Hey mat,

Emma has told me her dad won't be in gosford for the night before Wakie! Do younknow if there's any vacant places for Thursday night???

Ruxis, just do an early morning run to Wakie...

Theres bugger all traffic at 4am in the morning, you'll hit sydney at 6am, miss most of the traffic when the sun is rising and get to Wakie by 8ish.

Thats probably when I'm leaving. The old man is probably tagging along with me to come spectate, he used to have a stack of old cars like a couple of worked LJ Torana's, VK Group A Brock Commodore etc...wish he didnt sell them. He's even been talking that he wouldnt mind doing a track day in the S15 haha.

Also, found out my aunty sold an immaculate 260z (with original bonnet scoop - rare as f**k) for $2000 several years ago because it had engine problems. Facepalm.jpg. My uncle did something similar when he sold his SLR5000 Torana for bugger all (ages ago due to packing the shits from getting hassled/defected by the police all the time).

Moral of the story, don't sell nostaglia vehicles, HOLD ON TO THEM haha.

Could do man but that's f**kin early to then race around all day and I'm only going for the Friday.

I could stay with my folks but that's a 3 hour drive still. Suppose leaving at 5 isn't to bad.

See what happens. Could even stay at a town near ghoulburn

Don't want to modify the stock rail to get my larger bore injectors in - so i'm ordering a 11mm billet rail.

Just wanted to know if the stock regulator can be removed so i can reuse it or if i had to get a new one. Been in the middle of butt f*ck know where atm, i can't just go look at the car to find out ...

Ohhhh.... Aftermarket are cheap enough if you cant use it anyway man!

As in motels etc? Should be plenty man! Jump on Wotif and have a look, should be able to get a cheap room for a night with a park for the car etc........

I think the adrenalin from racing around the track will keep you going haha.

Matt, I've sent you a PM

and just realised you have organised someone to do the paint, so my PM will be irrelevant haha!

Yeah all good! Thanks for trying tho.........

Yep fouled plugs will give you a nice miss as you come on boost.

i'd be asking y did they foul too! you may be running rich down low - i.e. time for new o2 sensors.

    • No. GKTech arms have spherical bearings in them. No bushes. You will not need bushes for those arms. The sphericals are a bit of a maintenance nightmare. I have replaced all of mine several times in the 5 or so years I've had them, and I have the arms out regularly to clean and lube the balls. Worth the pain on an R32, because the standard arm design is trash. If you need the camber adjustment, there are other options (than the GKTech ones), although I would still lean towards and prefer the GKTech ones, even with the maintenance load of the sphericals. The caster adjustment is also highly valuable, allowing for setting the car up to drive straight. There are a million options for these, including the GKTech ones. I've had Tein rods on mine for 20 years and the balls are much less trouble in that location. Never given me a moment's pain. All positives, no negatives. I consider them compulsory.
    • Lol yeah I ordered the clips mentioned and as far as the amayama diagrams go i think thats all I'll need. Fogured id ask, sometimes people's first hand experience doesnt always match up to diagrams haha, i guess I'll wing it and worse comes to worse I'll just deal with it as I go
    • Thanks for all that information I appreciate it. To answer your questions: - Yep that's what I mean. These guys are professional painters to so I must be missing something. It's a bit hard to explain. - With the primer landing on clearcoat, I make sure that the surrounding clearcoat is scuffed to 240 grit as my epoxy primer says that I only need to sand the area to 240 grit. - Yeah so similar to the first question, assuming that the paint landed on the unscuffed clearcoat because I've seen that happen. - Yep I want to prep the surface in that order. Only reason because epoxy primer will protect it from rust and I need that atm with this crappy Sydney weather. I think I was worried about time, if I try to put the filler down but screw it up somehow and I don't have time to sand it off and reapply it then need to put primer later that it might start to rust again so I wanted to apply the primer as quick as possible to not deal with rust.  - I just deleted some answers, I just realised after watching a video and what you said about looking at the data sheet, that I need to read the data sheet on the specific filler I'm using. It's possible now that I put epoxy primer first was a waste of time and need to go to bare metal lol
    • I did. I went to a suspension guy and he told me because I don't have adjustable camber arms it's the reason why my car veers towards the left if I take my hands off the wheel but if I drive my other every day car and take my hands off the steering wheel it goes completely straight. I think it's common with Skyline's. In order to fix the problem, I likely need gktech camber arms then nismo bushes since I have poly bushes atm, then a wheel alignment after that. With my car if I take my hands off the steering wheel on a really bumpy road before stopping at a light I have to hold my steering wheel somewhat tight otherwise my car will legit just go completely in the other direction quite quickly and I'll slam into something lol instead of stopping straight. I Believe this YouTuber had the same issue and fixed it with gktech arms. At timestmap 6:05 he talks about how the car doesn't veer anymore after installing these arms.  
    • hello! does anyone have a schematic that shows how to test the blower motor resistor for the vac system? i believe the part# is 27761-15U00. I think the resistor is toast, but would like to be able to test it somehow before i embark on the journey to find a new one. cheers! 27761-15U00
