Was given a genuine blank Nissan GTR key as given to all Aus. delivered 32GTR owners on purchase :-)

Not sure if I want to run it or not.

I don't think they're all that rare, Chris, so if you need/want another they're pretty easy to get. Not cheap, though, unfortunately. :)

Cost me $54 for the blank from Nissan, but that was a while ago: I also got 5 more spare keys cut for free, since the locksmith I used wanted a few practice runs before cutting the good key :banana:

Did you get done tangles? You pop the bonnet mate????

No, copper said nice car, I said yeah had her for 5yrs now

asked me for license and what I was up to, I gave said license and pointed across the street and said I live there, heading home after doing shopping (pointed to bags on seat)

cop laughed so we got you out front hey? I smiled, said thats fine, asked me to blow in the bag, I replied sure, i dont drink no worries.

copper cheerfully said looks like you dont have a nice day.

too easy

would have given her one too :P hot-as

Finally fitted my plenum spacer today, jeebus! What a difference! Thanks Andy & Craig for the comprehensive kit, went together like a dream (and Cam for the original legwork).

And in keeping with my "If you're gonna do something stupid; you might as well tell everone" policy; I cleverly dropped one of the replacement studs down No.1 intake port :blush: ! Minor heart attack, grabbed the torch, it's sitting about an inch out of reach. "The Claw"to the rescue :( , what a dope... :whistling: lol

I really need to get off my arse and install mine too :whistling: soon, I promise :(

Lucky, you had the claw... That would be scary...

A tense moment while I was getting the torch, let me tell you... Could NOT believe I'd done it.

"The Claw" FTW! :whistling:

Enjoy that new turbo!

@ Daleo....I've had the nightmare of doing that about 5 times now.......lucky the Valve wasn't open!....not that it would fit down there.

@Ian.....soft mate....soft.

@Andy.....do I really still owe your favours......there's gotta be another way to work it off! :whistling:...lol!

Yeah , once I had the torch I wasn't worried, but when it happened... NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

Must be a visit to the drags on the cards pretty soon.

Edited by Daleo

Give me a week or 2 and then I will be ready.

The aim is to do the turbo on a hoist as it will be much easier than at Craigs place. And he has all the car stands on his hover car... lol

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
