checking what? um doesnt matter going home now. hopefully dodgy battery starts. Idling prob behaves - haha sounding a bit dodgy my car hey!

Well catchya later - maybe tonight - i feel like pizza tho - pizza in front of TV chillin

It appears no one is here. Oh well, just wanted to tell you all I had a slight altercation with a curb today at work, and knocked the corner of my front bar off. Not completely, it was just hanging off, but I managed to get it up off the ground and get it home without hitting the ground.

There was a reason for tis altercation, not just stupidity. Some tool in a 4 wheel drive (not a real one, a Rav 4) had decided she would use a third of my parking spot. Me being me, having earned the best spot in the carpark could not possibly park elsewhere, so I tried to squeeze in. Well, not concentrating, basically got front bar caught on curb. Was caught pretty good, had to really rev to reverse off it.

Best part of the story is not much damage, and I went to a panel beater on the way home, asked him how to fix it and reattatch it, battered my eyelids, and he fixed it right there on the spot for nothing! Husband will never know.

I am a bad, bad woman.

hey good news - well not for my parents but for me - guy in QLD fell thru he saw the RAC report on it hmmm the old girl needs a little bit of work - he freaked and pulled out - its not that bad.

Anyway i get to keep Dino as part of my fleet for a little while longer - yay.

    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
