Balls up of a day at work. Total shit from go to woah. Every redneck trucker in Australia was in at the pub today, 3 bartenders and 400-500 people is not fun times.

Mangs. Timing belt success :cool:

Next up will be to replace some hoses and get some hotter spark plugs to try and get rid of the lag and idle miss. Then oil pump and fuel pump.

Then rear tie rods, boots all round, new rocker cover seal, and maybe a listing in the for sale section.

giving up skyline ownership?

or getting a different one?

Afternoon mangs.

What kind of euro you thinking John?

Pretty sure turbos are on the way out on the GTR the noise is getting worse and it sounds like Scott's now mellow.gif

Morning Mangs,

So narrows it down to bmw, merc, porsche, vw, audi, maserati, alfa, ferrari, lancia or a lambo eh John?

F1 was good last night even if Vettool dominated.

'Tis the season for destroying turbos it would seem.

Knock Knock.

LOL!

At least it rules out the bloody french

F1 was good last night even if Vettool dominated.

They got the DRS zone wrong. Was too many free overtakes on the straightaway.

Other than that was a good race, for all the positions behind first anyway. Webbo needs to find some more talent, stat.

I lol'd at the commentators reference to Kobayashi "doing a Webber".

Yeah needed to be a bit later on to make it a bit more difficult and then all the passing would have to be done in the braking zone instead of before it lol

Yeah, they got it right the last couple of races but they messed it up this one. Cars side by side in the braking zone is what you want.

F*ck, too slow. Phone is already "Out for delivery". Damn DHL and their German efficiency.

Hopefully he either leaves it at the door, or gets back to the depot in time for me to go and pick it up this arvo...

And you know I hate Merc and Lambo, so that narrows it down even more!

If I do wind up going euro it'll be Alfa or VW.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • 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!
