:O I didn't even see that kind of cash for my 30th! :/

Indeed! Well, I didnt receive it for my 21st I mean :D Geeze you did alright Aaron, wanna swap parents? :D Whens it all going in?

it looks quite good nick although im sure its not hard to clean grease off an old starter motor.

hopefully have the old girl back on the road tomorrow evening !

suprisingly business has done a complete reversal and now im snowed under with christmas work which im very happy about.. when it rains its snows i guess.

lol yeh that quote..

this is the tail - lights, some people dont like em. some do.

i thought they're alright, just a boredom thing

looks like you went a bit hard on one side and not the other ?

unless its the reflection of the shot but it looks like one reverse light is really bright and the other you can barely see?

thats so illegal here ;)

looks good though!

lol for some reason my ARX has one reverse light and the other is a red "rear flood light" it would look even more weird if i left it red. Reason i did it so dark is because I still need to clay/cut and polish it. it becomes lighter and becomes as smooth as the paint..

Not weird or that uncommon; its part of the cold pack - You have a reversing light and a rear fog light ! Its like a winking face :P

Hello Guy`s ,

Would you PLEASE USE CHAT THEARD & NOT THIS THEARD TO CHAT,i come to see what`s happening with People`s Car`s & it CHAT ONLY :whistling: ,

Thankyou :thanks:

Agreed with Chuckie - you all know that I don't have to moderate this area much because you all do the right thing 99% of the time, so let's do the same here, please!

Car chat about modifications to your cars (and the occasional shit-stir about those mods) is fine, but let's keep the rest of the chat to the right thread: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/342557-this-is-the-new-recipe-chat-thread/

LOL, I saw a news article the other day about someone decorating a marijuana tree with Christmas decorations.

Edited by Jetwreck

haha I've been there often enough.

(and just so it's not off topic)

I looked at my engine sitting on a stand with new bearings and remilled sump adapter ready to go back in :D

Craig. Dont give up man! im sure nissan can find the problem and have it sorted! if they don't, can we swap headlights before you burn it?

LOL!

German authorities yesterday said that a 21-year-old man in the southern city of Munich had been detained with a homemade Advent calendar with cannabis behind each little door instead of chocolate.

Fkn druggies :rolleyes:

So, The mrs cooked me a little steak the other night with some kinda honey mustard marinade...

Fkn thing was so thick it had to be twice cooked, which took aaaaaaaages, and it induced a quiet sit in the smallest room of the house for half an hour the next morning, the proceeds of which would have made the lower house of federal parliament proud....

but it was all worth it :D

    • Sorry, just assumed that talk of coloured pads meant EBC red/green/yellow/shit stuff. I don't know the DBA pads, but it's a reasonable bet that they will be OK. DBA make good stuff generally. Those 4000 series rotors I linked to are very good. I may well replace the RDA rotors I have with those when required.
    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
