up early and out.

Another awesome drive from South to North and through town via Mitchell on the way back.

Long line of traffic heading out to the Nats along Northbourne.

Happy to be travelling in the opposite direction

Thought I'd see a few nice cars in my travels, but no such luck.

Must all be inside the showgrounds. Last place I think I'd want to be today.

(Must be getting older/grumpier- crowds, kids and bogans shit me to tears)

Teenagers not kids, im still a kid. :laugh:

$12 garage floor seal today..... its not real permanent, but will keep the dust down for the next few months.

Should be enough time for a paintjob.

My floor makes a lot of dust, as i made the mix of cement a bit wrong on a couple of sections.

So a $12 bottle of pva glue, mixed with equal parts water, (8l gave 2 coats) and a $1 rolling sleeve.

First i swept, blasted it with a leaf blower about 5 times and finally a wash with a pressure washer to get the rest of the dust off, and make the concrete damp.

Pva glue is the same as Bondcrete, so i figured it should go well on concrete. A small test 6 months ago confirms it.

I saw a black R33 gtst in there on the show and shine, i should have put mine next to it

went to summernats for the first time with my GF, it was alright then what i thought of from others saying how bad it gets but we liked it not a big fan of the burnout so we slipped that area.

Wire Brushed/Sanded one of SkyWagon's tailgate struts - Was ugly with Rust. Painted it black and did the other one to match.

Gave the bolts a hit with the wire brush too but decided not to paint them cooz they came out nice and shiney. :)

Tightened the Handbrake. It almost works now. :D

Washed her well and gave the Bonnet a good Handjob Cut & Polish. Also polished off some Greasy Handprints... Many of those lately.

Put the other half bottle of injector cleaner in the 33s tank after filling her up.

Yes Bill! I Drove the 4Door today! :laugh:

<br /><br />Pirtek in Fushwick or Industrial Supplies in Fushwick opposite shell. To get it welded I would do it for you just have to find time to sneak into my uni workshops otherwise if your in a rush Natrad (Phillip) can tig weld.

Righto thanks man, ill give them a buzz tomorrow and see if they can sort things out for me...

"Yes Bill! I Drove the 4Door today! :laugh:"

Such a nice thing to do, gave her a bit of a squirt ... pumped her full of juice ... and drove it home, that will always keep a girl happy!!

Well done mate, such caring brings a tear to my eye .. :thumbsup:

hahahah o god! that made me cry in laughter :D

NEW Twin Blade wiper blades up front and a Good second hand one on the rear.

Cleaned off some of the dark splatter on the underside of the bonnet.

Fiddled with the Fuel Pump in the hopes it will be happier when getting low on fuel.

(the stock pickup filter sat in a different place on the GTS-t pump so I squeezed the GTS-t pickup filter in there instead.)

SkyWagon also did her First "Practical Car" Duties when we went to Tiny's Shed and bought a better outdoor table.

Now Richard won't be able to spill everyones coffee when he sits down. :laugh:

Think I'm going to have to buy 2 NEW strut top bearings from NISSAN to stop a knock in the front suspension. :(

$163 each x 2 :O or $178 each from Repco.

My Free Replacement 27mm Nolathane Swaybar Bushes should be posted tomorrow. :)

Did a full detail on the GTR.

Turtle wax recently updated a few of their products. I tried some of it (will have to check names when i get home if people are interested). All in all pretty impressed. However i still found the meguiars nxt Gen wax 2.0 felt much thicker and smoother than the Turtle wax. However the turtle wax did an amazing job of bringing the colour back out. So i used the turtle wax first and then the meguiars. Looks fantastic.

The XC90 - Front struts, rear shocks, lower control arms, ball joints, top bearings, sway bar end links, inner and outer tie rods, strut bar mounts and timing belt... gave it a wash

washed the mondeo

GTR sat in the under the cover and i swept arount it :(

Got a Rego inspection done on the SkyWagon today. (NOT AT DICKSON) :P

Despite having Exhaust leaks, a Knock in the Front suspension (Strut Bearings) and Gearbox Weeping, it failed but only for Rear Brake Pads. :woot:

Stoked.

Also I bit the Bullet and bought a Pair of Strut top Bearings... Got Chatty with the guy at Repco and he did me a better price than Nissans Best.

Costly but Stoked. :)

Nissan was gonna be $163 each but could get for $150 each.

Repco was gonna be $178 each but got for $140 each. :banana:

oh and a secondhand EA Falcon Transmission Cooler arrived in the mail too.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
