I really want a Supra but I can't really justify spending an extra $5000 just for a manual transmission. I'm only keeping this car for about a year.

It's 3 years newer for $5k more (starting price..) If all else is equal that's not a big difference in price for a 3 year newer car..

why not get the AWD r34 then add in the rb25det later on (i have no idea if this is possible)

Its probably the most complicated engine swap to do as far as Skylines go.

oh no, there's a 1.8L carby R32 that is a headfuck to put an RB26DETT into. that could possibly be a touch harder.

At the end of the day its easier and much much cheaper to sell a car and buy one with the same specs, than to try and upgrade it.

get another hobby, like kidnapping prostitutes

make sure you grab the independant ones. the ones with pimps are a mess to clean up after, and usually you have to dispose of bodies.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuu was changing sparkplugs and one of the coilpack connectors crumbled. Now im down one cylinder and car stuck at friends house :D

How much would a coilpack loom cost from Nissan?

JustJap has them IIRC.

coz guys who buy V35's in oz want them as cheap alternatives to IS300's. they're not very courageous when it comes to mods.

there's a few guys in QLD who have baller V35's tho, but after talkin to them, they cbf with forums.

i was thinking about grabbing one, but now i want to see what happens with this toyo FT86 thing.

Whats the go with jspec's website? did it really get hacked or did everyone just get over it?

You'll be waiting a while before it affects australia in any way.

<rant>Most of the guys who buy IS350's are guys who just got into the 60K plus job market, are working profesional jobs and wanna impress their mates with a fancy car with a label that is somewhat luxurious. They're the same wankers that buy base model Mercs and 3 series Beemers. Likewise most of the guys who buy V35's are usually the same type but are either hard up for cash or are actually smart with how they spend their money (so they get luxury for a lower price, then brag to their IS or 3 series driving colleagues how their cars are better).

Either way, none of them will ever ever ever mod their car with epic low or gangster fitment.</rant>

Yeah some romanian guys managed to use a client login to upload a rootkit that then overwrote every single file on the webserver folders with a worm. Unfortunately this overwrote pretty much all the code I had done, and since I'm not free to do them any more Craig's doing em again from scratch. He was supposed to launch at Christmas, but it hasn't happened. Not even sure why there was no backup of all the stuff I did.

Its like some of the people I work with who want to buy [insert base model of each range of BMW/merc etc]. I rather be walking then seen in a 320, or 118, Paying that money for the brand, when you can pay a little more and get a decent car out of it /rant

WTF no backups of a biz? How many hrs does it take to put together a site like the old one?

Well I'm back...

I didn't buy any of the cars I just posted.

I bought a 1998 Manual Supra. White. Immaculate inside and out. Like new. Comes with some black wheels and chrome lip.

Picking it up in a week.

WIN.

I made backups onto the PC i used for development, but unfortunately I think that PC was formatted or something. It took me the good part of 3 years to get the backend feeding all the data from auctions, japanese car yards etc properly, and the same amount of time for Craig to develop the backend, admin system etc. all of which was lost.

he's done a fairly good job of restoring it and polishing it up, its got all sorts of fancy 2.0 stuff now from the preview I saw.

nothing a hammer and an angle grinder cant fix

edit: also tackled my boats ignition problems, no power coming out of the power solenoid, so replaced that. then had some power running to the starter but the started wont budge. so pretty much had to take off all the carby covers to get the f**ker off.

would be nice to go for a fish on sunday :|

    • 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
