finally got my baby back on the rd...


Recommended Posts

its only been what? 2 months sitting in my driveway colecting dust.

feels so good to drive it again especially now with the GTR seats in it instead of those OBX seats which i had to dodge up the rails an inch higher to get in lol.

now to fix up a few things...

-steering wheel (need a tap big enough to recut it)

-wheel alignment (one wheels got too much camber on it as apposed to the other)

-new front tyres

-GTR guard liners cause it looks weird without em

-good servicing and a bloody good clean

nothing i just couldnt drive it cause i had no seats in it...

ive been waiting til i sold the OBX seats til i could get the GTR seats... which i sold last night.

its been sitting in your driveway for 2 months and its YOU you are waiting on? shame on you for neglectting the skyline!! I'm gonna report you to the RSPCS - No wonder you've been having crazy ideas about minis, beetles or god knows what else.

lol *** all yall...

i had other things to organise and waste money on... like the shit heap of a daewoo which some ***wit decided to use as a running ramp which just also happend to over heat and BOIL the oil to a thick chunky goo while someone was using it.

800 for the pair which was just a little more than what i brought the OBX seats (which didnt have rails)... which i sold to get these.

painted dash was meant to come out a very dark grey much like the rest of the trim in the car... which ended up coming up a very light bright grey which is why theyre being painted back to black gloss :D

thats not a bad price for a pair including seat rails. Where did you pick them up from or was it a private sale?

Good to hear your painting it back to black, for a minute there i was a bit worried you might be converting to rice mods :D

    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
