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:

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
