How long did you want your skyline before you got it?

Im still saving my hard earned money to get the Car i want, and ive wanted a Jap import for nearly 2 years now.. and its killing me waiting this long! ive even had a couple of dreams about a black R34 and a white R34!!!!!!!

i think im going crazy?!

So what did you guys do while you waited and saved? How did you cope? or wernt you as obsessed?

Takes me normally....2 Years to work out the car I am happy with.

I make myself dizzy with all the options..

-Will it suit me?

-Will it keep its value?

-Will I get bored of it quickly?

-How much do I really want to spend on it?

-Am I going to modify it or just put some rims on(A MUST)?

-ON AND ON...it goes.

I then finally after seeing all the options for sale out there.....DECIDE.

Then it takes me 1 to 2 Months to find one that I am happy with.

Looking at all the shit out there...trust me.....you learn quickly why there is such a price difference.

Last two cars i have bought...the deal had fallen through...which sucked.

Then I had to look another 1 to 2 Months.

Trust me....if I could only save to get to this point , and knew the car I wanted it would be easy.

Cheers :laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh::laugh:

hmm - well I was 15 when I imported a Nissan Stagea from Japan :laugh: Back in the day when P platers could drive turbos. I guess waiting for a car from Japan is worse than actually the wait to save up for the thing itself. Anyone who has imported will say the same thing... But yes - I am obsessed :laugh:

    • Take this with a pinch of salt, it's from someone (me) who got annoyed with turbos entirely. I hated aftermarket lines. If I had the option to use hardlines with whatever turbo I had - I would use them, 10/10, 100% of the time. The only reason people go larger, heat resistent, shielded lines etc is because they have to. And yes they don't last forever. Even if you spend big bucks on all the best heat shielding money can buy, with the best heat resistant, fuel resistant, oil resistant, radiation resistant hose, they get stiff and break down and just don't last the way a metal pipe will.
    • Unfortunately I am quite literally halfway across the globe. So all sources for parts like that are far away for me. What do you mean by that exactly?
    • Put a piece of tape on it.   If it's that gone, you would be seeing it on the balancer. It would look rooted. Not in this universe.
    • If you’re in Australia and need a one piece tail shaft give propeller shaft repairs in concord a call. They do all the big Sydney cars and they don’t vibrate at all don’t get one either cv joints, they bind and cause the vibrations 
    • Want to change and monitor if it robs again   could be my harmonic balancer is gone   do you reckon it can be bent crank , don’t believe so at 600+ hp that would shop very quickly so can think either harmonic on way out or at somepoint in car life it wasn’t tightened so balancer wobbled
