lying at the bottom of the door :/
Then went looking for the rubber cable duct that the wires would need to pass through into the car, found it very hard to get the wires through, and the same from the other side. So I've given up on doing them, more hastle than they're worth. I'll clean them up, work the wiring out 100% then post them up for sale
Photo of the new exhaust bracket and my rotor arm, does it look in good nick?

Re: Nimminz' GLT
Have now replaced rotor arm, car is running great
Exhaust has started blowing again where the backbox has been rubbing on the drive shaft (excuse for better backbox), fanbelt(s) has started squeeling (not hard to sort i don't think), my wheel nuts are getting to the stage of needing replacing (OEM ones seem extremely easy to damage)
12mx12.5 thread am i correct? Haynes manual says nowt about them :/
Also what are the dimensions of standard wheel studs, one of mine is shorter than the rest and i don't trust it
cheers
edit: and a pic i took after replacing ignition stuff:

Re: Nimminz' GLT
I was looking into wheel nuts, needed to know the size. Cheers! Want some anodized ones It'll put some colour into my black n silver car!
I think that shot of the rocker cover is fantastic Nimminz, the processing has brought out the texture, makes it pop out. Awesome.

Re: Nimminz' GLT
cheers mate! I'm pretty sure thats the size, we will find out tomorrow when the nuts arrive.
Just a couple of photos:
New Rotor Arm:
Pretty sure its coming from the oil filler cap (fingers crossed). B19 one is supposed to be better, will try and get me hands on one
Tomorrow may see the start of a rear strut brace, new wheel nuts and putting a better switch in for my electric fan
we shal see

Re: Nimminz' GLT
is it? thought it would have stopped a bit of flex in the back of the car, make it a tad more rigid? Sure i've seen it done on here.
It wont cost me anything for the metal and keeps me occupied lol
