Yeah Prank, it's who you think it is.

No luck today picking up my skyline, salesman didn't know anything about my car and the boss went on holidays to the snow.

The boss promised me he would pass all relevant information and paperwork to his salesman before he went away on the chance that today my car would be ready to register.

Another entry gets written on my webpage about this saga.

The salesman didn't even know where my car was. It would be interesting if my car has made the trip to the snow...

I've told a lot of people i'm getting the car and people have seen it being driven around with trade plates by the boss of this company.

I've taken a pic of the number of Ks the car had done when it arrived off Botany wharf at their workshop. Might have some words when I pick up the car if the Ks are significantly different.

I'll give you a call when I get word it's ready Prank.

JiMbO, it's not as bad as it sounds.

Its a young crew (owner is 24) and they don't seem to be very organised.

The problem is, he is trying to sell more cars than he can handle so a lot of the customers are having to wait.

My car and a couple of others he imported were kept for over a month by customs because they were "red flaged" or "red something-ed".

They arn't bad, they can't handle the work they have (they also do the compliance work). They make promises that they have no control over eg. I've heard "It will be here next week" about 4-5 times.

They have just had a bad trot with wiating for cars from the wharf (which is out of their direct control).

So do I.

I've asked Prank to come down with me when I pick up the car to make sure it isn't a lemon.

I haven't driven a turbo car before and i'm use to my 1.6l laser. I'm unsure how they should perform so i've asked someone who is local for some help.

Prank has been nice enough to give up his time to take my car for a fang around the streets of Manly... he seems like a very good bloke.

Maybe this week is the week I get my skyline... I hope so anyway.

BTW, what is tech support like? I graduate at the end of the year and am looking for a job as a programmer or similar.

    • Yes, I know🙄 but the sequential is not in my budget... don't want to reduce power neither, so looks like I'm stuck in the rabbit hole🤣
    • You’ll be very upset when you bust that too not to mention the gearing totally sucks. Don’t do it.
    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
