Sparks are the easiest job on a GTR! Lol

i fear tiny bolts and shit...

flanges with 30mm bolts, yes. 5mm hex heads, are scary. screws get rounded and shit, that'll cause pain...

and sam, alright, i'll bring some new ones then.. lend me thy tools! and i need to get some of my own tools too.

yeah its really easy, just got to disconnect ignitor and unplug one of the tubes over the top.. undo the cover.. 6-7 big bolts holding coilpacks down.. pull them out and they make suction noise *thomp* :nyaanyaa:

Getting the cover off with the hex bolts car be a bitch if the previous owner / mechanic was a douche and did em up to tight.

Agreed, my old 33 was like this, spent quite a time trying to get 3 or 4 off it at GOR cruise.

I'd rather buy a bike what can 4-7k buy you for the car a kit and some rims? :domokun:

Maturity kickin' in yo - shouldn't do the gtr up >_<

Just a bit of a personal question - you guys/gals that are 25 ish renting or got a house? or still living at home? and to add those that do have a house what age were you when you moved in and was it with a gf / wife / a Mohsen?

I'm still living at home myself but thinking of just saving in the next few years for a deposit, have 25k of commonwealth bank shares atm so it would help with the initial saving

Get in the property market asap. Aint going to get any cheaper in the future.

Find yourself a secure job and go to Mortgage Choice to discuss your options. If you want a $300-$400k property you would need about $30,000 - $50,000 deposit upfront. You can either wait to save another $25k, or ask parents to "gift" you the remaining amount for deposit. By law gift means no payback and hence banks wont consider it as an additional loan to the homeloan. Just pay back your parents ontop of the loan repayment

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
