You're joking yeah? You're not actually considering that as an actual option are you?

Don't mean to offend you, but it's a 33 GTS-T, it's not something rare. Why the f**k would you even consider having ~$10k sitting there for a few years to one day, maybe, turn it into a track car when you come back...

But I'm sure you were just joking, because any half wit would understand that parking $10k in a garage for 3 years to maybe turn it into a track car is the most ludicrous thought one could have. That same half wit would know that $10k in your bank account when heading overseas is far more beneficial than a $10k garage ornament that will be worth $3k when you get back to turn it into a track car, losing ~$7k worth of potential track mods in the process.

Tough decision though..

You went a bit over the top there don't you think bloke?

The car might not be particularly special to anyone else, but it is to me. That's all.

I'm trying so hard to get a taste for it, but I just can't lol. I think it's an 'aquired taste?

I don't really have a taste for them either. Also depends on which red wines you been trying. Some are great and some I think are shit. Best ones to try would be the soft reds such as a merlot or Shiraz that aren't too dry.

I concur with Dezz on this...

Put the 10k into an account mate.

Lock it up for 3 years - same as you would with a car.

Come home and pay off some of the epic debt you'll accrue whilst overseas, or come back and really build a proper track car.

Whilst a car is special to one and so on, end of the day sometimes you just have to make the decision to cut it away.

I've been having sleepless nights lately over the GTR and keeping or selling & buying a place with my brother. It'll be 3-4 years longer if i keep the car simply because I cant have a 360rwkw GTR sitting there and not take it to the track. Then if i bust a motor etc... fk...

Only problem is selling will effectively castrate me having to drive around in a mid 90's commo or ford. Cheap and stuff but just depressing.

Decisions decisions... What life is all about. The tough ones are hard for a reason but once made, in the long run its better for you.

I don't think I went over the top at all...At the end of the day it's a car, and unless you've spent a shit load of money customizing it etc, chances are you'll be able to pick up a 33 gts-t for about $3-4k when you come back, and make it just as 'special' is.

Cheers fellas, Selling it is definitely the right thing to do. Sigh.

the upside is that you can potentially do it all over again and avoid any mistakes you made the first time...

like buying an R33.

I was actually at a high school yesterday with a massive group of girls wanting my autograph and photos with me... :P Gotta love being a muso.

But no, I didn't do anything.. Otherwise I probably would have been locked up haha

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
