*Big man hug*

Now who's gonna encourage me to go out on Friday nights and spend more and more money on my Skyline? ;)

I pic up my 33 in the next few weeks so i can, lets do a group buy on traction paint and quad overhard sunvisors.

Shawn will miss out and feel inferior.

Good luck.

Rules I remember

Don't lean on the walls

Don't volunteer for anything

Don't take all that stuff they tell you to take, just some trousers, shoes and shirt. You WILL be issued with anything you need. You will need to CARRY your luggage everywhere with you, don't take bags with wheels you will carry them anyway.

Don't get caught with the girls

Do go to Sunday Church, gets you out of cleaning and the only place for getting wine.

Don't say you were part of any cadets etc

Gezz there's a million more, you'll find out soon.

I'm expecting it to probably suck balls but hey it's only eighty days possibily less than sixty to begin with if i get sent home for two weeks over christmas (said so in my paper work but I'll wait and see if it actually happens) and I'd like to think i'm big enough and ugly enough to get through it :thanks:

Good luck! Hopefully you get to learn how to do cool stuff like run for hours with a big heavy pack, crawl through mud and get up at 5 in the morning.

Sounds like fun to me. Anyways, hope all goes well and hopefully we will see you around christmas!?

As for everybody else, do we really need encouragement to spend money on our cars? What else are you going to spend it on? Food? Rent? Maybe we need to set up a support group for those who are losing their way. Hahaha.

Yeah wish you well Shawn, give us the heads up when you're returning and I'll try to organise a lunch or dinner cruise somewhere so we can all catch up.

Don't get caught with the girls

I guess its best to get caught with the girls than anything else :( but if you do get caught... we want pics :)

Yes you will get 2 weeks off at christmas cos the instructors have lives too (i personally reckons its weak as piss) and you will get heaps of leave in the army plus there is plenty of clerk postings in Canberra, so we will se you often im sure.

Goodluck and my advice is dont take shit from the arms corps, just laugh at the fact you will get payed more for a lot less work (well it always pissed me off anyways).

hahahahaha have with kapooka that place sucks balls... been in for 5 yrs now

Second that. What u do in there dude?

    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
    • I managed to get the foam will the original upholstery off in one piece, so will be an easy to re fit thankfully.
    • Then eventually someone in a Tiguan MK2 with an email toon and some random Alibaba pipes. (FWIW, I ran a 12.9s down the 1/4 in the wife's car)
    • Not much. It's barely more than an hour's labour. So that-ish plus a boot, clamp strap, some grease.   But, being an R32 GTR, when it is up in the air and the driveshaft is out, about $9k worth of other problems will become visible.
    • Yes, as above. The welding is an easy enough job. Proper reupholstering, perhaps less so. These, and pretty much all seats of the same era (and probably still) rely on molded foam parts to make the shapes. That foam is the yellow detritus visible in the photos. And it is difficult to replicate. I didn't want the pain, so went aftermarket seats instead. But for "saving a classic".... it's probably worth the kidney and left nut that a trimmer will want to redo them.
