$28k isnt an unreasonable price if you look at how much it costs to mod a skyline - it all adds up.

Matt, correct me if I am wrong, but from you list of mods, you probably would have spent mid to high 30k+?

Its really is so bloody expensive when you acutally add all the costs together - depressing sometimes. Perhaps with the new raws scheme the value of a modded car will start to be appreciated a bit more - heres hoping.

hippy, I'm hurt! I keep my car very clean:(...lol

Steve, you got me thinking mate, so I sat down & did a VERY rough list of the cost to date. I was being fairly conservative with the prices too. To date there is at least 30k put into the car on top of the cost of the car itself. That doesn't include some of the work currently in progress. Sard 550cc injectors for one.

I've spent enough money on cars in the last 10yrs to build Munro's drag 33. And I'm dead serious! Kind of makes sense that my missus has had enough.

yeah steve .. ur car was nice too ... but i wasn't as shocked when i saw ur car as matts ... i couldn't beleive the condition it was in .. as if i was in an autosalon ... there was not a spec of grease to be seen ... plus the tyres i bought from u keep deflating LOL can't keep the pressure i want .. so i can't be bothered pumping them up all the time ... just means a softer ride ehehehe ... but from what u tell me about ur car ... i'd love to have a ride soon ... 300rwkw am i correct :) just make sure u have insurance when u give me a ride :D

the tyres may need to be refitted? They never leaked at all when they were on my car - really sorry about that.:)

Autosalon? Matt, what are you doing! I think its paining me more that you to see you sell:D

Insurance is paid up. hoping to head around there, but a few more weeks till the rest of the parts come from japan - then hopefully around 300.

When(IF) she blow, if not sooner if I get impatient, going 3L - or a blower, not too sure which to do first.

    • He obviously had his reason for flipping you off. I wonder what it was...
    • Thats why I stay far, far away from Eastwood. only go there if I wanna eat Korean food 
    • I have to agree like, yesterday, I was driving down the warringah freeway towards the bridge when this jackass driving a beaten up Honda civic cut me off so suddenly it made me almost yank the wheel to avoid him hitting my car. Honestly and he had the NERVE to flip me off (or some other gesture Idk). Im a calm guy, but really some people just dont deserve to have a license, let alone be allowed to drive on densely populated roads/highways. If youre gonna cut through lanes at least use the damn turn signal
    • HPA do an interesting video on tuning, and Adrian shows on the dyno, moving from 10:1 to 12:1 (And I think even 13:1) and the power moves SFA. However, a couple of degrees of timing has a HUGE impact. Exhaust side of things will more be the length of the exhaust and how many bends and turns you have. The straighter you can keep it, the better. By a lot. Oh, and getting the diameter right. Bigger isn't always better. Going to big can actually lose you power.
    • I have to say, most people I see on the road fit the bill of atrocious drivers. Whether they be cowboys in their dual cabs, bogans in the Commodores, or the soccer mums. Pretty much most people on the road put zero freaking thought into driving. Barely look further up the road then the end of their bonnet, and have never even thought about how catastrophically wrong shit can go, by doing what they all deem as normal driving. Especially their late braking, racing to stopped lights, and sitting half a foot off the bumper of the car in front at 110km/h. Wanna know what's even better? By the time their kids get to be old enough to learn to drive, they've already got in the back of their brain what is normal driving, how annoyed you're allowed to get at people etc, and then their parents who actually have zero freaking skill at driving (Even though they constantly say "I've been driving for 20 years and never had an accident!") teach the little twerps how to drive, or should I say, how to make a car move. Literally watched a parent teach their L Plater, on a 4 lane freeway, that you just slam the brakes on, and push your way over, even with a B Double bearing down on you, and that's how you should drive, rather then, just keep going to the next exit. Same shit happens all the time for side streets etc, watching numpties pull dumb shit turns pushing across 3 lanes of traffic, rather than just go up the road another 30 seconds, and take the next turn that'll get you to the same location... Oh, and the damn right lane bandits. Or the retards driving along with their headphones in, and can't hear the ambulance or fire truck right up their ass about to run them over...   Pretty much, people drive on the road, like ego centric f**ks, and don't actually think how dumb shit their driving is, how it could easily kill them or someone else in a split second, or at the very least, how they're driving is contributing to all the shit they're bitching about on the road, like shitty congestion!
