nice id like to spend it but i think this year like last it will just go into my savings and try and turn it into even more monies.. thinking of tipping a toe in the stock market.. but will see may end up wasting it but no skyline this year so that'll help me not spend haha

The fiscal responsibility is so boring! Wheres all the hookers and coke?

Just sorted all my paperwork Fk me I've paid alot of tax in my relatively short working life

And does anyone else hate poor man logic - you earn more so it's fair to pay epic tax

So what's fellow wasteland brahs hoping to get back and what y'all planning to buy?

First time getting negative gearing. Should get back a bucket load! Smart choice is to pay off mortgage to unlock more equity, fun choice is micolour respray.... We can't have Mohomo having the best r32 around here ey

The clear came out flat as glass, just needs a light polish :)

f**k spending anymore than 3-4k on a car worth <10k or of that age. You get a MiColour job and you'll be cursing yourself for every little stone chip and scratch.

Yeah and no one wants to come last in that!

How's your golf ball doing? ;)

lol fair call, actually going through the same motions as you...thinking of bogging it...cause they are only slight dimples...and cheap respray.

My respray was 2.3 I think closed door same color I was quite happy with it wasn't u know best paint job on the planet but Fark me it's a skyline not a lambo

I hear where you all coming from. Although Have already had the front resprayed by micolour.

I'd rather pay for a good job because once you notice the paint runs, dust/dirt, flat spots and orange peel on a poor paint job your eyes will always catch it. You can fool the everyday joe shmoe but each time you wash the car you will kick yourself for a shit job.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
