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 ;)

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
