Sorry to hear that Juliette. Hopefully the Lancer can fly the FWD flag for this round.

Hi Bec - really sorry, I'm not going to be able to make DECA full stop now. Just ran into an unexpected expense with the Skyline on top of all the work being carried out to the Pulsar so I'm too short of money.

Don't you have your sisters wedding or something?

yeh but i organised to go up with several mates, already booked the motel and as it turns out my sisters wedding has been delayed :down: so i can't not come to deca even if i can't drive.

and after my enjoyable hospital visit today (another lost 4 hours), i can't take the cast off until the 8th of April

if you want to spot me at deca, just look for the cripple !

I'm sending good vibes your way. Aside from the lack of money/driving ability, I doubt the car would even be finished by DECA at the rate parts are taking to arrive.

All vibes appreciated Juliette.

Interesting re parts, is that because of the age of them or that they are specialized bits?

If you guys want a lift up for the day trip, I'm sure I can fit at least two more in the Lancer, otherwise good luck getting your mechanical problem sorted.

All that's holding it up is a billet input shaft from Asia. It arrived today but it was 0.2mm out of spec and meant it was too tight a fit. Another is being air-freighted over, the gearbox has been up in Sydney for a couple of weeks getting built and the car's been sitting on a hoist up in the air for about 5 weeks with no gearbox, front interior, etc. Lets just say, the gearbox and manual conversion is worth a fair bit more than my car would be stock haha. It's all worth it. I'll PM you closer to the time Clive, would love to take you up on that offer :D

Woohoo, manual conversion. Way to go will be worth the wait.

Should have thought tho' we could have done a dual entry on the day rather than you pulling out.

Not that my "rb18det" scuse me using the acronym, would be much of a comparison but at least it's manual.

Thanks for the offer but my manual driving's not up to scratch. I'd just watch :thumbsup:

Unfortunately I'm going to have to pull out as well...

I hope to still come up and leech a few passenger seat runs from other friendly drivers :blink:

Ash, get your car fixed and gimme a lift up to shep!

haha but it might be fun being a passenger coming for a few spins with you and a few others :P also wouldn't mind going in a 33 GTR to see how they go as i'm currently in the market for one.

Also cant wait until sat night we gonna have a couple of fishbowls or what davo :P

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
