Hey all.

Just a general topic to see how life is after selling a skyline.

Im selling mine and the buyer will be picking it up on friday.

Speaking from past experience, have you regreted selling your car??

Do any cars that you buys after selling a skyline compare??

What do you do with your spare time now that you have nothing to clean or maintain or spend money or, or even take it for a little spin for fun??

Now by no means am i backing out of selling as it is purely a financial choice for me (and i know ill buy another GTR in future) but im kinda gettin sad that its finally happening and im not going to have a GTR to love and look after...?? Ill be pretty devo when i see her leaving up the road in someone elses ownership

Nothing serious, dont want any haters postin, but just after some feedback from people that have sold before.

Im gonna enjoy my last few days anyway..

MAtei regreted it so bad, should never have done it.

A tthe time i was peed off wiht my car and the ni missed it. I bought a pimped beema with tv leather tetc etc but htat didnt cut it. 1 year late ri bought another skyline to replace the hole in my heart. lol

I moved from my SII 33 GTS25T to an SII GTR V-Spec so that wasn't so hard but only after a short period of owning it I'm considering selling it and moving to something a little more practical for my line of work (in which I have to lug bits around and do a few K's now) so that might be a diff story when someone launches it down my street after having collected it =D

Keep your chin up, I don;t wanna get flamed bad for this but in the end it's just a car and I'm sure ther eare many more things in your life to be thankful for =D

you dont ever really get over it... some days i miss my old skyline so bad i think about buying another one in the same colour and doing the same mods to it just to feel like my baby is back... but after a while you notice the amount of money building up in your account and you think "shit!! how much money did i really piss away on that thing?"... so it sort of balances out

Its also got to do with the car you buy next... i lost my liecence so i was walking around for a bit but then i had to get a VX commo for work purposes and to taxi my family around. If you get a slow car next thats an auto, you'll miss the liner pretty bad. But if you pick up a sporty little replacement, than life dun seem too bad.

I think my next car will contain an LS-1 cause im sick of going slow... i wanna go fast again, and to be honest i wanna stay away from turbo's these days. The whole hoon thing is too much of a head fcuk

You'll be fine, I had my highly modded GTR for 6 years until I sold it in November, cant say ive missed it.

couple good replacements i see but..

i cant really say never sold 1.1st line.dont think ill ever part with her

Ive got a good replacement in a brand spanking new BF XR6 Turbo ute, but i dont have the same love for it as i have my GTR.

Just love the way you can hear the nissan spool and boost, and the way you can throw it around and it just grips and feels safe, the brilliant handling.

Even tho iv got the K&N panel filter in the ute, you cant hear it spool or boost, and it doesnt handle nothing like a GTR...

Suppose ill just live with it, and as ctjet said, im sure ill notice with the extra money in the bank.

I sold my first skyline, which i loved so much, as i was sick of getting hassled.

A bit more than half a year later i bought another skyline, i just couldn't resist. Now i'm doing all the things i wanted to do to this, and enjoying every single mod i do, enjoy every single drive i take it for, because i know ill get a bit more mature and sell later.

Enjoy it while it lasts, but there is life afterwards.

Yeah the Evo was the GT-R's replacement, great little car, about half the power of the GT-R but cant say I really used all that power too often.

As for 6L of Commodore V8, had my 1st drive of a VE Clubsport the other day, very impressive.

Yeah i miss mine a bit sometimes.

Yesterday i was driving up my street and i used to just put it in 2nd a put the foot down and it would just so smoothly pull all the way to 100 km.

And now my little pulsar you gotta go through 4 gears to get to 100.

But i've got some plans for something new in the next 2 months.

So i'll be happy again.

    • Thanks for that.... If only I could do something once and be happy with that, like some people do....
    • I had no transmission at all so I managed to find a big box manual gearbox from an R34 GTT for an insanely good price in EU. I converted it to push type which cost more than the transmission almost, with parts from Amayama! These engines are very strong and can put out decent power with a properly sized turbo. You can save on money from parts like pistons and rods, and invest those in the transmission and other parts. I suggest you join the RB20 Enthusiasts facebook group, plenty of info and almost daily posts there about 20DE/DET/Neo+T builds. (I hope I'm not breaking any forum rules by mentioning third party platforms, just trying to help the buddy out)
    • Yeah, having tried all of those methods including BBQ+recipro/hacksaw, I ended up buying a bush press kit under $150 that works well, like this: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/355967727167?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=705-154756-20017-0&ssspo=sfmmuhxgqhm&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=dJvnaZ11TB-&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY It basically has a range of pushers and cups with threaded rods between to press out a range of large bushes. The problem with any sawing solution is minimising damage to the subframe side, although it probably needs a quick sand afterwards no matter what solution you try due to damage
    • Hi. Thanks for the answer. I do not have instagram 😄 I too considering turbo the RB20DE NEO 🙂 But i think i upgrade the gearbox first or at least buy new.  
    • Just pulled the passenger apart so got a good idea, also the side bracket that pivots the top half is completely cooked.. how I don’t know.. haha and paid $400 also included a photo of the passenger seat! She is mint
