Rant time:

I'm looking for a spare engine/gearbox for my RS250 racebike. I answer an ad one guy has for an engine/box for $500. I tell him I'm real keen and I'll be in VIC in the next few weeks to pick it up. Next reply I get, he's saying sorry totalled receipts for work done and now wants $500 more than what he quoted. I tell him I'm not interested anymore and now he's having a go at me for wasting his time! Wasting his time??? :banana:

Ready to just say I'll take it, go over there in the next few weeks and then just hand over the cash for the original price! Whatever happens after happens ... but I'll give him a demonstration of wasting time.

:devil:

I'm heading towards the same boat! As much as I love the GTR... I really want to travel :banana:

do it man. i was meant to do it years ago, i almost regret putting it off for so long.

i mean, i can always buy another car when i get back, but spending 3+ years seeing the world... thats a little more difficult.

i dont wanna sell the s14, i love the tractory pos to bits, but yeah... time to do something mature i spose.

nah, they sell them as "cold air induction kits" with a ram on the end, and charge like a wounded bull for them

try sprints. i saw something like what youre after at the local on the other day.

step 2 return in 10yrs time to classic automobil still respected n feared by many :banana:
I could purchase one of those car bubbles.

storing a car for an extended period of time isnt as simple as just chucking it in a car-coon or something...

my boss friend has 1 of those for his 60s shaguar v12 :cool:

just make sure u secure godzilla properly i was watching this movie jurrasic park and when those animals got loose holy crap.

n yeah its not that simple but its doable, all depends on how much you like ur car.

Garage GT-R,

Take loan for trip, enjoy yourself.Then pay it back slowly and keep your pride and joy and then get home loan and merge loans and the trip loan will disappear into a 300k mortgage :cool:

    • 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
