ok ok....guess I should share my perspective here
the car was beautiful...i loved it...hell I've loved all my performance cars but nothing is as special as a nissan...damn that car was a pleasure to drive!
I brought it in Oct 03....and in march 04 i got a a little money together to start playing with it...so I got bullshitted into taking it to a workshop that mad a mess of it...although she was putting out 295kw at the wheels hahaha on the dyno...at 19psi
I tried to get some compensation from the workshop that performed work on it that was by far substandard and in some cases unsafe...but i was wasting my time...
So I took it to pulse...reluctantly...but I was sold the dream..the bullshit
I should have seen the warning signs...cash strapped...putting the bite on me for more and more funds etc...everytime I asked the question..nufin but bullshit.
I start buying the 26 motor, buying parts...all top notch quality to fix the mess and end up getting a bigger mess not to mention parts stolen...
The workshop wasnt insured...cops did nothing...and I was left with a mess for a 34. The car was so bad...bring tears to your eyes to see it compared to what it was.
The cars paint was ruined...thanks to how it was stored, the motor was put in not even bolted to engine mounts, in actual fact sitting above one of them...2 dowell holding the engine to the g'box and only 2 bolts to hold it there....interior parts everywhere etc...the whole thing was a joke...a bad joke.
In the end...like most business decisions you have to decide when to cut your losses...after 2 workshops screwing it...i decided i coudlnt throw anymore money to it...it was going to cost me more to fix then let it go...so as hard as it was...i said thats it...
Now ppl might say he gave up to easy well put it in these terms...I spent almost @10k initially to mod it...then spent around another 10k buying parts for the 26 conversion plus around 6k or so for other bits...etc and all the while still paying for the car....which cost me @40k at the time to buy...
So enuf is enuf...time to let it go...my pockets arent deep enuf to keep it up forever.
I hope in the future to have another skyline...but for now I gotta work my ass off to save up the $$$ I effectively flushed down the toilet
