Well, as of about ten minutes ago, my car (and my house and electronics, dog, other pets and mortgage) is all I have!!

Be thankful for all you have. You can always buy another car....maybe an even better one???

i completely agree with you toy33. i sold my gtr and gtst both the same time.. now im regretting it .. so much so i went and bought a S2 steaga just to keep myselg and missus happy.. i think its the time when you buy it stock and spend time money doing it up to your individual taste.. like a dream car .. suddenly its all gone..

my lifes ended in a way ... gone are the days of owning a gtr for me..

I feel that fer any car lover, he/she would feel sad seeing their wotever car leave them, needless to say fer a GTR, which is a car with a racing heritage and all that aura, the pain is even stronger...well in every negative situation, there is a positive to be salvaged out somehow, cheer up! I cannot imagine if i have to let go of my GTR too..

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

:wacko: Thought about it! :laugh:

After a weekend (Genesis - not 6mths) of sulking around the house the girlfriends had enough already :angry: I'm on the prowl for something new! .

Thanks for all the pics guys, good times, except Jason. Now I am seriously looking at two potential track cars this week :)

Now the money pit has been filled in for nearly a week its time to dig another one :woot:

Attached is my tribute to my ex *bottom lip starts to shake and eyes to start to water*

I sold my R33 GTS-t in Feb because my missus was pregnant and I was meant to buy a house, after about 2 months i just couldn't take it any more and bought a stock R33 GTR ... I just can;t stand to be without my skyline but i know I'll have to sell it in about a years time when i buy a house - espically now intertest rates are on the rise :(

I feel your pain and if it makes you feel any better I did actually shed a tear the night i went home and saw no R33 in the shed :)

Thanks for all the pics guys, good times, except Jason. Now I am seriously looking at two potential track cars this week :thumbsup:

OI! :(

You are doing the right thing. When I sold my GTR I still had to have a car to go to the track with, and although the GTST is not as quick (about 2.5-3sec a lap slower), it won't cost me as much to get it as quick and the money pit isn't quite as big and I am still out there having fun.

BTW, didn't I pass you just after that pic I posted :P

that was one mean gtr! I dont know how i will cope either man.....so ur not alone...

*just turned around to look at the r33 gts-t waiting in the driveway*

Think i might go hug my car now........

So maybe looking for a cefiro? $55k? (thats what a subaru 6cyl blitzen liberty is worth these days yeah? hey lets make it $53k cash, Im sure I could haggle a deal)!

Yes sad tho. All your money goes in to it, then you sell it for less than your 3 top mods.

BTW, didn't I pass you just after that pic I posted :D

I don't think so Jason, I spun thank you :) Oh no that was on the warm up lap. Sorry yes you were a tad faster than me that day in the wet. I think I drove like my granma that day :O

This is one of the main reason I sold the old girl. It sat in the garage more than it got driven, and when it did get driven I was stressing about all the idiot bloody drivers/racers we have on our roads, where i parked it etc.

Also when it did enter the track I didn't find the GTR's limits as I was (a) worried about putting it in the wall :P or (b) spinning a bearing :D:D Therefore I am looking at a R33 Gtst II again (I had one previously and I am not copying you Jason!) or a cheap R32 Gtst with a 2.5 conversion. As well as putting some $$$ back in the bank.

Given all that, I wouldn't have not owned a GTR as there is just nothing like driving one and anyone that is thinking of buying one go for it, just be aware that you will also have to grab a shovel and start digging a money pit as they not only enjoy being driven hard they also enjoy having money spent on them (there's a joke in there about my girlfriend but I will not go there :O )

*Also looking at a MY00 STI Version 6 in a week, but keeping it quiet on this site*

    • I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k . 
    • Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?   
    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!  We are a pack of know it alls....  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree!  
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
