its not about the money man, its more about the timing of things, this always happens to me, when s**t f**ks up it does all at the same time, my mom thinks i was stupid i bought a lemon and i have to spend all this money to fix broken stuff on the car, i mean to an extent its true when it comes to synchros and brake pads and service and clutch but i have spent alot of money on things i wanted not things i needed, and when my mom asked why i had to fix so many things up i said its a sports car mom its not brand new either, she asked me why the hell i bought a car that was nearly 15 years old in the first place, why i couldnt buy a newer sedan like a commodore or something, its hard to explain the situation when shes 1000's of miles away , she didnt actually ask me to sell it, but honestly i cant take this anymore, the cars gona cost money no matter what, even if i never drive it its still gona be about 2 grand a year for insurance and 600 for rego and ctp, i dont wana be put in this position all the time,

ive tried to find a job, maccas, kfc all that crap just to support car costs but no luck, they offered me a job for pizza delivery at pizza capers, whats the point? they dont pay for fuel il spend pretty much 90% of what i earn on fuel and just clock kms on the car,

she will send me the money, but then same old s**t will happen in august when insurance and rego runs out, so what do i do, if i do sell the car i will buy a newer car with money to spare to budget all this s**t.

honestly i dont know what to do? i think maybe my fun times with the skylines were only meant to be for 6 months and maybe i should move on now . or do what my 18 year innerself is tellin me to do and get everythin done and worry about everything else when the time comes.

@John: mate just give me a few weeks to think about it, im gonna miss it alot, i have to move to a new unit and pay all my bills so im in the middle of alot of things right now, if things stay the way they are, i will send you a pm or text and we can discuss the car okay bro?

thanks everyone for all the concern, really appreciate it :'(

adam im sorry to hear it bro - hopefully something can be worked out

as for finding a job - if you want a job bad enough you will find one - just might need to be less picky less concerned on hours/cash/conditions etc etc. i know for a fact if you rock up at dominos in the city, west end or gabba with a good attitude you'll get a job delivering pizzas on one of their new rad scooters - yes scooters, so need to use your car

pm me whats up with the car

@Adam, sorry to hear bro, but thats the life of a skyline owner. They cost money :(

Tris is right, dominos will hire just about anyone as a driver, and if you can use a scooter (Even more ghey than the old yaris we had :)) instead of your car then you'll be sweet. Pay isn't brilliant but its a pretty cruisy job - you just drive around all the time. I used to prefer to use my car cas it was more fun (But it was just an old aus spec 31, you don't worry too much about clocking ks up on them).

Otherwise yeah as tris said, theres jobs about, you just can't be too fussy on what you are after.

Yeah all sorted out now

Almost ;)

For those that weren't there.

They would fit without the land cruiser shock/spring combo and some epic camber.

Do it, would look hot.

Hot like a pre teen

Perfect fit. Just needs skinnier tyres, more low and demon camber. DO ET!

@Adam - A GTR will always cost money mate no matter what. I wouldn't recommend one to anybody who doesn't have a job tbh but if your parents are still willing to give money to you for car expenses I say keep it lol ;)

Dan is correct.

I think I will have to see how my savings hold up after the move. I just got my insurance renewal for the dirty-one :(, and as you all know I just gave the tax man my left kidney...

I know you were fond of good ol lefty. I need to get paid biatches. Come on Jan 15 lol. TPG says my internets should be connected by today but I don't have a whole lot of confidence in them.

Telstra says my new phone line should be connected by today. THEN I can organise TPG, which will probably take another week or two :)

Everyone needs good internets

    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack. 
    • Probably not. A workshop grade scantool is my go to for proper Consult interrogation. Any workshop grade tool should do it. Just go to a workshop.
