Well, yesterdya, after many months of waiting, i took delivery of my car fom the docks...

After waiting there for hours cause their computers were down! I finally had the keys... you shoulda seen how fast i ran to the car!

I opened the door, and got in, shaking with excitment. No idea what to do first... start it, look under the hood?

First thing i noticed, was, AVCR stolen :)..

Started it perfect first go, jumped out, popped the hood, all looked how it was meant to, got in, drove out..

The security guy who gave me the past out signalled me to smoke em, so, ofcourse i did... 2nd gear sideays. Shaking harder than ever, heart punding harder than ever, and something else was harder than ever ;)

Get to the front gate, in hysterics. Quickly get my licence back, my dad is like ?WOW! jumps in.

He says, now take it over and park it. i say.. like ****! im driving it.

Take it out on the straight at the front, and flatten it, 1st spins and 2nd is slammed in like 2 seconds, still smoking, sideways past all the truckies.. snap 3rd, still spinning. i freak out a bit thinking, i dont want to stack here. i have no insurance!

the look on my dads face, who drives a HSV Clubsport with 240 odd rwkw, and says "F**k... are skylines meant to be this fast?!" hehehe...

Anyway, just thought id show you all, and tell you that its mental fast. its running 1 bar (14psi) off a hks actuator, off a nissan turbo, bigger than standard tho. With teh AVCR, im guessing it woulda been maybe 18psi? anyway, now all i have to do is work out what is done to it.

The suspension and driveline setup is mental. its tight as and goes where you point it. front and rear swaybars and strut braces, HKS coilovers, and 2way lsd (that works!)

Shes at Carizma now being complied. omg i cant wait. They say they will start work on tuesday.. should be about 2 weeks from now.

Here is the beasty...

(i dont know what the (SAM) sticker is, but ive decided, thats my cars name, hehehe)

    • I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.
    • I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.
    • It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...
    • I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate
    • Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
