Lucien, I can't believe you bought a house in leichardt without off street parking. My girlfriend lived on Norton street for 3 years and when she moved there made sure that the place had two secure car spaces. I just bought a place in stanmore, about 2 minutes from leichardt and it has a lock up garage and I wouldn't have it any other way. If you can't build a garage on your property I have to agree with nxtime. sell it up and get a place with a nice garage. parking in wollongong is a bit extreme! and I don't know that it'd be any safer there.

hmmm, maybe I could rent you my garage for a while? either way parking it on the street is bad, and I don't know of any insurance company that will cover you for a GTR that is not garaged. It certainly is a tough problem...

Maybe ask someone in the forum if they'll rent you one of their spots? or ask me nicely if you can rent my full brick, lock up garage in stanmore for a while? :(:)

appart from all that, the car looks great. can I ask where you went for the steam clean?

I didn't buy the house, the parents did, and it was bought a 10 years ago when the issue of offstreet parking wasn't a ... errr.. issue :) Love the house, love the area (except for the fsckers who mess with other people's cars), don't want to move. :)

Thanks for the suggestion re: your garage. At the moment I will confine my search to Leichhardt and see what I come up with. If I get desperate, I might PM you :) My search really hasn't started in earnest as there isn't much of a hurry: the car is in Wollongong so I can work on it off street with the fatherly figure (you know, bonding, blah blah blah) and still has some stuff that needs doing.

Car is insured through NRMA at the moment: I don't think there will be any problems at all ;)

As for the steam cleaning, it was done somewhere in Wollongong (father organised it). I assume you want somewhere a little closer ;) I know that Nathan recommended some guys (who are apparently also on SAU) that do detailing: they might have steam cleaning facilities? Otherwise, just check the yellowpages as there are a tonne of detailing places.

Lucien.

Fair enough. I'm lucky that my parents place is only in chatswood and has 3 lockup garage spaces, and the place I bought in stanmore has one too.

You are very lucky that they will insure you without a garage. very lucky.

i ask nathan this arvo the name of the place.

now I need to stop whoring my own thread :Oops:

so where's all these pics?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞
