I would probably have a meth addiction or  be a heroin addict.

Suppose building cars is better on the health however consumes as much money lololol

I need to go racing again, I think I am having withdrawals.

I got into golf. Spent as much on memberships and 'upgrades' than I did on the stag lol 

 

What will be your first track for a shakedown?

Probably Wakefield Park as always, but my track record has been bad. Last 3x track days, binned 2x motors 😂

No no no

Keep Skyline for cruising and street fun

Buy something you don't care about binning or breaking for the track

I would hate to see you scratch those shiny panels

But that's what R33s are made for, is it not?

😎

Probs clear wrap the front end

I think its time you get a dirty track car like a 130/135i 😂🤣

That's what they were for when they were cheap and parts were cheap and plentiful

You might be onto something here! No need for a RB30 swap.

A few friends run them in production car sprints & hill climbs. Seem to be pretty good thing and cheaper than an M2/3/4 flappy paddle, farting gearshift thing.

135i are quite affordable, just reflash dis dat, FMIC, dump pipe/de cat and you're at 300kW on 98RON

Man, maybe I should sell my tulip-R and buy yours, much much better than mine.

Immaculate, you have my vote for AutoSalon.

Also BMWs suck, 1L/3,000km of oil is considered normal wtf. My GT-R overheating at EC used 0.5L

[Dose Pipe Sutututu]

But it doesn't have that "street cred" clout dis dat GT-R status.

GTS-t will always be like Bottas in Mercedes, make room for the the GT-R aka Hamilton.

But hey, I'll let it go for $60k lol.

Wife said I can buy a M3 hehe but need to sell the boat.

[Kinkstaah]

So have you driven one yet?

Why do you even want a M3? It does nothing better (incl reliability and cost) than your current vehicle for spirited driving.

It is all downsides.
Please explain.

No, I've been in a M4 and was driven in anger and I was impressed it was 100% stock.

The R33 doesn't spark joy anymore. Just sparks anxiety, defect anxiety, attracting randoms stopping in the of my house asking if it's for sale.

I want a fast boring looking car that kind of blends in.

Can I interest you in a LS swapped R34 Sedan? I assure you it is boring as hell but considerably more everything to drive than a current M3 comp.

(it is also completely and utterly invisible)

Drive a M3, then Buy a Golf R. Or a GR Yaris or something. Or a GR Supra or something. The M3 is not an enthusiast vehicle. It is a more-capable-than-you-expect luxury car devoid of feeling.
