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)

    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
    • LOL, when one "money pit" is never enough Noice, and excellent work mate
    • I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed
