the GF loves the car and is always saying shit to me about it. My comeback is: AND WAHT!!??

But still the car is just a piece of metal, it can be replaced, she cant. The car isnt the most important thing in my life.... My right hand is the most important thing :lol:

My missus lives in the US so she's pretty into the whole FWD 1/4 mile racing. She did an engine conversion (lancer with a MIVEC engine) herself and turbocharged the standard 1.8 engine herself.

She don't mind me playing around with my car but as long as she gets a go too.

my girl used to be 'its just a car' also. its not quite as bad now that ive taught her to drive in it, she got her lisence and now she wants to drive everywhere.. its not 'just a car' as much these days.

shaun.

Uhm... My b/f never really knew anything about cars till he met me.. Now I'm the one asking him all the questions!

It's good to have the same interest. He likes the cruising part... and I love the drag racing part.

Although, I dont let him drive my car much anymore because he seems like he's being taken over by the devil and the cars full pelt everywhere it goes. Apparently.. "that's how a skyline should be driven" he says.. PFft I say.

You hear of chicks who pursuede us men once we get married (etc.) to sell our beloved cars, this happend to my mate, he only had a silvia so I didn't find that too offensive.

Speaking with my missus she said you know your going to get rid of that 32 when we get our house, as I was shocked and about to slap her from here to friday, she said sell it and get a 34. How beautiful...

My g/friend is not really a car chick, but has always had a bit of a soft spot for skylines, so when I got mine she was always wanting to drive it anywere we went. She is even starting to love the brass button, also she has no qualms about me spending $$ on it. She appreciates what it is and loves the fact it's my pride and hobby of choice. (second to her of course, wink,wink)

gf likes the car......thinks its "cute"........

how many times do I have to tell girls...."CUTE" is NOT a word used to describe a skyline !!!!!!!

she likes it...but hates it even when I give it a little bit of boost......have to change at at like 2500rpm when she is in the car.

I was given the choice, the car or the GF... Car looks great!

Seriously though, considering I've spent enough money on my car to buy a half decent property, I can understand why she was upset. My response was, if it's my money, I'll do what I want with it.

She started to accept it once she worked out there was no changing me. She still doesn't like it but knows there is nothing she can do about it.

Wanted: Hot chick who likes cars and is willing to put up with me. Photos a must! Only hotties need apply.

nice work leewah, mine does like the car but hate how much time and money i send on it for only a little bit extra preformance or looks.

but she will come around soon.

i think my girls just a bit pissed at the moment as instead of finishing my r30, like she wanted me too, i spent 12 and a half grand on another r31, me bad....

she'll get over it once we go for a spin....

    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
