Nothing to worry about skyline fuel pump has a nice sock on it so shouldn't drag rubbish up either

nick there is plenty of leeway between fuel light and empty my manual says there is 9ltr in the tank when the light comes on thats almost 100kms

i did the same at lukes house once due to parking on incline :nyaanyaa:

Its better then what my sister did!

She was driving me to school in her old 4cyl VH commodore (HAHA it was the funnist car, brown, stockies etc) when in the middle of an intersection at Golden Grove it ran out. She left me in the car while she walked home to get mum (had no credit on phone).

I was 14 in school uniform stuck in an intersection and RAA drive past and offered to tow me out of the intersection so I jumped in the drivers seat and got towed while everyone walking to school stood watch. Good times.

lol I remember picking my RX-2 up from the workshop with an extra 100bhp over when it went in, the problem was that it drank accordingly. I picked my new GF up for our first date, and the thing ran out as I was turning right on North East Road! Thankfully I was heading downhill, and there was a servo on the corner, so there I was pushing the thing across the intersection, with the GF refusing to get out the car and help lol. I should point out that GF is now the mother of my 3 kids :nyaanyaa:

Ok got a 10L jerry and the gauge just moved haha....

Got it in the shed, wired in SITC.

Drove to BP filled it up went for a quick drive to warm it up.

Go home check base timing with light. Bang on 15 deg. Wind in 5 deg advance on 800rpm on the SITC check timing and suprise theirs 20deg advaced. wind it 5 deg retard and their we have 10 deg advanced... So its all working :D sweeett

Now am going to source and fit a 3" dump/front pipe and get it to boostwerx for a SAFCII and SITC tune

      Got the passenger door on plus the master cylinder and booster. Loaded up to take it home. At home, the colour changes a lot in the light.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Nothing cheap, but I have seen the AC Hydraulic DK13HLQ which is pretty close to what you're asking for. The problem is the hydraulic cylinder mandates that the back of the jack be a certain height and Skylines have fairly deep inset floor jack points. A more certain and cheap option is to get some nominal 2x10 inch lumber boards and have one board be 1.5 feet, the other board 3 feet. Glue it all together with lots of clamps to maintain pressure. Make two of these. The ramp suggested above is a good idea, it takes quite a bit of clutch slip to get over each of the boards. I only need the first ~1.5 inches for my low profile jack on a standard ride height car but a lowered car you want to go up to the full ~3-3.5 inches. Paint it or store indoors if you want it to last.

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      Ok. And Nistune? I read (here too) mainly on Stagea threads that it can by "turn off" with Nistune. But they say they still had the sensor plug in. Next week iam going to the Nistune(and other ECUs) tuner so i can finally make it work. I drove the car home and apart from the cut it drove great. No misfire no smoke no hesitation or rough start...so hoping it is this sensor that is missing

      I just stack 2 pieces of 200x50 timber on top of each other. Total length about 900mm, with the top one being a little shorter and both having a 45° angle cut on them to make the front edge a bit of a ramp. Put these in front of each front wheel, drive up on them, throw the trolley jack under. Takes 1 minute. Scissor jacks can eat a bowl of dicks. I never use on under my car unless desperate.

      Well, yeah. But I just expect everything other than my car to feel like a bucket of shit anyway. I still miss my Alfa 116 so much though. You could run over a 20c piece and tell whether it was heads or tails.
