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!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
