i dont midn downloading 200MB :) is there a free host somewhere that will do a file that size?

can you shrink it to about 50?

I don't host.

What a knucklehead! - The guy was 20 y.o., had an R34 and didn't have it insured, obviously coz he couldn't afford it or couldn't see the value in paying thousands for insurance.

The bloke reckons his R34 GTT was worth $50k.

I think he floggin' the log a tad there. :D

Hmmm 50K for GTT. Seems a bit much unless it was an insane sleeper.

Still sucks to get your ride stolen.

Why the hell wouldn't you at least insure it for 3rd party fire and THEFT at the very least. Prolly $600 tops.

Fire and Theft only covers you up to $5000 from my understanding.

    • Just a follow-up on this topic. From what I can tell so far the rusty residue on the engine block might be unrelated to a coolant leak or maybe just older than anticipated. After driving it from the winter garage to my friend's garage I could not see any new traces of coolant leaking there, but I will test this properly once I was able to fully warm up the car and drive it for a bit. I think I can agree that the whole porous engine block stuff is kind of nonsense, but there is just a silly amount of true, false and half-true information on anything Skyline-related on the internet.
    • hrmmm , not mine , easter plans to pull engine not happening     
    • I removed the IACV, cleaned it and reinstalled.  I found a video on youtube that helped with the whole process, the guy then said the idle needed to be set, so the process was to get the vehicle up to operating temperature, unplug the TPS, set the idle screw in the IACV so the RPMs were around 600, then plug the TPS back in.  After I reinstalled the IACV, the car started (because, it was a cold start), once it warmed up, the car died, I adjusted the idle screw to see if that helped anything, it did not, I had to wait about 3-5 minutes, then the car would start back up. Only to shortly cut out, and only crank.  I loosened the TPS to see if adjusting that would do anything, and when I would rotate the sensor clockwise, there was a humming noise, but it would go away when I got the sensor in the horizontal position.  It only made the hum noise with the key on.  What do you guys think? 20250414_172604.mp4
    • Quick update.  The engine grounding strap was replaced, the engine is now happily running.  Tested the voltage drop before replacing the strap, was about 1.2ish volts down between engine to battery, chassis to battery. With the new grounding strap, pretty much no voltage drop at all.
