and here i am, the sucker that brought cams car!

j/k its goin quite well and am enjoying it

to introduce myself, i come from the other side of the fence, previously owning aussie car. My last car was a supercharged vt ss commy, and before that a vh group 3 brock commy, and before that nothing worth mentioning.

A few of my mates got into the import scene a few years ago, and having driven thier cars, when it came time to replace the vt (which is now a piece of mangled metal in a wreckers yard, ooops) i decided to go for a skyline, and cams pretty much fit exactly what i was after. so theres the story.

Good luck with the mu cam, i can see it runnin 11s quarters before the end of next year ;)

I just decided that I wasn't able to do the things I wanted to do while I drove the 32. I am into rock climbing, abseiling and camping etc so having the 32 limited me to sealed roads which meant that I haven't been able to do those things. I also want to get into some serious 4wding and from what I have seen you don't need a v8 powered rig to do it in. I have always liked the MU's so it was an easy decission to make, they have all the electric options etc and are fairly comfy to ride in. Power is a bit less than my 32 ;) with only 80kw at the engine.......dam. But with some boost, exhaust and filter we should be able to sort out some more usable power.

Basically there comes a time in ones life (For me it was my 25th birthday) when you realise that there are more things to life than spending every cent on your car. When an interest becomes an obsession then you need to seriously look at sorting yourself out.

I absolutely loved my car and will always like it and will often look at all the photo's of it but I had to make a choice, I didn't have the money for both so it had to go. For the last 2 years I haven't had any money to spend on anything apart from my car so its time to start living a bit, going on holidays and looking for a relationship with someone other than my car :)

cameron, im glad you are happy, you have been very nice, and helpful to many here,

firstly, i agree a time comes when you realise that you shouldnt spend all your money on your car, thats not here for me yet so hahaha, but i see in a yr or 2 i wanna put a deposit on a house etc...

seocndly, when you said when hobbies become obsessions you need to re evalute them,

i only think this is true, when obessesions become either too exspensive, or stop you from other things

thirdly, stick to rock climbing and abseiling, rather then your poems ;)

finally, good luck in the new year, and i hope all goes/stays well

Congratulations Cam, glad you sold it (I emailed you about it a few times but ended up getting a big loan and a 33 GTR).

Hope to see you on the tracks someday, drop me an email sometime if you're intereted in meeting up and doing some real slow driving :mad:

PS Boxhead: Don't kid yourself that a 4WD means he won't still be spending all his money on his car, my GTR has a lot of catching up to do before it eclipses the cost of the 4WD. At least the tyres are cheaper on the GTR :eek:

I doubt if I will be spending too much on the MU, probably just a small sus/body lift (4") and maybe some big rock crawler tyres and maybe a new exhaust system and perhaps a water to air intercooler or perhaps a unichip and a big stezza along with some black rims, tint a 9000lb whinch but apart from that I doubt I'll do anything else:D

Seriously though, what I will be doing is saving for any mods instead of getting loans etc.

Here is a pic of my new ride which I'll get on the 6th

    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
