Getting the SLR ready, then going to head down to Motorvation Melbourne. Hopefully should be good, the weather is awesome outside!

Gotta wait for my stupid iPhone to restore though, it froze on the home page.

12hrs x 7 days... So ye. Not a lot other than sleep-work-home ---repeat

My base is crappy though, i make the serious cash via OT/oncall/loadings/allowances etc etc. I virtually make my yearly wage, and then the same again with everything stacked on top.

haha, well i don't, so hence i don't mind doing the extra hours.

Also stops me from hitting the piss hard friday/sat nights etc and burning through $300. If i can be @ work earning double that... why not :)

Lol it's good to have allthat money. But what's the point when you really have 0 time to enjoy spending it

when i say HTPC i mean a great kick arse pc with HQ sound card dual HD TV tuners and about 6tb of storage in a antec case that has all the front fascia volume knobs and remote control like this

This is what i've got in mind at the moment

Asus Xonar Essence STX PCI-E Sound Card

Intel Core i5 750

Gigabyte GA-P55-UD3

G.Skill ECO F3-12800CL7D-4GBECO (2x2GB) DDR3

Then i'm waiting for 2tb hdd to drop in price an i will be using my GTX260 as the gfx (so i can play some games on the TV)

and of course the normal wireless keyboard and mouse

Why don't you just get a new ATI card and let it do the Audio (to your amp) and the video same time?

I can take about 3 months of pain, for some good financial gain each year.

I take a few holidays/weekends off to Syd etc etc. Off to Thailand again in a few months

So it certainly does get spent and enjoyed... of course a bit for the ole piggy bank as well :)

    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work 
    • You can just get the injector bosses, which allows top feeds to fit. He can use the same injectors without issue, like these (another option): https://rocketindustries.com.au/af59-2210-rb25-fuel-injector-inserts     The Racework ones look a bit better: https://www.nzefi.com/product/raceworks-lower-injector-mounting-boss-kit-for-r33-rb25det-s14-s15-sr20det/   You could also just get a similar kit like the Radium one by Plazmaman: https://plazmaman.com/product/nissan-rb25det-r33-billet-fuel-rail/?srsltid=AfmBOoogfYq49X0fu2Wdbf8yOf6zt9egyPAif_gn3Qr3G8hzAphhTgOkO70
