What Your Girlfriend Hates About Your Skyline Thread

I think most of the issues present themselves when you upgrade from girlfriend 3.0 to wife 1.0.

This is likely...

Solution: marry car enthusiast, wedding present = car stuff you both enjoy :)

My wife can't stand that I still want other cars as well... I keep sending her links to V10 M5s and Chasers and Evo 6.5.
Ah well, I can dream!

  • 1 month later...

I screwed up big time the other day. A package arrived (a better battery charger/tenderer for my car) and my wife wanted to know where to put it. 

Me: "oh just put it with all the rest in the office". 

Her: "the rest?"

Me, in my head: "oh shit".

She goes and puts the charger on the pile of parts, i've been collecting for a few months, goes back through the credit card, advises me, "you've spent almost $1000 on car parts lately. Haven't you spent enough on that car already?"

So there is a temporary ban on me buying car parts right now... no one to blame but myself. "with the rest". Sometimes, I am the most stupid human on the earth! :(

She does not like it when it comes on full boost, but it helps reduce the amount of talking and it's a great distraction ?

Then there's the usual, didn't you fill up only yesterday?" " I feel like you love the car more than me", etc etc

To avoid this, I have a bank account and credit card she doesn't have access to. I originally had this account linked to PayPal so it would be separated from our other accounts. She complains when she sees too many packages arrive, I explain that I got an unbelievable deal and what a score it was. I sometimes offer to show her the account with the least spending on it. Rarely happens. The bank account gets topped up from old car parts and things around the house I decide to sell but I usually pay the card off bit buy bit from our every day account. The money in the separate account then gets used for large purchases that she would complain about, like tyres, turbo upgrades, tuning etc. Every now and then I surprise order her a package of something she would like to keep her happy, kind of anyway. Have been getting away with it for a while now[emoji6]

Always telling me that I have wasted my $$$$...."You can only go 100km/h anyway".

Then when we come up behind a slow moving vehicle or a few of them and we go out and around them......"Bet the other cars wish they could do that"

I can't win!!!!.....I was never meant to!!!!

Story of my life. 

Except when i decide to chill behind someone doing 110, she questions why i havent overtaken them yet because "this car can do it easily"

    • Y'know what, after reading a topic on a 360kw build using a nistune (who ended up going LINK), im now considering a LINK over a nistune. The engine protection alone would probably be worth it. And id like to learn to tune so would be nice to have that safe guard. Which means i probably wont need a boost controller then, or the R35 MAF.  Becoming a bit of a blog now but oh wells. As mentioned previously, the goal is around 300kw, for a daily driver. Will be looking at fitting a highflow turbo or similar (something that doesnt require downpipes, manifolds etc to be changed out) when the current stock gives out or the money for it is there. 
    • Thanks guys. Are you meant to tighten the converter bolts through the starter motor hole? Think my plate between gearbox and engine is one piece. Im heading up there tomorrow.
    • Picked my tailshaft up yesterday arv!! Test fit it and because they've gone to a ford centre bearing and CV I had to modify the mounting bracket a little bit. 5mm of each side and she went up into position and fits well. It has a 1350 uni and flange on the gearbox end so it should be plenty strong!  Got stuck in this morning and started on the wiring mess. Cut out all the wires not required that go to the body connector and cut the engine harness out. Need to go through and work out which ones I need to keep and rewire into the new ecu. Should save a small amount of weight as well. I'd love to get in and rip the dash and everything out to completely remove wiring but cbf.  Next up was the power harness for alternator, starter etc. It has a few connectors from factory that run out of it. Cut it all apart and removed what was no longer required and put some new corro and taped it all back up and bolted it all back into place.  After that I worked out where I can mount the new flex sensor. Found a couple of factory bolt holes and drilled a new hole on the bracket to suit. Need to go get a few fittings and adapters tomorrow so I can keep going.   
    • Nah, im after the more newer looking, one with the OLED display
    • We revised the neutral wire instructions. The old way was wrong.  R34 gearbox change.pdf
