Man the Supra is such a nice car - anyone whos driven it will agree, but yeah its got nothing on the GTR :D

my current tally is 1 broken, 1 not broken. can add one sold to that. and one stolen. nasty. but un-like some who shall not be named, mine don't stay broken for long... :ermm:

5 weeks down on my Skyline and the only "off roading" it has done was through some road works making it nice and dirty :rofl:

My Skyline was off the road from a week in between I paid the deposit and paid for the rest of the car, needed complaince, blue slip, rego ect...

But none of these count now do they :ermm:

R32 Broken engine, Broken turbo, Broken Clutch, failed fuel pump, failed center bearing, broken coolant line to turbo

R33 Broken suspension, Broken Clutch, Broken Engine

Wooo its been a good year for me lol

Mines got a blown turbo, Faulty turbo after not even 3 months being in the car... compressor seal shit itself ramming wheel into housing...

Im hoping that the highflower of the turbo gets back to me quickly as its just sitting in the driveway collecting dust...

Stagea FTW!!!!111!!!!11ty!!!

Mine's been off the road for a few days here and there because I HAVEN'T DRIVEN IT ANYWHERE!!!

So far so good, the only thing that's happened is when I blew the turbo not long after I bought it, which is closing in on 2yrs ago now.

Hoping to have some things done to it this week, so it'll likely be off the road and NOT at home for maybe a few days.

Lots of broken 'lines. I guess they're getting on in years, and this year has just been unlucky. I'm sure there are more of you out there :(

Another reason why someone should buy mine.... she's a very happy sort and gives me nothing but good times

I LOVE THIS CAR!

Mine's been perfect so far this year........damn i love my car, very reliable.

Having just said that, I'm sure something is going bang tomorrow.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
