well i guess owning a skyline is my compensation for that then.

DAM, now your really putting your self down, your saying that you have the same thought process as a man, poor you. :cheers:

What men might they be?

If say there was a man driving past me in a ferrari at the same time a woman was going past riding a tricycle.

I know which spectacle I'd be watching.

I would go the ferrari first coz its only going to be a quick glimpse any way and then get a good look at the chick, BUUUT if the chick was swerving all over the place and about to go arse up then i would just go with the chick, you get a perv (possibly a big perv) and a laugh, would be a highlight of the week.

Some are for sure but i defintely think alot of enthusiasts for skylines, rexies, silvias etc are great; Most days when i drive i get people comming up to me in carparks, carwashes, maccas, pertrol stations etc and just saying hi/checking out my car/taking photos.

The ones who are wankers are the guys who rely completely on their car for respect; nevermind their personalities are like donkeys or they are as dumb as a hard cock.

Thats probably because the r34 GTR is still regarded as one of the more enthusiast type cars. Due to their price still around the $50k mark, you'd need to be enthusiast to spend that much on a second hand car instead of a new bmw/audi/merc etc

Hence why other enthusiasts driving in skylines, rexies, silvia's would be more comfortable in approaching you/thumbs up/wave because chances are you wouldn't be an ignorant cock.

With r32/r33's around the $5k-10k any joeshmo can buy one and its much harder to tell the difference between the friendly enthusiast or a takumi wannabe.

Good point about the r34 gtr, when i was shopping for a new car to buy i didnt really want a second hand car but whats great about the r34 gtr is that all parts are quite avaliable! for instance, i was going to get a new s2000 for 76ish k but for 65k i got the vspec2 and if something goes, including the engine a rebuild of 10k will suffice and still be cheaper than the s2k

So far its the best choice i have made and there are no shortage of good workshops in vic/nsw etc

Like i always say, your only a loser if you think your car makes up for other weak points in your life eg: intelligence, personality, looks

Unfortunately there are quite a few sportscar drivers that are ugly as a herpes lesion and as dumb as a circumsised foreskin.

Bingo!

2x Bingo!

Close thread.

its all because of the fast and the furious... idiots buy skylines because they are "cool", they dont know why they are "cool" just that they are.... then they wack on a pod, cannon, and gay chrome wheels with pathetic dish and offset and a massive bov... and drive like a goon.

I hate that movie and it's sequels.

They are preachers of rice.

Well I wave to other skyline drivers, and sometimes I get a response in the '33. When I have driven hot rods/muscle cars when I wave to other drivers I get a response just about every single time. Its just a culture difference.

To the second thing that has come up in this thread (RX7's), I have owned a series 2 for a lengthy period of time and driven an FC turbo extensively. In their terms of ownership both needed engine rebuilds (within 50,000kms of purchase) and I knew their history. Liked the sound and the power delivery. Disliked the community and reliability. To those that say they can be consistently reliable, well the rule of thumb is a rotary needs a rebuild twice as often as a piston engine. I'm not picking a fight its just the truth - I have nothing against rotary powered cars.

Regardless, a true automotive performance enthusiast likes all cars no matter what the make or model as long as it delivers the goods where it counts - on the road.

    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it. 
    • Not yet quite as bad as what we've seen a Jim Berry clutch do in an R32 GTR though when it decided to cut a chassis rail in half... Still very very gnarly and a great reason to avoid.
