That's a great daily. Awesome work.

[VR42LT]

Cheers scotty!

So today thought i would black the pipes out and do the classic red rocker cover. I think it looks good.



Looking at wiring up the alarm then overhaul the suspension with just new stock bushes and lowered springs.

Badass sleeper!!

[GSRVR]

Very cool, nice work so far.

[SIVART]

awesome sleeper

[VR42LT]

Thanks guys its coming along.

So today i picked up a evo momo wheel with a little wear but it looks heaps better than the old stock nimbus one.

Ive got to modify the wiring on the clock spring to get the SRS light to go out and to obviously get the bag to work.

Man i have more fun on this thing than the vr4

Always wanted the scooped bonnet. I know it takes away the sleep effect a little but im stoked with it.

And thats why i love my wagon! I have more fun in it than most cars! Sleepers are mint

So i had a tyre keep going flat on the stock 14s so i instead of spending coin on new tyres i found these enkei 15 inch oz racing wheels for sale in Dapto with good tyres on them. Bargain at $200.

If you thought ot needed lowering before, well........









Really happy with how the daily is coming along, just needs alarm wired and suspension sorted

[Cranked]

In my hood today then. Lol

So the stock nimbus radiator cracked a neck and i was on the hunt for info about e3 radiators to see if it would fit the nimbus. Thanks to evogsr i was able to purchase a ebay evo3 radiator confident it would bolt in.

Here are the results.









So stoked as the nimbus fan bolts on and the radiator bolts straight in on the mounts top and bottom. To my surprise the unit runs well with it taking ages for the thermostat to open and fan kit in, but then only taking about 20 seconds for the fan to cut out.

I was told these would fit RVR too but after doing this conversion i would bet my ball it will as nimbus is the same engine bay set up.

[VIN18M]

Still plenty of room too by the looks of it!

[VR42LT]

Is abit thicker so i had to stuff around with the itake pipe and swap it from all alloy to a silicone elbow/joiner off the turbo as it pushed the fan back further.

Its a 52mm thick radiator

Glad to be of some assistance Wade.
Got a link to that radiator? Looks to be of pretty good quality??

[VR42LT]

Thanks again mate.

I like the cooler piping 

 

only issues that come up on them radiators are the lower tap , and the cap holder go soft , Ive had mine replaced and its a solid unit now

[White Knight]

Nice work Wade, coming along very nicely indeed mate.
