I just got my registration renewal today, it is now risen to the lofty heights of $682.95 for the 12 months. I am quite certain that nearly every year since I got my license and car in 94 that rego has gone up by $50 a year. It has risen $48.20 since last year! And to think I used to complain about paying $320 a year to have my little 1000cc mini on the road. Looks like my other mini shall be spending more time in the olds garage as I can't afford to register it aswell unless I put it under Veteran rego and all the restrictions that go with it. Time to get serious on personal injury claims, no more whiplash claims for reverse parking incidents!

Sorry about that rant, just needed to have a whinge.

Yeah, I have the Skyline and my trusty Gemini Panelvan for work to register, and I am really beginning to object to paying well over a grand just to register, lets not mention insurance. The mini is definately staying in the garage, or maybe I should sell it. That was my original intention when I bought the skyline, but nearly 2 years down the track I haven't been able to bring myself to do it. Its one of only 500 produced in Oz!

Maybe I should get a different job so I can rid myself of the Gemini, or just resign to being broke, mmmm decisions.

How much is it for an eight these days? I shudder to think.

Lets just be patient, lets see, my skyline is a 94 so in 21 years I will be able to register it under veteran rego for about $150 or around there. Sweet, can't wait!

I should probably drive my line less, but lets face, I walk downstairs to go for a drive and I am face with a decision, Gemini......Skyline......Gemini.......Skyline. Its a no brainer! If I didn't work on rough, dusty construction sites, and work didn't require me to carry around survey gear, the Gem would be gone. By the same token I got the line cause I was sick of driving around in a dirty, S&$tty car all af the time. Might be time to go back to computers and one car, one rego, one insurance.

Free ute! Thats nothing to laugh about, even if it is a Ford!

Says he with a Gemini.

      Looking for a part number for this part here

      By Duncan · Posted

      So....to find any R chassis part number, get your VIN (will be something like ER33-xxxxxx for you) and go to: https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan and enter it. From there you have access to a web version of Nissan's part system, FAST. It is a bit tricky to get used to, so maybe have a shot and post up what you think.  You can also search by general model but note in some cases your car might have different options so VIN is safest.  On diagram 211 I got 14075-75T16 for Connector, Water Hose If I search for part 14053‑21U10 that you posted, that is also a water hose but not the one bolted to the plenum and 14075‑04U00 is the fitting where the water hose goes into the block.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Yeah now we are talking I much prefer coolers in the front middle because it lessens the chance of a small bump to a corner stopping the whole event. I was thinking the AT cooler can move out of the radiator, delete the AT/engine coolant interwarmer and mount a separate cooler with a thermoswitch somewhere further back as is common in racing, that would be one thing. Beyond that, the engine oil cooler is an obvious one to move to the wheel arch, potentially one on each side, but unused space is an issue. I did have a earlier pic with the bumper off but it doesn't show how busy the corners are: DS is full of the auto driving sensors and PS is totally fully of windscreen washer fluid reservoir But ultimately I was hoping to keep the AC, and the water/air heat exchanger is fundamental so it is not just the radiator that needs to be in front BTW here's airflow to the rad as it ran at the track (one horn is gone now and I'll remove the lights next time):
