It's Jesus, lol.

I was faced with the same options but without dumping a whopping great V8 in my Nova ... buy the Skyline dude, if you live at home you'll always have a free hot meal and most of the living expenses are paid for. At least until you get a well paying job or pay off the car.

I'm actually looking to move out myself now that I have a decent paying job .. I can finally afford both =P

jesus never had a dad, what would he know about bonding with your old man while putting in a chev engine into your R32.

drop the 358... be different (and it'll be cheaper than moving out).

thats a really good point

thanks for the comments guys, just found out the place i was looking at and very keen on does not offer any car parks for any of its 500 residence, which is well f**ked for want of a better word.

however, the moving out is not off the table i just got to sort my shit out i guess.

Man, if you live at your home maybe. Live at my home its 15% (used to be 20% until the Ps paid off the house) of take home pay is board, and I have to cook tea at least 4 nites a week. Amoung other things.

You guys have it way too easy.

u think they have it easy.. all my mates are being given ther cars.. 16k yaris, 20k rollas and my bro got a 25k GTT.. and i worked my lil ass off for a 13k GTiR and sold for 15k :)

new gen have it sweet as..

My brother put in a carby chev into his 33 and it was a big mistake as so many things didnt fit and had to be custom made and cost over 20k (that did include a few other things)without it being complete yet. Its not the basic engine swap ppl think it is

Um just something to look into... im not sure exactly on the rules nowdays its been a long time since ive bothered looking.. But im pretty sure u cant put an engine in a car that wont meet at least its production years emission standards.

basic?!?!?! who said it was basic.....the amount of mod plates you need is crazy, and i am surprise he got away with it for 20k.

Keep looking, don't settle for somewhere you're not happy with :) When I used to rent we'd look for ages to make sure we got places with lock-up car parking.
You dont want to be living at home forever like mark
:laugh:

    • Hi all, Long time since I've posted here. Looking for some advice on what I can remove to further identify the cause of my issues.  I can move the passenger seat forward and back but the knob used to adjust the seat angle is pretty much free spinning, there's very little resistance.  Removing the side cover I can see that the chain is intact but the shaft for the adjustment spins without the gear attached to it moving.  What's my next step for disassembly here? Is this a common fault? Just being a little cautious as I didn't want to start removing bolts for a spring to fly out or something equally as stupid.  Cheers
    • Those above shitboxes, mediocre and above usually have a turbo strapped to them, hence the slightly higher octane is required.  
    • Hi all,   long time listener, first time caller   i was wondering if anyone can help me identify a transistor on the climate control unit board that decided to fry itself   I've circled it in the attached photo   any help would be appreciated
    • I mean, I got two VASS engineers to refuse to cert my own coilovers stating those very laws. Appendix B makes it pretty clear what it considers 'Variable Suspension' to be. In my lived experience they can't certify something that isn't actually in the list as something that requires certification. In the VASS engineering checklist they have to complete (LS3/NCOP11) and sign on there is nothing there. All the references inside NCOP11 state that if it's variable by the driver that height needs to maintain 100mm while the car is in motion. It states the car is lowered lowering blocks and other types of things are acceptable. Dialling out a shock is about as 'user adjustable' as changing any other suspension component lol. I wanted to have it signed off to dissuade HWP and RWC testers to state the suspension is legal to avoid having this discussion with them. The real problem is that Police and RWC/Pink/Blue slip people will say it needs engineering, and the engineers will state it doesn't need engineering. It is hugely irritating when aforementioned people get all "i know the rules mate feck off" when they don't, and the actual engineers are pleasant as all hell and do know the rules. Cars failing RWC for things that aren't listed in the RWC requirements is another thing here entirely!
    • I don't. I mean, mine's not a GTR, but it is a 32 with a lot of GTR stuff on it. But regardless, I typically buy from local suppliers. Getting stuff from Japan is seldom worth the pain. Buying from RHDJapan usually ends up in the final total of your basket being about double what you thought it would be, after all the bullshit fees and such are added on.
