Wow, where to start...

this thread of links in the maintenance forum would be a good first call. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=35442

A biggie that you may overlook in your haste to get "going" is to make sure there will be no problem stopping!!

i.e. CHECK BRAKE PADS and FLUSH BRAKE FLUID and bleed brakes.

Hope you have the finances to afford to run a GTR as well as buy it....

CUT AS!

i took the day off work so i could be here for when my car came.. and it didnt even come!

i called and apparently its coming tommorow morning now.

i went shopping tho.. bought some turbolight 4100 oil, set of iridium plugs, coolant, injector cleaner, radiator fluch, engine clean and an oil filter :(

congrats anyhow..

just make sure it does *have* oil, has coolant, has brake fluid - then its more than likely you're not going to kill yourself or the car.

I still haven't done all the servicing for mine as it had the above. I figured if it was sitting there for 3-4 months going nowehere, another month of not being serviced going not going anywhere wouldn't matter. Its not like I can drive it anywhere at the moment anyhow.

I was just happy because I fiddled with everything, and everything *worked* (except the aircon... think gas). It's always those minor little things that don't work properly that give you the shits and can be hard to diagnose. That was the best part, knowing that it wasn't an obvious lemon :(

lol...

its ***in awesome man..

so so so clean..

i think somebody unplugged the afm so that nobody could flog it before it got to me.. cuz i thouught mine was broken cuz it wouldnt hit boost.. its all good now...

i think i should have bought a battery the other day :P

had to keep starting it with a charger.. .

it came full of fresh oil, the paint is perfect, sounds great up to 4500rpm.. (thats all i took it too)

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
