r31 nismoid: u say trust the blokes with the bad choice in plugs but after 4 days they were stumped and had no idea what the problem was...

gtst25: i didnt keep driving it much, only a little bit when i thought it was bad fuel and had drained the tank and refilled and thought it had to run through. apart from that i was saving money to get it back to the damn mechanics. and i used to be on here for hours each night reading tech stuff but ihave had bugger all time these days to get on here.

wAZR32GTST: yeah this was my first service owning the car so i hadnt got to know anyone to know my car inside out. I asked around a few blokes with strong skylines and they pointed me there. Yeah $600 included the barrel service plugs and labour because some people keep bringing up that it was 600 for the lock. and is it really that easy to get the door trim off when its already shut and locked?

sinistagtst: mate that exactly what i did do this bloke is sposed to be one of the best in newy. well i suppose he still is if it was my f**kup.

skylinecouple. thanks for your 'helpful' advice. firstly i had no idea it was the AFM in the first place. i asked on here earlier and i got a list amount 20 long, from afm, coils, plugs, pipes popping off, boost controller, bad fuel, heaps of stuff. And i know theres 50 pages on plugs but how would i know they are the problem when a damn qualified mechanic, one of the best in newcastle, put them in!

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      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!
