Hey ron!

I joined in 06.

Ives seen some familiar faces come and go in the last 6 years!

I remember when you were active on the forum, it is going back some time tho.

As terry asked, what are you driving? and are skylines still a passion of yours?

Cheers adam

Hi guys, yeah been away for a while but really this is the only forum I feel like home.

I still remember back in the days of SDU, and yes I was on there as well.

Also remember the days skyline owners used to just flash hibeams as we past one another (back then Lines were rare, got mine in '99)

I dont have one anymore but still love them to bits, whenever i see all you guys' cars boostin up the street it still give me goosebumps and bring back memories.

I m a tradie now so i drives hiace van everyday, but couple time a week i get to jump in my miss's R36 family car. Til E63 comes that is, just waiting to test drive the current one with 5.5TT

pffft.. damn old timers.

Dam straight :whistling:

Remember SDU well. I joined it in around 1999 - 2000. Still had my R31 GTS2, and was starting to shop for my GTSt.

Fondest memories were arguing with the chequebook racer from hell who claimed that all his developments were his own design / idea (even made some claims insinuating that his ideas were taken up by Cosworth when he got them to do some development on his GTR). Of course back in those days if you dared to question anything he said you'd get shot down (and banned) by his fanboi club. I won't mention any names, but I'm sure those from that era will remember him well.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
