Fresh home, fresh start.
Date; Friday 27th September

I was fairly busy, my work and moving to the new house, but finally the RP update are here!
I haven’t got time to taking the engine head off because I was packing items for moving to the new house, so I use compression tester and inspection camera. I remove spark plugs cover, coil and spark plug. I noticed spark plug at third cylinder have wet condition, which is it wasn’t good. I tested all cylinder compression, third cylinder is showing problem. To save myself time, I used inspection camera equipment, very handy. That allow camera going into cylinder without taking head off. I inspected third cylinder, I noticed it have cracked damage. I was amazed myself, other garage done shit job for changing head gasket without noticing crack was there.

So, I need new engine to replace cracked damaged RB26DETT, I don't have money for it so I'm saving up.

After sort out of new house with my girlfriend, and I am currently living in Tokyo and I have different jobs, I give my business garage to someone, because I do not want to travel 2 hours forward and come back, so I work at the supermarket shop.

I have ordered front grill and Hakosuka GTR badge 4 days ago, the badge was in bad condition, the red paint was flaking off and chrome is less shiny, so I given bandage perfect restore it, and the result is, they look way better, fresher, also save money for buying better condition. I only paid the good price for front grill without badge and Hakosuka GTR badge, 210 V$ but add 10 V$ for restore material.





So what plan next…?

Unfortunately, R33 will be out of action at the moment due to shortage of cash. Yea, that totally sucks, but at last I keeping her. Speaking of, I have planned R33 get back on the road somewhere in January 2020, so I have enough time. I need new early winter beater vehicle, maybe Toyota Corolla, or something…

Oh, I forgot, I am given my R33 new nickname is White Knight. I thought it was perfect nickname.
