LOL... thank's...

wouldn't be much of a difference since the map is for Japan...

maybe IF the car is converted into SuperGT contestant car and shipped back to Japan to compete in SuperGT 300 or 500 class! if that happens I'll make sure I'll leave the japanese NAV DVD-ROM on and tell the race engineer it's for a A/F ratio data recorder so they'll let it stay.

gonna keep it for a while...

might have quite some overtime work over the coming few months so an extra ride is handy...

me n the mrs normally drive into the city together, then she finishes work first and drive home, leaving me at the mercy of connex's overcrowded trains...

just a note on car batteries, they should be able to be recharged if they flatten, sounds like the ones you had were old, if a battery discharges to often it oxidises and can't be recharged fully, if it happens a few times then the battery gets stuffed. I worked for a battery warehouse for a little while, and when the batteries went flat in the shop they would be sent back and recharged by 'large' battery chargers ( the sort that look like a heavy duty welder), restamped (on the end of the terminal) and then sent back to the shop. The batteries still carry the 2yr warranty but you shouldn't necessarily think the battery is 'brand new' when you buy it, because it could already be old and have gone flat a few times too.

Take the car to an autoelec and get them to load test the electrical system, from memory if the battery drops below 9V when cranking then its pretty much had it.

    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
