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. ;-)

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)

    • And I just realised that that advice is slightly nonsensical for a GTR, because you need 2 of them. But it is otherwise true.
    • Having had a reasonable look at the car, I'll be able to remove the (one time) rams and retract the hinge (they are held in the down location by a tiny (m3?) sacrificial screw) which will get it physically back in shape. From there if you remove the rams you need a resistor to turn off the airbag light (as Mark said, there are plug in kits and I might go that way because its reversible). And...per all the threads on here, even if you have the resistors to turn off the airbag light, the bonnet light will stay on as it writes to the airbag computer history - that is either replace the airbag controller, reprogam the EPROM (if I can work out how), or remove the globe from the dash. Having seen how sensitive this system is, if I had my time over I'd pre-emptively remove the rams, even on a road car, because this is all a very unnecessary pain in the arse. Reminds me, time to go and have a look at the Fuga too....

    • Nah, lots of insurance repairs on V36 and V37 for pedestrians deployments. Reasons ranging from possums, to extremely severe potholes have deployed them. However, paying for the full repair can still be upto $5k AU some people have noted!
