Damn. You win lol

[tridentt150v]

if you own a motorbike, you can live without the skyline for bit longer........but you still end up hanging out like some drug f##ked eye glazed freak.

[Scooby]

the never ending saga of poor trades people and how they affect us...sorry to hear it's still going on.

[sl33py]

Well, it's been mainly the dosh side of things - waiting to have money to fix stuff. I'm trying not to think about possible fun and games with the panel beaters.

[MIVEC]

Mine goes in to the panel beaters on Monday for what I'm hoping won't be too long.

Bout time too I suppose, the accident happened like 10 months ago.

[sl33py]

Far out. Why so long delay?

[GeeTR]

Mines been off the road for 2 years and 6 days... and counting

I took up heavy binge drinking, dropped the GF and started clubbing again to pass the time... lol.

Should actually be back in the road in *coughs* a month or two... serious...

Delay because I'm lazy. Plus I don't like not having a car.

Missus now has a car so it's sweeet.

[race_snooze]

Its Gay hey no car!!! I think everyone here has been with out their cars for a long period of time at one stage or another, I know some that have had there off the road for 3 years or more only to bring it life for a week end die again.

Mate of mine picked up a scratch in the the rear quarter of his R33 GTR when he parked it at work. Decided to get both rear guards resprayed and the bonnet, front bar and front guards to get rid of the scratch and various stone chips.

Quoted $2,500 by the recommended repairer of his insurer.

Paint run in the left rear quarter, lower front bar not sprayed ("it's not the front bar"), front guards not sprayed at all, poor paintwork on the bonnet (because they DIDNT F**KING PREP IT PROPERLY), overspray around the fuel filler, inner trim panels cracked and put back in with double sided tape, excessive mastic sealant around the quarter windows causing poor fit, charged for new side moulding clips and the side mouldings now fit poorly.

FIIIINALLY! Booked into Trojan for Monday... John & Ang already work crazy hours, and all you buggers are taking up his time haha so I'm being squeezed in, and not sure how long it'll be (guessing ~10 days give or take). Still waiting on an oil cooler from Slide, should be here in 3-4 days. Everything else is here: GTRS, PFC & EBC, Nismo 740cc's & pump, Blitz FMIC.

Given the recent number of posts about the GTRS turbo and how well suited it is to RB25, I'm very excited There's some really nice curved dyno graphs on here... mmm curves...

Plus if it's ready by the 11th, I can go to Wakefield the very next day

you guys all need to get a company car hahahaha lol

[supadan]

but it aint no skyline

[sl33py]

Back on the road! Grinning from ear to ear. Got 256rwkw on a very nice and safe tune, only 16.5 PSI. Using stock airbox too (don't want the extra noise/intake heat of a pod). The power comes on pretty darn smoothly, and the response is very similar to stock, just a 5h1tload more power! Thanks to John and Angelo

My car @ Turbo Upgrade thread

Might be going to Wakey on Tuesday and see how it fares, compared to last time where it overheated after two sessions

I've got some spare parts for sale too, will list them up shortly, cbf just now.

Man... I forgot what i's like driving a Skyline around here hahahah. Commodores n a few others feeling they have to make their presence known to me. The stovetop lights must attract them like gnats to a light FUN TIMES

[sl33py]

haha I think it's too late to get the license on time isnt it! It sounds interesting though! I'll look into it next time I posted in the events section about going to Wakefield this Tuesday but no comments I loved it the first time and wanna see what I can do in more than 2 sessions haha

BTW, went for a ride tonight in my car and then in with a mate in his new SS commodore. Both agreed mine would fairly kicks his ass... not from a dead halt, but would be far ahead not long after

Check with DIF, but I'm pretty sure you can get your licence on the day.

[TiTAN]
