That is absolute robbery. :O

I paid $550 for mine in VIC and thought that was steep for something which does nothing. No yearly subscription like in NSW either..

$220 per year for mine, [ IDDQD ]  i guess its cheap if your keeping it for over 10 years

$550 is noice though

Got off my ass today after work and decided to throw the new rad in. Little bit of fkin around but not too bad. Was mainly because I couldn't see much once the sun went down..... Keen to see how this goes. Will be changing the radiator cap to a Tridon 1.1 bar some time shortly as well.

Car was running weird af after my radiator change, so just decided to rewire my fuel pump to see if that was a cause. Did that today and she seems to be running sweet! Still hunts on idle every now and then which sucks ....

Started running like shit again on saturday night, sputtering and carrying on. Checked it all yesterday and found my battery was only getting 12.8v @2k rpm. Threw a new alternator in and good to go, 14.1v at idle. Took her for a drive, drives mint again. 

All my stuff from Jesse streeter has been ordered now, cams aren't in stock again till later this month so will be waiting a little on those. But my stubs and headgasket are getting sent off shortly :)

Should be sweet when its all in. Im planning on getting an eliminator kit, just heard the balljoint is a pain to press out.

Which eliminator kit did you get?

Thread hijack, I bought one of the eBay ball joint presses like Johnny used on his post here http://www.trak-life.com/diy-hicas-delete-hicas-eliminator-kit/
Chucked my AEG battery impact on the back of it after cutting the faces of the ball joints flat and out they came. Total of 20 mins a side including cutting - Had more issues with my camber arms than the elimination kit. If you need more details send me a PM and I can help.

Cheers for that man, very helpful. Im gonna order the ball joint press and hicas eliminator kit soon.

Drags didn't go so well, was ford and holden night so packed. Only got 3 runs in so didn't really get to figure out whats good and whats not with the launch control. End up running 12.5, 12.7, 12.7, far from my PB 12.1. Can't hook up off the line, needa get that diff and subframe bushes in asap! 

Picked up these bride reps today for a reasonable price. Gave them a quick clean and threw em in. Almost full racecar spec now :P

HG and stubs have been shipped from Jesse, should be here next week sometime :D Also ordered a ball joint press kit off ebay to do my hicas eliminator kit (thanks for the tips kingtube), expecting that next week as well. Will replace my front tie rods as well and get a wheel alignment. Anyone have any alignment recommendations for a street car?

I decided that I only want to pull the rear end apart once, so may as well do it properly. Bought Whiteline subframe bushes, Superpro front and rear diff bushes and traction rods as well as my hicas eliminator kit that will all go in at the same time as the diff. 
Ordered valve springs from Goleby's as they had them instock and not to mention $50 cheaper! Should be here this week along with my traction rods. Cams arrived at Jesse Streeter yesterday so they will be sent out today/tomorrow with arrival next week sometime. All coming together now :D

Forgot to add these vids from Roll Racing the other night. Always have a ball out there. Mate rode out to watch so I told him to get a passenger pass and ill take him for a spin. Only got 3 watchable vids from the runs. Need to find my cam so I can start recording myself.

    • Updated with the latest <68mm Xona Rotor turbos.  The two XRA options are on paper some of the compressor performance I've seen 
    • You see R34 GTRs listed for 200-300k are they really selling for these prices? Kinda seems like the same ones listed all the time. Even with R33 GTSTs looking at gumtree. You have an auto with a bitsa interior for 35k. Another one needs an engine rebuild and asking 24k. And then you have a stock in better than average condition for 45k. Nobody is ever going to pay these prices.
    • Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆
    • Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
    • Can try Maxima. Or random Infiniti models from the same era. Good luck with your hunt, let us know what you find!
