I can appreciate the amount of time and money he must have spent on it.

Just out of curiosity, if I dug a massive hole and shovelled 2 skip-bins' worth of $5 notes into it, could you appreciate the amount of time and money I spent doing it?

Assuming you weren't allowed to go and dig it all up afterwards, of course.

No because thats just a waste of money.

This guy obviously has a different taste in modifying vehicles to what I do. He's spent a lot of time and money preparing the car to satisfy his tastes, which i can admire and respect even though his car doesn't particularly appeal to me, its plain to see he has put some effort into it.

Being a cockhead and throwing money away in a hole using a shovel is another matter entirely :P

How do you know that my hobby isn't burying treasure and living out my pirate fantasies? Or I'm a furry, and burying stuff is foreplay before I go shag my partner while we're both wearing dog costumes? Different tastes, etc....

All I'm saying is that appreciation can only go so far. I appreciate guys who build track-focused Integras, even though I don't like FWD. I appreciate people who are into hang gliding, even though I'd never strap myself to an oversized kite and jump off a cliff.

This, on the other hand....taking a reasonable car and a reasonable amount of cash and coming back with something unreasonable. He could have built a car like Shonen's. Instead, he built something that looks like a dog ate a paint box and then vomited all over it.

We could sit here and argue on technicalities all day, but that would be taking the thread off topic. Bottom line is its a subjective opinion, and neither of us are wrong because its all about personal perception of the situation.

PS. Fur-Fag... KAWAII!!! ^_^ kekekekekkeke desu desu desu desu desu desu desu let us continue this on /b/.

Hey its on fire...oh no its not :P

Seriously James it's ass and no just subjectively, technically as well. There is no cohesion at all, I cant figure out what the idea is...probably none. Roll cage and a big screen TV...WTF! 5inch taco yes taco mmmm mexican food, in the passenger footwell, yellow and black leather with matching yellow dash surrond with a 300k speedo :P . Man this thing is all over the place then top it of with the tail light swap and, what are they, GT-C Volks and the ghey flames. Man needed someone to tell him when he started to STOP! and have a think or buy a copy of option or hyper rev or HPI and "get on the trolley".

In the end it is his money and it is his expression so meh, just hope it doesnt park in my street

    • Spotted in Adelaide last week.... mine! New to me two weeks ago.. love it!
    • Congrats on the career change!  I did something similar at the start of the year too, left IT / corporate after nearly 2 decades. Soooo when's the motor coming out for the spark plug change?
    • Hi guys, long time no post as per usual! It's been a busy year so far, the biggest thing being a new job.  After 28 years in the automotive industry I decided it was time for a change.  I was losing faith in the industry and where it's heading.  Now in a completely different industry (electrical) working for a company that manufacture water pump contollers.  Not as sexy as cars but it's an interesting,  challenging industry. I now don't work Saturdays which is a bonus!  It's still 50-55 hours a week but having Saturdays ack after 28 years of working them is awesome!   No news on the GT-R but i did decide to add some more JDM goodness into my life....           1990 300 ZX.  She's not perfect but for a 35 year old car she ain't bad!  Just going to tidy it up a bit and enjoy it.  It's currently auto but will start stockpiling everything for a manual swap. It WILL distract me even further from the GT-R but im hoping not for too long! It somewhat proves a 6'8" freak can fit in a 300 ZX.  Sort of...  I drove it home from the previous owners house in Melbourne via Black Spur and Merton Gap (2 awesome bits of Victorian twisty road) and it was amazing!  Handles so well!!!   I don't think it would be worthy of a full build page but I'll post up some of the upgrades here if anyone is interested?  Cheers guys!
    • End game is to: - Remove all the slop from old worn parts - Adjust setup so that the wheels actually fit and the car is drivable (currently it is not because of the extreme rubbing on the guards).   Progress over the last couple of days, removed the rear hubs! Next steps: - Buy bushings - Replace bushings/bearings on hub - Reinstall
