just for the Shiggles :laugh:

but yeah it's so damn close on colour and it's sporting the same front bar too.

Wish I had my engine out when I resprayed it. looking at how good this one is :/

Lulz were had.

Now to start saving Mwahaha

Tokyo Auto Salon

Checked the head tension today, all good.

Found a small hose had come off, the tiny one under the throttle body. could be my boost problem.

Made a tool for the head bolts, very simple, just chopped a 10mm allen key.

Pic wont load.... anyway i ended up with a 10mm hex shaft and just used a 10mm socket on the torque wrench.

i just finished building one that really couldnt be registered and sold it and bought a WRX as a fun daily with the R33 being a track car seeing as it would cost me a little to much than i would like to get it re registered..........

But now i am considering selling it as the wife is getting a little fed up with the car yard I call a front lawn.

Most I have ever put in mine is about the same at 1.57 a litre. Too close to the bottom to think about it :(

Being $1.71 a litre at the moment it would cost from near empty close to $120

Be nice to go back to a dollar a litre

Nostalga break

I'm so old, when I started pumping fuel it was about 11c-14c a litre.

Shoulda heard people whinge then - Bahahaha

and that paid my wages to check oil, water, tyres, pump fuel and clean windscreens as well as rent on the site and the fuel plus the profit for the owner - WTF!

Nothing like a public holiday for plenty of time to work on the car :)

Just spent this morning cleaning out the afm because I think she's running a little rich. Afm was nice and black and whatnot. Sprayed her out with some brake cleaner and its looking brand new :)

Removed the manual bleed boost controller and set up the standard system so that I can pass my second rego inspection :)

And now to get started on tightening the right handbrake.. 5 minutes in, calipers off now for the rotor.. Which requires getting off that big ass 36mm nut. Turns out biggest we've got here is 32, biggest everyone we have contacted has 32. Supercheap only sells up to 32 and nothing else is open on a public holiday.. Why nissan why!! Still waiting to hear back from a few people about sockets. But all in all, been a not too bad day..

    • What an awesome idea to fit the facelift Lamborghini Diablo headlights. They are a perfect fit!
    • An update regarding the registration with the DVLA I sent off the paperwork the day after I collected the car from the port, two weeks later it was all returned with a letter explaining they have rejected the application. This was because the cheque was £20 short for the road tax (I used a price list I found online). Nevermind it is what it is, it was sent back to them the following day with a new cheque. Fast forward another 2 weeks or so, I called them for an update to be told it had been rejected. Yesterday (16th September) I received the documents back along with another letter, this time it was because I didn't put an X in one box on the V750 (personalised number plate certificate), which declared that I had the rights to the personalised number plate. Why this wasn't mentioned in the first rejection letter, I don't know, but it could have saved this headache. The documents were sent back today, so fingers crossed third times a charm and it'll FINALLY be registered on the road just in time for the bad weather (woohoo!) To cheer myself up I lowered the front 25mm, was sick of seeing it sit like a monster truck. No idea how much clearance I'll have getting on and off the driveway, I'll worry about that when I can actually drive it
    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
