Why do I bother? I bother because I enjoy working on the car. I enjoy knowing the fact that it's something I can do myself. I like sanding it back and making it nice and smooth, I like applying the color knowing its almost finished. I like polishing it knowing its going to look good and I LOVE putting things back together knowing it looks 10 times better than before. It's just the way I am, I like doing things with my hands. Let others do it you say? yeah I've done that, I've taken my car in for tuning and I've taken my car in for suspension change. Came back to pick it up and I can't say it thrilled me much because after spending all that money, I still don't know how to change my suspension and I still don't know how to tune my car. Thats is why I bother to go to all that trouble. If I screw up big time, so what? there's alwasy a workshop that can fix it so I can do it again.

well none of them had cult followings did they......

Oh did I also forget to mention the most important factor of all. THE DOSE!!!!! ZUUTUTUTUTUTUTTUTUTU PULLS DA CHICKS ULEH!!!!

NOrthern beaches is one area I cannot resist driving to...

Style, History, Fun, Performance, Reliability, Comfort, Spacious, Sound, Power, Good Handling. Only hate I have: No cupholder, lack of boot space.

given its daylight saving and all that, would be nice to go for a relaxing cruise along McCarrs Creek rd then head off to pizza.

better not be tonight.....I have an exam tomorrow. Anytime after tomorrow is A OK what happened to the " I love pizza and I also love McCarrs creek rd" option?

The GTR is pretty much legendary everywhere you go. So what do the 17 yr olds do when they leave school? They apply for a loan and buys a GTR to impress their mates because he drives the legendary GTR. This is great for the first few month. Pretty soon, they are out of money and cannot afford to spend on the maintenece because they've spent the remaining $$$$s on petrol and tyres. A few months later, their rego is up, their CTP through the roof because of the car they drive (possibly). Then their full comp insurance is due. On their apprentice wage, it becomes a little hard to keep paying for all this and due to the neglected engine maintenece, it's starting to sound a little funny. Hence why so many for sale.....................well my theory anyway.

gotta kick that ferrari's ass

Oooo i like that black plastic looking thing under the head lights...looks nice. Also the dish weheels too

It is final, even God cannot change it now. Its the R35 GTR without the Skyline name tag. And thats that.

I always do write ups if I doing something DIY.

Nismo bodykit.....the best

Ah so this is the orange peel.....somewhere in the back of my mind, I was wondering what to do if that happened. Quite a bit of preperation work to be done. There's still a bit of rough edges to sand out but I'll post up the result once its done. How exciting.

NA supra?

HAHAHAHAHA DUMB c**t GOT CAUGHT!!!!! Hope the jail runs out of soap!!!! More shaming is really required..............need some photos of him.

Thanks for the info much appreciate. What is the orange peel thing though?

Ok, I just got some side skirts and pretty soon I'm going to paint them myself. Just want to get some advice on the steps to getting a good finish. I've previously sprayed my dad's old datson before but it never came out shiny. So I was wondering if someone could clarify the steps. So far here's what I kind of know: Probably need to sand the side skirts and get rid of little scratches and fix up the slightly rough edge and make sure everything is smooth as it can be. I assume the next step would be to spray on the primer - how many coats of primer do I need? Do I need to sand it back a little with extra fine sand paper before putting on the color coat? When you spray the color coat, how many coats of that do you use? (last time I did it, we sprayed the car with 3 coats and it looked pretty good) When do you apply the clear coat? When do can you start polishing it? Cut polish then wax or just wax? Thanks James

could someone be kind enough to color in the side skirts I just bought? It's going to take me a couple of weeks to get it painted and I don't like waiting.

wow I just had an orgasm after reading that

bloody hell, how tempting......................soooo god damn tempting....

I saw a few pics of it on smh.com.au a while ago, looked like the ass of a normal 318. suffice to say, I was not pleased when I saw it....but hey, it still kicks ass. I guess now the family can get in on the exclusivity of the M3. I'm still sad over the no manual gbox thing...............I'm an old school driver, if I ever drive the gtr in 10 years time, it gonna feel like playing arcade game.

I cannot believe BMW came out with this M3 4 door sedan bullshit.....
