@landscribble.....come to think of it now James (10 4) did mention you ages ago in one of our random car related chats.....and yeah I often drop and pick my sister from uni so that would explain it.

Update:

Work roster is hectic (lots of people on leave at the same time - slackers!!) and coupled by the fact that I am saving for the rims now car stuff has been put on the back burner sadly.

Did however pick these up yesterday (enough of struggling with miniscule rachets)......and plan to spend a couple of hours on my days off scrubbing my current rims till they are squeaky clean !!

^^^^^ :thanks:

Today is seat day.....

First up....I highly recommend a GTR seat.....works wonders.....I am so snug in it now its not funny.....its comfortable yet firm....holds you amazingly well yet is easy to get into and out of....and yeah bolts straight in so no dramas.....fifteen mins and I was done (with the fitting it in I mean)

HOWEVER.........................................being anywhere between 15 to 20 years old these things can get a bit "rugged, tired, worn" etc.

Started off with something like this..............(didnt take a picture so stole one off the internet)

post-56395-12542068927953_thumb.jpg

Took the old seat out (remembered to take off the seatbelt sensor plug)

20120912_103343.jpg

Then "attempted" to put the old leather covers on..............

For those of you who have seen a GTR and a GTST seat you will know that while they are similar in design the top bit is totally different.....the GTST having a separate head rest.

Time for some innovation...

There was no way I was going to leave it like this.........................so I put on my thinking cap and called in backup

      Rb25det Belts Change

      By silviaz · Posted

      I just checked my belt, it wasn't super loose but I could bend it past 90 degrees a small amount so I tightened it up and for the first time ever my car didn't crank first time, had to crank it again lol. Don't know if that was because I tightened the belt or if it's my starter motor going out (been having slow starts for some time). Coulda also been when I was recording I didn't crank the key properly and it didn't save the recording lol.   Is that a thing if you overtighten a belt it struggles to start?

      My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!

      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.
