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:

    • Strength. And on the early RB26, full engagement of the pump drive.
    • I really don't understand the point of aftermarket oil pumps if your particular engine doesn't need more oil pressure. As far as I can make sense of it the problem seems to be cavitation from sucking air, maybe the pump gear design with how it interfaces with the OEM crank, and maybe the backing plate screws wanting to loosen themselves. How does flowing more oil fix these issues?
    • More photos are up, and the price has been dropped to $16,000. It's just had a service and a new 12V battery, too.
    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
