i did loads of dodgy shit to my VN, it was my first car.

-one of the front seat mounts broke so i had a vacuum cleaner wedged behind the seat to stop me from swinging back.

-the front bar was held on by cable ties.

-i ripped the air filter out completely and put a stocking over the pipe. better performanz y0.

-the muffler was rusted so i grinded it off and didnt replace it. i also drilled a hole through the cat.

-i had a decent system in the car.. but couldnt afford a box for my sub.. so i put it in a bucket and used sikaflex to seal it.

-i removed the rear springs and cut the front ones.

there are plenty of VNs in town that are sitting on bump stops.

i've seen a xd falcon with a eb GT front bar on it. and a vh commodore with a vr front bar on it.

i have tape around the coil packs, zip ties hold my inter cooler on and my front bar. I had a rock thrown through my front windscreen and taped it up with hundred mile an hour tape. the holes in the bot lid from were the spoiler was has tope over them

commodores were meant for this kind of treatment i think. i went through 2 motors and a gearbox. i was driving it around for a few months with a failed main bearing on my 2nd motor till i sold it to a wrecker for $400.

its a huge piss off though. i spent around $5000 fixing the thing.

I've painted a car with house paint once. Looked great. Preparation consisted of one of those green scourers.

The dodgiest thing done to the Skyline is no soldering, just electrical tape on any wiring I've done.

Oh man thats Gold!! :rofl:

Ive done a couple - first car was a suzuki swift - owned it for 3 years and only ever serviced it twice and it still went

- chopped the gearstick with a hacksaw to have a short shifter

- drove around with the air filter cover off - wicked induction noise yo

once had a corona wagon, only car i ever smoked in, never cleaned, kicked allot. the roof had been filled with chiprock and plaster as the metal had rusted away. chucked some sheet metal over the top an brazed the sheet on from the bottom first ofcoarse then chip-rock + plaster with housepaint finish.

got a hole in the rocker cover so distinct lack of compresion so welded on some sheet metal then proceded to weld the cover to the motor. all compression issues fixed. had a leak in the exhuast which made the most anooying whistling sound so pulled of the rear muffler, found something of some other econo box @ reckers that matched ish to the brackets and just stuck it in there. car came for free, sold for $400 to reckers. did tell him most of hte car was not metal and he still offered me that much for the shitter

dodgiest thing ever done to line

took of S2 wing and added 33 r wing with rear brake light.

never skimp on anything when it comes to the beasty, solder and even bloody heat shrinks etc. love my common whore of a 33 I DO!

i crashed a toyota coroner into a tree trying to be a rally car driver once

it bent a rod in the steering so i brought the rod into school and got the metal works teacher to bend it bak. then i put i back on the car n drove around. the car was so f**kin dangerous but i still drove it around the place :rofl:

umm.....

used newspaper and chicken wire to fix rust spots(bogged over of course)

bought $500 cars, washed them properly, tuned them and gave em some new carpet and sold them for $2000

:rofl:

amazing what people will buy

    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
    • Bloody apprentices! 🙄
    • Not sure yet.  Was considering speedtek because it was rated to 800hp, but when I did some research about him I don't think I will go for that🤣 So maybe giken gear set, but I'm afraid it won't be strong enough🙄
