And you bought it during my absence.

Maybe I should leave again so someone will buy another kickass car.

Oh hey, can it be me? Plz?

Got a care package from Japan.



The car already has all the sensors installed. So just need to plug in the defi link controller and mount up the gauges.

Water temp, oil temp, oil pressure and boost. All in metric, No big deal though. They found my first choice of red gauges, so thats cool.

Lol I thought I was in your 300ZX thread and was wondering how you got Defi gauges from Japan before I did when you said you weren't even going to get gauges for your Z.

Then I realized I was in your GTR thread. :O

Car looks amazing man. That wiring looks like a shit ton of work. I've been there with my 4Runner. Do not want.

I figured that would happen. I'm nowhere near needing gauges for the z. These were part of the skyline deal, so thats why he sent them over to me.

The wiring is the whole cable from sensor to defi link, I already have all those run in the car (came that way). I just need to reinstall a 4 wire cable to power the defi link unit. Then just plug it all in. Probably take like 20 minutes at most. It will take longer to mount the gauges themselves.

Sadly, it would probably be me.

He'd leave and then when he came back I'd have a MK IV supra.

I need help, please.

Don't do it. The Skyline is way better.

That can be fixed.  I knew a guy who had a supercharged SVX with a 6MT.  Those cars never originally came with either a supercharger or an MT.

He sold it for a Miata, which he then added a turbo to.  I think the turbo used was out of a WRX.

Had a fresh set of rs3s being fitted to the panasports today. Buddy called me up, one of the rear rims is cracked at the lip on the inne barrel. Definitely shit I dont need happening right now.

How much garage space do you have?  Looking at your pictures, looks like there's room for one, plus a lift for another and lots of room to work.

But you have like a million cars.  Do the rest sit outside?  A carport even?!

I have a 3 car lower and a 3 car attached. The lower is split with 2 stalls in a large open area with a lift in one stall, the 3rd stall has a divider wall and door. It is primarily a wash or park stall but has some filtration set up which makes it a half ass paint booth.  My truck (daily) sits outside, so right now I have 3 cars, not counting the 65 mustang I'm trying to get rid of and the temporary miata that I'm gutting.

FlatBlackCaddy

Once the kit gets done I'll have 4 to shuffle between 6 stalls. So there is certainly room for a 5th, don't know what that will be. I'd still like a 986 boxster s, they are pretty cheap.

No drugs, and I really don't even make that much money. I'm just obsessed with cars, and financially reckless.

Update from a while ago, been dragging my feet with posting pics and updates.

So I was just standing around one night after working on the Z, enjoying a few beers and smoking a cigar. When I got a bug up my ass about removing the HID kit from the GTR.

Next thing I know the front is taken apart(headlights are a bitch to get out) and i'm pulling wire.



Was a lot more garbage than I thought, multiple boxes and a lot of wire. It really was a mess.

Actually tared out a box and decided to weight all of it, almost 5 lbs of garbage.



Also buffed up the lights and sidemarkers, one was pretty rough(sidemarker). Had a big scratch in it and just looked like shit. Buffed up real nice, like new.



Got it all back together and the next day I washed up the engine bay and shined her up.

What type of headlight bulbs did you replace the HIDs with?

Just the factory fit halogen bulb, it was just a run of the mill sylvania at the local auto store. I think it might have been on the lower end, one step up temp wise.

I don't drive at night too often, I checked them out after the changeover and they were fine.
