Update

Bunky Madness
Well the bunky has had some work on it lately. Worked out why the car doesn't start, the immobilisor has an earth that is pretty shickingly poorly connected. Give it a wiggle and it starts, damn it... I was ejoying kicking it to get it going again. Bloody thing

I put on some DIY Tint.. Now DIY Tint is something that I recomend to anyone that is keen, except the back window, that was crap!! THe side windows are basically perfect, would be better if I actually properly cleaned the windows before applying the film, but oh well.. THe rear window though is angled in two directions, so it doesn't go on nicely... Oh well, shit happens. The rear window adds to the bunkyness.

The bunky got some panel damage the other day too.. Nope, not by me, unfortunately. by some guy in the Eagle Boys car park, I came out with Pizzas and he said he thinks he scratched my car, I just said "Cool, give me a look.." it was basically nothing, a tiny little crease dent adn some paint from his car, I said it adds character and as long as his car is okay, then I didn't care. On his way out he almost hit the bunky againa dn two other cars..

GTR
I did a little work on the GTR too, simple stuff, just fitted the Turbo Timer, finally, fitted the Ultra Speed Meter again and put the M'S ATTESSA Drag launch controller back into the car. quite happy with it all so far, also gave the interior a good clean withe Meguiars Dash and Trim Foam, which coincidentally has quite a nice smell to it.. I thought that I had wokred out how to turn the SAU ATTESSA controller into 2WD mode, by holding the down button for 2 seconds it goes hard Red, this seemed to put it into 2WD mode, but then I realised later that it was still driving the fronts, just not as hard as it normally would.. Oh well, it still means a fues out job for 2WD..

Ordered in my parts for the GTR the other day too, some nice parts in there..
Do Luck Rear Cross Brace - Clicky here for Brace - Always wanted one
Trust Extension Dump/Front Pipes - mmmm Pipes - I need to get rid of that stocko front pipe combo, so this is probably the best way to go, nice long collector for the wastegate..
TEIN EDFC - EDFC - After I was supplied with the wrong one, wrong sized motors, I can now finish off the installation, I will only be using the motors and the control unit, the rest will be sold with what I already have.
Tomei HICAS Lock Kit - Bye Bye HICAS - Cos I am not sure what effect HICAS is having on my car, but I want it gone anyway :) lol....

Bunky
The Bunky got a service and I have noted a few things, the timing was too far advanced, explaining why it pulled so damn hard in the top end, the plugs were in very very good condition with alsmost perfect color, the oil was thin and the top end of the head was a little dirty from the crap oil. I sealed up the rocker cover with RTV silicone around the seal to prevent any more oil leaks. I ripped out the A/C idle up solenoid and screwed around with some other stuff, inclduing tightening up of the engine mounts yet again.

GTR
After the little hose blowing issue on the GTR the other week, I decided to finally fix it on Saturday night, while the pipe was out I cleaed it inside and out with kero, which was both good and bad.. Good as the pipe won;t slip anymore and bad becuase it took me 40 minutes to get it back in.. Oh well, it is back in now and tight and doesn't look like coming off in a hurry.. The car performed well on Sat night, mostly jsut cruising around, got pulled over for an RBT, ntohing too drastic.

Site
The Site now has a Gallery added at this link Clicky Here!! Essentially I am hoping to get this going and put some pictures and stuff in there over time.

P-E-A-K
The site for P-E-A-K is about to get a bit of an update, hopefully.. I have handed off some of the information for this to the new President and hopefully in the future it will move forward from where I left it 5 months ago.. I think the new owner will be a bit more active with it.. Check it out here P-E-A-K
