So I lost the keys to my DD (2012 mazda 6) and it will cost $300 to get a new key.  So I'm heading to mothers to fire up the nissan and drive it around some till I can get new keys.  Maybe rolling around in it will get me motivated to do the swap on it.

that should work

slightly shifting the topic. what do you nogs do when you have lots of projects, but little money and time?

my list of things to do is
F23 crx(need to make mounts, bodywork/paint. needs about $300 in various parts but i have everything to make it run)
finish paint booth(no money needed here, just motivation/time)
SBC RWD EF hatch(lots of money and time needed here. i only have a rod knocking 305 and ef shell on hand)
cb750 cafe racer(i have a sorta running stock bike, just need $400-500 to really get the ball rolling)
90 silverado(the end goal is a 6bt with auto swap. for now it has a 4 bolt 350 and 5 speed. i have a 700r4 i need to put in so the 5 speed can go towards the rwd ef. but i need $200-ish in parts to complete the swap)
grm ef hatch(doesnt need much except some general cleaning/painting and work on the tune some. thats hard to do when i dont have access to a dyno and i cant drive it on the street)

i work 8-5 mon-fri and do some sort of side work about once a week, sometimes its a tune, sometimes repair work, sometimes airplane work. i feel likei have no time to put towards any of this stuff and even less money. money i get, just need to find a way to make more or spend less on other things, but how do you budget your time for it all?

I had a priority list then kinda left it untouched for a while.  Did get a few things done on it but I need to get my damn work/storage area at my house figured out.

New battery in nissan got it driving around.  Rough though.  It sputters and misfires when in low rpm under load  :-[ Definitely remember a lot of things I gotta do with the car now.

Just try to keep/make it fun dude.  Go do some donuts or something.  Then imagine how much more fun that would be with a vg33 instead.


The less you care about trivial bullshit the easier motivation comes.  You dont need a storage shed.   Crank nog to 11 and do work.

Your right nig.  Lately the motivation has been building and my rhmt nog thought process has started to return.  Figured out the storage issue.  My mom's delivery business has these delivery vans.  One of them, a dodge whos tranny Iv'e busted several times, is gonna be scrapped before the end of the next tourist season so I'm taking it off her hands and will park it in my back yard.  Its going to act as a temp storage area for my large tool boxes, jacks, hoist, motor, etc.  I need a place to put the big items which I can't have inside and I don't want to leave outside to rot.  I care about my tools.

So it looks like vg action could start up in January.  Would be sooner but I'm heading to the motherland next week till the 2nd.

Also figured out the misfire issue: Steel braided hose was touching the ignition coil.  zip tie fixed it.  Hauls like a champ with its 24 y/o motor O0

As it should.  Zipties are the new duct tape.  Glad to hear you got a little something worked out.   Shit's ghetto but i'll do!   :noel:

Which motherland?  Russia, Japan or the biblical Africa?
