Hey all,

As some of you know I missed last weekends Winton round due to an expected arrival, and I wasn't disappointed despite it happening a day later!

At 7am Sunday morning my wife gave birth to a healthy baby girl weighing in at 7lb 5oz and 52cm long. Both bubs and mum are doing well and are expected to leave hospital this Thurs. As you can imagine both my wife and I are wrapped, and even more so we now have a pidgeon pair which is more than we could've hoped for. We named her Courtney Leah.

It was a bit of a rush to get to hospital as my wife was having major contractions on the way and we arrived with only 20-30mins to spare....as a result I am almost 100% sure that I have made a donation to the state coffers :) but if I had to do it again I would given the circumstances! Anyway the doc is writing a letter on my behalf so I will see how I go.

-Ant.

Thanks guys and I will pass on your wishes to Nat.

All the best for the impending birth Snowie....being so close I didn't think you would make it to WA :whistling:

Lol James...we've pretty much decided that this is our quota so a procedure is imminent,after that I won't have to worry about keeping it in my pants....and depending who is going under the knife I may not have that urge to hump visitors legs anymore :)

Hehehe Scott....thats what cousins are for and the plus side is you don't have to clothe and feed them >_<

Cheers Paul....be sure to point Lauren in the direction of the thread so she can see the new arrival.

aww so cute!!

Zach looks like a very happy big brother >_<

My best wishes to you & your family.

So it looks like you won't be getting any more than about 4 hrs sleep for a while :)

Don't do anything drastic, I bet you'll change your mind in a few years when they're a bit older and annoy you constantly, and you wish they were cute, quiet little babies again. :whistling:

Lol....thanks guys.

congrats mate. time to get those pit crew jackets mits and boots made up.

Hahaha are you offering to knit them :(

so did you take the GTR to the hospital... haha 7,000rpm clutch dump into the hospital car park to handbrake turn in the ambulance driveway was totally necessary officer lol

While I did consider that for a sec the fact that leather is easier to clean than cloth (in regard to the passenger seat) and Nat would've had to wait until I had warmed her up didn't go in the R's favour :)

Only i think Brisberella would have been a beautiful name for a little girl.

Now thats a name....where were you when Nat and I were trying to decide on names?

      Stock rb25det neo questions

      By Wazmond · Posted

      Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads

      RB25DET Engine Oil Dipstick Length

      By DraftySquash · Posted

      Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything

      3 or 4 8-balls in the sump?

      Hmmm interesting. Mine is the exact same and clearly the right one.  The mystery of the engine oil being full after 3.5-4L continues
