Damn bro you've had a bit of everything haven't you haha. love the 89 Porsche! what did it set you back?

yeah I like to think so. I am probably a bit older than a few others on the forum though - I bought the Porsche as a gift to myself for my 40th.

The 928's are cheap to buy. Considering that they were around the $150-200k mark when they were new depending on options, they are an absolute bargain at $15-20k now. Earlier models (which are still very nice) can be had for around $10k. The catch of course is VERY expensive repairs and servicing, but if you can do a bit yourself you'll save a heap.

It's not the fastest car I have owned (R36 takes that honour) or the best handling (RX8) but I still get a thrill every time I see it.

At the end of the day I love cars - all cars really. And a mention must be made of the skyline, which has to be the best daily driver I have had.

3rd (Current now off P's) - 2009 Nissan 370Z

Lulz.

I'm jealous! you've been JDM loyal your whole life! Aha i'm the same, turn 21 tomorrow and driven shit boxes my whole time during my p's until now.

Haha, agreed, so sick of driving in for a repair at $1000 a pop on the ADM rare exa and 180 jdm moneypit. I know aftermarket stuff on the 180 is cheap.. But I have no idea how to fix one. The 350GT is sensible, but so much fun. Don't get any attention from the wrong people either ;)

But, yes I'm so lucky. My family is like a freaking Nissan dealer. We currently have 7 Nissans to 6 people.

#1 1978 Series 1 RX7 (extend port goodness)

#4 2002 BMW 530d (Company car #2 while in Germany, 230kph on the autobahn with a full load in the back ah yeah.....)

#5 1996 Mitsubishi Magna TS (Back in Aus....sniff....I want my bimmer back!!!)

#6 2004 BA Falcon XT (it had four wheels and was blue....yay)

#7 2000 Series 8 RX7 (Happy Days at last! V8 bashing in Kalgoorlie, all day long)

#8 2008 Skyline 370GT SP Coupe (I must be getting old)

Dream car: Ferrari F40......my dad bought me a model of one when I was 7 years old and they had just been released. From that day on I knew that I must have one........

    • 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.
