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

    • Kinda glad I never got to this ..    https://www.facebook.com/groups/1483859159195077
    • @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.  
    • I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.  
    • Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.
    • Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
