Lost my job, lost cylinder #2, semi lost my "new mrs", so time for the car to go too(cancer is next i bet :) ). Can't afford the repairs this time. Just wish people wouldn't sell dodgy shit to begin with (not the car, thinking more along the lines of engine).

Anywho, when she goes i will probably be dormant for quite sometime, untill i get another/if i ever get another skyline.

Toodles SAU, I didn't want it this way, but, that's life.

Mate there are alot of people that have been down in a shit situation like yourself... better times are to come, lovely car u got there.. dont worry about the woman, plenty more fish in the sea!

Id hate to state the obvious but without a job and a misses you will have alot of time on your hands.. why dont you employ (with beer payment) some sau members to give you a hand rebuilding the motor yourself? might have a laugh or two, some cupcakes(jess is famous for them) and stress less about other things....

just an idea..

hope all goes well..

That would really suck, but I hope you find it in you to push on...

You've got a nice car and have obviously put a lot of time, effort, and quite possibly money into it, so to throw it all away would quite possibly put as much stress on you as sticking with it, keeping the car and eventually piecing things back together when you get back on your feet...

yea thanks for all the support guys. I will still be making posts, but obviously won't be cruising or anything unless i tag along with someone.

Just at a major crossroads with what to do in terms of career etc. So will have to take it as it comes. But in a way, im hoping the car doesn't sell, so maybe i can save up the money to rebuild her, but yea. I've put ALLOT of blood, sweat and tears into it. But it's mainly my olds that are hastling me over it. I've been fighting to keep it ever since the first issue i got with her. I will see how it all goes.

This is the second time it's happened though, in the exact same order ;) Job, mrs, car ;)

    • It says 300ZX, does that make it an Aus delivered car? Funny how back in the day I just couldn't care less about Z32's and these days I am just in love with them. Back when Nissan was into pushing the envelope. 🤣
    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
