Spotted an R34 GTT/R. Not sure as I had to cock my head back from 12 to 6 and by then he took off. He looked at me a few times but I was a lil slow on the wave.

Not exactly sure where, but heading to the city past ANU / Stadium.

Uh oh :( What happened?

Over the last few years the engine has had to sit unused, sometimes without oil, while I slowly swapped the turbo, intake manifold, and a bunch of other stuff, plus the years of abuse before that.

Finally got everything installed, got it to tune, made good power. day before I went to pick it up, it started pissing out oil smoke. a little on idle, alot under load and when backing off. Looks like its engine. People reckon rings and or valve stem seals.

Now with baby in the way, I dont have money for a replacement.

Yay cars!

If its valve stem seals I have the tools to change them without removing the head off. Mine did the same when backing off turned out I had to rebuild my turbo but had changed the seals before and it wasnt the problem.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
