[13:45] Airj0ckey: other little toys and stuff
[13:45] Airj0ckey: new body kit
[13:45] Airj0ckey: nismo seats
[13:45] Airj0ckey: hopefully, if her brother doesn't want them.
[13:46] Airj0ckey: now guess the grand total
[13:46] Subl1meRomeo: goodness
[13:46] Subl1meRomeo: finally picked up on the trend that buy OEM = buy once
[13:47] Airj0ckey: who said anything about buy
[13:47] Subl1meRomeo: regardless, my statement fits lol
[13:47] Airj0ckey: a few years ago
[13:47] Airj0ckey: when I had a Z meet, a guy came
[13:48] Airj0ckey: we kinda clicked
[13:48] Airj0ckey: I didn't see much of him for a while, he had major migraines
[13:48] Airj0ckey: his wife posted on a forum
[13:49] Airj0ckey: CTZCC.COM :: View topic - Need help with parts
[13:49] Subl1meRomeo: typical wife
[13:49] Subl1meRomeo: selling her hubbys stuff lol
[13:50] Airj0ckey: she called me this morning, and with in about 2 minutes into the conversation....I had to sit down
[13:50] Airj0ckey: he died
[13:50] Subl1meRomeo: ahhh
[13:50] Airj0ckey: at 28
[13:50] Airj0ckey: I'm still in shock
[13:50] Airj0ckey: so she wants this stuff gone
[13:50] Airj0ckey: I'll take it
[13:51] Airj0ckey: and in return, I'll donate $1000 to her favorite charity
[13:51] Subl1meRomeo: omg lol 1k damn
[13:51] Airj0ckey: she wanted $500
[13:51] Airj0ckey: but I felt bad, so I tossed on another $500
[13:52] Airj0ckey: I just have to snag a truck and go pick up the motor, lift, engine stand, tranny, driveshaft tomorrow
[13:52] Airj0ckey: so now this makes me think
[13:52] Subl1meRomeo: dont hurt yourself loading that ish
[13:52] Airj0ckey: I need to get a will
[13:53] Subl1meRomeo: LOL indeed
[13:53] Airj0ckey: my wife will end up in the same situation one day
[13:54] Airj0ckey: if I die tomorrow, then you guys get everything....spread the wealth, the projects, and pass on to others
[13:54] Subl1meRomeo: i dont think you will die in the car though
[13:55] Airj0ckey: RIP **** ******** (name withheld until I talk to his wife again and get her permission to use it)
[13:55] Subl1meRomeo: did he die due to health?
[13:56] Airj0ckey: so when the car gets done, I'm going to make up a little plaque or something like "in living memory of ****"
[13:57] Airj0ckey: he was in the navy, had massive migraines. went on disability, was doing experimental treatment, and they say he over dosed on a "one time" medication patch
[13:57] Airj0ckey: which sounds like complete BS
[13:58] Airj0ckey: he just didn't have the time to find the right doctor
[13:58] Airj0ckey: I was always wanting him to swing by, but he was always having headaches
[13:58] Subl1meRomeo: ohh
[13:59] Airj0ckey: I even called his wife years ago...and she said he was resting
[13:59] Airj0ckey: his insurance and ss, and pension has pretty much set her up decently with the kids
[14:00] Airj0ckey: so she not hurting for money, but wanted his stuff to go to a person or group that can use it, what I don't use will go to the CTZCC, and they can raffle it off or something, and she also wanted to see something go to a decent charity
[14:00] Airj0ckey: she's thinking like the battered wives of CT or something good like that
[14:02] Airj0ckey: all she wants to do is see it in a car,get used, and hope he is watching it.
[14:03] Subl1meRomeo:
[14:03] Airj0ckey: this might be a sign
[14:03] Airj0ckey: I've been thinking about what engine to toss in the car for weeks...and here it literally falls in my lap.
[14:04] Airj0ckey: well...now I should have some power to rotate those friggen steam roller tires I got...and they might even get warm....
[14:05] Subl1meRomeo:
Here's what I got on a piece of paper.
"****'s motor is from an R34 Skyline GTS-T. I don't know how familiar you are with Skylines, but this was the latest generation of that car. This motor was produced from 1998 to 2002. R34 NEO RB25DET with 5 speed transmission 2.5 liter inline six, DOHC, turbocharged. Power: 276hp @ 6400 rpms, Torque: 193 lb-ft @ 3200 rpms"
So that's it, maybe someone up there is looking out for me, or is hinting something.... I did win a $500 scratch ticket the other day....
As soon as somebody buys the brown Z...(I got a deposit today )...the rest of the money is going for a down payment to have a shop rebuild it the right way. And I'm going to toss some stuff on this motor to make it the hottest damn thing since sliced bread.
