I imported my 33 mechanically stock. Saved most of it, got a loan with the rest. My mum went as guarantor until the car was in Australia, then the car became it. The only money I've borrowed was for this stage, all mods were paid for by me :laugh:

  • 3 weeks later...
i've been workin since i was 12 at my parents restruant i gotta couple of months and i'll have enough for my r33, hehe my first car was the biggest ricer ever :laughing-smiley-014:

Yeah dude, I put neons on my brothers car first, now that I got my skyline, I have not bothered... lol maybe later but it has to look good and slightly visible.

my uncle spotted me 10gs and rest i got from selling my first car.

and no, i'm not a spoilt kid that likes handouts

Years ago he started up a new factory with me as his first employee from when I was 12. After 6yrs of working there the company grew into a multi-million dollar business and as a thank you gift he bought me the car.

i'll still pay him back the money one day...in some way or form.

I had a 98 Missan Maxima and traded it in for my 96 GTS-T.

I have a personal loan for the balance.

I have a lot of equity in the car and when I sell it there will be a profit.

The profits are gone already....damn....had to go for the next Skyline...damn...I'm broke...already!!!!!

Another Bloody American in OZ>....but this one have a cool ases....LINE>>>>>

I think it's good to get a loan so that later in life when you want something worth more than 20K, like a house for instance, lenders can see that your capable of paying money back with out any problems.

My 2 cents worth..............

absolutely. Back when I was ~19 i got knocked back for a mobile phone account because I had NO history of debt. I thought that was a good thing!! Only reason I got a credit card, to build up a credit rating.

    • IMG_8641.mov     She doesn’t sound the best but starts with out using any gas now. I just ran some injector cleaner through her. started roughly the first time after adding it but gave it the beans slowly upto 4k, Must have cleaned a few cobwebs out. another step in the right direction for the sub
    • Sadly I can confirm if you are actually seeking to drift, you will quite easily spin up one wheel. Even if you're going in a straight line. I am not entirely sure of the metrics/terminology here but there's only a certain amount that the helical will actually spin both wheels. I've seen it on video with my own car where two lines of smoke switch over to just one after you really get in to it. Unlike with a clutch diff where you can keep your foot planted until the car regains grip, in my experience with the helical you want to be utilizing traction control allowing LIMITED slip or lifting (partially) when you start to spin up both tyres with a Nissan helical. Which makes them pretty sub optimal for drifting duty. That said... this is probably a helical on numbers alone. Just put the Kazz in
    • Let's just fix the problem by f**king the rest of the gearbox.
    • Unlikely, as per Greg's post. This is not helical diff behaviour unless one wheel is up off the ground. Shimming what? You don't "shim" a mechanical LSD. Probably not in the sense that you have heard of people "shimming" a diff. And the process that Nissan f**kwits call "shimming" a diff involves super-preloading a VLSD cartridge against the side of the diff to create a friction/wear point (in a place that it wasn't supposed to have one) to make the sloppy, useless, viscous diff into a hybrid viscous/mech abortion. In case it isn't clear, I consider the process to be stupid. Nike.
    • How much does the shifter move when the car is in gear with the engine off? If it is more than about 1cm you need to replace your shifter bush. Your shifts will just get crunchier, not faster, with a short shifter unless you also rebuild the whole box
