hey dudes, i am a bit of a lurker around here, so i thought i better put up my own car. i apologise in advance for some of the photo's. some are good. some not so much. well actually if we are being honest im have 4 weeks off work due to injury and am crazy bored haha.

i am coming up on 2 years off ownership next month. when i first got it :

i just fiddle for the first months and loved the shit out of driving it

then i did a drift day :

loved it. car was awesome and i didnt break anything.

by this point, i'd put 14/12kg springs and lowered it and all that jazzz, i had a fun day but the car sorta lost that feel that it had. oh yeah i also did this

spun on the entry, and as you can see went backwards in the wall. its kinda hard to explain the damage, but basically the wheel caught on the wall snapping the lca and doing a number on the front corner.

fast forward a long long long 12 months and it got a new turbo and 25 box and some other basics

had the best time, wasnt without issue though, broke a drive shaft on the drive to the start line in the morning missing the whole morning session waiting for a mate to bring out a replacement. but after that it was on

i dont have any photos of the this, but basically the night before i decided i want to have a crack! changed nothing at all, so still not front sway bar and mismatched 2ndhandies on the back. i had a fair bit of fun and ended up with a 67 flat around there. we didnt get a whole lot of laps which was a bit shit in the end.

around this time i changed the vskf's for a all time favourite wheel of mine

    • From what I've seen and experienced first hand with those powder extinguishers, they're good to use to break a window and escape the car, and half the time then do f**k all to stop a fire. You just need much more than 1KG worth of powder. Not to mention, half the time it's an engine bay fire, and you can't easily, and do not want to completely open the bonnet, so you're left pretending to be an American Infantry... Spray and Pray baby!   And then 100% that shit is really destructive afterwards!   Realistically, those little ones at a race track might help you keep the fire from growing and give the fire marshal / truck a chance to actually get to you with their multiple large bottles.   For a road car, these days, prepare to deboard as quickly as humanly possible, and move to safety. Allow insurance to fix replace it (unless it's like a rare classic etc, then do nearly everything possible to save it!) Keep the little extinguisher with you to help protect other things around you from burning while you stand there singing "How can we sleep while our beds are burning?"   Secondly, powder extinguishers I freaking hate for indoor use, (this isn't really relevant to a car) as you will get a powder fog around you, and it can be disorientating.   When I did fire training when at BlueScope Steel, they have (had?) their own fire brigade on site. We did all the training, and at the end we were told, "If it's an indoor fire, and you need to use a powder extinguisher, we as the fire brigade would rather you just exit the building, you're more likely to get lost in the smoke and powder fog than do much help, so just GTFO" And pretty much that was what they said for most other fires too, grab extinguisher, if it's much more than paper in a bin fire, use extinguisher to get you and others out of the building to safety...   Part of me wishes when my Skyline caught alight many moons ago, I let insurance sort it out, instead of putting the fire out... part of me now says "But I've saved a classic before it was a classic!"
    • Hi all,  I have a older model of the Greddy Front facing intake on an RB25DET NEO Head. I've bought aeroflows fuel rail and injector kit (1000cc Bosche injectors) and I'm unsure if the fitment is correct. The injector o-rings fit in the intake hole but it's not snug. I can very easily rotate the injectors even when the fuel rail is mounted. The kit also came with multiple adaptors, they dont make it any more snug and using them raises the injectors up and i cant mount the fuel rail. I hope this makes sense I've asses a few photos.    Thanks so much guys. 
    • So, to run the 4g aerials to the booster, I had to get access to the rear bulkhead....bit of a mission. Hot tip, don't offer to help change the rear shocks for a mate with a v37.... Remove seat base, 2 clips that slide forward to release it the it lifts straight out Fold down rear seat (pull in from boot) The side bolster of the rear seat is not connected to the middle parts that fold. To remove unbolt at the bottom bolt then push it up off the top hook Then there is a plastic surround behind the seat back, 2 pop out clips, 2 bastard clips, some swearing at it is out Pop the rear seat latch surround off Remove door surround lower trim then side trim  Remove c pillar trim - 4 clips, pull inwards not forwards Remove metal brace - 5 bolts 1 nut Then you have got to the rear strut top...what a pain!
    • If you really want squish back, you can have it put on the piston (at least to some extent).
    • Impressive. He's very very smooth.
