Snapped a manifold stud in the head today. Was drilling it out so I could use my trusty new easy out set, then snapped the drill bit off inside the damn hole. After 2.5 hours of drilling and 20bucks worth of drill bits...the stud is out.

Found out the oil bung smashes into the AC line when installed. Bought a new fitting. Now I need a new hose barb connector.

Oil line for turbo inlet is a different thread pattern. Used a rosan fitting I just happened to have on a T3 from my last Skyline.

Tomarrow, get new stud from wherever, finish oil line install, patch hole in oil pan since I don't need it for oil return anymore, find my exhaust bolts, install wiring harness and fill up with oil. START CAR!!!!

Ryan, Kate is having surgery on the 22 or I would. She's getting her whole nose structure rebuilt...so she'll quit snoring...lol.

Call me anyway, I may need to get out of the house.

Speaking of setbacks inconjuction with the wife unit. She just got back from NY last night at midnight...so I spent the day so far buying her a computer desk and all the related wireless internet crap....So it will be a late night with the car again.

I'll hook you up with that surgery Tony, sounds like I just need my hammer drill and a bottle of Jack.

My digi cam is gone...I have no idea where I left it. I keep forgetting to borrow my friends. I'd buy a new but all my funds are going towards my cars, my 240 obviously and my Blazer needs a new output yoke on the transmission and all new UV joints since I snapped broke them a couple months back.

Plus I still have to buy a set of drag radials for my car.....
