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!

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
