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.

You an me both, you get paid monthly as well ?

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 :)

Internets aye . . . I gotta get me some of those . . . lol

Everyone needs good internets

    • Per Mark Roberts of Sonictune: Mark Robert Author At this time, no. No ETA either 2016-17 models. You will be able to purchase and install a 2018.5+ TCU though   TCU purchasing and pricing info! As we near the release of TCU tuning, I am going to answer some questions I get asked often.   What do I need for TCU tuning? At this time, you will need a 2018.5+ TCU to be able to tune. If you have a 2016-to early 2018, you will need to replace your TCU with the newer version. One good way to know if your TCU is good is if you have auto upshift in manual mode in 1st gear around 6500 rpms. If your manual 1st gear goes to 7k rpm and will hit the rev limiter unless you shift, you have the older TCU.   Why do I need to buy another ecu license/phone flash if I already have it on my ECU tune? The TCU is its own computer module. It is completely separate from the ECU. Because of this, you will be required to purchase a TCU license and, if your tuner has it, the phone flash license required to tune it via phone/bluetooth.   Do I need TCU tuning? TCU tuning is NOT required. However, the faster your setup, the more it will assist in track and dragy time consistency.   If I’m ECU tuned by (tuner A) can I get my TCU tuned by (Tuner ? Yes, since it’s a different module and a completely separate flash, you can have two different tuners. However, it is highly recommend that you have both tuned by the same tuner. For me, my TCU tuning will directly complement my ECU tuning style and features and running my ECU and another TCU or vice versa MIGHT cause some issues. At this time and for the foreseeable future, I will only be tuning my current ECU tuned customers TCUs.     I have a SYVECS AWD controller. Do I still need it? Yes! The AWD controllers main job is to control your AWD system. However, with TCU tuning, you will no longer need the auto-shift function as that will be done through the TCU. The AWD controller will still be very beneficial for racers looking to maximize traction on the launch.     Shift schedule changes: holding gears longer at lower pedal input as well as max shift rpm changes. Please note, the new ECU race rom coming out will address 90% of the shitty drivability issues these cars have through custom maps from myself and Racebox—as well as others I am sure.   Increase shift speeds: as seen in the videos I’ve been posting, the TCU shifts much faster once tuned.   Increased shift pressures: as also seen in the videos, much firmer full throttle shifts.

    • The fancy pants red shock tower brace is finally incoming from MX5 Mania, getting it shipped from 'Merica has been a long and problematic process, and GWR, the 'Merican supplier will not ship directly to consumers outside of the US, Mania basically had to order a heap of them, the colour choice was silver, or red, and we all know anything red adds 5 killerwasps of dynotorques..... Whilst it does fit over a 2.5, and I've seen a few photos and videos of it being installed and fitting, google also says it might get real close to the FAB9 intake front runner, people in the US says it does fit with the FAB9 intake, except for one person who said it slightly touched.......so there is that.....LOL..... As it seems that I am the first in AU to have this combination of parts there's no local knowledge about fitment, so I'm just a willing guinea pig in this endeavour, I'll cross my fingers and toes and hope for the best In other news, I ordered stuff from China  on the same day I ordered the 23° silicone bend from Victoria, the stuff from China arrived a day ago, the 23° silicone bend is still travelling around Australia thanks to Australia Post, and "may" be here next week
    • Very good news...I contacted Racebox about it last night. My car is a 2016 so remains to be seen if it is compatible, requires a TCU swap, or is impossible.
    • What ECU are you running? This is probably the biggest question. If it's a PowerFC, I'd probably change the ECU and get something newer that will handle the injectors in a nicer way.
