I was supposed to be back in Melbourne last week, but work commitment forced me to stay like 5 months longer here!!! I missed my car badly!

And there is no decent Skyline over here... There is a 1000BHP R34 GT-R, but I've never seen it on the street! And the one I saw was a V-Spec II, but the owner don't have the faintest clue what he got! And he's an arrogant dickhead, too!

A couple of GT-t, but they are all done up for shows... What's happening here??? Don't anybody understand what Skyline is all about??? I need help... or THEY NEED HELP???

Ahhh there you are mein freund. Yes it's understandable some skyline owners don't know what they've got 'cept for the fact that they own a skyline cos it's so darn cool. Yeah it is cool, but it's more then that!

Ran into this HK guy who didn't even know his GTST was turbocharged. Even with the glaring 'Turbo' words emblazoned in his engine bay.

Crikey, 5 more months?! Hmmm, I volunteer to take care of your care while you're away :P

Ah, yes! I'm in Jakarta, Indonesia, by the way... It's really sad to know that they don't even know a GTS-t is turbocharged. How ignorance can they get?

Probably the constant heat in the region don't attract that many followers for the Skylines... It's humid, too! I don't know, is humidity should be an advantage or disadvantage for a turbo car?

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
