lads and ladies, unfortunately that time has come. after actively announcing the sale of my car a few months ago, my price has dropped and dropped and today, i took a deposit on my car. it will be gone by next week.

needless to say, of course, you can all come and pay your respects and love and affection and cuddle it for the last time under my ownership on friday night. youse all better bloody come out!!!!! :P

the car is, thankfully, staying in canberra with a new owner (who tells me he's pretty keen to get involved with you grubby fellow 'liners and sau when he takes delivery etc). he's a nice guy called tim. no doubt you'll be seeing him round the traps etc. i'm sure its only a matter of time before he introduces himself to everyone.

so now i'm left in this horrible position of trying to figure out what to do for transport. it needs to be cheap(er) than the line and somewhat cool/unique/fast etc. that rules out anything vaguely australian or american, but please fire your suggestions away! :O

i'm already missing my car and i've got 1 week(ish) left to bond with it and say my goodbyes. :D *sniff*

I hear Diahatsu make some w34pon5!

Haha.

Hmmm, decent looks and power at an affordable price? well, i'd go with a modified 180 or series 2 S14.

As far as other options go, i'd need to put some thought into it.

It looks like the "parting of ways" will be happening with a few of us over the coming year, but we will all be back with much more powerful and stylish cars in the future.

My next one is 2 years away.

lol but nick redline's at 9000 tho.... ? so perhaps we should pull the fuse and smoke the rears bounching off the limiter in 2nd. waddya say :P *evil grin* i could never have such little mechanical sympathy tho... so tim if you're reading this, rest assured your baby is gonna be o.k. :P

no this week is gonna be a lot of finding suitable transport and... unfortunately... lots of work... so i'm not gonna have much driving chair time in her before she's someone elses. :blink: *sniff sniff*

sorry to hear that its finally gone. :rofl: i bet most of us thought that you'd never sell it, well i did anyway!!!

i dunno, if you dont wanna spend too much, then maybe go something with the s13 base (modded of course!).....

lol duncan. 200b's make wicked horsepower heroes so i hear :D teehee. and yeah i'm going to miss her so much :P hopefully it wont be too long till i park another gtr in the driveway.

actually, i think you should each buy me a lottery ticket as a farewell pressie for the car. waddya say? :)

    • CTIS (Central Tire Inflation System) has existed since the 80's. I'm looking into buying a Hummer H1 and they generally included it. 
    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
