You turn the stereo off, because the FUCHS! sound of the wastegate is way better anyway.

Bahahaha, +1 man. I drive to work along the Northern Ring Road, and I find myself pressing pause, so I can rev and flutter @ 103km/h.

.. when you walk back to your Skyline at the end of work, and shriek "Skywiiiiiiiiin" when you come back to your baby. (seriously got some looks once when I did that infront of some people, LOL)

... you come on here, read all these posts and feel like you're not paying enough attention to your baby, so you jump into some trackies and a hoodie, go outside at 9 PM and enter the house for the first time at 11:15 PM, satisfied that you have scrubbed/vacuumed/dusted your interior to the last inch, and have opened the bonnet to rub down every freaking part that you could reach with a dry cloth to ensure 'she' feels appreciated.

When your car is parked and you still get pulled over

Haha. Its happened to me too. I was parked while my mate went in to buy some drinks for a party, I was laughing cos my mate looks like he's 15 even though he's 20 and cops were driving right by him, and the cop parked next to me... signed me to put the window down and said: "Just take it easy son". I'm like: "Um... Always" and he goes: "I know what young kids like you do in them powerful cars and it never ends up pretty, so just take it easy."

And then he reversed and took off.

Sorry for digging but i read this thread all the time and felt that i had to input...

You know you drive a skyline when your driving down the road and see a booze bus with plenty of coppers and you turn in the nearest street only to see other skyline owners hiding and biding time.

you get pulled over by the cops only to have your mate in the back seat do a perfect impersonation of a VL turbo flutter+scream and have the cop jump around and look for it (true) LOL.

and you know that the only thing that can beat chuck norris is a skyline.

when the young girls think its 'hawt' and the older ones think you're retarded for owning it.

When no one believes it'll smoke a f**king mustang gt and you cant prove it because of a boost leak.

When your friends always try to get you top trade it for a mustang, even if it does have 600hp and nitrous hookups its no skyline.

...when you are on a airplane sitting on the tarmac the plane is taking off and you make BOV sounds shifting gears only to have some other kid think your retarded.

    • Realized I haven't been back here in a while. Still here, still alive, still waiting for the car.  I went back again the only time last year from Oct-Nov for R's Meeting and drove it around some more, including a few laps on Fuji Speedway(in the wet, sadly). The car still feels good, but have a couple small things to address. I've been getting more parts but have slowed down still, and most of the bigger purchases are now out of the way. I find myself getting impatient more and more when it comes to getting started on this project; it's quite hard for me not being able to really dive in and start making this car my own because it's halfway across the world. At times it doesn't even really feel like I own one of these. Haven't really been motivated or had the desire to document the last trip on here or social media for, well, reasons... but here's some pics...it's also still alive and well as you can see: I've narrowed down to the last large part purchases(anything over $2k) before the engine build to be: 1) Ohlins Road & Tracks 2) ATS Twin Carbon clutch 3) Endless BBK with some custom options and 4) Kansai Service carbon driveshaft I don't think the budget exists for all of these this year, but I'll try for one or two items I think. Though, every time I look at my spreadsheet I sigh, shake my head, and get depressed just that little bit more.  'til later.
    • It's a stunning location!  I've been to NZ twice but haven't made it to the North Island yet.  Definitely on the cards but the South Island is hard to tear yourself away from too... Looking forward to see what you can wring out of it once you can get it to hold together!  Be awesome to get a low 11 or even sneaking into the high 10's pass out of it.  That's a bloody quick car that most people will never experience in their life.  Enjoy!
    • Nominally yes but I’m not really at that stage yet. Outsourcing to Japan is also a relatively good deal at the moment because their currency has devalued much more against the USD.  You would assume this but a lot has changed from the pandemic. Mechanics are in short supply and demand for fixing old cars has gone up from the cost of new cars. 250-300 USD/hr is not an unusual shop labor rate in California and you’re paying that regardless of whether the guy is competent or not. Coworkers have been quoted 3000 USD for a water pump and thermostat at a dealer on an N54. Oil changes went from ~75 USD to 150 on fairly normal cars like Civics. The cost of the oil and filter hasn’t even kept up with inflation.
    • The downside to that is that the cost of everything, particularly labour, is significantly higher here than it is over there in the Disunited States of Slavery. You can hire 3 tradesmen over there for just the Ranger Raptor allowance of a single 3rd year apprentice over here.
    • Shit. Starting to look like a car again.
