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

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
