Rant time:

I'm looking for a spare engine/gearbox for my RS250 racebike. I answer an ad one guy has for an engine/box for $500. I tell him I'm real keen and I'll be in VIC in the next few weeks to pick it up. Next reply I get, he's saying sorry totalled receipts for work done and now wants $500 more than what he quoted. I tell him I'm not interested anymore and now he's having a go at me for wasting his time! Wasting his time??? :banana:

Ready to just say I'll take it, go over there in the next few weeks and then just hand over the cash for the original price! Whatever happens after happens ... but I'll give him a demonstration of wasting time.

:devil:

I'm heading towards the same boat! As much as I love the GTR... I really want to travel :banana:

do it man. i was meant to do it years ago, i almost regret putting it off for so long.

i mean, i can always buy another car when i get back, but spending 3+ years seeing the world... thats a little more difficult.

i dont wanna sell the s14, i love the tractory pos to bits, but yeah... time to do something mature i spose.

nah, they sell them as "cold air induction kits" with a ram on the end, and charge like a wounded bull for them

try sprints. i saw something like what youre after at the local on the other day.

step 2 return in 10yrs time to classic automobil still respected n feared by many :banana:
I could purchase one of those car bubbles.

storing a car for an extended period of time isnt as simple as just chucking it in a car-coon or something...

my boss friend has 1 of those for his 60s shaguar v12 :cool:

just make sure u secure godzilla properly i was watching this movie jurrasic park and when those animals got loose holy crap.

n yeah its not that simple but its doable, all depends on how much you like ur car.

Garage GT-R,

Take loan for trip, enjoy yourself.Then pay it back slowly and keep your pride and joy and then get home loan and merge loans and the trip loan will disappear into a 300k mortgage :cool:

    • I’d love to find some where that can recover the dashes to look brand new and original. Mine has a very slight bubble, nothing compared to come I’ve seen though 
    • $170K. I asked one of the guys there as a joke if that price was just for the passenger seat as it was where the price sheet was... he tried really hard to crack a smile 😄 He also mentioned that every single part of the car was inspected and either restored or replaced with a new or as new part, or made from scratch. The interior was incredible, every inch like a new car.
    • Time for a modernisation, throw out the AFM, stock O2s, ECU into the e-waste bin. Rip out the cable throttle, IACV, pedal, etc. into the scrap metal bin. DBW, e-throttle, modern ECU, CANbus wideband, and the thing will drive better than when it left the factory.
    • I agree, don't go trusting those trims. As I said, first step is to put the logger away, and do the basics in diagnosis.   I spend plenty of time with data loggers. I also spend plenty of time teaching "technicians" why they need to stop using their data loggers, and learn real diagnostics.   The amount of data logs I play with would probably blow most people away. I don't just use it to diagnose. I log raw CAN data too, as a nice chunk of my job is reverse engineering what automotive manufacturers are doing.
    • I'm aware, but unless you're actually seeing the voltage the ECU is seeing and you're able to verify the sensors are actually working I find it hard to just trust STFT/LTFT. I will say, logging the ECU comes naturally to me because it's one of the lowest effort methods of diagnosis and I do similar things in my day job all the time. Staring at 20+ charts looking for something that isn't quite right isn't for everyone. NDS1 allows you to log almost everything so that's normally what I do and then sort out the data later.
