I Don't Love My Skyline

Who doesn't love their car?

I've owned it for 3 years now. It's a daily and gets treated like a daily too. It gets serviced and all the maintenance attention it needs, but I don't really feel compelled to keep it clean. I don't seem to care about it anymore. I've put money into it and made it go a bit quicker and handle a bit better and stop a bit better. I enjoy the way it drives and have put only a couple of visual mods to make it bearable in my eye. The S1 R33's are a bit on the ugly side, and I've thought that since day 1.

It's reliable, it goes relatively well but doesn't break any fastest car in town records and don't really want it to. I feel spending anymore money on the car is futile. Heck I even dropped my comprehensive insurance for third party fire and theft.

It get's washed like once every 6 - 8 weeks. The mods that were put on were put on with a 'she'll be right' attitude.

I know it's a good car, but that's all it is to me now.

i still like my 33. which is unusual since i get bored with my cars fairly quick. some days it suprises me actually. i am driving and think to myself, fark i love driving this car. lol

and when its clean, i look at it, in all its black reflective shiny glory, and think mmmmmm, thats nice :thumbsup:

the other day someone asked me, why i dont sell it and get something else. and i said, coz i'd prob buy another skyline lol

no exotics here....or anything expensive for that matter. Partly laziness. When I clean it i put a lot of effort into it, then I like it when its clean. Then it gets dirty within the week then I hate it again and neglect it for another month.

I hated the way my R33 got me pulled over just about every other day - which resulted in me losing my licence on a technicality. I also hated most of the culture associated with owning an import (the fanboyism, the young idiots, the hoons stepping into soarers and skylines, the forum heroes etc).

That said, once I have twelve points left to "spend" I will buy another one and go crazy with the modification stick probably a four door R33 S1 GTST with a built RB30/25DET or I may even turn to the dark side with an Evo GT-A (I confess I am inspired by the C-RED "EFO" damn that thing is yummy) or possibly an Aristo.

I've often contemplated buying another car. But with all the money I've spent on this one, I know I'd be selling a practically good car that does almost everything I need/want a car to perform like. So that's what making me keep it. That and I'd be selling at a mega loss

no wonder man!!! you need to paint those side skirts. thats what's turning you off.

if my car is dirty, i'm kind of indifferent towards it. but when it's clean, i'm all smiles. i cant imagine having a half done body mod.

get it painted you lazy ass :thumbsup:

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sorry I haven't been following all the detail, so you may have tried this. Does it idle with the tiniest bit of throttle you can add? You've mentioned the IACV, does it have an AAC valve and have you adjusted it at all (ie, screw the idle adjust screw all the way in, then back it out a couple of turns until idle is stable)?

      My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
