Good Advice? or just nagging idiots?

[VL-TRBO-RB20]

i got hastled about buying my car from my mum n stepdad but there was nothing they could do in the end but everytime somthing stuffs up i get the story you could of a nice newer car for the same price blah blah blah but no nice newer car for the same price has the suction of boost n BOV!!

my m8s gf always gives me sh!t oh somthings always going wrong, but to maintain your car at its best you have to spend money and what gives me the irrits is that she likes my car when she wants me to drive her somewhere coz my m8's lost his license hahaha and dont knock me untill you get your own car!!!

thats my outburst

Numerous times during the importation of my R32 GT-R I have thought "this is a stupid expensive folley", but that's the kind of person I am. If your in doubt, hop in the car for a drive

Coming from an asian family was hoping my wouldn't know what a turbocharger is. He knew and fumed.

When he found out my car was TWIN turbo, my ears started to ring for weeks on end.

That's the thing, he can't say anything about it costing too much to maintain coz I'm a mechanic so I do all my own work, I get parts at rediculously low prices through work and I never had to spend a cent in two years on it except services, which I do myself.

The only thing is now I have done the full rebuild he told me it is a waste of money and I argued and argued. Forge pistons...blah blah it'll be stronger now and the engine will last me for another five years(which is what I want it to do). 2000 k's after the rebuild...turbo shits itself, now he refuses to help. I got no way to get to work (he has two cars and usually lends one to me). He is just trying to prove a point. Turbo is only gonna cost me 600 to repair and was only a result of the engine going in the first place...it was only a matter of time. Now everyone keeps telling me to sell it and it's not worth anything.

Tell me this...please...anyone.:

R32 in good condition

Hyflow turbo

Large front mount

huge fuel pump

bigger reg

fully rebuilt, forged Ross pistons, balanced, blueprinted engine

race and comp bearings

ported head

lightened flywheel

button clutch

300 RWHP

I did everything myself except the balance...total cost $6000 over 2 years

I could sell this for $16,000 right? (not that I want to)

but I reckon it would be worth that with a good turbo back on it.

NOT ONE PERSON BELIEVES ME....They reckon "those cars aren't worth anything"

yeah right.

I WANT MY CAR DRIVING AGAIN....I WILL CRUSH WHOEVER STANDS IN MY WAY. lol

I'm not listenin to any of their crap, coz every person who has ever bagged the 'line', I have taken 'em for a drive and suddenly they want one...funny that hey.

That's all from me...BTW I'm not cryin or anything, just gettin the frustration out on the keyboard.

easy $16000 man, if you find the right buyer i'm sure...$18,000 wouldn't be outta the question.

anyway other than that just sounds as if your surounded by negitative people, you need either a holiday or a trip/track day with some other turbo/skyline drivers.

i was in kinda the same boat, not as bad as it sounds with you thou, i was one of the only people i knew with a 2L turbo imported car, then one of my mates baught a s15.

After that, the gloomy people disapeared and now every weekend it's a cruse down to the beach or to other little towns in the surrounding area.

In short my 2 cents would be: Get a turbo friend, get the cars out on the open road and road trip.

[The Dan]

yeah, I'm hoping to get it out for the massive cruise up here on the 28th.

Should iron out some of my bugs and destress me a bit.
