Well.. I've been given an offer and accepted it on the skyline. So, within the next few weeks (probably sooner), sinbad goes off to his new owner and I'm left heart broken.

I think you all know how much this car means/meant to me and how much I treated him just like my little kid. We've had a good 4 years together now but unfortunately it's time to part ways.

With an impending wedding and the purchasing of a house, I think it's time I realisticly looked at whether I really did need 200rwkw to drive to work and back.

So onward and upward as buzz lightyear would say and farewell to a much loved baby of mine! You will be sorely (and I mean SORELY) missed!

Bye bye sinbad ;)

Poor Erin... I know how you feel - I still have my very first car - a 1980 model Toyota Celica - sitting on the side of my house waiting for me to let go of it.

And I know it wouldn't be far of it, but it's certainly no 200rwkw car! ;)

Not sure yet..

Might look at an N13 SSS Pulsar or something..

What ever it is, it won't be around for long. I won't be able to handle not having a fast/nice car ;)

N13... thats like my mums shitbox one...

Very sad day Erin. That car was tops, one of the earliest R33s round the place. Whoevers buying it sure as hell got one of the best R33s going about.

Out of interest tho, how close did you get to the asking price?

Do you mind me asking where the sale came from???

Close enough to being realistic... I knew I'd never get $24k for it..

He was a tops car.. never did a bad thing. Just like a straight A student. Always did what you asked of him, never spoke back... *sniffle* Brutis was the bad one.

Sorry, N14 Pulsar. ... The rounded shape, but not new.. like 92-94 or something?

this definatly was one well looked after car. Be sad to see it go, but guess in the long run it could make way for something better.

Eventually it will... Eventually :)

Sorry to see it go Erin...

However i am proof you can own a skyline and 2 houses and an apartment...

So enough excuses time for a GTR i reckon... :D

Nah, never buy a GTR.. I've been told they are more expensive than a GTS-t to run and Sinbad was expensive enough.

I'm sure you probably get paid more than Andrew and I combined Col, I dare say that's why you own that many things. When your first starting out, it's hard.

I wish they were excuses.. I was crying at Andrew tonight asking him to tell me that I was doing the wrong thing and we shouldn't sell it.. He wouldn't agree with me.

...hope you're keepin the plates though!

Certainly am.. My next "nice" car will be turbo :D

did the fella who bought yours, was his name Ben?

Was that directed at me? If so, no.

All the more reason to be responsible and get a practical car......did I hear someone say R34 Sedan??

4 doors for all the upcoming BabyNismo boys and girls perhaps???? :worship:

BabyNismos? We gotta get through buying a house and marriage yet!! Babies come a LONG way down the track ;)

when having children get a Stag as they have more room :D . I am sad to hear about the loss (well you are getting money so the financial aspect is good), but I think that most of us know how it feels to have to sell your pide and joy. It hurts for a bit, but then it gets easier......heres for the future MSP51 :worship:

    • The spray cans were in the "Kiln" room whilst I was preping the parts,  so probably around 2 hours to get them warmed up, the kiln room has 3 small ovens running at 100°c, 3 medium sized ovens running 100°c, and the large one I used running at 80°c, the room itself was about 28°c, I also spent a bit of time taping up the parts in the room as well, and by the time I was done I would assume that the parts were around that 28°c As for power, I expect a couple of Killerwasps up high would be achievable with the current mods, I'm still running the MZR 2.0 intake and throttle body, and there is a slight mismatch with the 2.0 intake (smaller) and 2.5 intake ports (larger) on the head, this intake is matched and specifically designed to fix this issue with the ports mismatch, the throttle body is also a couple of mm larger, OEM is 65mm, the Bosch is 68mm In the end it will look "prettier" than the molded plastic thing that is the OEM MZR 2.0 intake As for the LSD, it's the OEM Torsen which works fine for what I use the car for, plus, basically no maintenance apart from the occasional oil change
    • I was at Tunehouse in Marrickville (great team over there really know their VR's) , and I spotted this Very clean R35.  
    • Mate , I have the same issue right now with the exhaust noise , if you can tell me what your local guy did , I'll talk to my guys and see if they can do the same. Power is good but it just too loud when put it down. 
    • The other trick I've found with wrinkle black is to put the can in hot water for a bit to warm the paint up, and to pre-heat whatever you're painting. It'll be interesting to see if you pick up any power with the intake, following with interest. Got a proper lsd for this?
