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 ;)

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...

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

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Black_CSR · Posted

      Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.

      MAJOR FUEL ISSUES 25det neo r32

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
