I might be able to spare some space in my front yard if you are able to get it here and praps come to some arrangement. ;)

Remember which parts of your car I expressed interest in the other day?

I'll have to discuss with the Mrs. But if it wasn't sitting round for tooooo looooong and was always under a car cover, could potentially be doable. :thumbsup:

The sheer number of people mentioning insurance is really doing my head in....there couldn't possibly be that many people crazy enough to pay the ludicrous premiums asked by insurance companies to insure such a vehicle, could there? I remember when I first got the car I was quoted over $4000 per year. f**king joke lol

It's almost certainly going to be parted out. The kind of buyer that would buy it for a reasonable amount WITHOUT this damage is also the kind of buyer that wouldn't be overly phased by it, since they're likely buying it for a track project or will be completely overhauling the looks of the car anyway...

I can't recall what parts you were after lol, but I'll see :P Honestly though, I don't want to feel pressured to get it out of the way ASAP, which is why I wouldn't necessarily want to take you up on this. I have no idea how long it would take to do, I don't have stuff like an engine crane to remove the major part, and you're about as far away from my place as you can get haha

Insurance for my 33 (in dads name, with me listed as a driver) is like $1300 a year but it's only insured for like $12000.

Anyway, do the vipec/link 33 gtst ecus also suit 34 gtts? I dont think they do, but If so I might know someone.

I'm 24 now, and wouldn't bother insuring it in someone else's name coz premiums+excess would pretty much make the payout on a write-off worthless unfortunately.

I've got no idea if the ViPEC works for RB25DET NEO sorry...it may very well, since it's massively versatile...but yeah I dunno. Would be one of the easier parts to sell anyway lol

Yeah it's not ideal for you but it's an option if you need it, and as I'm renting, I wouldn't want it floating (boating) around for ever, but a few months covered up (I have car cover) would not be an issue. Hell, I could even help you pull out the bits! Good afternoon entertainment.

I'll give you hint on the parts I expressed interest in. :rofl::rofl:

hahahaha I like that hint, very smart.

I'll let you know mate, really would rather just set it on fire right now but we'll see how I go :P

you going to get another one? just like a $5000 special 32 or something?

Nope. If I was gonna buy another Skyline, I'd get a clean, tidy, straight stock standard R33 s2 for like $8k and just transplant all my mods from this one over to it.

However I really do think I've had enough of the 'performance car' experience. Too many headaches lol

Hahahaha!

Your only 24, drive a normal car for 6 months and tell me that again.

It is possible you can get over it but not likely.

I just think your feeling a bit down today.

Power is addictive. Good luck.

Oh, I'm never gonna get over the driving side of owning a performance car...but I'm beyond done with spending of money constantly lol

I've got a VW Caddy as my daily. 75kw at the fly, 1.6L TDi. I think I know how boring a normal car is to drive :P

buy mine for 10k and just strap your turbo and wheels on it and your golden ;)

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
