OFF TOPIC: Due my computer continue same problems as yesterday, so I have to upload other short-updated, likely it will be Part 1.5.
I'm apologise about it, my computer use be fine before but now, it kept doing weird thing happening.


The return of godzilla.
Part 1.5 of II.

Part 1.5: That so cheap high-mileages Skyline?!
Date: Saturday.

Great news! The insurance company asking me 8,000 V$ is okay for me but I said no, so I did sent proof of receipts and my builds to them, and they understood why I said no, they are happy to offer the final price is 20,000 V$. Bit loss, but better than nothing. I accept it and they did automatically adding into my bank.

Yesterday, I was reading the newspaper and I looking at car sales page, I notice high-mileage Skyline have cheap price but it have over-heating problem and most garage have give up solving the problem. I could give try to fix it, I think garage may don't checked head block, I could take out head from my old RB25DET, if scrapyard allowing me to remove head, since it have modifeld RB26 head. I been cut out and hide their contact details for personally protection so I can show you.



Bit out of price range, but I could ask them 20K V$ with my old R33's GTS S2 front end, that laying around my garage and I was going to sell it next week, but it better what is your thought about it? Sadly, that R33 are non V-Spec, that why it is cheap.

I done research they about same price range;
(Just click it, they have link with it.)
1 - NISSAN SKYLINE GTR 1997 (23K V$)
2 - NISSAN SKYLINE GTR 1997 (12K V$)

Also, I notice V-Spec version use be around 32k but non V-Spec are cheaper.
Should I get it or nah, let me know.

Part II will be out, after my computer is fixed.

Wallet;
Before total price ~ 1,723 V$
Paycheck! ~ + 470 V$
Insurance cash ~ + 20,000 V$
After total price ~ 22,193 V$

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.
