Dudes, is owning the Lineskys really that much?

Boostkid, I started working at Target. I've been at Uni since I was 17.

Now I work in Promotions as a shift supervisor, as a Casual. (Easily less than 20hrs/pw.

Still at uni doing Design (Hopefully to Design the cars of the future)

All my cars were bought with my own raised legitimate money. All with cash.

First car- Gloss black 77 TA23 Celica with 3TGTE.

Then i got a lancer. Then imported a 300zx. Then got an Mx5. Then got a 180sx. Now im waiting on my R32 GTS-t

I work like a slave as a second class bitch on I.T.

EDIT: thought I better add a bit more...I am 21 and had the R for about 8 months now. I don't have any other commitments other than getting drunk on weekends :). A few of you have just reminded me, I haven't changed my oil in about 7 months :D (8,000k's@mo)

maccas do pay OK.  way better than hungry jack's that's for sure.

Also maccas is good on a resume.

I'm at target cos I have a retail cert 2. and I like the people in my store and the experience I get.  Hours are good and pay is ok.

I made 480 bucks in one week and i'm 17 just because I did 2 full public holiday shifts :D

im a delivery driver, i was at school. hopefully ill get in this year at tafe! i only do 20 hours work and get paid $400 but i use about $70 a week on fuel... but i work 6 days a week coz i work only afew hours at night.

I work in an office for an insurance broker. I'm 21, permanent full time. And I have an R32 GTR. Had it for just under a year.

I change my oil every 10,000 km's :P hahaha. Oil changes are cheap as if you do it yourself lang....

My fuel budget per fortnight is $200. Most of that is taken up driving to and from work (65km's a day in the R), but it also allows me generally 1 cruise a fortnight and a bit of running around on the weekends. I think the only way I can afford my car on my wage is because I am very good with money & budgeting.

I did work at Woolworths when I had my MX-6 Turbo, my S13 Silvia and my old R32 Skyline.

I now work at a wholesale distributor and bought a TE Cortina with a 1JZGTE, I still have that as well as a R32 with a stroked RB25DET, and for my daily driver I have a KE70 Corolla.

The only way I can afford to keep them all is I stay casual, as the pay is about $90 a week more then full time. I have never had a holiday in my life (time off I mean) because if I don't work I don't get paid. The overtime is good $30p/h for time and a half and double time $40 really makes me happy. However there is no guaranteed overtime so I take as much I as can get when it comes up.

I am going to change professions in about a week though, and become a driving instructor. This should see me paying off at least one of my loans. Then it’s house time for me, all the while I am living at home with someone else (tenant) paying off most of the home loan I hope.

haha i was kidding, i do do it myself every 4000km

Lol. I thought it was a bit pov haha. VERY glad it was a joke....If I changed my oil every 4000km's I would get about 2 months out of it!! I do about 500km's a week :D

3rd year apprentice sparky! im 20.... saving for about a year and a half for my 33gts-t...it was so worth it!! everyday when i wake up for work all i have to do is think of the drive there and im happy...but i have also spent about the same on investments as i hav on my car....so i guess u could say ive been a little bit "sensible".....lol :(

My GTR is only a Toy and in the last 12 months I have done about 6000kms in it.

(In which time it has had 3 oil Changes!)

I own it outright, as well as my 2002 TJ Magna

I am not good with money, and have wasted absolutely Thousands of $$$$ on cars since getting my license, I Have had well over 30 cars, infact the only reason I own both cars now is 'Time' as I myself am well over 30! :P

(Dont laugh it comes around pretty quick, before you know it you'll be 30 to :):( )

    • Getting holes drilled into to cam covers and AN10 fitting welded on. My sump has 2x AN10 fittings on it already. These are the options I have come up with that can be done without needing to remove the sump to add more fittings. In all options front of passenger side cover connects to VCT head drain bung (i know this isn't the best spot but my feeling is it must do something). Option 1 (pink). The back of each cam covers gets its own line to sump. Option 2 (blue). The back of each cam covers are linked and share a line to sump. The front of drivers side gets its own line. Option 3 (Black). Drivers side are Tee'd together and share a line to the sump. Passenger side rear gets its one line to the sump.
    • I'd be surprised if Nissan doesn't mention it in the manual as it seems unlikely that a tensioner is going to last 200,000km.
    • Tapin,    So got mine up and realize a few things. First was my slave line doesn’t reach the other side, so I have to get a longer hose made. I want to ask did you have to extend your wires for the CD009 sensors? One on the driver side(right side of car looking at the car from the rear) and one on the passenger side( the left side of car from rear). And do you know what those two sensors are respectively? I know it’s not Speedo since we talked on this already. And I may have to separate the trans again to swap out throw out bearing. We will see. Did you run your RB slave cylinder? I know you cracked your original but replaced it with a nismo. But wasn’t sure if you bought the one designed for the CD009 or not. Thanks 
    • There is X amount of load on a timing belt. Adding bigger duration cams and valve springs will certainly add some to that figure - but there is no way in creation that you need "300% stronger". There are plenty of big power RBs and JZs running stock belts. There have been more complaints about noise from Gates belts than there have been reports of stock belts dieing young.
