Sniff, Sniff...I smell BULLSHIT

i have a 1999 GTR33 again no turbo, no mods, 5 speed manual

Since when were there non-turbo R33 GTR's lol :)

But wait, hang on, didn't you say you had a 34 in another thread...

Skyline GT-R34 ... well sometimes ... im not suppose to but it dont stop me, im allowed to once im off P's ... lol ...

Well, what is it then? R33 GTR or R34 GTR?

PICSORBAN.

Back to www.hot4s.com for you I think - amazingly enough, you might actually find someone who believes you over there :lol:

You guys are so slack... :) But it's funny; and as for the guy buying the R32 GTR, I hope you've got a full time job at a bank or similiar because if you're going to tell us that you're parents will pay for the insurance as well - you've lost all respect from me, just another daddy's boy :(

Im in yr 12 man only 3 more exams left .. and no my parents aren't paying insurance i work for them at their takeaway shop .. so technically they are paying for it but i earned it, so yeah.. as for the dude with the R34 GTR or R33 GTR.. why did you say to go for manual when ALL GTR's come manual lol.. sorry just had to clear that up lolz. :lol:

Edit: And yes i can do it up, i got my P's in very late january and i have no restrictions.

Cheers,

Michael.

Very good... I'm not having a go; I had to earn my Skyline the hard way because my parents would never have bought one for me - so it shits me when kids turn around and say that their parents are buying one for them in full :)

Ohh don't worry man i have to pay them BACK in full, not that i mind, i just can't wait till everything is payed off and its completely mine :) .. i think i'm going sometime this week to put a deposit on it though i hope it's not a lemon even though it is relatively stock, only exhaust and pods which is good for because cheaper on insurance :(

lol same... saved up for my car.. and also has full comp insurance. :D

Now im very broke.. :P

It's not jealousy... far from it; I just believe that if you're going to want something that bad, then you have to work for it - I don't believe for one second that any parent would just one day say "Hey I don't know if you want one but I just bought you a Skyline..."

On the contrary it is usually more like the kid going "PLEASE PLEASE I promise you this and that.... I SWEAR!!!"

In my case i didn't do that.. the car i drove around which was my mums spare car a 91' lancer (piece of crap) got stolen :S .. and now i have nothing to get around in so i am in desperate need of a car and all i done was suggested a Skyline GTR to my parents and all they said was we'll see.. and it is my b'day upcoming within 1 month so you see the connection there. I'm not a guy that begs either it's childish, just ask and receive the immediate answer is all that happens for me, i suppose i was just lucky enough for my parents to agree to it although they do know i love Skylines as i have mentioned them before but never raved about the car to them.

i here blah blah blah

he GKR.. better make sure your parents know what a skyline looks like alright.. don't want to see you disappointed if they confuse it with a camry! lol

btw sorry stan i didn't mean to sound like a bitch.. i really meant to sound like a bit of a smart ass.. but my approach failed...lol

Anyway - I still think its still jealously.. coz you have to work for it and they don't.

Hahaa Liz it's ok.... anyone who knows me can tell you just what type of person I am; I just don't believe that anything comes free in life that's all.

And as for the bitch; yes I knew that already :) JK JK JK!!!

See you on Sunday, be sure to come say HI and rub it into my face :D

i have to agree with the "do your parents know what a skyline is". most non car enthusiast (ie parents) wouldnt have a clue about the car or the engine. they would probably assume its a V6 camry with a nicer body. if they knew the car can rip to 100km+ in under 5sec they would probably reconsider.

oh, i have a question for the guys who reckon only daddy's boy can drive nice cars.

If u see a P-plater(green) driving a mazda RX-8 or a Evo 9, do u immediately assume their parents brought it for them ? to some that could be offensive as they might have worked hard for the car and are currently paying off the loan or paid it off outrite. personally i wouldnt take it too well if some random at the petrol station yelled out, fark u daddy's boy, get a job and stop relyin on daddy, without knowing my situation and how i brought the car.

oh well, stereotyping gets the best of us, nothing we can do. also, jealousy leads to vandalism, don't believe me ? my mum's brand new BMW 525i was key 2 days after purchase.

Hehe thanks mate, good luck to you aswell :angry: .. i only have 2 more exams left and then i am finished FOREVER !!!!!,

sorry to hear that your parents aren't helping you out ay my parents are only helping me because i can work for them and pay that way, but wog parents are REALLY hard to convince to get a good car, my mum is still saying to me why don't i get a brand new car for the price of the R32 GTR, and also says why would you want to pay that much for a 15 year old car <_< .. i told her that it only has 70,000kms on the clock and she reckons thats way to much :\, my dad is all kool with it though :angry: .. so i'm in abit of a ditch at the moment but i'm sure i'll get out of it. This is natural with wog parents, especially greek ones ay it's annoying because it might get sold before i even go and look at it which is on saturday :D .

hey guys im doing my HSC now as well, wish you guys the best of luck. though its off topic i was wondering if you could give me some tips on how to buy used cars. my parents are really fobby so no help there, and im going to check out some r33's in november. basically i wanted to know about rego and how long the buying process takes. my mum said 2 months so i don't believe her. GRK since we're sorta similar could you give me some advice on how to go about it.

thanks

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
