Well, as of about ten minutes ago, my car (and my house and electronics, dog, other pets and mortgage) is all I have!!

Be thankful for all you have. You can always buy another car....maybe an even better one???

i completely agree with you toy33. i sold my gtr and gtst both the same time.. now im regretting it .. so much so i went and bought a S2 steaga just to keep myselg and missus happy.. i think its the time when you buy it stock and spend time money doing it up to your individual taste.. like a dream car .. suddenly its all gone..

my lifes ended in a way ... gone are the days of owning a gtr for me..

I feel that fer any car lover, he/she would feel sad seeing their wotever car leave them, needless to say fer a GTR, which is a car with a racing heritage and all that aura, the pain is even stronger...well in every negative situation, there is a positive to be salvaged out somehow, cheer up! I cannot imagine if i have to let go of my GTR too..

If your missus doesn't understand, maybe you should have just sold her instead....

:wacko: Thought about it! :laugh:

After a weekend (Genesis - not 6mths) of sulking around the house the girlfriends had enough already :angry: I'm on the prowl for something new! .

Thanks for all the pics guys, good times, except Jason. Now I am seriously looking at two potential track cars this week :)

Now the money pit has been filled in for nearly a week its time to dig another one :woot:

Attached is my tribute to my ex *bottom lip starts to shake and eyes to start to water*

I sold my R33 GTS-t in Feb because my missus was pregnant and I was meant to buy a house, after about 2 months i just couldn't take it any more and bought a stock R33 GTR ... I just can;t stand to be without my skyline but i know I'll have to sell it in about a years time when i buy a house - espically now intertest rates are on the rise :(

I feel your pain and if it makes you feel any better I did actually shed a tear the night i went home and saw no R33 in the shed :)

Thanks for all the pics guys, good times, except Jason. Now I am seriously looking at two potential track cars this week :thumbsup:

OI! :(

You are doing the right thing. When I sold my GTR I still had to have a car to go to the track with, and although the GTST is not as quick (about 2.5-3sec a lap slower), it won't cost me as much to get it as quick and the money pit isn't quite as big and I am still out there having fun.

BTW, didn't I pass you just after that pic I posted :P

that was one mean gtr! I dont know how i will cope either man.....so ur not alone...

*just turned around to look at the r33 gts-t waiting in the driveway*

Think i might go hug my car now........

So maybe looking for a cefiro? $55k? (thats what a subaru 6cyl blitzen liberty is worth these days yeah? hey lets make it $53k cash, Im sure I could haggle a deal)!

Yes sad tho. All your money goes in to it, then you sell it for less than your 3 top mods.

BTW, didn't I pass you just after that pic I posted :D

I don't think so Jason, I spun thank you :) Oh no that was on the warm up lap. Sorry yes you were a tad faster than me that day in the wet. I think I drove like my granma that day :O

This is one of the main reason I sold the old girl. It sat in the garage more than it got driven, and when it did get driven I was stressing about all the idiot bloody drivers/racers we have on our roads, where i parked it etc.

Also when it did enter the track I didn't find the GTR's limits as I was (a) worried about putting it in the wall :P or (b) spinning a bearing :D:D Therefore I am looking at a R33 Gtst II again (I had one previously and I am not copying you Jason!) or a cheap R32 Gtst with a 2.5 conversion. As well as putting some $$$ back in the bank.

Given all that, I wouldn't have not owned a GTR as there is just nothing like driving one and anyone that is thinking of buying one go for it, just be aware that you will also have to grab a shovel and start digging a money pit as they not only enjoy being driven hard they also enjoy having money spent on them (there's a joke in there about my girlfriend but I will not go there :O )

*Also looking at a MY00 STI Version 6 in a week, but keeping it quiet on this site*

    • Yep, the closest base tune available was for the GTT, I went with that and made all the logical changes I could find to convert it to Naturally Aspirated. It will rev fine in Neutral to redline but it will be cutting nearly 50% fuel the whole way.  If I let it tune the fuel map to start with that much less fuel it wont run right and has a hard time applying corrections.  These 50% cuts are with a fuel map already about half of what the GTT tune had.  I was having a whole lot of bogging when applying any throttle but seem to have fixed that for no load situations with very aggressive transient throttle settings. I made the corrections to my injectors with data I found for them online, FBCJC100 flowing 306cc.  I'll have to look to see if I can find the Cam section. I have the Bosch 4.9 from Haltech. My manifold pressure when watching it live is always in -5.9 psi/inHg
    • Hi My Tokico BM50 Brake master cylinder has a leak from the hole between the two outlets (M10x1) for brake pipes, I have attached a photo. Can anyone tell me what that hole is and what has failed to allow brake fluid to escape from it, I have looked on line and asked questions on UK forums but can not find the answer, if anyone can enlighten me I would be most grateful.
    • It will be a software setting. I don't believe many on here ever used AEM. And they're now a discontinued product,that's really hard to find any easy answers on. If it were Link or Haltech, someone would be able to just send you a ECU file though.
    • Yes sir am asking is there possible way from aem tuner from wiring pins 
    • Have you checked cam to crank timing and confirmed balancer marks are correct?
