    Don’t you just love when this happens! 
    It was my fault, I shouldn’t carry cash in my wallet, the car can smell it! 
    looks like the lift pump died, at least it was on the way to the mechanic ?

    shout out to Mick from Micks Towing, you’re a lifesaver, top bloke, great service and fair price.

    Legit, GTRs spend half their life being transported to mechanics...

    Poor timing though. If only it had made it 99% of the way. You could have parked it, dropped the keys off then casually mentioned, by the way it doesn't run now.

    Hopefully it's just a replacement for you. Better to happen now than while you're out blasting around in the hills.

    Yeah. I have times when I just up and leave the project for an hour/day whatever it might be. Especially if i am stuck. I find that ignoring it completely will make me want to go back out and give it another go after a little time has passed.

    There are times when I will work through a problem by slowing down and looking at the issue one small bit at a time and sometimes it's a case of head inside, ignore or youtube it and then go back for another crack.

    I often find I will jump from car stuff to artwork to xbox so as not to get bored with any one thing.

    It is for sale. 1k is a bit low for me though, but PM me if you're keen still. Happy to work something out. (i bought it for 6k, it's up for 5k).
    It's a 2.0L Turbo. AWD, 5 Speed Manual.

    Yeaaaaahh. So it's actually a 1.8 T (sigh...) be helpful if I knew what I had I suppose. :D

    the sweet embrace of the more mature car audience.. ahhh

    Ummm, mature... sure, why not? ?

    What an excellent write up. I didn't even have to ask for pictures!!! Can't wait to hear more from you. 
    I also feel you on that growing up, buying a more mature car, then ditching it. My "mature moment" lasted two years. Something about old Nissan's brings you back round again. :)

    Well after pulling plenum, turbo and exhaust manifold I finally found the problem. See if you notice it.

    Looks good to me. Try a full reboot then unistall and reinstall it and update the driver. Should be fine.

    He he yep I did a search and this thread came up.

    You did a search? No one searches... Cue: the same question over and over... :D

    I must say, i'm very spoiled being in Melbourne. There's United E85 dotted around in most locations. I feel bad for the rest of the country though... :( Good thing too my range is about 150km.

    The GTS4 with a 26 is close enough for me.

    Sweet car and build so far.
     You'll find that if you drive your car even slightly hard, this will also perform at the same level as a GTR driven by some other owner. I consistently have guys up my chuff in GTSTs. When I ask how, they say... i dunno, i just threw it in and it stuck. 

    Non GTR skyline owners are some of the maddest, most capable, most lose units out there and can show up a GTR cause they're not afraid to bin it... (no offence, not saying that's you).

    Tipping maybe some of this forum too(said the least mechanical person ever).

    Not 100% decided on which turbo route I want to take yet.

    This argument rages on to this day here... just ask away. Plenty of people with opinion's here! :)

    Been a bit slack with the car sorry been doing home Renos

    This is the opposite of slack. Renos are the worst. They're great fun and so exciting for the first hour. Then once the destruction phase is over... boooo!
