... having strangers at traffic lights roll down their windows to talk tell you how hot your car is.

It's also parking your car, going for a walk, and seeing some people you know perving on your car without knowing it's yours :P.

Who else has had some moments like this which have totally justified your purchase (and made you realise just how good you look)?

having all sorts of people, young and old, admire the car.

people thinking your rich for driving one [ahahahaha]

people trying to race me off the lights, and i just cruise normally.....

not satisfaction... but a pet hate.... people keeping up with you, staying in the lane next to you, driving behind you, following you on the road to perve at the car....

is....

1. Having a lifetime Holden fan admit that your car is better than his :bunny:

2. Listening and feeling the mechanical symphony every time you press your right foot to the floor.

3. Being pulled over by a cop to ask what car is that? And chatting to him for 15 minutes without fear of getting a defect.

I remember the car being admired at, more by males and some females. Remember being asked about it at the petrol station and at traffic lights. These days only get a few glances. It seems they are plenty on the road and people got used to them...

    • 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
    • Cracked deck  And other cam snap stuff   
    • A few random issues have popped up since my last update. My WMI pressure sensor failed within about 10 minutes of it seeing liquid. It was a 20$ China special, so I'm not surprised. My name brand replacement should arrive today.  My power steering assist also decided to crap out last weekend. The usual, works for about 60 seconds after starting the car then I lose it. I dusted off my old copy of NDS and connected to the HICAS ECU. Code 4 for assist solenoid.... I tested the solenoid and it's fine.  I knew the day where my HICAS ecu would crap out would come, and I welcome it. It was the last HICAS part on the car that is now in the bin. I've ordered an SSR and I will control the power steering solenoid with my Haltech ecu. It will be nice to have proper speed referenced assist again after all these years.
