Skylines are such a awesome car to be fair, Not many 4 door 34's around either compared to 33's and 32's!

That 4 door r34 is from around donaghmed way. I always seem him around there. He has had it a few years. great to see the older generation enjoying jap cars

The Puglet has had a few ups and downs over the past few weeks but she's back running a dream once again. As with running any older car, constant fiddling and sorting niggles is a way of life. In the past month, I've replaced seat rails, rewired the starter after it chose to dismount itself and then another day the new short shifter went pop on the South Link so the welder came out to sort it. The next bundle of joy was a lumpy idle and poor running at low revs, but once a missing vacuum pipe and ill fitting throttle body housing were sorted the little war horse is back up and running as sweet as can be. She got treated to a 2 hour backroad blast in the rain on Sunday as a treat.





Also, I finally got round to sorting out the final remains of the original blue interior. One of the very first things I did with the car was to swap in a GTi interior and now its a nicer matching space.







Also, a few goodies arrived this morning for the new rally season. Its all about those period correct details for me hahaha

Wasn't gonna sell it with the car running as badly as it was last week so pulled the ad down until I get all the issues ironed out. Added to that the fact that a student budget is getting seriously tight, and nothing (in my budget and strict levels of interest) I've test driven is as good to drive as the Pug. She'll stay a while yet, at least until she becomes un-insurable come renewal date hahaha

The Tipo is a bit of a tight fit in the shed.

The two tone paint looks fab, tell me this though. Do you ever get the wrong attention from the fuzz with the plates?

Not yet anyhow, have them a year now! A particularly anal traffic cop stopped me (only time I have ever been stopped in any car), and complained about the exhaust, which is very quiet and nct db legal as I tried to explain to him. Didn't like my very very slightly stretched tyres. Didn't like my 'modded' suspension, i.e coilovers, but never mentioned the plates! Told me he would take the car off me and get it crushed if he seen me again, nice guy

Ah right.. Plates suit it.. Would ever consider the jap font plates?

Damaged while parked, again. Twice in 6 months. Delicate subject but it really does make me question whether I would stop and leave my details if I bumped someone elses paeked car because clearly nobody ****ing else does.

Noccy_Mondy

Has it pulled paint off?

I have 2 grazes like that, but a fair bit smaller on the back and front bumpers. Don't know how they got there as I'm the only one driving it, and I'm sure I'd know if I hit into something....

JoeA3

^^^^ Very annoying.
I had similar damage repaired on my wife's car last week, €200. Good as new.

A terrible thing to happen, a light colour sand with 2500 grit wet sand paper followed by a compound and polish will sort out most of that.

CianDon

With the wet evening yesterday, and finishing work early, I deceided to redecorate the stable to keep the 60-odd horses happy. You dont get the simplicity of 3 bolts and a screwdriver to remove the rocker cover on a modern car!!!

@CianDon - Out of interest, what's that pipe running from the exhaust heat shield to the intake?? I've never seen something like that before.

The yoke I've been trying to get through the nct.

Tbh i think it looks nice enough, and I kinda enjoy driving it.

Ahhh good old French oddness is what it is more than anything. Its a hot air intake, taking air straight off the manifold and sending it back into circulation. What its purpose is, Im not quiet sure. Have heard things ranging from improving the time needed for the single point injection to warm up right through to making sure the throttle body doesnt stick in cold weather.

Noccy_Mondy

Just a pic or two of the focus. left it like that in the first pic, although it's posing a bit!



All alone along the prom in Galway last night looking out to the sea.

Almost 197km on her now. Only 3k to go til the doors and wheels fall off and the exhaust starts dragging on the ground.

The offset on the rear wheels :eek:
