Good luck! Did it snap? :(

I meant that I'm hoping that I'm not the one who causes the valves to get munched up after I've chnaged the bellt :P it hasn't snapped, but it's overdue and I won't be at all surprised if it's skipped a tooth or two. My car is running like absolute shite lately.

Speaking of which... anyone seen or know of any good deals for air/intake/engine hoses/lines? Some of mine really need replacing. Going to change my oil pump next service, and maybe my fuel pump.

If only our IT people felt the same way!

There's probably a reason they are stuck at 1st level support in a govt organisation :P.

I wouldn't cross fingers, it makes it hard to put bolts in

I normally just use my mouth...

Ahh good. You'll be right, it's not a particularly difficult job. There's marks on the cam gears and the plate behind em to help you get it all lined up right.

I bought like a 10m roll of fuel hose off ebay to redo all my fuel lines. It was good quality sh*t and way cheaper than buying it from a local rip off merchant.

All the specialised intake/engine type ones I got straight from nissan (it helps to have the part numbers). The majority of them are pretty reasonably priced, but it does add up if you do a lot of them. You could also look at the silicon kits off ebay, but I don't know if they do them for a 20. They didn't do em for a 25 when I looked.

Disappointing form tonight, two events in two nights too much for you?

Good news though, my phone has been shipped :)

drove past around 9pm, nobody to be seen

figured a decision was made the night before to give it a miss this week

    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
    • Shall we... wake you up when September ends?
