Dunno what getting mostly.

I'll be lucky to get somethin' from the mrs cos we're both a bit broke atm, but she knows I'd be sad if she didn't get me something (she knows I don't expect anything stupid or pricey, just something personalize, and thought put in to it - I don't care if she made it with her bare hands, or she turns up to my place in a big red bow).

However from parents and grandparents usually get a little cash, which always goes far, and exactly where I need to apply it.

f**k!! you just reminded me that I received 2 cards with cash in them at family christmas on the weekend, and stashed them inside a bag that my GF received as a present. I'd have forgotten about this money completely!! At least until the bag was opened and the cards taken out lol...

Thanks ;)

You left out tools! I'm getting a trolley jack.

Aside from that Pete and I are just buying each other something small this year. I just bought brakes and fuel pumps for the car so I have nothing to complain about.

I am looking forward to dishing out the mountain of pressies out under my tree to my friends and fam though :D

I asked for a set top box as I'm sick of not getting the F1 at the same time as everyone else, but I think I was too late :(

So from the family I'm pretty sure I'll end up getting wine/champers, girly stuff like body lotion etc, maybe some cash or gift cards. I like all that stuff though :)

      I'm hoping I just don't have to do an engine rebuild NOW. Doesn't mean I won't do it at some point. I think a plus point is that the car presumably ran on or close to stock power nearly all it's life so far. Only the Owner I bought it from actually increased power with a standalone ECU and blew the OEM turbos. And after it got thee 2860s it wasn't driven an awful lot either.   That is what I meant. With the twins coming on so late (4500-5000rpm) I hope the rods won't want to exit the block prematurely. And it still being a 26 means the torque curve isn't gonna hike up all that much.   It didn't blow up on the dyno when they tuned it to 500ish crank. So I suppose it'll be okay for now. They did put a Tomei head gasket on first though which did not seal at all, and they redid it with a Cometic one. Which I hope won't be my water leak.   Mainly anything oil. So far all it has is the N1 pump, oil restrictor and a filter relocation kit with a cooler.

      Comfortable replacement seats for R32 GTR

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      15000? ish? Something like that anyway. It wasn;t so much a wear as a tear that then spread. Might have lasted a lot longer if not bothered by just one incident, whatever it was. I took a punt. They are really comfortable and do a good job of holding. My daughter HATED it when I first put them in, and probably still does now. She has sensory issues and hates the way they are all up your business. I'm 197cm and 95kg. Not fat or particularly wide, and the XL size seat is the rigth fit. If I was any fatter it would start to get too snug. Any skinnier and you'd possibly want the smaller width.

      The NA 2.5 has very little torque. You won't feel much. Those trannies are also a million years old now and it could well be f**ked. First generation electronically controlled autos will often refuse to kick down, ete, etc, depending on what's wrong with them.

      Yes, but no but yes but no. Those "it's fine up to 500HP" rules and everything else like it were all determined back when the cars were 10 years old. As they are now 30 years old.....what do you reckon the chances of something shitting the bed are? I'd say they are much higher now than they used to be. You might be lucky. You might be unlucky. Spin the wheel and find out. Yeah, nah. It's actually exactly the opposite. Making boost early and having heaps of torque able to be generated right in the middle of the rev range will do more to damage an engine than having to rev it high to make the power. Think about the load on the conrods, bearings, etc, to make 400HP at 4000 rpm, vs 400 HP at 6500 rpm. So someone has already "let the Nissan out" which is how we describe the increased chance of a fiddled with engine to have had something done wrongly. Many more engines that have been opened die than stock ones do - even if you into consideration how they are treated wrt power levels and the like. Again, not saying that yours will definitely have been put back together by a moron. But the possibility does exist. It's still a lottery. Spin the wheel. What weakspots?
