The decision has been made, and after weeks of pining over it, I have decided to sell my car when I get it back :D I dont have a license until October, and would prefer the car to be getting driven and enjoyed instead of gathering dust. Its currently at Mercury getting a new oil feed line and final tune, then I will be posting up in the for sale section on here, and a couple of other sites. Will be scouring the net to get some idea of a price, although I already have something in mind.

At the end of the year, or early next year i'll be getting a brand new toy, still deciding on what, but thats a long way away yet.

Well variety is the spice of life...

You will always miss it once its sold, but then ive felt the same everytime I buy something new...

It is sad, i often think what it would be like if i sold my Skyline. I would struggle to do it. I guess it's the first car i have really grown attached to. I love my car. Good luck with the sale mate. Then there is a saying "nothing gets you over the last one like the next one".

yeah it will be hard, i think Skylines have a lot of individual personality that other cars i have driven don't have.

Thats funny, because i see the complete opposite.

I own an r33 gtst and really consider it quite dull and without personality. I just find its mediocre at everything. Its just a well put together car that does anything. My last car was a tx5 turbo and don't laugh, but it was a much more fun car to own. It was about as quick as the r33 but was a different drive all together, it just felt angry, torque steering and carrying on all over the place. The consistant wheel spin just about anywhere was also funny.

Maybe its rose coloured glasses on my part i dont know.

Don't get my wrong, the r33 is a better car, i just don't have any real 'feeling' for the thing.

I'm currently tossing up whether or not to sell my 34. My bf and i have just bought a house too. I currently have the 34 and a daily driver (bluey sss), and the daily will definately be the first to go, but i'm thinking that having only one car, that i may need something a little more practical and cheaper to run/insure/etc than the skyline.

Man i sold mine like a month ago and damn i miss it... got two new cars but still miss my skyline.... but the one thing that made me decide was the way pricing and demand is dropping on them and also all the new defect laws.. but I'm still considering buying it back and just sitting it in the back of the garage under a cover and never drive it lol.... pretty sad i know

I feel ya on that. My old 33 was pretty boring, it was a solid, not-too-slow cruiser with reasonable balance, a lot of body roll and ok brakes. A few mods brings them to life though, suspension, brake pads, fluid flush and a few choice engine mods will give it some character :whistling: It still won't wrestle the wheel from your hands if that's what you like (though FWD really isn't my thing) but they are a much more exciting car with mods! For me their appeal is in the huge potential waiting to be unlocked, rather than the "blistering" stock performance.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Adjusting the idle screw is usually (emphasis on usually) just covering up deeper issues. Stuff like the cold start valve not closing properly. Throttle shaft seals on the way out. Coolant temp sensors getting out of spec. Coolant temp sensors especially can be a bear to diagnose because they can fail subtly. My dad just spent weeks chasing down his high idle. He cleaned the coolant temp sensor and everything but the resistance curve just drifts over time and if it's been 20+ years they also get super slow to respond as well. Has a massive effect on fuel economy as if it's off the ECU is going to run richer and command high idle for far longer than it should otherwise.

      How old is the battery, it's more likely your battery is on its way out.

      Cleaning my wheels 😍

      I reckon you'd get 90% off. My washer doesn't get between spokes very well. Haha! I love my Gerni!  Argh! Steam cleaning has its place for sure.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      Hey all, I did a voltage test with the car (video attached) not running for 3 days. And here is some interesting stuff: - Battery voltage is 12v (I had the key in the ON position) - Drops to 9.76v while cranking then quickly goes up to 14.5v - You will notice there was a sorta slow start but not as slow as it usually is. - Idle surprisingly was better at just over 1,000rpm instead of 1,100 rpm. - I turned on the A/C, radio and headlights in the video and the voltage remains the same - I haven't cleaned the grounding wires on the chassis yet, that's next. - Battery drops to 12.6v when I turn off the car and wait a bit Seems like I might have a parasitic draw? I do have an immobiliser system which does drain the battery more of course but was wondering if there is anything else I should be looking at fixing? Does the ground wires on the chassis have anything to do with the low 12v?        SAU.avi

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      My lord that is some low oil pressure as minimum in the manual! I guess the big part will be seeing how it changes as the engine gets more spirited use.
