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:

      r34's love to squeal

      By Nizzy_R34 · Posted

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?

      So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
