But if we weren’t building these we’d be bored 

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?

LOL sport for the rich!

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

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

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

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

  • Thanks 1

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.

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.

    • BRUH, one of the biggest mistakes of my life..... and i've had plenty ;[)
    • @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
    • Echo the awesome sentiment 👍 Definitely a car worth saving. Looking forward to seeing updates as well.

    • It's funny, as Ive seen plenty of people use them in cheap builds on YT. And they actually go okay, even though a lot of other maxspeedingrods stuff is terrible. Those turbos seem reliable enough, the only part being, a good quality turbo that is "identical" to it, will out perform it day in and day out. In both a lower boost threshold, and the ability to flow more air at the same boost pressure. As a cheap cheap replacement, not a terrible choice. For cheap and shouldn't blow in a day, not terrible (like other eBay/Temu turbos) for low cost and still decent performance, that's where the question comes in to play from the results I've seen. I'd actually find it hilarious to buy one, and strap it to a paddock basher or some other cheap as POS originally NA car, and send it to the moon!
