Kudos to Jap Import Spares

Picked up genuine tie rod end for S2 Stagea or R34 GTR for $95 each.

Another place wanted $175 second hand!!!

:P

Now I gotta rip the tie rods and brakes out tomorrow and fit the tie rods and R34 GTT brakes ... in time for the Time Attack on sunday.

Just thought I would express my appreciation to my supervisor. He ordered me some new tools without me asking, and delivered them to me on the job site. He also delivered the good news that my new Subaru Forester will be arriving over the next few weeks, along with my new Dell Laptop.

What a champ!

oh, and my tax refund just turned up in my account :D

win!

Well I have decided I am going to go hop in the spa with a couple of beers .... so don't be surprised if you guys don't see me at Villi's tonight, as I may well decide I cbf getting out of the spa :)

And any Northies who 1) have my number and 2) know where I live, feel free to come over - there is plenty of beer and the spa holds 6 ppl :D

+ fart assing around with timing etc to ensure the mixtures are right and the timing is where it should be etc.

no once you start mucking around with timing thats a touch up tune and will be charged accordingly

for a AFR check all your doing is making sure @ WOT your AFR's are going high in the 12's to low 13's

will post up a pic late of my AFR run @ Jaustec need to scan it

EDIT

Chad did your clutch plate come today

anyone know the name of those crazy race driver toys that have the little man who makes the engine noise as you change up thru the gears, has a key to turn on, starts out subtle and gets radical as you shift up the little gear lever, its only about 6 inches tall or so ????????

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the 2025 build re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I quite rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
