Yeah, I think a drive might be a good way to unwind from work.

Hope to have a few things sorted on the car by then :happy:

Nick in his C34 should be coming, any other Sydney stags?

SAU social cruise 26th Feb

Nah - unfortunately, Raf and Alex, I won't be able to make it. Got a birthday party to attend that afternoon/night and if I come along I won't be back in time to help in the set-up.

There is a March cruise coming up though (details to be posted soon), and I should be able to make that one, depending on how many birthday parties are set up between now and then (mine and at least 5 other friends are all in March)...

Evening peeps! long time no post! Goldzilla, I apologise for not contacting you: I was down your end a couple of weeks ago, but only for a very short time, and mega busy... Hi to all the new faces! Hope all is well!

Micah

Nah: too busy trying to buy investment property, and the old girl's got some life left in her yet!

I'm trying my damndest to make the numbrs work for me to move down your way, but the pricing in the Northern beaches is........ a real Beach! Still, there is some potential.... watch this space... ;)

stag decided to start making a funny noise last 2 times i've driven it.... checked all fluid levels and everything seems to be fine!

pretty sure its the power steering belt or something....as it gets louder when I put the wheel in full lock!! >.<

(at least my clutch thrust bearing whine has gone away for the last 6 months)

might take it in for a service as the 100,000 just ticked over the other day! whistling.gif

yeh im pretty sure most cars make a slight "belty" sort of sound at full lock.. maybe get it checked if your getting someone to do the 100,000km service, maybe them??

yeah i'm getting it checked thursday!! it kindof goes away after the car warms up! >.<

just made me worried cos it was a "different" kindof a noise haha whistling.gif

yeh atezza, make sure when your checking it, the car is running and at operating temp. its the only time the pump bottle will be accurate.

lol, im suprised at how modifcations fit in there.. hahaha

no cats. maybe a mouse, or two

    • Gucci bags tend to hold their value well, so someone’s definitely going to get a nice find here.
    • @Ozdavroz Not going to get a better deal than that. Cash up front and ongoing payments. 🤑
    • I wouldn't even move it like gTSBoy is saying. I'd seriously do what Duncan is saying. Unplug the injectors, and unplug the fuel pump.  Pull the spark plugs out. Have a look in quickly with a bore scope if you want. At most, you can't spray a bit of oil into the bores so there is lubricant in there while you crank it. (Don't fill it, as it's only going to enter the exhaust, or spit at you out the spark plugs holes. Before cranking the engine on the starter, after a 5 year sit I'd probably prime the oil system manually. Easiest way to do so is to look at buying an oil filter relocation block, fit it to the engine. The pressure line going into the engine on this block you can then shove into some sort of oil pump, or put it into a bottle, with that hose going to the bottom. Fill bottle up with oil. Now seal the bottle and add a compressed air line to the top of the bottle. Feed compressed air in, about 20psi will be PLENTY. This will pump oil through the motor. Be aware, it also means it will drain back to the sump, so make sure you don't end up over filling the motor Now bolt the old oil setup back on (or fully install the remote filter system).   This way you've at least pushed fresh oil everywhere, then you're letting the motor crank to then do its own oiling. Then I'd tap the key to make sure it can start to crank, if the motor free bumps, then I'd just hit the key and let it crank. After letting it crank and seeing you can get real engine oil pressure, put new spark plugs in, reconnect the fuel system electrics, and send it.   Additionally, you can look to remove the fuel feed line to the rail, and divert it to a tank so you can get the bottom of the tank shit out, and just incase there's some crud sitting anywhere that gets passed the fuel filter (or is already ahead of it).   If fuel injection at the injectors ends up appearing to be a problem, you can dump the injectors into an ultrasonic cleaner for a quick flush clean out. Note this isn't as good as new injectors, or getting them pro cleaned and flowed    
    • All I can say is, that's still bloody awesome! No plans on caging it I'm guessing?
    • It seems you'd like your Skyline to go to a great home, that can keep it as a beautiful museum piece.  I feel I can provide the perfect place for it, however, I'm not sure I can justify so much money for a Skyline that has only been crashed 3 times. Due to this and market prices, would you be against me buying it for $100.00, with $60 to be paid upfront, and the remaining $40 to be paid annually in equal payments?
