I just watched my 96 GTR V-Spec in Midnight Purple drive away on it's way to its new home in Syndey. I feel empty now =(

On the plus side I'm in the strongest financial position ever and have accelerated my purchase of an R34 GTR =D The goal is to save a fair bit for one and focus on getting a house in the next 3yrs so while I may have defected for now (I'm picking up my VY SS on the weekend - at least it's a 6psd and I chose that purple colour hehe) I've still got much love for the GTR's and am making this sacrifice to get into a 34 sooner =)

Thanks Barney (My big purple dinosaur) we had some great times and you'll be missed.

Thought about it but need a decent car for a lot more country highway k's I'll be doing with work so car is leased and needs to be big and comfy etc. Plus after going from coilovers in a GTR to an SS, it's like driving around in a lazy boy recliner, so damn comfy =D

V-Spec II =D Yeah!

LoL, I'm not rich I just budget well and handle my finances and my interests in cares carefully. I do small/medium business level Network Infrastructure, the business cards say Systems Engineer which is a bit rich I think =D

I'm doing OK as I've always drawn a line with how much I will spend on cars mods wise and how much I buy and sell them for =)

That aside... I already miss my GTR, I just went and picked up the missus spare car an Auto Daewoo Nubira :)

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
