How many faithful skyline owners have just had or are about to have exams??

I just finished my exams for semester 1 of my forth and final year of uni and gees it feels good. I found that the best way to clear the head after studying all night was to grab the car keys around 11.30pm and take a half hour cruise before bed. I believe this made me perform better the next morning whilst writing for 3 hours lol. Anyway does anyone else have any tips for those that are in the middle of the terrible exam revision period???

well i just found out i passed my CPA taxation exam. so pretty happy.

the only tip i have is that if you dont feel like studying, dont. you wont get any benefit just sitting there staring at a book. You really have to be in the 'mood' if thats ever possible :(

After having the hardest two exams of my life last week (3rd year fluid mechanics and thermodynamics) I found it really relaxing to lay a big fat smokey burnout as i left the carpark at caulfield race course.

Didnt help me get any smarter, but boy did it make me feel like a rebel that just didnt care.

last one tomorrow :) i should be in bed... unfortunately the skyline is in for some panel work (got rammed up arse) so theres no stress relief available there :D

I managed to learn Management 101 in 3 days, I was just lucky they asked stuff on the exam that i actually knew though.

hahahahaha... man, the caulfield race course carpark has officially screwed my suspension... sOOo many half metre deep pot holes and the traffic is shocking... can take hours to leave the stupid oval...

whenever i exit, i routinely scrape the sh*t outta my front bar and do exactly ditto as what you wrote above... hahaha... unintentionally of course...

    • 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.
