So i havent been really interested in my car lately


Recommended Posts

for a while now actually. i remember i used to look at car part sites and save money for what i wanted and drive my car for fun. but now i pretty much only drive my car on the weekends only, and thats just so the battery doesnt go flat.

instead of spending stupid amounts on my car, im spending on drum kits and cymbals and whatnot. i find myself not wanting to drive at times due to police sightings when im driving my 4wd, and really cbf dealing with getting pulled over and raped.

i mean, spending money on my drums is good as its cheaper because i dont need to service anything as much, and only things that break really are sticks, and they only cost $20 anyway. i need to get my wheels ballanced and alligned and whatever, i dont even know anymore. people come up to me to talk about cars and skylines and i really dont bother anymore, just short stunted replies like "yeah its alright" "meh, its ok" etc. i dont even know what parts are good for my car, and i think i need a service as well? i really need to get my interest back on track.....

..........hopefully theres a huge cruise soon :upurs:

maybe you should pull your tumb out your a$$. How often do you actually get out in your car and have some fun in it legally. Weather it be at the drags or on a circuit unless you can unleash the beast its going to get mundane after a while. Have fun in a car that was designed to be driven! Nothing gets me in a better mood then opening up the throttle and hearing the boost come and rev's climb up and up.

Enjoy your car.

what like the jb hifi car? no thanks, i dont want it smashed into the back of a bmw :rolleyes:.

btw i spent $700 not on my car today lol.

im going to start driving it to work more often so i can get into it again. after 2 years i just really got out of interest in it so i better start making it worth getting petrol :rant:

:D nice kit doxximus. I happen to be related to the Zildjian family(although farken distant!)

and know of the quality they offer.

you have good taste in drums, and good taste in cars not to mention in choice of dogs as pets. :)

you will get your interest back in the line soon i am sure.

Hey doxximus

Know exactly what you mean, as mine is a daily driver, getting complacent about the whole import thing. Hmm, perhaps a track day is something i need........ but i better do it soon, just saw a nice audi a4 for sale in the trading post *gulp*

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
