Me and the Minister of War and Finances went for a early morning cruise, all was going well till I gave it some juice when I hit a  overtaking lane, a car going from 50 to 70 in a 90 zone.

As the 86 overtook the plodder, she said, "what have you done to the car and why does it make whooshy noises".

The gig was up, so I told her that yeap, I had some work done on the exhaust side and a tune.

Pretty sure she was confused with my response, but, not wanting to sound like she didn't know what I was talking about she closed her eyes and went back to snoozing.

Winner winner chicken dinner.

Automotive therapy parts arrived.

Gearbox mount and support bushings.

Why? The OEM bushings have the consistency of marshmallows, this makes the shifter feel so much tighter, tight like a tiger even....plus cheap, and parts were sent to work so they are also my dirty little secret.

NVH may increase slightly, but I did simular with the STI and it wasn't a issue.

Go with @PLYNX this wekeend is mental for me

Tomorrow cake delivery (missus side hustle), then accountant, then planning out our bathroom reno with the builder, then buy shit, then going to Hans Zimmer symphony (because all Skyline owners are sophisticated LOLOLOL)

I didn't go ! ( eyes still twitching ! ! )

I'm planning a Snowy Mountains run around Xmas/new year.

And by plan I mean basically follow this > https://www.ytravelblog.com/things-see-snowy-mountain-drive/

It's pretty that time of the years.

Fitted the bushings.

Didn't really notice any difference in feel as yet.

Maybe when I'm doing some skids the added stiffness in the bushings will show an improvement.

There was an additional small amount of NVH from the Whiteline bushing insert, but not enough to worry me.

Meh, at least they were cheap.

As it's a common fact that I'm an idiot, and a consumer, so, in fact, I'm a idiot consumer, I purchased an Arc catback I saw on the gumtrees.

New cost $1800ish (import monster), I paid some older gent $720 for it,  it's hardly used so if it is too obnoxious it won't be hard to flip.

Job for tomorrow arvo I believe.

Cold start actually sounds quiter.

But way more bass, shit in the garage rattles.

 

Once cold start is over its nice and deep with zero drone.

Sounds really good when I'm wringing its neck.

 

Happy days.

When you give me $60k to give to someone to do it for me.

That should get me a new powertrain and drivetrain, installed and tuned (properly).

Could I just go LS instead????

With you paying and all, I thought it would be polite to ask....

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

Lololol, I can't even pay for my own future M3/4/5 (not picky) how can I pay for your 2JZ swap?

Although if I had to pay for your V8, would be a Ford Coyote motor, none of this push rod aids.

I was going to say it's got to be Subaru, because my Toyota is a Subaru.

Stupid boxer engines, it's either glass pistons or chalk rods.

It has been rattling around loose in the boot for ages.

 

As long as I don't try and drive on the roof of a tunnel I should be fine.

may as well ditch it, in the boot it's just dead weight!

Nah, I've used them on a few cars, but never my own, it only takes a few seconds to get into the boot.

Plus trying to find enough space inside the small cab is a problem, well, it is a issue with a 1.5kg with a hose.

No room in either footwell if you still want to sit in the car and not kick it all the time, nowhere in the rear, plus the rear would take longer to get it than the boot.

Cars tend to burn slowly to start with, from my experience with burning cars anyway.
