i bought my skyline planning to use it as a daily and do the odd test n tune day or drift night,

have owned it for a year now,

the bloody thing is now off the road with a cage and no interior,

i realised the other day that i could be paying off a house with the amount i spend on my car each month :cool:

there is always something to do to it, inbetween comps it has either been a new radiatoor or oil cooler or p/steering work or this n that, its like a terminal disease, i never intended for it to become a full drift car, even got it booked in to a workshop this week for something then another workshop next week,

someone stop me.

but...

im happy ;)

My 32 was a daily for about 2 years, all mods were done in a weekend so that I could drive it on the Monday again (even the 30 conversion :)).

Now I have a Stag as my daily and the 32 is currently in pieces, putting all the bits on that I have collected over the last 18 months! going to be quite some fun when it's done :D

I hear its a great fertiliser.

for you mind.. now everyone eat up and video it when you do and post it up.

gt-r body conversion! best upgrade on the exterior imo ;)

or just a normal bodykit looks good too lol but the gt-r conversion is a nice way to go and blow your cash

hey mate check out on ebay, theres a full leather rewrapping kit, goes over almost everything.

it goes for around 500-1000 bucks? can't remember.

nice way to do up the interior for a pretty cheap price though.

much cheaper than getting a trimmer to do it all up for you

i got this planned for the future :thumbsup:

    • But seriously, can we ask for the results of the "tip a bottle of metho into a nearly empty tank" experiment?
    • Hang on. Let me get this straight. The desire is to have coilovers, BC in particular, to be MORE comfortable on Sydney roads than stock suspension? Well, that's obviously not right. BCs have crude damping design at the very best, and typically hard spring rates. BC stands for Billy Cart. And then, the desire is to put in some shitty old worn out stockers, to get it blue slipped and then put the BCs back in? And then.....what? Not worry about getting pulled up by the Plod? Because you seem to have raised a worry about paying for engineering (which actually does solve all your legality problems) and still getting pulled up.... but the only problem there is that if/when that happens you have to show your paperwork at the inspection station. Whereas, if you just swap in borrowed shitty old stockers to get it slipped now, and then you get defected in the future, you have to go find more shitty old stockers then too. You course of action looks like this set of options: Buy brand new stock type dampers, and springs. probably cost a bit more than $1k all up, but will last for the remaining life of the car. Put them in, pass inspection, drive on them forever more. Hell, they could even be really nice Bilsteins and Kings or other lower&stiffer springs if you wanted. Get the car engineered as is. ~$1k. Buy new Shockworks coilvers (or MCA) and also pay for engineering. You're spending a lot more here. But these will be the best things that you could drive around on.
    • Might be worthwhile hitting up Facebook's groups, I know most of them contain terrible people and scammers - however you might be able to find someone that's in Sydney with factory suspension you could purchase and/or hire. Just do not send any form of money anywhere, in person cash only.
    • Thanks @Duncan Ride height is fine. I think it's almost stock tbh. Happy to share a pic. I don't actually have a regular mechanic as haven't lived in Sydney too long. Could you or anyone recommend any shops in Sydney?
