sad day at the stagea camp...

^^^ truth.

Hope it all works out for the best Rodney. Just wish Id known you and your car prior to this, never mind. What are your car plans after this is all sorted?

Yeah was found Tuesday

got a couple of ideas for the new rig,all I will say is that watever it is,it's gonna be rocking straight pipes again

I will be back in something equally as unique as my stagea (was)

Had mine written off

just cars must have rang Nissan or autech for a price on new 260rs sideskirts

ouch...

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

If you can buy the wreck at a good price (assuming most of the components are Ok) you could get yourself an RS4T and transfer all the good bits over.
I guess in a sick way, now it looks like your Avatar! ;)

At least you got it home I guess

lot more smoke than that LOL......yeh went a got the car trailer!

Cop's(hwy) turned up while I was loading it.

Stupid question from them too as I was winching the car into the trailer:

Cop "What are you doing?

Me "If I have to spell it out bud there's a problem"

Cop "I asked you a question!"

Me "winching my car into the trailer officer :) "

Cop "are you being a smart arse?"

Me "I tell you what bud.....why don't you tell me what you would like me to say!......I don't want to be Captain Obvious here but really....what the f#$K do you think I am doing?"

Cop "Is this you car?"

Me Just answered that! :( "You want to buy it?

Dad " Craig shut up and keep loading the car I'll talk to the officer"

Me "Good idea.....I'm not dealing with fools very good ATM!"

Cop "Excuse me!"

Me " Yup you are!"

5 minutes later

Dad "Alway's have to be a smart arse don't you"

keeps lube in glove box for next time plod sees car on road

ow unlucky, hopefully just a seal and you havent sent an exhaust wheelll through the works.

spent yesterday arvo, and all day today cleaning the InsIDE of my car. took off all the seals, cleaned and conditioned them, cleaned all the doors and door jams, sunroof seals etc, hit all the furry stuff with upholstery cleaner.....it was an epic battle. also relocated the gizmo EBC from out of the glove box where it was rattling around, to just under the headunit. need to hook up a kill switch in the event that i get pulled over, but looks trick.

next weekend it will be exterior, and weekend after that, engine bay and underbody - but i'm slowly getting there! it'll be mint once its done.

question, does anyone have trouble with the rear sunroof not sealing up? it looks like the rear edge of mine could go up another 2-3mm - and i reckon it's letting water in. it tends to fog after a wash with the high pressure hose? tried to manually wind it a bit further, but wouldnt budge.

smokey... ive had this drama with mine b4.. passenger side at the rear, or the rear sunroof??

a guy on here put a little plate in his to hold it up... as theres no adjustment for close height as far as im aware... if there is its maxxed out.

do a search and u will find what im talking bout :D

sounds pretty similar chef. mine is on the drivers rear, and it's not letting water into the car - but there is enough of a gap for me to tell that it would be sending water down the guttering rather than letting the seal do it's work.

i found this: http://www.gtr.co.uk/forum/104404-leaky-body-sunroof-2.html

sounds like what you're talking about, did you do the same on yours??

got my alignment done

can someone have a squiz and tell me if the messed anything up?

i asked him to dial in as much caster as possible and he seemed confused and said "i don't think you will notice that on road tyres mate"

Thanks

Faark dude, even with my best squint I can't read that properly, hope someone's got better eyes than me. I'll have 6 beers and come back to it.

Around +5 deg 22" left, +4 deg 41" caster; -1 deg camber and +0.5mm toe was optimal on my old r31, and it needed camber/caster adjustable strut tops to get there; obviously there'll be some differences given the rear can also be aligned. How were they adjusting the caster? Are your caster rods adjustable?

On my NM35 they're not...

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
