Fark that
 
We have our own restaurant now at the bell tower. Colin said we all get lifetime 1/2 price meals and free drinks :408_beers:

Menu looks pretty delicious and reasonably priced for skylines in the city? Ferris buleah and Carrie Bradshaw can't come. But I'm all for Samantha, Charlotte, Miranda and Mr big. They didn't crash their dad's Ferrari?

why is it apart?

Just tidying up a few things. Pulled the intercooler flushed and cleaned. Pulled all the pipe work and swaged all the piping. It had poxy welds on it for the hose clamps. went over the Ali welds and s/s welds on the boost and intake side re-welded and pressure tested because it was messy welding. The exhaust leak on the cat flanges was because the ceramic substrate had come loose and was rattling. (like you said for lifter rattle/check for exhaust leak) redone all the tubing got a new viscous coupling and fan coming (Nissan oem) because the fan had some cracking. all new clamps from work and get rid of the black silicone hoses and replace with all Blue silicone to match the engine bay. I had re-worked the tubes before but still had clashing issues but done properly now. New tomei shifter to replace gay sparco one and venom 100cell cat with 3" in/out and 5" metal substrate to replace the ceramic. I've put new coil packs in aswell and iridium plugs gapped to 0.8. Just done a oil change plus gearbox and diff oil l.s.d. Paste not long ago. Wouldn't mid a tune to see how it's running. Probably won't make much difference to power as is running pretty sweet.

General house keeping. My ideas about welding and mechanical fitting are obviously different to the previous owner's. No biggies.

Just a refit on some stuff that was pissing me off everytime I opened the hood. Got a Cusco rear brace on the way to match the front and will get rid of the poxy 12" sub taking up the boot space and replace with a piano hinge properly fitting to swing up and down for battery and amp spare wheel access etc. Etc.

Had the car off the road for a bit when I bought it and just tidied stuff up. Not a daily so will do stuff a bit better with some cash and time up my sleeve?

You know Trev R&D. Double door combustion engine:-)

Replaced the cords on 2 roller shutters on the w/end and have 3 new weather proof fluros coming for the patio and car port this w/end. Re done all my home tools last w/end and make up 3 new tool boxes one for mechanical one for electrical and one for marking and measuring. Been in the office at work so canning the weekends!

Or bourbon or whiskey:-) I replaced all the valley cover bolts (it only had 2 in it) with 5mm s/s Allen heads with anti seize and s/s flat washers when I done the coil packs and tarted up the wiring so thought it would save me from pulling and checking it for a while.

I don't run the valley cover, then I can change plugs without removing pipe work.

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
