Well..... my GT-R goes to its new home today at about 4.30pm . :D

Its hard to deal with after owning it nearly 6 years, but I'm selling it for the right reasons.... i'll have another GT-R in a few years time.

Who else has sold their GT-R..... ? Was is difficult to watch it drive away. Im dreading that. :wave:

I'll still be on here of course! Met too many good people to leave! :wave:

Heres some final pix of her.

Hey Rod,

Never met you but am in love with your car.

Your GTR is a credit to r32 gtr's.

I'm a big fan of it and have saved pictures that you have posted in the past.

I still can't believe that i read somewhere that you never "tracked" it.

goodluck with your next one, if it turns out anything like the one above pm me when you want to sell. :D.

Shes gone now too..... I didnt watch her drive away, couldnt do it. The proud new owner is on here, no doubt he will say hi if he wants to. :wave:

Aw - it is a sad day when that happens.

I'm man enough to admit I was a bit choked up when the purple fella drove off into the sunset.

But I'm sure the new toy will bring you hours of fun :D

Rod,

Sold mine some months ago when I moved down to Melb.

Was difficult, but as long as you can justify to yourself why you've sold it then you can live with it :)

Though more difficult when the new owner destroyed it :rofl:

Markk: Congrats, good buying!

Markk will look after her I have no doubt. :) Im sure he has plans to develop her further.

Dave, yeah I know mate was still hard to see her go, right reasons or not! Was even harder pulling the Fangartist sticker off it. :rofl: Give me a few months & hopefully i'll have a new toy to put a sticker on!

James, I must admit I was more emotional after she'd gone than I thought I would be, just felt empty.... :P

Anyway I went out with freinds last night and drowned my sorrows..... Just got up! :)

Rick, yeah I'm feeling a bit better about it now... no doubt the next track day I go to watch i'll wish I still had her......

Cant imagine how you felt after what happened to your old one. :sick:

Definately a sad day, when your pride and joy goes. Can't quite relate to 6 years but certainly after a couple, I was attached. Helps in some ways seeing it but in others, it doesnt.

I am sure you will enjoy the new toy though, especially in your neck of the woods with some twisties :P

Will we see you again in Melbourne anytime soon?

the question is, would anyone here give up their bf/gf to keep their car?

Edit - but i dread the day i have to decide to sell my skyline. I wouldnt want to see people come and thrash my car after I have babied it and put all the mods etc....

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
