i will start with im shit at spelling and grammer so please forgive me.

well this story begins on a warm ........... no stinkin hot sydney day about 6 months ago now............ shit was it hot.

well i searched the net wile i was in perth looking for a sutable car and at the time there was nothing but utter crap for the amount of money they wanted and i wasnt botherd with barganing them down.

with a trip shortly coming to go see my mum and family in sydney i started to look around over there, choices well F^CK me i had alot lol , i should have gone for a bomb s14, s13,r32 ect but i couldnt get passed the car i now have in my possesion.

now i had a couple of cars lined up to look at , i looked at my ceffy had a couple of others to look at to but the guys pulled out for a view as they woould be busy.

so went a looked at the ceffy went home pondering what to do and decided to wait for these other guys to become free.

after many txts and calls these "other" guys fell of the face of the earth, so i thought stuff it take the ceffy and make something of it.

now the old girl wasnt very clean to start with with its weatherd interior , wet smelling carpet (should have left it at that whene i looked at it) , super dumped stance and dirty as sh!t rims , and the mess in the engine bay, and trust me it was a god damn mess.

after running around from bank to bank getting cash out as over there they let u take out max 1-2k at one hit. so 4 banks latter i had cash in hand lol.

signed a few things , got rego (freakin mission and another long story to this hahahahaha) , full tank of fuel i began the journey home along the m4 i think it is out to st clair where my mother dearest lived, not even 10 mins into the trip i get pulled by the cops, i tell them i only just bought the car and im taking it home to tidy it up, they were fine with that till they seen my licence , well F^CK me did they have a fit, i didnt realy listen till they said go straight home and they didnt wanna see it on the road till it was cleaned up ect. and also added that if the hwy patrol caught up with me there would be nothing they could do ??????? go figure.

so down the m4 i think it is lol flat nack seeing what the big old girl could do i was quite suprised, apart from being bumpy it was damn quick, got it home and had to stop and admire it for a wile , so i took some picks.

after that i had to buy rear coilovers for it due to the shock and springs in rear being non adjustable.

then the challange came whene i called the transport company for quotes . it had to be minimum 130-120ml of the ground at the lowest point.................. yeah right i said , ve ss commos are only like 110 factory i think and thats of the showroom floor. but alas i could not talk them around.

so i installed rear coilovers at max hight, lifted frounts to max hight, then measured from its loest point being the dump pipe................ 110ml :'( now that sucks assssssss.

so it had to go on a race car transporter $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ not happy jan.

next day i was on a plane back home again to fly to work the next day.

all i could think about was my pig , i wanted to play and drive it soooooo damn bad.

so work came and went and back on a plane to fly home again. yay . the car should be in perth by now and ready to be picked up.

NOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTttt

apparently the truck wasnt loaded enuff so didnt get sent for 4 more days......... time to wait some more................ grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

so i waited and it got here the day before i was due to fly back to work. yay

got a mate to take me to pick it up and drive it home and follow just incase.

so we got there to pick it up and waited like 30 mins wile the guy walked back and forth and around the yard probally 10 times trying to find my beloved car.

my god ..... the noise......... i couldnt see it but i heard it lol

he washed it, then gave me the keys .

so the dash was on. get home from midland kinda down to port kennedy without getting busted for this jet screaming loud pig. hahahahaha

drove like a dream. apart from temp gauge not working and using a shit load of fuel , mind u i had fun :)

so it got home. yay.

    • So I’m having issues with my power steering. the obvious heavy and light and comes on and off randomly now it’s constantly heavy. I’ve read through forums regarding this issue and what I’ve gather is that it’s referring to hicas deletion. That’s the problem mine didn’t come with hicas.    I’ve rebuilt the steering rack, pump, changed the bent hardline on the rack and taken out the solenoid to clean and loosen up the actuator, applied 12v to get it moving. Roughly checked the loom to see if there’s any damage to the loom and nothing. Now I’m checking the wiring. I’ve tested the wiring to the solenoid and it’s fluctuating between 0.07v to 0.03v. Does anyone know what it’s supposed to be reading? 5v? Anyone one know how this all works? Is there a fuse in between? What else is it connected to? How does it connect to the speed sensor? A resistor fried in the ecu? Please help. It’s been years Thanks in advance 
    • that's pretty good condition, those chips are nothing. Get a mobile repairer to sort it out. Nice wheels, I had white 17's on my GT-R once, looked nice.
    • Found a car that has kiki desing wheels on it with diffrent plates that match a 2008 model when clearly it's not white  
    • Howdy friends, So this evening I had a need to remove the rear compressor turbo pipe (long story, but I'm replacing it due to a bolt snapping off in the pipe and managing to then snap an extraction bit in the broken bolt, fun times -_-). The rear bolt is a bit of a bastard and very little room to get good leverage. I was able to get a 12 mm socket onto the bolt head, but none of my ratchets were able to fit, so I put together a "stubby" socket wrench to get it out and it worked surprisingly well 🙂. In the past I've "made" tools by cutting down spanners and bending them with a torch etc, but this 3D printed wrench was way less effort. I'll be keeping this one in my "special tool draw" from now on for sure ^_^b https://www.printables.com/model/868973-half-inch-stubby-socket-wrench
