I have some pressure on my right eye, went to church as usual feeling a little dizzy and tired and time with my daughter makes me cry .. Wish it was a dream but I know it's real I can feel it more and more which proves my theory that sometimes not knowing is a good thing cause now I know I'm certain my body will remind me every chance it gets! Thanks for asking mate I really appreciate it

Hey Scott ,

I am sorry to hear of your painful news , i would'nt imagine what you would be feeling right now , nor would i know what to say to a fellow member . The little i will say is keep your head under that bonnet and have your little girl beside you, keeping your mind focused on the things you love . I will pray to the man upstairs for you, and you will be in my thoughts . All the Best man , you will get through it :)

Your faith in God, Jesus and the Spirit will help you become stronger than you ever thought you would Scott.

Some others on this thread are Christian too, and they're praying. In a prayer chain, we're praying.

In one 10 year period our family was stricken with...

a) one son getting a jaw tumour

b) another son dying

c) my wife contracting 2 types of breast cancer.

During these adversities, we get closer to God - or further away.

We were each forced to make a choice...

I posted up that you're on a journey.

Our journeys continue on my friend!

Your empathy is appreciated Scott.

Faith has helped me throughout. Of course it'll help you through too. No matter what you read about gliomas; whether you're focused on Body, Mind or Spirit, faith will help you through too.

I hope your folks, your wife and your daughter can cope, since they're going through a journey too: each and every one.

I've heard it said on SAU that one would give his left testicle to have a GTR. I understand that. But after experiencing illness and death at close quarters; I'd in the blink of an eye, give away my cars to have good health and life in my family once again. But I know God has a greater purpose.

See! You're a very loving man yourself; that in your hour of need, you found time to empathise with my predicament. I sincerely admire that!!!

I met my wife a little over. Year ago it's a real love story then we had Jessica no this but every week we go to church and pray every day together I know god has a plan it's not revealed yet but it will be great I know it

Hi Scott

Sorry to hear the bad news, i lost my grandmother last year and its a terrible thing to go through. Im not a religious man at all really but regardless i agree with what everyone is saying here, keep doing the things u love dont let it stop you, because in the end enjoying ur self and being in the company of great friends and family and driving GTR's this is what life is about. After i lost my nan the way i see things now is to enjoy every moment that i have and to make the most of the opportunities.

Hi Scott,

Just read through your thread.

Sad to hear about your situation. I think members have already said what I am about to say. But the best thing to do is keep positive and do the things you love doing whether it be working on your car, spending time with your wife or just having plain old fun.

The medical world these days and technology has come a very long way and treatment in Australia for such things is excellent.

I do wish you all the very best and by all means, you are going to finish completing your engine build :thumbsup:

Cheers,

Anthony

Hey Scott,

Just keep doing what you're doing and try to stay positive.

It's not always the easiest thing but as you can see there are many people here behind you and supporting you!

So all the best!

    • No worries at all 🫡 I think the most satisfying things to make are the little bits that are just impossible to find or they're no longer manufactured. Generally I always try to replace parts with OEM wherever possible. This little project is also great because it'll never see the light of day, but strengthen these brackets so it's not just relying on the little standard screws in the headlight plastic. As soon as I saw the standard brackets and screws I thought, "well I'm not going to install with just the screws, the plastic tabs will just snap off". It's crazy how expensive everything has become yeah. But I suppose that's supply and demand; granted it's a lot easier to get brand new genuine parts these days which is fantastic 😊, I don't have to get totally reamed at the local Nissan dealer ha ha We sure are lucky we have all these manufacturers making parts these days, a few really great Australian companies too like Platinum Racing Products and Fit Mint Automotive, what a time to be alive ❤️ . I've got my eye on the RB26 head by PRP as mine has a very fine hairline crack, so that'll need to be addressed some time in the future. If you have any requests or odd things to make feel free to let me know and I can have a crack at making replacement parts ✌️
    • Thanks for sharing this, and BTW if your headlights are in good condition they are worth thousands....you might want to consider replacing them with brand new LED ones like this (https://www.nengun.com/78works/full-led-headlights-r32-skyline) and making enough profit to buy a house in Sydney
    • I'm not sure what sort of shops are nearby, but I'd expect any reasonable exhaust shop could put a cat in it that will not restrict the power that engine makes. Otherwise, if you want to remove it, short lengths that replace the cat are readily available online, search for "de-cat pipes" or "test pipes"  
    • Howdy friends, So another weird one today, I was looking into replacing some broken clips holding the front grille for the R32 GTR (part number 01553-03831), and noticed the brackets which are supposed to hold the grille in place were also missing 😑. I do recall seeing this issue many years ago, but didn't fix it at the time. A quick look on eBay and I was able to find the genuine brackets, along with all the screws which suited the headlights (part numbers 26042-08U05,26092-08U05). Happy days!....  Once they arrived however there was an extra nut in the packaging which implied that there should also be a bolt or a stud, and sure enough, after a bit of searching I found this thread from 2013, and @Ants clearly shows a stud should be present. Reading around a bit more, it's possible the headlights on my car are the "povo pack" headlights as mentioned by @funkymonkey in this thread way back in 2008. This could explain why the studs are missing on my set of headlights. Looking at the headlight diagram I wasn't able to see a suitable part number for the stud itself. The headlight did indeed have a recess that looked like it would accept a stud, but interestingly no thread or anything obvious how the stud would be affixed to the headlight, I suspect it may have been glued in, press fit, or melted into the plastic at the factory. Another member may be able to clarify if they happen to have a genuine set of N1 headlamps. The only thing we have to work with within the recess is a keyway which likely is there to prevent the stud from rotating within the recess. In any case, back to 3D printing, I put together a model which acts like a pug with a friction fit inside this recess, making use of the keyway so it doesn't rotate while tightening a bolt. Printing in TPU will allow it to slightly swell making a nice snug fit without cracking the part. I've designed the adaptor it to accept an 20 mm M6 bolt (stainless with a cap head in my case), as opposed to the standard M5 stud and I made use of the standard galvanised split washer that came with the genuine brackets from Nissan. Once the bolt and screws were all in place, giving the bracket a gentle shake gave the classic "shaking the car" feeling, very solid, which gives me confidence this is going to be able to hold on much better than the janky solution which seems to have been here for the past decade or so. Overall I'm really pleased with how this turned out and maybe there are more people out there running these headlights without a centre stud at all!

    • Hey everyone, This is my first post apart of the introduction. I tried searching a bit on the forum but couldn't really get a straight answer. I got the car to my mechanic as I felt it being weak. It seems that it was missing on two cylinders due to the injectors. I had all my injectors clean and the car runs much better. The mechanic also confirmed my suspicions that the cat is clogged and needs to be tackled asap. The cat rattles a bit and the hot exhaust warning frequently lights up when driving after getting the injectors clean. In my introduction I was asked about what modification I might be interested in and mentioned a cat delete. From what I was told, this is not really beneficial on the RB20DE and there are more cons than pros.  Could perhaps anyone give some suggestions on what the best course of action would be since the current cat is toast and needs to be removed/replaced anyway? I can also sometimes smell a strong smell of fuel, but I'm not sure if this is related.
