Princess, we will be getting on the grog in Mallala... I actually have a spare bed if you want... but you better be quick!

Would have loved spinning spanners and laughing at you and all your gay drifter mates but alas I'll be hillclimbing at Dapto. Looks like our mobiles will get a work-out again. Pull your finger out and finish it or you will be be my "Dan the Spanner man".

Neil.

Yeah I know mate... not too much time now... but I must say I am almost happy that I can't work on it again until monday... I am nearing 525 hours spent on it mostly by myself, huge thanks to Jamie for his technical direction and assistance!!!

We have only now to swap sensors around and bolt the head onto the bottom end... drop it in the car, grab some seats and harnesses and away we go!

Should be running by Wednesday at the latest... then I have to put a piano on it to run it in and try to behave myself... anyone feel like an overnight cruise halfway to melbourne and back!

I'm getting so excited about having it back... can't wait!

Dan.

Sindows, I do have a job, but took some annual leave to get the car back on track.

I can't reveal the news just yet, but I will shortly... should be by the end of next week.

Chris, I'll be at the workshop from about 3pm on monday until who knows when, and same for Tuesday and Wednesday. Look forward to seeing you there!

Cool, just wondered...

How many weeks have you spent on it?

Nissan enthusists are funny.

Most people take annual leave to go on a holiday.

We take it for getting our car on the road/building the car.

Cant wait to see the end product...

GL mate!

Lets put it this way, it was pulled off the road on the 28th of November 2005... and it will be back on the road THIS WEEK!!!! so that is what, a solid 6 months of work on the bloody thing, while holding down a full time job and a casual job, trying to mod my house to keep my wife happy, keeping my wife happy, trying to find some bloody sponsorship, make this documentary, and attempt to breathe somewhere along the line also!!! did I miss anything????

Oh... and I go to get the "Special thing" on Friday!!! Can't wait.

Will be playing with it on Tuesday not far from Sydney...

Gotta love some good suspense!

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
