Thought id break up the car chat with a different thread.

Was wondering what others do to thats interesting or to keep themselves occupied.

OK WE ALL KNOW WE LIKE CARS AND COMPUTERS.

So besides "working/driving/modding" your car and "playing/fixing/building" computers what do YOU do to keep yourself occupied, better yourself in your spare time :laugh:

I'll start if i must...

Currently:

Homebrew beer

Learning to play electric guitar

Build models (cars...yer i know its car related :laugh:)

Electronic projects (anywhere from building them Jaycar kits to building myself a Tube Amp)

Any one else care to share, or are we all just boring car nerds? :miner:

Apart from Cars, Computers I do bugger all else.

Head out fishing when the weather is good to do so.

The old man has 2 year old Haines Signature 550c, 130hp 2 stroke.

He's currently eyeing off a more fishing suitable Mustang 2250 (? I think it is) Walkaround. Will possibly be a stern drive as the fuel economy of stern drives are pretty damn good.

I'm into my fishing, mostly land based at the moment. I'm on fishsa.com under the same name. I get out there whenever i can :P

I also ride bikes, used to race BMX but in the last year I've converted to MTB as they are easier on the body.

    • Thanks for the reply @GTSBoy Haven't really thought of that yet, but you are right. If the hose was damaged it should be absolutely pissing by now. I'll put some heat sleeve around it for good measure since I'm already removing the line anyway.  Maybe I'll put on some of the stock hardlines if I ever fully remove the turbos again. Maybe when T51R modding the compressor housings? Might be a fun mod on GT28s for that "fake single turbo" effect.
    • Update 1: I did some work on the car already before finalizing this post and my "issues" list. I dropped the Tomei exhaust in favor of the HKS Hi Power Silent. Sounds nice and I can actually hear myself think now. Also gives me a realistic chance to legally drive without silencer inserts. A bit of cheating was necessary to still be able to mount the Top Secret style diffuser. Some malusage of washers and a bit of "convincing" toward the brackets and exhaust hanger seemed to do the trick. The shaky steering wheel has been resolved as various suspension components were worn, like sway bar bushings and link bars. Most notably the two steering tie rod ends. Had some trouble finding bushings because my sway bars are not OEM thickness, 23.x up front and 27 rear. But non adjustable, so no aftermarket I suppose. Maybe they are nismo units? Turbo oil drain hoses were definitely still the originals and are new now. Wasn't the cause of the turbo oil leak sadly. Currently removing the rear turbo because of it, I suspect the braided oil feed line is the culprit. This issue needs to be dealt with so I can work towards actually getting the turbo setup legal and inspected. Two new issues to add to the list as well. Rear Main seal is probably leaking. Time will show how bad it is, I don't really want to drop the gearbox right now just for the stupid seal. Could fix a few other things in one go once I do that. Front right driveshaft grease is going past the cv boot, so at some point I'll fix that too.
    • Ok so no 4cyl clutch... Yeah it is a factory manual. So if iam correct i need clutch and flywheel too? I can use something that suits something like R32 GTST?   EDIT: https://www.ebay.com/itm/224291042776 Is this ok?   EDIT2: i maybe forget to mention this(dk how important it is) but the trans will be behind RB25DET NEO(iam doing swap) It will be there for a little while. Iam planing to do bigbox or BMW tranny..
    • You're probably right about that one. Thanks for your suggestions, I hope I don't need a new 3rd brake light. Although wiring issues might arguably be worse. Right now I'm in the midst of a turbo removal because of my oil leak, other problems are going to have to wait for now.
    • Hell, I know that much. So far I just put it off as "part of the deal".
