Hi *wipes tear* All *wipe tear*

Just let go of my R33 GTR today and honestly nearly cried :(

My girlfriend looked at me like you're a bloody tool. Was they same when I sold my 33GTSt over a year ago.

What do you think makes us guys (and girls) attached to our bloody cars so much, they are only forms of transport and hunks of metal *slaps myself* :D Sorry had a moment then.

Luckily the guy that bought it lives in Perth so there is no chance of seeing it around and maybe stealing it back for another moment of passion together *slaps again*

Oh well back the corner to huddle in a ball and weep.

There is nothing wrong with public transport... what could be more class than cruising around with 50 other people; driven by a professionally trained driver; being issued with your individual boarding ticket; and in a luxurious Merc/Volvo without seatbelts?

Best of all you get the lovely aromas that waft around - and if you're real lucky you might rub against someone who's sweating like a pig!

PS: your life is not over; you're still alive - you're just going to spend the rest of your life in misery :D

She wouldnt understand, and its probably just her jealousy surfacing over you having a relationship with a car.....aswel as her :yes:

Go buy another one, you know you want to :blush:

(Best thread this week!)

im the same, i know finacially i should not have my car at all....i dont own a house, dont own anything but a car.....thats just crazy.

but i can not sell it...not now.......i guess im not strong enough mentally to do what is right..

at least you achieve what you wanted to achieve by selling it......maybe one day, you will get another one aye?

If your missus doesn't understand, maybe you should have just sold her instead....

    • Reading your posts Josh, sometimes I feel like I've gone in a time machine back to the 90's when everyone was doe-eyed and figuring things out for the first time.  I've lost track of how many single turbo GTR's I've seen on track that haven't burnt down lol. Everything has been figured out a long time ago. These things are at the point now where its essentially turn-key to go single turbo. 
    • Among other things yes. Making sure to either use an oil pressure regulator or the right restrictor size for your oil pump/range of oil viscosities you intend to run, making sure you plumb the lines correctly, turbo should be placed such that it siphons properly even when the water pump isn't turning so you don't boil coolant in the turbo after shutdown, oil return should be low resistance and also preferably picking the one that is most likely to return to the pickup as opposed to some other irrelevant part of the pan. It's far from impossible to figure this out but I have seen people really, really struggle and if that's the case it's easier to just take the path of least resistance. To me, bolt-on twin turbos are a fixed cost whereas single turbo is almost unbounded.
    • Latest round of updates on the car. I purchased and installed a SWS clutch slipper to help with 60ft times and got some second-hand good condition 275/40R17 Hoosier DR2 radials. Test and tune in November showed the tyres were an upgrade over my over 15 year old mickey Thompson's and I got a 1.8 second 60ft and pb et of 11.71 but even then, that run wasn't great due to rain and driver error (the event got called off 10 minutes later fast forward to the weekend just gone 25th of Jan and there was finally a break in the weather to let racing happen. The first run the track was slippery and only managed a 12.1@129 Second run the track was better and got a new pb et and mph: 11.54@131   Lith and I then worked out that I installed the previously mentioned clutch slipper incorrectly and its never been working, and I had just been dumping the clutch the entire time, we also noticed it was on street boost and not race boost. So I lined up for a third run with the car turned up in the first two gears, but the passengers side axle objected to clutch dumps and left the chat which stopped my weekend.   so there will be another attempt in the future once I replace the tyres as they rubbed and are stuffed now. but a low 11 should be on the cards.
    • Ceramic coating and heat shielding, you mean?
    • Turbos don't require pulling the motor apart so that's "easier". I would recommend the Nismo R3 turbos instead if you want to do stock twin turbo. It doesn't make as much power as the 2530s but it's only like ~50 whp off the mark and should have better response (ball bearing CHRA, slightly smaller turbo). A local that went with a Garrett G30 and 6boost manifold recently nearly burned his car to the ground after the hood insulator started melting and and burning so if you go single turbo I recommend doing a lot of research and validation work to make sure you don't do the same.
