yeah i know how ya feel

Engine Blew

I crashed it

Someone broke into it

Someone slammed a trolley into it.

It drinks fuel like theres no tomorrow

It never starts first go

It does some weird arse shit

Its cost me about $10K this year

But you know what ....... I still love it ..... I enjoy driving it - i dont enjoydriving an old bomb .... slow cars send me insane .... my cars like a drug - cost me lots but i have to have it.

Just vent like we all do ;) ....... then think about what life would be like without it :)

Hahah Ascots no better and yes id love to catch the little phucktards that broke into my car too.

Well with any car leave it stock and you'll have little problems ...... mod it and you'll be constantly fixing it.

Memphis traded his Skyline for a new Ford Ute

Im sure you can get deep scratches out without a full respray - my mum had her new HSV keyed (yes its not just a skyline thing!!) and certainly didnt have the whole car resprayed to fix.

Brendan,

I think we all go through that stage. Hell, as Niz listed, most of us have done the "break one thing, fix it, break the next thing". It's an expensive little exercise to say the least, never mind some other little poor excuse for a human doing damage to your beast. That really gives me the shits. The thing is, I know that when i get home or get back to my car in the car park and look around, I love what I see when i see my car. Look around, they stand out, they are a great car. I have considered many a time what i would get next but can't find a worthy substitute under $50K. Nothing comes close.

I don't think that i could walk out of my house, look at my ford ute and smile everytime like i do when i see my skyline. It's a sense of pride I just can't compare against.

Just think about it, especially considering you only just got your R34!

Cheers!

What else you going to spend your money on?

If you need it for something else, then you can't afford your car, fair enough..

But skylines are a hobby not an investment, hobbies are expensive, surely you realised this before you bought it? ;)

get a bucket of crap ole rx7 (no offense to anyone, some can look shmicK!)

but yeah, mod the engine etc to crap leave the rest looking stock as a rock and i dont think they will touch it... (or use an ole datto!)

;)

jks

skylines are the bomb... i just always wish i had more money to do more mods, but dont we all ....

ever since the day I bought my car I've been trying to find the blasted turbocharger, but I can't... stupid thing... I'm so over this... what's it called... oh yeah... R32 GTS!

    • Wow ELVIS. You have an....interesting approach to conversation. Did you not notice that I wasn't talking to you?
    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
