Borrowed the full amount for my car

Would have liked to pay cash and save few grand but couldnt wait the couple of years.

"I Boostzor hereby vouch that i will never again use public transport more than a couple of times a year"(all well and good for u eastern states ppl who actually have decent public transport system. Over here every house has 3 cars or more.)

My Skyline died in the first month of my first full time job and while beating the frell out of it on the side of the freeway i told myself i would never own such a hunk of junk again so i went and bought a Toyota.(was '80 c210 skyline btw)

So yeh bank will still own my baby for a few years to come:(

Best offer I could get for a lease was 2yrs/50% resid, I said "you're joking" and wrote a cheque. Funny thing is, the finance company was right, they do loose 50% f their value in 2 years:(

Lease is always the winner for a depreciating asset if you can get it pre-tax (salary sacrifice)

No car yet, I'm planning to import under the 15 year rule in 2004 (Can get either 1988/9 Cefiro or a 1989 R32 - R32 is at the top of my list) which is the only way you can import a modified car now also. Doesn't need compliance plates either = cheap way to import. I think it's worth the wait.

    • Hard to say, just pop the rocker covers off and have a look if you think it's cammed. You probably need to replace the valve cover gasket/half moons anyways.
    • From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 😢 
    • Remember this is 1988 tech.
    • Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.    
    • heh, aint no R32 ever meeting modern targa cage rules unless the driver is veeeery short OP, good luck with the sale, since its already in the land of freedom I'm sure you will find a good buyer.
