CLASSIC! I like your sense of humor.

Alrighty heres where I stand, ive managed to get this far:

post-25682-1148370768.jpg

Ive replaced the studs and at the stage of attaching the clover disk to the drive shaft. Everytime I push it in the shaft back slides back in. Im not to comfortable beating the crap out of it now. So im hoping to grab some advice of some people who have done this before.

Any advice would be good. Im about to cry as it has taken me a week to get this far.

LOL damn man sorry to hear bout that, that thing looks awesome.

BUT, the same thing happen to me and a friend on a go-kart, he was driving along and the wheel just flew off and i was chasing it.

would have been funny to see it happen to a car.

once again though, sorry! lol

At the time it wasn't so humerous but now i look back on it I see it as an omen and have a good chuckle over it.

I found a few things that definitely need looking into. At present it still has only 3 wheels but i have sourced a hub for $150 so I will get that fitted this week sometime.

Tomorrow I will order the custom carpet and roof lining which should be ready by the weekend. After that its a full service and tune then registration time.

After rego comes the paint touch up and she will be ready for show and tell.

How much is the custom carpet and roof lining. When u say carpet, it's not the floor mats right? It's the whole bottom end.

Cheers! =)

Full bottom homie.

Dunno how much its worth find out tomorrow when I meet the guy. I hear there is a guy in Cannington that is the shizzle for this. Hopefully he can whip up one in Calsonic Blue for me.

sorry to hijack, how much did it cost to send it from the eastern states. I am thinking about buying a skyline in melbourne. did the seller handle the arrangements to get it transported or did you do it from perth?

also i noticed ur car is quite low, any transport damage? the car i am thinking of getting has a bodykit.

Sup,

Hijack away. I went through Patricks Autocare and it cost me a little over 1400 to get it here. I went on word of mouth rather than what was the cheapest as i didn't want anything to happen to he car. If i had to do it again i would probably use someone else.

As for damage, from what I can see, there was none caused by the transport company. Just make sure you document eveything when it is recieved so when it gets here no yobbo has ganked your hard earned gauges/wheels/girlfriend.

As for the ride height, with the front bar fitted the car sits around 6cm from the ground. If you get one with a kit I would strongly advise having the front bumper taken off before transporting.

    • For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?
    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
