Nick just tell him to go buy a supra. None of this conversion stuff thanks

I heart conversions, do something different... I hate reading performance imports and the like and seeing the same thing over and over bores the shit out of me

Sweet ;) 6.3, what's he got like a 408 Windsor?

The cousin I was just talking about has an xt ('67) ute and an xb gt 4 door as well... I think he's a drug dealer lol

Other mates got a real clean xc ute with a built auto and ratchet shifter as well as an xr6 turbo

Not sure what it was based off. All I know it's for the effort it does not make near enough power. It's in an au ute. Some company made it for him about 10 years ago. Was in Street machine and was meant to go into production but never did.

I usually do at least 60 hours a week. And then got told in a meeting yesterday that we don't do enough. :/

Unless you are getting over 250k you are not being paid enough for those hours.

I do close to 60 hours a week and I'm on way way way way way less than 250 thousand :(

Not on $250k a year. My salary dropped something chronic in the last 12 months. :(

You know what the problem is, employers will always want their employees to do "more" work for less or the same money, and employees always want to do less work for more money.

My salary is directly proportionate to what I bill so have no issues working longer hours.

If I know I need to leave early one day for a club event or whatever, I'll pull in the hours on other days. But to do this and then be told that we're taking the piss and not putting in the hours is a shit statement to make.

Most people are in here from 8-4:30. Im here from 7:30-8ish through till 7-8pm easily.

I do 5-1 Monday to Wednesday and 5-7 Thursday Friday and work every second Saturday... I never claim my jobs to be overly difficult but anyone who's worked in customer service/retail will tell you how much it can take out of you

Some humans are wankers

I could never do customer service. Even now I have to deal with people way too much.

I guess when there is no job market your lounge of work can be some what problematic

This as well as a few other factors that have been draining on my time has made life extremely frustrating.

Let's just say that my drop in salary is roughly equivalent to a new decent car...

I bet if we tallied up the hours you spent on here whilst working that '60hours' a week would suddenly be more like 40 if not less!

    • Doing a refresh of my 33 and can see a few websites stating they sell the entire main carpet for our cars, but they all have generic photos which is fine, i understand they are custom made to order.  Just seeing if anyone has got it done or had any experience with this, as i would only want to do it if the fit and finish was as good as oem https://carmatsdirect.com.au/products/moulded-carpet-or-vinyl-for-nissan-skyline-r33-1993-1998-coupe https://knoxautocarpets.com.au/moulded-carpets/nissan/skyline/skyline-r-33-1993-1998/
    • Any plans for E85? If so, add flex fuel sensor.   I'd probably add in the sensors I mentioned above if the Link will support using them for engine protection. With water pressure, you need to be able to effectively set it that "If temp > X, and pressure = atmospheric, shutdown" as at running temp, you should be able to read pressure in the cooling system. If pressure suddenly disappears, it means the water went some where, and this is a quicker reaction than waiting on water temp to go up (Which, can take a little longer than you'd like, considering it now has to wait for hot air to heat it up) Oil pressure, Oil temp, both would be on my list too if you're looking to add sensors. Wideband O2. And at least one EGT sensor. If you're feeling deluxe, put in individual runner EGTs. Single EGT sensor is more so forget about a specific number, get used to "What is normal EGTs", and then keep an eye on it, if it starts going away from "normal" it's a sign something is wrong (Also, things like the tune can still start going out of spec, but EGTs may not show it, for example one injector starts running leaning, so ECU richens everything up, now 5 out of 6 cylinders are rich, and running cool, with one cylinder lean and running hotter, so it's not perfect) Then there is your other things to look at non sensor related, but you may have already done, or have underway, and that would be things like building a sump for more oil, and better oil control under high G-Forces (Cornering, brakes, acceleration). Basically, the above is worth looking/thinking about, if the ECU can do protective stuff with it, and you continue to use it how you are (Drive it to the track, thrash it, drive home, repeat once every 3 to 4 months)
    • Can also confirm these work a treat for most balljoints and bushes. If you have access to a big rattle gun, they make the job so much easier and quicker, compared to using a socket wrench or shifter on the c-clamp 👍
    • Its sort of street but got used for circuit sprints on account of I never drive it on the road because I dont have the time to spare. So it usage was sits around for months at a time then gets driven either 50 or 250 kms to the track followed by 20 laps followed by 50 or 250kms home followed by stuck in the shed until next time. So yeah neither fish nor fowl. Just dont want to break it on the track as a preference. Hence the fairly short sensor/mod list. Probably more worried about it pinging itself to destruction more so than anything oil related.
    • My thing I'd be doing, is pulling it out, and just getting the tune cleaned up for now. Before that even happens, checking over everything, like vac hoses, fuel hoses, etc. No point dropping thousands on sensors if the moment you start it back up all the oil leaks out, or it has massive vacuum leaks etc.   But really, to know what to do, depends on what your use case is. Hard core track car? Throw most sensors available at it. Street car, I'd probably just run oil pressure, oil temps, water pressure, water temp, probably fuel pressure too. I don't know exactly what the Link can handle and do with those though. And if it's mainly just to cruise the streets, rather than mountain runs, you can probably skip most of the above if you've already got them in as gauges and warning lights.   PS, inb4 "sell it and buy a modern sportscar"
