You're literally the most boring car guy I know..

At least tune it on E85

Highflows are epic on E85

Turbo is ace, strong as the day I put it in after 40,000km+. I blew a T3 gasket recently cause a nut or two were missing from the flange lol

We replaced that (and tightened manifold nuts which were also loose) in about 3 hours and it's better than ever :)

Now traction is an issue again, even with AD08s :(

hmm christmas bonus.

house deposit or wide body kit...

hard choice

Refresh motor. Use my gaskets.

Leave car rat-spec. GTX turbo. Decimate all.

The pulsar has Nismo key, Nismo oil cap and some random Nismo badge thing on the centre console. Says volume about the previous owner....

The Nismo weighted gearknob is very nice though.

Ran into a guy on site who was at Roy Hill most of this year... Some f**king stories. Sounds like one of the biggest circus construction jobs. Dodged a bullet not going, but could have really done with the work.

Apparently they couldn't find Australians of my profession with experience in a newer Siemens equipment that hasn't been released here... So Samsung send their team over from Korea. None of whom spoke English or had worked in Australia before. Then they needed more, so one of the Zimbabwean managers brings over all his friends. Needed interpreters and constant supervision. Singing and chanting during lunch and in the mess hall. $90/h wouldn't have been too shabby though for 80 hour week.

haha yeah ive heard interesting stories about the construction.

I believe there was a memo published by Samsung which had a photo of tradies standing around on the job; Memo said to performance manage crew & to utilise idle time. Memo leaked onto Facebook & all the tradies blew a gasket.

Korean Management managing an Australian tradie workforce. Will never go down well haha.

You say that but when the entire construction work force has the mindset of "the sooner we finish the job, the sooner I'm unemployed" not a whole lot gets done. Combined with people who have no idea what they're doing and contracting more people who don't know what they're doing and you get $600mil+ over budget and not even close to finishing.

In Queensland last year I think the whole thing was $2bil over. We were the 3rd set of contractors to do exactly the same tasks at the same locations. Was a clusterf**k. Pretty much sums up mining/oil/gas construction jobs. And now that they're wrapping up, all these Muppets from WA, SA, NT and QLD will be looking for more stable work. A large percentage of the skilled workers are foreigners too. Goddamn south African migration on some sites.

motor only ahd 10-15K on it, no need for a refesh there esp with how log boost it is running..

That's either a reeeeeeally cheap house or a reeeeeealy overpriced bodykit

no where near a total deposit, but should go in that account.

think will split it in 2 and get best of both worlds.

    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
    • Well the articals keep saying a Q50s (Skyline in Japan) with a new Manual gearbox. I like the talk about the new looks with the round tail lights. I hope they bring back the retro look like they did with the Z
