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.

Yeah monthly isn't too bad now I've gotten used to it but the last week is always terribad. End up having like $200 left n wondering whether you can make it lol.

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

    • 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.
