I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

In addition to drinking my body weight in fine German beer, I got to let the old girl stretch her legs with two great drives:

First drive from my sister's place to my parents' on Christmas Eve: Link.

This route I did along with my uncle in his Mk5 Golf R32. It did take us about 6 hours, but that was with about an hour lunch stop. The R32 lost me for a section on glorious when it was wet, but in the dry I could keep up and on good surfaces I could eat him up. He was quite impressed with the 'old datsun'.

On the way home (boxing day) I went this way: Link.

I was on my own this time, and it took about 3 hours (no stops). Unfortunately it started pissing down rain as I approached nebo and it was foggy as hell, so this was a very slow section. But otherwise, another top drive.

All lives, vehicles, and licences remain intact, and most of the cargo as well (there were a couple of casualties though :D). And best of all - no traffic! Sif take the highway.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
