Thanks guys for all you kind words and congratulations. It means a lot to Min and I.

Min got a very special birthday present this year!!

Ryder Arran Thomson

Born 2nd July 2008 @ 10.03am

Weight - 2.55kg (5lb 10oz)

Length - 44cm

He was 4 weeks early and took us completely by surprise! Min took the Tuesday off work as she was getting slight pains, but didn't think it was happening at all - She just felt uncomfortable. But then Wednesday morning at 5am the waters broke and we were at the hospital by 6 and he was born at 10.

Luckily he was just over the weight break (2.5kg) where they get taken to the special care nursery. That meant that he got to stay with us in the room until we were allowed to go home. We ended up having to stay for 5 nights and we were getting a bit over being in the hospital at the end. He did have to spend 24 hours under the UV lights as he had a bit of jaundice. (Yellowing of the skin, because of too much red blood cells and only small liver to break them down)

But we are home now and settling in OK. Min still can't believe the cheeky monkey stole her birthday!! Min was supposed to finish work on the 4th and have 4 weeks off to get organised and have everything ready!

Because he was early we hadn't decided on a name so he was the 'little man' until he finally got his name on Monday night. Min picked his first name from the book and had liked this name from about a week ago, but it took me a while to be comfortable with it. Once I accepted that we weren't allowed to rename the dog, Linkin, to retread, the baby's name all fell into place . We had already decided on the middle name a long time ago, as this is the Scottish spelling of Aaron (Arran) and is the name of the island off the coast of Ardrossan, Scotland which is where I was born and where my Grandparents still live along with most of dads side of the family.

We already have too many pics, as the granparent paparazzi were snapping away constantly.

Cheers,

Chris, Min & Ryder

    • Thanks for the update I truly appreciate it. I was trying to figure out the sensors. 
    • My son recently purchased a 93 Skyline GTS25 (NA), I am hoping to get some insight as to what potential this car has.  I have auto mechanical experience, and I am capable of working on this vehicle, but I know nothing about it.  Where's the best site to purchase parts (maintenance, repair, upgrades)? What kind of upgrades are available?  Thanks again and I look forward to any information that you all have to offer!   Darrick
    • This is a pump I have used in the past; no oil ever leaks or gets past the regulator plug.I was trying to understand what caused Nissan to not only mention it in their manuals but to also state it's a replacement part yet the part cannot be found on my pump or on any new pumps and there doesn't seem to have ever been a replacement part#.  First time I've noticed something strange like this from NIssan.     
    • yeah I have brown peeking out from in between some metal sheets close to the hood hinges. Strut towers look fine, even around the edges. some images https://imgur.com/a/brGt3Tu the one that looks the worst is the panel(s) going away right near the firewall on the passenger side, from underneath. Driver side does not look that bad.
