Rant time:

I'm looking for a spare engine/gearbox for my RS250 racebike. I answer an ad one guy has for an engine/box for $500. I tell him I'm real keen and I'll be in VIC in the next few weeks to pick it up. Next reply I get, he's saying sorry totalled receipts for work done and now wants $500 more than what he quoted. I tell him I'm not interested anymore and now he's having a go at me for wasting his time! Wasting his time??? :banana:

Ready to just say I'll take it, go over there in the next few weeks and then just hand over the cash for the original price! Whatever happens after happens ... but I'll give him a demonstration of wasting time.

:devil:

I'm heading towards the same boat! As much as I love the GTR... I really want to travel :banana:

do it man. i was meant to do it years ago, i almost regret putting it off for so long.

i mean, i can always buy another car when i get back, but spending 3+ years seeing the world... thats a little more difficult.

i dont wanna sell the s14, i love the tractory pos to bits, but yeah... time to do something mature i spose.

nah, they sell them as "cold air induction kits" with a ram on the end, and charge like a wounded bull for them

try sprints. i saw something like what youre after at the local on the other day.

step 2 return in 10yrs time to classic automobil still respected n feared by many :banana:
I could purchase one of those car bubbles.

storing a car for an extended period of time isnt as simple as just chucking it in a car-coon or something...

my boss friend has 1 of those for his 60s shaguar v12 :cool:

just make sure u secure godzilla properly i was watching this movie jurrasic park and when those animals got loose holy crap.

n yeah its not that simple but its doable, all depends on how much you like ur car.

Garage GT-R,

Take loan for trip, enjoy yourself.Then pay it back slowly and keep your pride and joy and then get home loan and merge loans and the trip loan will disappear into a 300k mortgage :cool:

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
