rock up

smelt of smoke, cigarette in the ash tray

wouldnt go into reverse properly

bonnett doesnt line up

rear bar different colour

both diffs clunk going at low speed around a round-a-bout

at least it had no rust

fkn lol some people are just dream boats

the first one I looked at was probably the worst car I have ever seen... never reg in aust and was clearly an ex track pig in japan:

evo VII

- rust... rust everywhere

- stereo missing

- harness mounts still in car preventing seat from moving back

- seats ripped and bolster destroyed

- every panel from a wreckers from a different car

- every single panel a different shade of white

- no panels lined up at all

- both rear tail lights cracked

- rear smashed in and badly repaired

- front smashed in and badly repaired with visible welds in engine bay

- guage mounts on car drilled into dash

- sound deadening removed from underside of car

- entire bottom of car completely rusted and half assedly sprayed black before sale

- odo clearly wound back by 100,000

- wheels cracking and rusted in parts

- engine clearly returned to stock for export from j-land (all bolts rusted and seized except where performance parts bolt on (turbo etc)

car looked mint in photo's.

guy was asking 19k and wasn't willing to drop the price a dollar lol

he got angry when I told him why I didn't want it and that I wouldn't even pay $5k for it

told him to sell it in parts if he wants to see even 10k

I drove 1 hour to see that piece of shit :/

Can confirm food by Vu De Monde chef was awesome

sweet... details of any sort to follow?

When I put in two wheels (18x9.5, or 17x9 (same rolling diameter with tyres on)) into the back of the 33 with rear seats in, it pushes against the trim panels squeezes them in about 1cm... So two wheels car sit side by side just fine and then two more stacked on top...

Not sure how they'd go standing upright (same orientation/direction as if they were on the car), but I don't put them in like that in case I need to brake hard :P

If I'm just putting two wheels in the back seat, I normally have one sitting flat, and the other sitting on an angle on top of it. Doesn't push against the side trims that way.

E85 economy is as follows

44 litres cost $53 today and netted me 238km, with fairly aggressive driving as per dat newfound power.

From this, we can deduce that 400km (my usual tank fill up point on 98 unleaded) would require ~74 litres at a cost of ~$89, which is only a few dollars more than I would spend on 98 to get the 400km (probably just over $80).

Be interesting to see if E85 and 98 sit on par for cost at my next fill up, given less aggressive / more daily driving with the current tank. But so far...

In car news, yesterday arvo was in my mate's car (8mr) and went up to Arthur's Seat for kicks as we were nearby in Rosebud... Nek minnit, R32 skyrice getting very much sideways action going on chasing us haha. Dem ballz.

Also saw what I think was one of those ferrari/lambo experience days.

    • 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. Simples
    • Ok, disregard my “rate them” comment, sorry for my unrealistic input
