3rd Maintenance @ Formula MB

Time flies, 4 months is just the corner since I did my 2nd maintenance at Formula D. Thus, I decided to make the 3rd maintenance this morning since I off today. I insist go back to the same workshop but this time not Formula D, its changed the name to Formula MB~

I have been told by Hafizd I just have to change the engine oil and oil filter. Because so far my Hippo don't have any problem with the Motul 300V 15W50 hence I insist to use back the same engine oil without try others brand. Besides of engine oil and oil filter, I also ask them to take out my front bumper to make good the grill located at oil-cooler side. The grill is loose at bottom part and will be fall out if not make it good, I bet its caused by high speed run. At 1st, Hafizd try to use silicon to "stick" the grill, its work but I think same problem will happen after the few high speed run, thus Shiva suggest to use Poly Putty + hardener cream on the grill, this material did a good job and I believe the grill can't fall out even go for hundred times of Sepang track! Thanks Shiva as well as Hafizd~ ^_^

On hydraulic jack....

There is a FD3S there, she need some time and effort to make good -_-

Jack up for oil drained.

Formula MB's champion! Mouse and butterfly killer *miaooooOO~*

Bumper is take out to make good the grill.

Front 6-pot AP Racing brake caliper.

Ohlins suspension. Note: Not suitable for pregnancy, trust me!!

Found out my grill was actually held by silicon....

Best way to hold the grill is using this > poly putty with hardener acceleration. Smell good to me ^_^

Wondering what brand is this oil-cooler, it got 12 layers. The blue bulb is signal light.

GReddy B.O.V, love to hear my BlueHippo's fart~

Job done~

Few pictures took before I go back home~

Alternator Found!

Yesterday morning I received sms from Adil told me that he found an suitable alternator and has been installed into my car. It is a good news to me but is the alternator for Skyline used? In order to check this out, I went to his place at afternoon.

Wow~ Guess what?! This is the 1st time I saw Twin FD3S there, I bet my brother is wetting his pants since he is a die hard fans of FD3S, LOL~ And of cause I'm feeling very great to meet the 2 owners of this RE machine> Kevin and Armin(correct me if I'm spelling wrong your name, sorry...). I totally admire their spirit of drove the long way from Segambut area to here for service their car. *Thumb up*

Additional, I can't really see the full model number of the recon alternator since already installed into my car. What I can get from there is  "23100 0V???". I've read some Skyline forum before, as long as "23100" at front, it suit to all Skyline... Is it real? Correct me if I'm wrong. Anyway, since this alternator can fit to the pulley thus I assume this to be done. Paid and drove my Hippo back~

After arrived home, I tried to off/on my engine few time to see how its response? There are 2 or 3 times need 2 or 3 crank to spark the engine up. I call Adil again and he said is normal. Maybe I'm over worry hence I plan to leave my car there for 1 more day in order to make sure all is running good.

Two FD3S was there for service. White(Armin) and Dark Green(Kevin).

My old alternator, I'll take it for rebuild, just in case the current one die again. (touch wood)
