Was given a genuine blank Nissan GTR key as given to all Aus. delivered 32GTR owners on purchase :-)

Not sure if I want to run it or not.

I don't think they're all that rare, Chris, so if you need/want another they're pretty easy to get. Not cheap, though, unfortunately. :)

Cost me $54 for the blank from Nissan, but that was a while ago: I also got 5 more spare keys cut for free, since the locksmith I used wanted a few practice runs before cutting the good key :banana:

Did you get done tangles? You pop the bonnet mate????

No, copper said nice car, I said yeah had her for 5yrs now

asked me for license and what I was up to, I gave said license and pointed across the street and said I live there, heading home after doing shopping (pointed to bags on seat)

cop laughed so we got you out front hey? I smiled, said thats fine, asked me to blow in the bag, I replied sure, i dont drink no worries.

copper cheerfully said looks like you dont have a nice day.

too easy

would have given her one too :P hot-as

Finally fitted my plenum spacer today, jeebus! What a difference! Thanks Andy & Craig for the comprehensive kit, went together like a dream (and Cam for the original legwork).

And in keeping with my "If you're gonna do something stupid; you might as well tell everone" policy; I cleverly dropped one of the replacement studs down No.1 intake port :blush: ! Minor heart attack, grabbed the torch, it's sitting about an inch out of reach. "The Claw"to the rescue :( , what a dope... :whistling: lol

I really need to get off my arse and install mine too :whistling: soon, I promise :(

Lucky, you had the claw... That would be scary...

A tense moment while I was getting the torch, let me tell you... Could NOT believe I'd done it.

"The Claw" FTW! :whistling:

Enjoy that new turbo!

@ Daleo....I've had the nightmare of doing that about 5 times now.......lucky the Valve wasn't open!....not that it would fit down there.

@Ian.....soft mate....soft.

@Andy.....do I really still owe your favours......there's gotta be another way to work it off! :whistling:...lol!

Yeah , once I had the torch I wasn't worried, but when it happened... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Must be a visit to the drags on the cards pretty soon.

Edited by Daleo

Give me a week or 2 and then I will be ready.

The aim is to do the turbo on a hoist as it will be much easier than at Craigs place. And he has all the car stands on his hover car... lol

    • No-one in Aus/NZ would pay that much, because they remember when a turbo Skyline/Silvia was a cheap but awesome alternative to the mediocre shit sold here locally at the time. I'm sure over in USA there are enough trust fund kids who will have their R34 GTR, whatever the cost
    • I am stuck with enthusiast and very unhappy, even though Lumley, Shannons and Famous are all options, they all require a lock up garage, and my situation (basically a walled off compound from the street) is insufficient because the car is under a carport. I'm confident to resolve the situation I need to build a roller door with fascia in-front of my roller gate which is a solid opaque metal rolling gate. In any other universe moving the roller door 2 meters in-front of the garage door would still constitute the same amount of security but oh no. My insurance rates suck to the point of when I joined a market research for Enthusiast they were all surprised that I paid about 2-3x what other people were paying with Enthusiast when I asked them why their rates were so high. If I lie about having a garage, I save like $10 a month with enthusiast. (It's about $2600 p.a for 5000km of driving for a very unsustainable agreed value). Lumley has terrible reviews but @Duncan made me consider calling them when renew time came up - but their horrible reviews plus Christmas time made me... forget.
    • Not far. If all you want to do is know that they will reciprocate and move oil around a tiny bit, then a metre or so is all you need. Half metre fore and aft is enough.
    • That's the spirit!
    • It's fine. Basically if it has seized (eg due to moisture/rust in the bores) it will either break free on the starter or it won't turn....then you'll know it is freed up If it turns and doesn't start (reasonably likely) you will need to troubleshoot but most likely issue is a seized injector from moisture; same if it starts but missfires. Anything else could have happened (eg mice nibbling electricals) but the only way to find out is to close your eyes and hit the key I'd also change the fuel filter again after a few minutes of running as it may catch a heap of crap on first start
