Nissan a r382 race car from the late 60s :)

Tough bit of kit: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nissan_R382

they turbo'd them the next year for 900hp, but didn't race that one much due to the series folding.

Ants, the loaded accountant! Although, 1100 a week after tax isn't really a lot. :/

like I said before for over half my career I was on lots less than that and managed fine. It's also the right around the average wage. That said I don't spend a whole lot on booze or going out ect which can mount up real fast.

Wish I was loaded.......but I'm not. Before I had a mortgage and more importantly a family of my own I was like you Bunta and pretty much laughing all the way to the bank. And that was on almost half the income I am earning today. Now we are on a tighter budget but confortable but only just. Gone are the days were you could just live on one income stream when raising a young family.

Anyways enough of that. I left my wallet at Bunnings (again) and just managed to get it back! I can't be that intelligent to do this three times now!

Once Anna gets a job we will be laughing all the way to the bank. As of now is just comfortable. I am lucky in that at the end of the day I don't need to worry too much about the future so thats good.

Stop leaving your wallet ya silly bugger!

Back when i was a kid, my mum left her purse on the roof of the car on the way to a place on the other side of town. It managed to stay on the roof all the way through town (must have looked a sight!) only to fall off out the other side where the road got up to 100k's. luckily someone who lived there found it and gave it back (minus cash though... but to be fair kids could have found it and stripped it before they did). Certainly wouldn't get that in the city.

Good morning Luke.

$250 to save up for things? That's just if things were to remain the same...... you know thats not going to happen man. But trust me when i say this, when you have a family and own a GTR, EVERYTHING changes and is MUCH more expensive and $1150 will soon feel like $150!

So there you go........now when are we gonna see some baby Luke's :P

250 more then I have at the moment.

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
