Just went for a cruise to the shops.

Looked at weather on the net first. No rain.

as soon as i fin washing the car it comes down. always does. always.

Also. A high number of ambos with lights on tonight. Seems the usual tailgaters cant do it in the wet,

Because of you Chad (yes, I'm blaming you :D ), I am now $10,000 poorer.

I pick it up tomorrow night. So it looks like I'm back into another Skyline :bunny:

Cant wait!

Nice one Kye :) Looks like a winner for sure :bunny:

-D

That 33 front on a 32 is disgusting!

Agreed.

And while rain always does come at the worst time, it actually worked in my favour and washed off a big ass bird shit on my roof... 5 seconds of flannel work and shes GONE

-D

wootage

Acquired a set of GTR sway bars tonight :D

RB25 BOV will be on it's way early next week :bunny:

Mate has a bleed valve I can have for free :bunny:

Recently got around to fitting black mesh to the openings in the front bar and grille so it looks neater :)

"the list" of shit to do to the car is slowly being ticked off, and so far a lot of the shit has cost me less than what I was expecting :D

some days i wish i never stepped in a kitchen

this morning one of my f***n fryers decided to catch alight so we had to close the whole kitchen down and call the CFS, then tonight, i went and burnt myself aswell as being extrmeley paranoid about the other fryer and the ovens catching alight, arrghhh! not fun!!

lol nah nothing like that at all steve - i wasnt even near the fryers,not even using them, was chopping something tunred around and the thing was on fire!!!!

Wwas very scary thats for sure.........took a good couple of hourse before my heart rate went back to normal and i stoppped shaking.......

first instinct was i grabbed the fire blanket that was right next to me and chucked it over, aswell as turning off the fryers, and the stove tops, ovens etc

ive never had it before and i dont want it to happen again, im just glad i wasnt in the middle of service when it happened.

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
