It's Jesus, lol.

I was faced with the same options but without dumping a whopping great V8 in my Nova ... buy the Skyline dude, if you live at home you'll always have a free hot meal and most of the living expenses are paid for. At least until you get a well paying job or pay off the car.

I'm actually looking to move out myself now that I have a decent paying job .. I can finally afford both =P

jesus never had a dad, what would he know about bonding with your old man while putting in a chev engine into your R32.

drop the 358... be different (and it'll be cheaper than moving out).

thats a really good point

thanks for the comments guys, just found out the place i was looking at and very keen on does not offer any car parks for any of its 500 residence, which is well f**ked for want of a better word.

however, the moving out is not off the table i just got to sort my shit out i guess.

Man, if you live at your home maybe. Live at my home its 15% (used to be 20% until the Ps paid off the house) of take home pay is board, and I have to cook tea at least 4 nites a week. Amoung other things.

You guys have it way too easy.

u think they have it easy.. all my mates are being given ther cars.. 16k yaris, 20k rollas and my bro got a 25k GTT.. and i worked my lil ass off for a 13k GTiR and sold for 15k :)

new gen have it sweet as..

My brother put in a carby chev into his 33 and it was a big mistake as so many things didnt fit and had to be custom made and cost over 20k (that did include a few other things)without it being complete yet. Its not the basic engine swap ppl think it is

Um just something to look into... im not sure exactly on the rules nowdays its been a long time since ive bothered looking.. But im pretty sure u cant put an engine in a car that wont meet at least its production years emission standards.

basic?!?!?! who said it was basic.....the amount of mod plates you need is crazy, and i am surprise he got away with it for 20k.

Keep looking, don't settle for somewhere you're not happy with :) When I used to rent we'd look for ages to make sure we got places with lock-up car parking.
You dont want to be living at home forever like mark

    • Hey crew, Failed my WOF cause of a lower control arm, and I've decided to hit both arms, and also the compression rods at the same time(seems they're gonna be the most likely upcoming failure points from some discussions with the lads over on the G35 reddit). I've looking at these form Z1:  https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-compression-rod-p-40716.html https://www.z1motorsports.com/front-suspension/hayaku-automotive/hayaku-g35-front-lower-control-arm-p-40674.html I asked Z1 if they'd work as it's the same platform, just RHD vs LHD. I basically got told "Lol dunno". Specifically they aren't aware of any difference but can't guarantee fitment as they haven't done it on a 350GT. So guess I'm asking is if there is any issues with using 2005 G35 coupe suspension parts on a 2005 350GT coupe? Orginally I thought it could be something in the way of the arms that each control arm is designed to be positioned around, but that'd be an engineering nightmare for Nissan needing two different shaped control arms 😅
    • ^ This. The mode door actuator is a common failure, as is the actuator and/or the actual valve for the coolant flow control valve. I also don't know how available the mode door actuator is these days. I've been meaning to look into it and get one from wherever is possible, to keep in the shed for the rainy day when mine eventually fails. Anyway, the advice to you is to search the usual NOS part supply places, or even just go to Nissan and see what they list.
    • Have you got a pic of the actuator? My guess is that unit has failed internally and was flopping around, so the previous engineer who owned it forced it to be fully open to cold air (blocking the heater core path). As far as you can tell, is anything else wrong in the system? Likely you just need a new actuator (not sure how available they are) and then "installation is the reverse of disassembly"
    • I'm happy with the Lsailt unit that I put in, it puts full Android on the top screen so you can run whatever Nav and other Apps you want, while still existing inside the factory functionality like automatic reverse cams, audio input switching, retains factory bluetooth etc. Not cheap and the install was moderate (not simple, not hard) Yours is a V36 not V37 though right?
    • Yeap, all the NC's that I originally looked at that had a hard top were PRHT, which makes the roof line look horrible, hence why I said nope to them My only caveat for another MX5 was it needed to have a hard top, and initially I didn't think you could get a detachable hard top for the NC,  like my NB had Again, a big thanks to Matty for helping me source the detachable hard top for my little girl, they are as rare as hens teeth in Australia, and the few people who have them, keep them Also to Greg, for initially pointing me in the NC direction NC PRHT 🤢🤮 Not mine (I really should take more photos of my car), but a NC with the detachable hard top 😁 To me, the difference in how the detachable hard top roof line looks, and how it actually follows the bodies lines, like they do on NA's and NB's, is chalk and cheese compared to the bulbous looking PRHT
