lol Cheers guys,

Its sure is coming along slowly. Basically once my mate has done all the welding its time to get it rolling for Lance walker to make up a sick roll cage for it, then onto paint.

Main parts now is coilovers, brakes and dog box, then possibly a cf tailshaft, billet driveshafts, then focus on interior.

Interior shouldnt be too hard..

Driver Seat, steering wheel, speedo, rev gauge, and a seat for the chicks to sit on..must be reclineable. :)

knowing our luke he'll find some way to have some hydraulic hidden double waterbed with the optional back massager built in to the boot and rear seating compartment. you wont be able to see it, till he presses his james bond button, and then the sheepskin upholstery and dom perignon will pop up out of nowhere (and there will be an xxl size edible cherry condom located in the ashtray incase out hero finds himself in a spot of bother...(

-D

think i may have just found my half sister on FB :D shes a mutual friend of my cousins on that side of the family

which in turn will lead me to my old man which i havent seen in 20 years....

not sure if i add her and see what happens or leave it......

yeah, i dunno man.....

doesnt really seem like he has made an effort, last time he seen me was when i was 3.

how could ya do that?

if me and my missus broke up, theres no f**king way i could never see my son again, not even for a week!

let alone 20 years....

some things may be better left unchanged.

do it mate

family IS important no matter what.

As someone who's basically had nothing to do with their family in over a decade, I disagree. They've made no real effort to keep in touch since my parents kicked me out, why would I bother trying to keep in touch with them.

My friends are my family, and they've stuck with me more than any of my 'real' family has.

I'm in the same boat mate, except 21 years :ninja:

My thoughts on it are on par with most of what you've written ^

Some of you need to get off the high horse that you rode in on, people have extenuating circumstance's in there live's all the time. I cant speak for your dad craig but coming from 2 similar situation's it's easier to do than you think. My first child i wasn't apart of his life because the mother had an altermatem put on her by her parents its either us or him, you stick with him and we wont help you she stuck with them because i was only 17 and was very immature.

2nd child yas about 4 years after the first we were together 4yrs in total 2 childless and 2 with my son after things fell apart my best mate ran off with her which i took pretty hard hit the bottle big time and hit drugs just as hard for many years i hated them both and wished i would meet him on a bus so i could smash his face in through all this drinking and anger i didn't look for a relationship with my son to which i deeply regret. So here is the question do i not deserve the chance to get to know him or do i deserve all his friends telling him your old man is an effed up looser dont have any thing to do with him?

Iv.e been sober ever 10 year's now and been a contributing member of society, i have had the chance to meet him in court when he asked to change from a hyphened last name to a last name that matches the rest of the family, through that i send christmas money and cards to his grandparents and asked for his mum's mobile number oh he was 15 when i met him and my first son was 14 when i met him, he has since turned 18 to which me and Jema stayed at there house for a week and took him to sydney and stuff, in my personal opinion make the decision your self dont take the advice of e-friends

This has not been reread or corrected for gramma just straight from my heart to you

i see what your sayin man, i really do..

but my mum hasnt ever tryed to stop him finding me, our number has always been in the phone book

and his new wife is still in touch with my aunty, and i still have his last name!!

he has had plenty of avenues to get in touch with me, theres obviously a reason why he

hasnt that im not aware of, so ill leave it at that...

i have my own little family to worry about now.

He may be at a point where he is too embaressed to contact you Craig,

Just do it man - You don't have to be 'happy family' with him - but atleast you will have no regrets in formally meeting your blood father. Imo you got nothing to loose and everything to gain in just 'meeting him'. Like I said, you don't need to be happy family but atleast give it a go.

Steve, I see what you are saying and I feel for you, but my case has nothing in common with yours. Im happy to discuss details with you in private if you like but it sure as hell wont be posted on a public forum. Saying get of your high horse is a bit innappropriate for such a sensitive matter.

    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • 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.

    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
