fkn frustrated with the car atm, paints gone to shit, alarm is playing silly buggers, and today the indicator decided its not going to cancel any more FFS!!! 
That was me a year ago. Me and Dave test drove it. Pulled hard at 7000. Dave broke the ton in a 60zone. Breaked solid, handled awesomeness? Stalling on the way home after purchase. misfire 2 days later, front brake discs and pads died, steering stopped centering, holes in exhaust, radiator shit it's self, immobiliser shut ignition down. Rear seats had no bolts, doors wouldn't shut. Intercooler pipes leaked, tyres had chunks and holes from ridiculous camber. new coil packs, plugs. Oil change. Rack rod ends, castor arm bushes. Full exhaust, new front slotted rotors and pads, lifted ride height, rewired immobiliser and spaghetti under dash. new cat x 2, blew the 100cell ceramic to bits and melted it. New master and slave cylinder sleeved, clutch fork came off pivot ball, new gearbox oil. New diff oil, diff chattering bad, Ford lsd paste fixed it. Stereo crackling and not working, full custom install, new tyres. And foot settings. Air con compressor clutch sized, new compressor. Cleaned Iacv replaced solenoid. A/c whirring noise in dash now and rattling. Revs dropping to 500rpm when a/c fan cuts in. Load on alternator. Rattle near turbo under full load and running rich. Easy outed and replaced manifold and turbo bolts. Blatantly refuse to fix anything else till the turbo fins enter the exhaust. 1 full year of skyline ownership. ;-)

I can hold my cool for 3 or 4 mins then it all goes in the bin lol
That's why the bouncers took martin's I/d, imagine the big bald headed unit cutting loose chocking the f**k out of a tiny Japanese steering column, scary>:)

R34 the Manual is so good, think my 4th synchro may be on its way out.

215 as an auto then 245 as a manual he said he did see 250 on one run but couldn’t find it, also he didn’t do a full solid power run for show.

Next time or any dyno days coming up would be keen for a run!

Now I want to go for a cruise in the hills!!

Nice!

My old auto on a hot day made ~190rwhp (not that you can compare 2 different dynos), still nice results!

If you wanna go for a cruise we should do it while I have this (it's not turbo though)

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
