Getting so sick of it...

My skyline is depressing me.. I'm getting so sick of it sometimes I wish I could bring myself to get rid of it..

I just spent a bit on fixing some damage and fitting a drift wing, the stupid drift wing doesn't fit on the car properly but im happy to have the damage fixed..

The panel beater turned off my turbo timer while it was at his shop and now I can't get it working again, it turns on but it won't get into count down mode.

The stupid thing is letting go of some off rabbit sqeeling sound when on boost and I can't figure out what's wrong with it.

I can't but feel like I want to bang my head against a wall and get rid of this dam car that I can't help but spend my hard earned dollars on...

Thanks for listening, just had to get that off my chest.

Man i feel what your saying sometimes they can be real pains in the arse. Times when it seems nothing goes your way. It's almost as if the car is trying to make your life difficult.

Whatever mod your doing. It's never an easy job there's always some drama to cause a headache...

I felt the same way about my old WRX. So I got rid of it. I felt the same way about my GTR too. It was reliable but I just felt there was more to cars than just that... Now I have my MR2. Yeah I like it now, but I'll get bored of it sooner or later. Then I'll get rid of that. I'm such a car s|ut... :)

You only get sick of it because use it as a daily driver (I bet) Go buy a shita and drive that through the week and on weekends drive you good car. Thats what I do and you really appreciate your car then.

Your right,

i start thinking im over my car sometimes but all i have to do is spend a little time away from her (holidays or when shes getting rapaired or when i borrow someonelses car) and the moment i get back in the drivers seat all my love is restored!

but the love soon fades as i start taking her for granted again.

hey dude i feel your pain, and i'm sure 80% of the ppl on these forums do too...

we go thru ups and downs, cars are just like girlfriends....

up and down, this 'n' that - they cost us heaps and give us headaches, but when they do work, and work well, f*ck, they put a smile on our faces don't they?

cheer up, it ain't all bad

Keep the $2k in your pocket and take it to a trackday. They are 10x more fun on the track than they are on a public road.

That's when the -real- mod addiction starts because you realise their is about another $10k to spend when you thought you were finished :P

my mates uncle up in coburg (newlands road) has got a small panel shop - Ekinci Panels.

$2500 and he'll have your car looking better than showroom. Its a bit up there in the price but he does a hell of a good job.

My missus had her car done there and it came out brand new. Let me know if you still want it done.

      Tein Circuit Master- rebuild worth it?

      By QB6SAGR · Posted

      Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻

      Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”

      Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
