Well boys, there is a little rule that I follow in life: you're never too young to make your dreams come true :)

Also, it's control - I divide my money like so;

50% Savings and General Spending

25% on my woman

25% on my car

As you can see; the biggest winner is still ME and the EQUAL placegetters are my car and my woman. No arguements from either :D However, once the mods come to an end - the percentage towards it will 'lean' out and 'richen' towards my woman :D

I just hit it lucky I guess; none of this would be possible now if it wasn't for the care and support of my friend/boss. I owe most of my life to her right now :lol:

And as for the young thing in my reply before; I'm 19 so there's still a long way to go before I'm done :D

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :O

It sucks doing approx 15 hours of overtime per week to try and cover my modding addiction. lol

0% living???

I am in the same boat, when ever something goes wrong I think..nah ill sell my car it costs too much! But then its so nice to drive and so many aftermarket mods to buy :O

My monthly paycheque is:

25% Loan

35% Living

40% Car

The girlfriend gets what ever is left out of living :lol:

i am hopeless with money. I just buy things i want basically.

I have invested a fair amount of money into property (i own a 2 bed appartment).

I bought the GTR and Soarer but don't owe any money on them.

my problem is i just buy pretty much what i want, so even though i have plenty of money coming in, it all goes out again :O

I guess my mortgage is a kind of savings, and i do still put away a few hundred a week (mostly). I just have to try and restrain my self when it comes to spending on the car. it's tough though.

ok i can see you all have something in common.....

i am another that can be added to the list, lately my divisions are:

80% - CAR

20% - woman

0% me and savings...

and yeh im only 20!!!

cars are a money pit, i know this but i just love making it go faster!!!!!

Geez

My budget is more like :

50% - CAR

10% - MISSUS

40% - SAVINGS

Im hoping that after my next purchase (tyres) things will slow down a bit :rolleyes:

You will grow out of it one day tommy , i don't know when though , i still haven't but who cares ....

    • Just trying to get my head around this. At 5psi of boost, you turn on your wmi pump, and then you're using a 3000cc injector, to allow flow upto the actual engine, where you have your 6x200cc injectors and a 500cc injector. If the above is correct, what advantage are you obtaining by having the 3000cc injector blocking flow, is this just incase a line breaks between that injector and the motor you can stop flow immediately? Or are the 6x200cc and 500cc less injectors and just spray nozzle?
    • Welcome! New member myself, but I had an R33 back in 2002. Best advice I could give, based on my experience: if you're running the factory turbo, be very conservative with boost. I made the mistake of just fiddling around with the boost controller and cranking the boost for fun, and the end result was my intake pipes popping off frequently from the constant deluge of oil that was being blown into the recirc by the stressed-out turbo, which itself was siphoning oil from the engine and farting it out both sides of its centre bearing (or something to that effect). If I could do it all again, I would have gotten a new turbo and had a tune dialled in professionally and then just left it alone! Funny you mention the metal shavings in the gearbox, as I had the same thing - the probe plug (magnetic drain plug, essentially) would come out caked with shavings. At least it was doing its job. Not sure if that's just sacrificial wear and part of the deal, or if my gearbox was shagged, but I wasn't abusing it. Enjoy the R33 - they're a dying breed, and if they weren't $35k+ on CarSales in Queensland, I might have picked up one of those again, instead of the 370GT I own now (though I'm loving the 370GT, that big 3.7L V6 just hits different).
    • Howdy folks. I owned an R33 back in 2002, which was thoroughly beyond my capacity (financially speaking) to maintain/insure, so we parted ways in 2004. Fast forward 21 years (to literally yesterday, in fact) and I'm now the proud owner of a 2007 V36 370GT. I'm happily surprised by how much power the VQ37VHR makes, compared to the RB25DET, considering the latter is turbocharged. I had planned to add a turbo at some point but I'm on the fence about whether I'll even need it (though I do love the sudden onset of extra torque). Any other 370GT owners around the traps, I'd love to hear about your experiences with this car (good and bad).
    • Perhaps the answer is... more jacks!* *proper jacks must be used.  
    • I NEVER think about using a scissor jack unless there is absolutely no other alternative. f**king things are dangerous, annoying and stupid.
