Think I will getting a letter from customs either tomorrow or early next week about some parts I got coming in.

Been 1week already in customs awaiting approvel to send out to me. Should be 4-7days delivered instead.

Heard a few interesting theories about what they want to do to fix it up.

This BP thing is just silly, surely with the amount of off-shore drilling going on these days, you would have a plan to stop this yeah? WRONG!

I say just sikaflex that shit.

It's not just BP you know?

It's the company that owns the rig and the company that concreted the base. All of them are at fault yet the media only play up on the big name. There's also a chance this could be the end of BP as their stock prices have dropped dramaticlly so only time will tell.

The reason why it's taking so long to fix is because they have to deviate a new well from a few km away to force the mud through the original well that they tapped into. They will have to re sleeve the old well which is going to be hard work as the psi is so high from the escaping gas which is forcing the oil out.

The mud that they are using has some chemical base which doesn't allow gases to go through it. This will slow the oil flow till it's eventually stopped and then use the new well drilled to continue with the remaining oil.

so, i have been hammering my car loan to get it out of the way

i have $77 left,

if i pay that $77 right now, i have to pay a $300 fee to close the loan early.

FFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU BANK SA!

thats the case with every loan Craig! It sucks.

That's why (depending on the purpose) I'll use a credit card with 12mths interest free terms. Zero interest and I can pay it out in less than 12 months with no BS payout fee.

:blink:

^ thats the same with my loan, the fixed interest one anyway.

Also seen your trackie at Garage 7 today Craig, looks tough as a badly cooked steak with the wheels spaced out.

would have seen my black coupe there too!

If you can afford to pay out a 15k+ loan in 12 months, a $300 fee isnt much to worry about!

    • UPDATE: Yes the GSP Axles are compatible. I installed it on my R34 today and they are working a treat! Turns out that the S13, S14, S15, and 200 SX all used the same axles as the HR34, and ER34 NA models. Which is 2 bolt x 3 pairs.  
    • Also build this EH ute with 370z motor and gearbox with a couple of turbos just for fun.  
    • 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.
    • 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.
    • 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
