Guys, sometimes it might seem like you're not having the greatest day, but check out how quickly luck can turn around.

Woke up this morning (my birthday) still kinda hung over from a massive Easter weekend.

As i'm getting ready to go to work, I get a phone call from the real estate agent telling me that I had been outbid on a house i had pretty much thought was mine :kick:

So I've been sittin at work all day feelin sorry for myself, wishing i was elsewhere.

Until about 4pm.

There was a massive noise outside the office, sounded like someone had crashed into my car. Here are some photo's of the scene that confronted me when i got outside -

Apparently the slasher blade on the boss's tractor hadn't been done up correctly, and as soon as the tractor was started part of the blade (about 10cm wide by 20cm long) broke off and was spat out the back.

As you can see from the photo's, the blade must have only missed my car by about 10cm.

The boss's patrol never had a chance to move...

The boss is still pretty cut up about it, going nuts at the moment on the phone to insurance companies.

It wasn't so much the actual house I was interested in, it was a bit of a hole. Was a pretty decent development opportunity though, as well as the fact it had a massive 12m x 8m garage...

But as you say, another one will come up.

    • Hi SAU family, having issues with my R34GTT which is slightly modified and tuned to e85. so scenario is, I’m driving the car to work (30km oneway) and then coming back in the arvo. Car starts and runs fine in the morning and on the way back home (in the arvo). I stop the car when i gets home and after 10-15 mins, it wont start. Battery is fine, fuel pump seems to be working. All i hear is engine clicks but wont start.  Last time, i disconnected the battery terminals and re connected them. Check fuses. Didnt start at that time but started after an hour (so I say when its cool down). Mechanic cant find the issue as its running now and nothing coming up in the diagnose. any advice,opinion or anyone gone through similar issue.   thanks 🙏🏻
    • 9" +35 will rub on the suspension. R33 GTR wheels are +30.
    • I know a guy with 18x9 +22 on the front of a 32 gtst, needed quite a lot of guard work, tyre stretch (215) and camber. Not sure what your current set up is, +35 won't be as much, but still a fair bit of guard work and camber.   
    • Well as expected the ECU wasn't getting proper manifold pressure reading.  Once I switched to a 3rd vacuum line directly off the back of the manifold the car runs amazing.  Still slightly lean on full throttle but only like 15 AFR, probably fixable with some tuning.
