I envy how much land you have and your shed 😊

Yeah country life is the bomb!  I paid $152000 for this block 10 years ago....  2800 square metres which is not huge but plenty for me!  The shed is the first thing I built!  Number one requirement of moving back to the country from Melbourne was a decent shed.  Priorities! :)

I'm enjoying these updates! I don't think I'll ever own a pool so I'm living vicariously through your thread.

And that is one super cute puppy!

Didn't think I ever would to be honest!  Can't wait till summer to finally get some enjoyment out of it after slaving away for the last few months and slopping around in mud!  I've destroyed my body in the process (2 X hernias, ankle is rooted, tweaked my back, etc, etc).  I think it was worth it....

Yeah Ollie (dog) is a bloody legend!  Groodles (Golden Retriever / Standard (tall) Poodle) are an awesome breed.  Don't moult fur, awesome demeanour (super affectionate but good guard dog) and due to their super soft coat they're really nice, soft and fluffy dog to pat.  They do need trimming twice a year and need a bath every now and then as because they don't moult they can get a bit gamey!  Awesome with the kids too.  They dress him up and do all sorts of weird shit to him! 🤣  He just lies of the floor and gives them cuddles.  Loves, no DEMANDS a bloody pat, jesus he's a clinger....  

Other than that, amazingly loyal, affectionate dog!  We'll get another one soon.

I don't think we are too far apart in age!

However hats off to you sir, I would have just paid someone these days. Heck, I paid someone to put a motor into my car because I CBF.

I'm 45, feeling 65 at the moment....

Unfortunately my Dutchness has not yet eroded to the point where I'm capable of paying any one, to do any thing!

I'm hoping the Dutchness starts to wear off more quickly now!  Says the guy that just ordered the dearest and most difficult exhaust material in the world to weld properly....

No photo description available.

I need that shed in my life, all I could fit in my yard was a 6 x 3, it’s nice, but not big enough. 
and I got a 22 year old son that’s also into cars, so I got his shit as well as mine. 
we just installed billet drive shafts into his turbo BRZ. So tomorrow he can help me get the dash pad out of the GTR

Problem with a big shed is you accumulate a LOT of shit. I keep building add ons to my shed to fit more shit...

Main shed is 14x8m, then I added another 3x8m to the right of it.  Then I built another shed down the side of the house for the mower and garden shit, it's about 4x4m.  Then I built another shed off the back of the main shed for concrete mixer, Kubota tractor, rotary hie, etc and its another 11x2.5m.  I've got a lot of sheds on my place....

Can never have too many however! 

Awesome that you can work with your son on cars! Hopefully I trust mine enough one day!

Ha ha, yeah maybe!  I’d rather my kid be into cars than sucking on the glass BBQ!  As they say, if you’re into cars you don’t have any money left for drugs!

My 12 year old son is only just starting to show a bit of interest in my car recently. He loves it when I bring fast Audis home from work but hadn’t really cared about the GTR till recently. A few years ago I took him for a few (brisk…) rides in an RSQ8 we had on loan from Audi head office and since then he’s hooked on speed!  The good speed….

    • loved seeing the zenvo on the a1 just after the hatfield tunnel i was the guy in the white van trying to egg you on it sounded awesome and those exhausts glowing red inside insane cheers for the thumbs up tim and tom.
    • So.... when I'm finally getting around to having my power steering leak sorted, now it looks like I've got the same issue most A/T Skylines are having. My A/T light will randomly come on and I'm stuck in 3rd gear until I turn the car off and on again. Only 3 weeks ago I did a complete transmission service: Oil flush + new gasket + new filter. This came out of nowhere!! It wasn't like the car was driven hard. I drove about 3 mins down the road to get fuel and boom!!!  Anyway, I have a few questions and hope you fine people can help me out here. All questions are in red. 1. The solenoids: I was looking at the parts catalogue in Amayama and I could only find the Solenoids as an assembly. https://www.amayama.com/en/part/nissan/319404ax05 I read in another thread that Solenoid A = 31940-4AX02 & Solenoid B = 31940-4AX05 but the Amayama product has only the code of B. Is this the right part? Can anyone who has done the Solenoid changes or seen them confirm if this is the complete set of A & B?   2. Gasket and Filter: I'm not going to try change the solenoids myself because it seems difficult to do in a home garage with just 2 jack stands. I plan to take it to a shop and get it changed. I was also going to buy the transmission sump gasket at the same time so I don't reuse the same gasket. Should I just use the existing gasket as it has only been on the car since OCT 19th? (~3 weeks) Should I be buying a brand-new gasket and a filter? Does this job involve taking the filter out?   Thanks in advance to everyone. It's hard to find a video of someone doing a solenoid change on a R34 so any help you can give answering my remaining questions would make me less stressed.
    • Yea - From what I have seen from the video, the car idles like any R34 lol 50PSI of fuel pressure is hardly super abnormal, the regulator is working because the pressure remains static when the throttle gets revved, i.e pressure remains the same when manifold vaccuum changes. Bigger pumps on stock rails always bumped the pressure in the rail without using an aftermarket regulator to change that. Do you know what your IAC is actually doing? Has there been any data showing the stepper motor % etc? There's no way your idle is actually moving around the way the cluster(s) are indicating. You would hear the difference with the engine RPM flying to 3k and 1k in mere seconds. I'd be checking the wiring to the tacho. What the tacho is telling you and what the engine/ecu is telling you are different things. I assume your ECU doesn't display the spike. So whatever is telling the tacho to be at X rpm is doing something weird. When the going gets insane, you're on the wrong path. You've ruled out plenty of things that are working correctly/aren't the issue. Your idle isn't doing what the tacho is indicating. You have two seperate issues, I don't think they are linked, and the idle seems reasonably okay unless it's stalling which.. well, it hasn't. Troubleshoot the stall if it occurs by figuring out what your IAC is doing vs what it is being told to do.
    • So awesome! I love the RB with the exhaust on display.
