Hi All,

So yesterday, some guy came to me and took my car. He handed me a fistful of Kesh, and took my baby away.

After 7 years of ownership, better than $30k spent, several DECAs, track days, drag days, cruises, shes gone.

She went under the spray can twice, on the dyno maybe 15 times, shat a turbo once, destroyed 5 full sets of tyres, made lots of black lines at DECA and provided me with endless fun and games.

I will miss her sorely, I felt terrible when she drove away from me yesterday afternoon.

But Alas, such is life.

Post up photos of my baby and stories of her if you want. :P

It's a sad day in the life of Pete right now. Like Snowball said, I'm now just somebody who USED to be cool. :banana:

You suck Snowball!! :banana:

SAD BASS OUT

i'm actually feeling sad watching those pics :domokun: i too have been contemplating putting my T up... but just don't know if i have the stomach for it

although, i think i would feel better if it stayed on the forum or went to someone who was a real enthusiast.

Are they an SAU'er Pete? seem like an enthusiast?

Pete, I feel your pain!

Sold mine a while ago and still missing it.

Have not spent 10 minutes in the garage since.

Though I do still have the neglected Starion to start all over on again.....

Booo, no good Pete. I'm not sure how long I've got left either....apparently 7 years of owing an R34 and being "childish" is enough for the wife, I've been told I have to get a responsible looking German car next and stop pretending I'm still 21 :banana:

Unfortunately for her, any German car with grunt is gonna put a dent in the funds :domokun:

      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

      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.

      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?
