Glenn: As per last night, won't have car back. Will probably come along to lend a hand. Will bring my tools and stuff anyhow. Might do something to the r31, dunno.

kinda looking forward on working on your car though :D

seeya tmr then.

that one is around $250..

a bargain basement one will just bother me.. i might be keeping the r31 for a while as just a thrash around car. Even that one i'd put in another car. It'd actually be better than the model i have in my r33 (which was the older model)

yeah :D i'm a bit pissed over it too.. but panel beaters its one excuse after another, and then one day when u least expect it they say "hey, your car is done".

The main concern in the r33 is the brake fluid.. up nebo the other time i was getting brake probs on the way down.. bit of a worry. Gearbox and diff is fine, but time they were changed. I mean i've done 30,000km since i've had it, and they have never been changed.

Oil, sparkplugs and the filters i've changed regularly.. but not the other more longterm stuff

this indicate i need a good rub-down...

any recommendations? :D

Warwick told me of a good place the other day. YOu need to book in online before you turn up though. http://www.squizzlovepalace.com.au

apparently the first inch is free, and they offer a "full service" whatever that means. Or so warwick tells me.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
