Trailers, mmm I think we will build one, see exact costing and go from there. I only want a very very basic one. No tyre rack etc. Will be around end of the year I reckon before we look at building on

Thinking about pulling the 25 head off and fitting a 26.

i know you have probably already decided to go for it but the 26 head would be a far better option. the sound of the 6 throttles is nice to.

could you please PM me a price for the Greddy manifold throttle body and possibly tomei cams? for a friend that is.

thanks damo

Damage. The front left guard was also buggered and got replaced before the respray

Tinted taillights, damage repaired. Front and rar guards rolled. Rear guards flared a smidge, and also the line that usually sits around the arch taken out. (Still in the front guards)

well, after examining the exhaust manifold on the weekend i noticed 2 snapped studs on cyl 6 so decided to take the whole manifold off.. in the end 3 more studs snapped :) so have a total of 5 snapped studs and 7 in ok condition. Will be getting a local guy to drill/ease out the snapped ones and get new studs and gasket in :down:

Make sure you change the remaining seven studs, there would be nothing worse than breaking one on assembly (can happen) or poping one a couple of weeks later :)

Where are you getting your bits from? The best place I found was Nissan, I brought new studs, nuts and gasket when I did mine. The manifold studs are an odd length and nissan appears to be the only place that has the right length. :D

      Calling all audiophiles

      I'll snap up some photos when I'm back home, in the office today meeting my "in the office" quota. Have 2x Teams calls scheduled in, office culture they reckon.   I've never owned a proper off the shelf sub, I've always made or modified broken ones with Jaycar plate amps and/or car subwoofer drivers. The current (and broken) subwoofer has a proper home driver in it, Dayton driver, thos one https://www.daytonaudio.com/product/118/rss265hf-4-10-reference-hf-subwoofer-4-ohm FS of 25Hz, which is low but not low enough. Yeah, I think they were brought out to the market to compete with SVS. I would love a SVS PB-3000 but they're not cheap, especially after their price hike. From reviews online, it does look like the Tonewinner D6000 would destroy and with good amount of money saved too.

      yeah, that happens too.  I'm really enjoying 4WDing at the moment, seen a few beautiful spots and want to go explore more of this enormous country.  The 370Z got a clutch LSD in it and a track day, great fun.  Getting the back end sorted out really rejuvenated my enthusiasm for driving it hard, the viscous one is poo especially in such a short and wide chassis.  The VLSD unpredictability was more benign in a long and skinny Skyline.

      With my pre/power I use a remote trigger cable(3.5mm jack each end). I turn tv on, it turns both on via ARC. Or, just the pre with the remote or its streaming software, turns on both. Not that difficult at all. Obviously,  you would also want to actually update/upgrade over other factors in your life(bills, family, other hobbies, etc)

      Yeah, nightfall was very "meh". And I'm crap at pvp, so feels like everyone has cheats(it's just my lack of skill). Final shape has been pretty good. New raid and dungeon are pretty good. If you want to give it a go, probably wait until it's on sale. But, as usual, most of it feels very familiar.

      This morning was Kingswood's Microscopic Wars. It is the album's 10 year anniversary this year and we went to see them play the whole album as a special show a couple of months back. Was pretty spectacular.
