right, got this digi dash out of my old nova 1.2. i removed the whole loom and stuff from the car. i then snipped the wires where i thought i would join them to my nova loom. i left plenty wire coming out the multiplugs. is this all i need to join up to the new nova loom? does it look like everything is there? also i have pics of the transducer etc still on the old loom. i am not sure about snipping them wires yet so left them on. where do i cut and join them? where do i join the wires too? there is 3 wires that come out the transducer and wondering what to do with them? (i hate wires/electrics)!! please help!:thumb:

mint progress -- i really want a GSi bumper now :)
gsi bumper really does make it look cool (even unpainted).
got the gsi badge on the grille today and it looks sweet!
i'd leave the GSi badge off tbh -- but i was going to get one for mine for all the laughs in the world lol
very nice, sell me your digi dash and other gsi bumper lol
i was always told putting a digi-dash into a nova was a pain in the ass...is that true??
And because of the old LED's they make a ticking noise when changing info/data/number...
Vaughan
never heard of that mate. could be true.
nah same here but i've heard the noise on one of those things at a track to tell you the laptime -- except it was 500x louder :)
any more updates greg??
nah not really. de-badged it tonight (for re-spray, put bolts on the inside of my wings (i forgot, doh!), put my vin plate things on the slan panel and tried to get my bonnet to close properly but no success. ended up having to snap the grill trying to get the grill off so i could break back into the engine bay.lol
got in and tried to fix it for about an hour (its all out of line after new panel welded on), so i am just taking the catch etc off and having bonnet pins.
apart from that i have not been doing anything. will get pics up when K&N, strut brace and gsi spoiler etc fitted.
well i was bored today so i did a bit of faffing about.
i rubbed down the glue rubbish that goes behind the bump strips and got all that smooth. then sprayed it with primer to stop it rusting til i get a full re-spray.
i also fitted my gsi bumper (properly) and its all prepared to be sprayed.
then tonight i went to buy a car trailer (and did) but while i was there i spotted some MINTED nova gsi wheels. i have got a centre cap missing but am sure i will have one kickin around or one of my mates have one.

hate the wheels mate,good job with the car
how can u hate original Nova SR wheels you clown!
they'l look mint on it Greg :)
looking good greg, get them on asap
will put them on later maybe (just for pic) but not keeping them on for long as they might get damaged or covered in paint etc if they are on the car. i will leave the old wheels on til its nearly finished.
i also said that to him on msn. awell, its his opinion. i think it will look cool with them wheels as a gsi replica.Quote:

yeah it will look good :)
i have fitted my gsi 3 spokes to one side and it looks rather good.
also put my skirts on (well...sitting against the car, ha ha) and they look good too. P.S, thanks Craig Green!
will get a few pics over the weekend. i am going to take it out and give it a wash as its chatty and i am going to test my new brakes.
any news on the pics Greg??
yep, will update pics shortly. cant be ****d uploading them. wil get them up soon.
going to be fitting my gsi spoiler this weekend i think. might spray some things black too. got a spare half a litre of paint i might just tidy it up before the re-spray next year i think.
well got the nova out again today. fitted my gsi skirts, think it looks good. needs painted though. i am undecided if i should paint my skirts grey or black to match the car. if it was grey it would have to be the orginal grey colour.
i also started fitting my gsi spoiler but kind of made an ****. the window washer jet is too big so spoiler does not sit on.:mad:
i put some new ngk racing plugs in and she runs very good now. there is blue smoke now and again though after i give it big revs or thrashing it.:confused:
here is some pics-let me know what you think please.cheers

Looks mint Greg
Do the skirts grey :)
im sorry greg, but your nova is one of the mintes ones around, especially seen as your 14 and youve done all this so far, its amazing
keep up the work bud, 1 day we will meet up for a beer lol
cheers for that comment dave. much appreciated!
got the gsi bumper painted this morning (just to waste the spare paint i had left) ha ha
you will also see the skirts etc are back off and they will be getting sanded down and primed then eventually painted when the whole car goes to get painted. oh and i freshened up my 60mm springs.

put a red or chrome bumper strip on it to break it up a bit
other than that, looking mint :)
wow
got a few runs when you look closely but wont matter as it was only to waste paint i had left from engine bay. it will be getting all rubbed down and done properly when the whole car goes to get sprayed. will also be getting a red stripe round both bumpers.
i also sprayed the bits that i had primered along the sides of the car.
a few pics of my spoiler fitted. i am very chuffed with this. it is slightly out at the drivers side but it is just me being picky. i think you would not notice it once its all black and unless you were looking very closely. cant wait to get it all black. so close now!:D

Greg
looks better doesnt it greg.. little things add up to big changes
made sure the boot opens without catching the aeriel?
yes and yes. ha ha.
very pleased now. think the nova could be getting sprayed fairly soon as my dad told me start preparing it to be painted and i have to get it perfect before he sprays it black. ha ha. he also said get them skirts and spoiler lovely and smooth then plastic primed.
what you guys reckon of ma nova now? good and bad opinions please. ha ha
looks good -- i want to see it in person
my dad says you can come up and use what you need of that red tape then leave lol
no one is getting to see it in person til its finished really. very few people have been to see it.
you are welcome to see it once its finished or just about finished.
ha ha, i dont need the red tape for a while yet...
did some more mucking about tonight.
i fitted my 60mm lowering springs. (still sits a bit too high) need 80mm i think...
i also tried some red and blue insulating tape on my bumper and i decided blue was the coolest. this was just to see what it looked like and got ripped off again as the tape was roughly put on and too thick.
