If there's a fire in your car, it'll take you two whole minutes to remove the fire extinguisher? I wouldn't go to see Birds, Kurtis, if it's going to take that long to take out...install it yourself :P
remove = uninstall. (remove extinguisher & bracket)

To actually get the extinguisher out of its cradle is about 5 seconds.

were is your factory birds?...do you own it?

Think he was joking elky :)

get your suspension checked over, wheel balance and alignment. a stock r33 should be fine past 200ks. make sure you have decent tyres of high speeds and decent brakes (good pads and evenly worn discs, good brake fluid). you might think power is more fun but better handling is far more important to get correct, even if it costs a bit. too many people fail to understand this, along with how much good tyres help.

I know flat spots have been mentioned... ...But I had to really step on the breaks hard once when a tool ran a red light and for about two weeks I had a lot of vibration from about 75kmh and up... ...also... ...I did have a bit of vibration when I first got my skyline... ...but a re-con on the power steering fixed that up...

    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
