^^ Do some searching first.

w3rd.

Clearly just another uneducated soul that is unwilling to listen to the advice given in the thread.

Usual stuff of pipe dreamers as well, or kids on school holidays.

Does anyone know where I can rent like a little workshop to work on the car, some things I can do without a mechanic. I just need a garage kind of place.

You going to build your own 3.567l stroker motor as well now?

Honestly mate - have a look @ yourself.

Your trying to skimp out @ 35k on the most important part - the car itself. If you are trying to skimp 5k on the price of the car - and want to build a stroker... lol...

Friday laugh right here

you serious mate? either

1. Ask your local storage place if they do contracts that short

2. Find a mate/relative with a garage, or

3. suck it up like the rest of us without hundred to blow on pointless sh!t have to. Seriously, is this some school kid trying to be annoying or someone genuinely posting this stuff on a forum full of experts ready to flame. You're so lucky the usual boys haven't entered this one to smash you and make the thread interesting.

I do all my work on a grassy hill outside my house because the driveway's on a massive angle and doesn't go all the way to the road, which is not guttered. I'm sure some people on sau make do with less.

As I said before, high posts means experience, and Nismoid has >30k.

Search. Do your own research. And above all else, don't spend heaps of money based on what people say on an anonymous forum.

Relax man I'm just asking, why is renting a workshop stupid? I want to paint the car and fit new suspension and brakes. If these "experts" are so smart then why don't they help instead of hijacking and abusing? The American forums are better than this Jesus Christ I mean what happened to a "friendly" forum? Do you have to be somewhere bro, not enough time then just don't reply. I always prepare everything BEFORE starting a build, not during the ownership and changing parts consistently. I do the build all at once so I can then focus on DRIVING. Don't help, just don't hijack.

Found your car,

Large capacity, 4WD, and forced induction. Alternatively, if you want something more useful

Enjoy

I didn't say stupid. Though I assume you're not going to actually blindly follow the advice one one single thread.

You have to understand mate that people get tired of the same questions over and over from people who refuse to do the smallest amount of research (not implying this of you), so when anyone asks a question without searching they usually get told to do so. It must be 50% of the time at least where a thread is pointlessly created on info that is covered in a sticky or on the next page of topics.

The anonymous forum is a perfect place to attack people without having to know anything about them, that's just the unfortunate reality. And by asking stupid or unresearched questions people open themselves up to criticism.

Don't get annoyed when you post the same question over and over and someone points out it's not a good one. Ask it in a thread on your local area and get a decent answer, rather than the national forum where no one knows or cares. You also have heaps of money to blow and for some reason think the god-car of sau isn't going to be good enough for you. Personally I don't care, but it's not gonna make you friends.

People have much more respect for those that research, just sayin.

    • Rear doors central locking wiring removed and cleaned. See the first 8sec video of when it’s filled with river silt. its a snip of what I’m up against. front and rear doors complete now. Maybe another day removing carpet and bits and pieces. Then the re assembly begins. 🤙 att.DqweJqhY5MZiZYQDVMhn3LtvdD1RBZ7TBG4f2s7W1zM.mp4 att.lFuN22MZEowqCbFAXoDw009r2gHL76ChMVfxMfBX-uk.mp4
    • There aren't boost creep issues, it's not engineered around the restriction of the cats but if you haven't tuned the engine a full decat + exhaust can flow enough air to run off the end of the OEM load scales and you will get a pretty substantial reduction in ignition timing as a result. I recommend using DFCO, avoiding ignition cut limiters, and avoiding popcorn tunes along with running a cat unless you enjoy a perpetually soot-covered and potentially burnt bumper.
    • Small update, it's been slow moving over the Christmas period with money having to go everywhere thats not my car 😅. I got myself a little present to myself from "santa" in the form of some tidy radiator mounts from fitmint automotive to get rid of the stock ones that look like they have been in an accident before and then straightened by a caveman. I know I should've replaced the rubber bush at the same time but I had no idea how bad they were until I was replacing the mounts. Decided to order their dash mat while I was at it as I feel like I am lucky enough to have a pretty decent condition dash and I don't want to risk it being ruined while it's parked in the aussie sun while I'm at work. I have found another electrical fault to add to the evergrowing list to eventually chase down. Every time I replace my taillight globe it blows within a day of use, I'm starting to think my life would be easier if I took a few minutes to learn how to use  a multimeter 😂.   Had some luck with finding a series 2 drivers headlight on marketplace to replace my mismatched series 1 headlight, a subtle difference but it's nice to have a matching set of lights now.   I returned to the air con problem due to being sick of this summer heat, found a good condition condenser to replace my leaking one! I got it in the car and was happy when I got the thumbs up that the system was now holding gas. Sadly the compressor is not kicking in for some reason, we even tried branching the relay in the fuse box. I have tried to do some research on the issue with no clear understanding of what the fix is, so for now it will be placed on the backburner until I can be bothered to look into the wiring to the compressor. The last small mods I have done was cutting the horizontal vents out of the front bar, not really in a functional airflow sense but I just think it looks better as I am not a fan of the series 2 bar. I also switched the shift knob out for a hosoboyo aluminium grex style one, it has a really nice more direct driving feel than the outdated rubbery oem one. Thirdly, I chucked on one of the ebay bonnet strut kits. The fitment is decent and they seem to work fairly well. They have only given out once while the car was parked facing downhill, I think if I was working under the bonnet I would still put the oem hood stay up to be precautionary as to avoid getting a speedy concussion.
    • Got pneumonia, haven’t played with her in a while, but I’m back now. Previous owners cut bonnet pins into the bonnet. My choice try find a replacement or spend $15 get some pins myself to cover up. Now only one small hole to cover. looks shit now, but when the bonnet is red again. Be good 🤞
    • No R32 GTSt had 15" wheels. 205/55-16 was standard GTSt fare. 4.36:1 is standard R32 turbo auto diff. I think the manual was too, not 4.11. 4.11 and 4.08 were R33 namual and auto respectively.
