im over you playing games with my head, you have a girl friend just like last time i know you did and i dont really care about anything we did or where so please leave me alone and dont contact/ring/sms me or anything its not fair that you do this to me!

I got a nice job to do tonight when I get home.

I get to fit all those nice CF parts to my MV Agusta Brutale :D FINALLY!!!

The CF panels, Ohlins suspension, clear lenses have only been waiting 3.5 months to go onto the damn bike! :D

Well I got my ass reamed at Regency today! Say they found a "rust spot" and need to get it fixed before they will give me the all clear. Such a load of crap but hey, what can I do/say? Luckily Andrew and his brother in law David have been very accommodating to me lending parts... :P

Cheers boys

Where is the rust spot? Body parts or chassis? :P

I remember Regency trying to f**k me over for rust on the body work of my bike ... until I pointed out to the numbnuts the body work was plastic! All he could answer to that was "fair enough", then proceeded to backpedal and let me pass. Idiot! Didn't even check me for noise. Just tried to find stupid things, instead of the most obvious, legitimate things.

Yeah, they'll find any excuse really. Get ready for more "go away, come back" games. :)

we talking girls are we?

I just broke off a 3year 3 month relationship because my gf is going to live in europe and im not going. We still both love each other but its only gonna get harder as time goes on before she leaves...

hardest thing ive ever been through i can tell ya that!

but on a plus side, ive got more cash for the car and more spare time for the hills! :P

Sorry to hear there Ryan :P It's not fun, I've been there as I'm sure the rest of us have, my best wishes to ya!

Reuben, I didn't actually take the car down; had a workshop do it for me but I was told it was somewhere in the wheel arch or something of the like, couldn't hear properly as the worksite was loud today, will hear back and find the full story when I get the quote back but the guy who took it down for me basically said they were looking for anything to ping me on when they couldn't find anything legitimately wrong with the car

Sorry to hear Ryan. I only say this from personal experience (been in a similar position), but if she really did love you, she'd have found a way to keep you two together ... like not going, or compromising. Dunno ... no two situations are the same. Look at it this way, you had one fine lady come from OS to be with you ... the Skyline!

You've got the idiots drifting and racing everywhere to thank for that. :P

    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
    • OK, now we are ready to get started. You need to remove the air boxes on each side for clearance. The cover is straightforward, undo the clips on the top and lift the front cover out of the rest of the housing. If it is tight you can remove the air filters first. The rear section of the airbox is trickier. On each side you need to remove the Air flow meter wiring which is held to the airbox with a clip; you need to get behind the clip on 2 sides if you want to remove it without breaking it - unclip the harder side and pull on the clip with medium force, then unclip the easier side and it should pop out The airbox is held onto the intake hose with a spring clamp; you need to get a flat bladed screwdriver behind the spring on both sides and pop them outwards. When you have got them in the right unclipped place they will stay there and the airbox slips out pretty freely. Put a rag in the intake to prevent anything getting dropped in there, and also to prevent you seeing that the turbo seal is leaking oil (as they do). Then. The top of the radiator is held by a steel plate, it is secured by 2x10mm and 2x12mm headed bolts . Remove them and remove the plate Also grab the bushings that hold the radiator to the plate on each side so they are not lost!
    • Next, remove the upper and lower radiator hoses, both are held with a spring clamp. While you are under there, tackle the Auto Trans cooler lines.  Again both are held on with spring clamps, and as mentioned above you should cap them on the radiator side with an 8mm cap, and on the car side loop them with a length of 8mm pipe - this will stop you losing a dangerous amount of AT fluid during the rest of the job If you've been meaning to add a sender for AT trans temp, this is a great time to do it; put a sender fitting into the passenger side line as that is the inlet to the cooler/radiator.
    • Next you need to remove the intake duct (as with pretty much every job on these cars), it is a series of clips you gently remove with a flat bladed screwdriver. They do get brittle with time and can break, and I have not found a decent quality aftermarket one that fits (they are all too soft or flimsy and don't last either) but the nissan ones are a couple of bucks each (ouch).  Once the clips are off (either 8 or 10, I didn't check) you lift the intake duct out and will see the reservoirs Undo the line into the radiator side cap (some bent needle nosed piers are awesome for spring clamps) and then remove the 4x 10m nuts that hold both in place.  I didn't get these pics, but remove the line under the radiator reservoir (spring clamp again) then remove that reservoir. Then you can get at the intake reservoir, same thing, spring clamp underneath then remove it. BTW This is a great time to put in a larger (+70%) combined reservoir that AMS makes..... https://www.amsperformance.com/product/q50-q60-red-alpha-coolant-expansion-tank/ They also make an Infiniti branded and part# version if that is your thing
