I find it a little scary that your life can be messed with, for better or worse, simply because of what a computer screen displays...with very difficult or non-existent avenues for getting it changed. It's not corruption proof, but it's fairly repeal proof.

Reminds me of that movie The Net.

GTR registered

No RWC required

:)

Guy did have a weird look on his face when he walked out to see it on Jack's tow truck. Also saw Russell there coincidentally.

Noice!

stick it to the man, man.

saw a strange car on the road today. an older man, driving a de-badge toyota or some sort... i suspect a AE95 JDM sedan. Stock everything except a towel across the back seats. It was beyond pristine. the rear mud guards were like brand new, the paint put most show'n'shiners to shame. the chrome on the (stock?) dual exhausts looked fresh.

Did someone really do a full restoration on what im pretty sure was a late-80's corolla?

Had classic (not historic) white text on black numberplates. the old skool ones before green.

haha did you pull up in the inspection bay with the car on the tow truck? Did they need to check VIN etc?

Yep

I said it has a bad engine knock and I'm taking it to my mechanic before driving it on the road, which is true. He just confirmed the chassis and engine numbers (spent ages trying to read the RB26 engine number, lulz were had), then we swapped the numberplates over and nek minut registered.

We have customers who get the works done on their cars, spend big money on it, THEN go to vicroads to get it registered... Very ballsy!!

Where's your car off to now?

You guys if Chris can give me a date to bring it down - can you go ask him now lol?

haha, lowered it off the tow truck or he climbed up?

Took it off and drove into inspection bay to show that it can be driven, albeit very loudly. Many looks from people before we took it off and even more looks when we started it up lol

Ain't at work today, am debating whether or not to go to the doctors in an hour that's how much I don't want to move :\

you young people have no apprication of hard work, when I was your age I hade to hop to work in the snow as I could only afford 1 sock per year.

then work 20 hours for 1$ a day (thus the saying of another day another dollar) b4 starting my second job as a moving target for the police force.

and I never called in sick.

amidoingitright?

almost.

Better than being trapped inside...

Must take a look at mine as well... keeps getting stuck halfway down... the bolt that tightens onto the motor shaft keeps working itself free and slipping. Time for some locktight me thinks

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
