Car is much neater, much tighter in every way. ATS clutch rattlesa little when the car is switched off. Rear pads sound a bit squeaky/rubbing but are only a few hundred old.

Everything appears to work etc. No knock on PFC, only 1.2kg boost on the MFD so not a nismo MFD.

Transferring deposit and chasing jap history - see my other thread.

Haha...great thanks! I am really fussy too so we are both on the same page.

Have been plugging away for quite awhile now. Looking for BB VSpec 1 or 2. ?

Edited by Juvo

Yes I was aware of that one but my fussiness extends to a 4.5B grade kinda car! Lol Which is why it's so hard to find one at a decent price. Have missed out a few from Jap Auctions due to my initial ignorance but it's too late now coz the Aud has taken a dive. ?

Great thread ActionDan, I enjoyed the time travel, glad you got "theOne" that you wanted. Some good info in here, just makes me miss my Skyine all the more, good luck with the 34 - I like it much more without the wing though!

Hah get stuffed.

Still chasing Jap history check. I have transferred a deposit...

I may have also sold the MILs Statesman which will be perfect timing to get the shed space back.

My guess realistically for the 34 is a few weeks - jap history check, organise to get back up there etc.

Something that did stand out about the car, I was just thinking about it, has an ATS twin plate carbon in it and when turning the car off there was a pronounced rattle as the flywheel/pressure plate stopped turning.


I'm aware of rattle on idle, but wasn't aware of pronounced rattle on shutdown.

Thoughts?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
