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!

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
