My family has a lot of cars and projects and stuff.

As soon as the hoist is in I will be there every weekend; I miss my hoist so much.

if i owned my place, id so invest in a 2 post hoist.

so much easier than jacks and stands.

Takes 5 minutes to put a car up and that's me being OCD about the arm placement.

Work on car anytime ftw. Also handy for car storage as long as you have no leaks on the car above. Mates get you alcohol for letting them use it...crazy good.

Drove the skyline to a house on Stud Road, Knox last night,,,, was there from 10pm -> 2am... Came back and there wasn't a defect sticker on my car :D

Drove tp her house again this morning, went to breakfast, on the way back I saw a certain grey haired officer in his Yellow HWP car stopped at the lights about to go straight onto stud road when I was getting ready to to turn right onto Stud Road, in same direction as him... So I went straight instead and avoided him. Did a nice relaxing cruise around knox to Boronia instead. Then as I did my return lap I saw him sitting in the driveway of the Service Station on the corner of Stud and Burwood waiting for someone to come past... I was going the other direction at the time so zero fks given...

Got the whole "Whats the point in owning a car with illegal mods if you're going to get pulled over for driving it" speech from the girl I was with... but she's also someone who screams and yells at you on any sort of boost, so I'll just ignore everything she says...

should have replied with something like...

"what's the point of modifying your face with 25 types of makeup if you're still going to like a bag of smashed crabs afterwards?"

So much subtlety

    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
