IN HERE

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 ;)

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!

      Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
