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:

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
