Yep. I need to do some driving this weekend to use my fuel up, want fresh fuel for next weekend.

Will take some if I pull them out to put them in. They're all boxed and wrapped up. Brand new and perfect though.

Next thing I need to buy for the interior is these as mine are well f**ked! http://www.kudosmotorsports.com/catalog/genuine-nissan-pitwork-cpillar-interior-trim-set-nissan-skyline-r32-gtr-gts-gts25-gts4-gtst-door-p-1557.html

Yeah i need to buy a set of those as well.

The GTR will be coming off the road next year for quite a while (probably the whole year) so im doing the interior then.

Why don't you buy ( you might already have??) a fuel tank drain kit kat? So you don't waste fuel for the sake of it, drain it and stick it in the tow mobile.

Driving the GTR to empty $40 fuel out of it is hardly a chore.... lol

Usually I'd drive the GTR to the event using the fuel I wanted gone then stick fresh stuff in it but this time it's going up on the trailer.

And so the Trailer life commences......

$40 worth of fuel. Suppose, thats 10 minutes worth

It's just too much of a pain in the ass to worry about breaking it.

At Cootamundra this year after I did the transfer case I took it a lot easier than normal cause in the back of my mind I always think how i want to drive it home.

Tempted to drive it but I'd rather travel up with Pete rather than having to take 2 cars.

Rain gods were kind! Gated all around town! Supplies gathered (plugs, oil filter, power steering belt), errands run!

Got stalked out in Fyshwick by a random tradie that followed me to Motor Spares!! He seemed harmless but was a little scary!!

Hmmm might need to dig out my rattle gun or wait for Pete to get home...My girl hands can't get my seat bolts out and I have a nice bruise forming and scrape on my arm courtesy of the GTR...

Funny... The hard one to get out went straight back in easy and the easy one to get out is now being a bitch to get back in.

I don't have much patience I can see why I usually pay to get shit done!

probably telling you how to suck eggs, but make sure you don't crossthread it.

Haha very wary of crossthreading, all good!

But yes, my delicate hands were not made to work on the GTR. I have 2 small grazes, a bump on my arm and a small chunk of skin missing from my finger but GTR now has fire extinguisher!!

Busy with the charade.

New shocks installed. New pads installed. Tranny oil. Degreased engine bay and searched for source of oil leak but can't see anything yet.

I feel like I need a bucket seat with this car haha. So much body roll!

Time for rego inspection :)

Mad! Busy People gettin' busy. :thumbsup:

Funny you should say that about body roll Chris, surprisingly little in the SkyHatch, even with what I suspect are the 24 year old stock shocks. :D

Reset the ECU lastnite, drove to work and back and checked for Fault Codes this arvo. ALL is GOOD!

Redid the positive battery terminal connections and now I can fit the insulation cover dealy over it properly.

Removed the remaining rego sticker.

Might go the Vac, Wash n Polish tomorrow.

Edit* May have gotten myself a secondhand Haynes Manual for cheaps too. ;)

:( Think I'll have to get myself some lower springs ;)

That's my plan too.

Paint job on the car is a bit strange. Looks good/original in some spots and some spots are patchy and look like they've had a dodgy repeat.

We'll see how she comes up :)

      If doing that ^, I'd take the idle up valve out and plug the hole in the pump.

      You can try capping the power steering idle up valve at both ends if it's old. The valve and the intake manifold. That is something that is known to fail in Toyotas with age and it will suck power steering fluid into the intake and burn it in the engine which can cause issues. Then bleed it again with engine off first. Do like 30+ lock to lock turns with the front wheels off the ground.

      Update:   smoke test all pipes no issues cleaned reservoir   fluid put in ( dexron 3 atf)   steering turn side to side and could hearing  gurgling from steering rack which I assumed was air lock, opened one of the steering rack connections and could see loads of air getting pushed out( not sure if you meant to do that / whether it will re introduce air into system)   anyways, loads of side to side sound was gone. Turned car on, pump was slightly ( barely) wining so turned side to side few more turns and fluid level when car on was almost none in resorvoir which I guess is normal if car is one. Turned car of and fluid was gushing out. Almost 200-300cc was pushed out. Repeated engine off side to side followed  by engine on and same result       going mad now. It seems system is either sucking air in whilst on or there is tons of air which I am not giving it enough time to bleed. Thoughts?   would it work like brake caliper if I open steering rack copper pipes and let gravity pull all air out?   or maybe have a restriction somewhere? What is the red circled item, could that be blocked? It i
