Over the holidays:

changed plugs and did oil change and coolant change

removed the HKS filter and refitted the stock airbox

removed boost gauge

put Apexi gear up on ebay ... not fitting anymore

removed adjustable and got ride height at 375 front (340 ADR) and 375 rear (340 ADR)

tested exhaust system with cat/box resonator/muffler and its quiet at 88dBA

Should keep the officers happy :P

Also ... I drank lots of beer ... and sold my GSXR race bike :P ... and got a buyer for the Stagea looking at it this week.

I'm approx 380-390 all round... yuck.

wow, and people say im rocking the 4wd spec height.

also, im now home sick. f**k. how disgusting are people that think its ok not to bath and simply cover up their disgusting odour with perfume? had a punter like that today, the smell made me physically ill.

What you going to do then Mitch? Get a motor out of a half cut or full rebuild?

just gonna piss and moan about it for a couple more hours , continue to job hunt , get a job , save up cash , fix it , sell it , move on

but for the mean time , let the car cool down then start pulling the engine apart .

They can be an expensive habit when things go wrong but don't let it get ya down mate!

im trying not to but it slowly is considering how much i owe on the car and all that shit

oh well , least its my car and not my health .

    • Nah, they'll do it without a receipt, tell em roughly when it was, that it was cash, youll likely only get store credit, but that gets you some dollars towards the newer better shovel, or other item you need/want later.   Still take it back and have a crack at returning it.
    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
