My last squeeze was 24! ... the new GF is 33 ... damn, I just aged 9 years quickly :D

I studied at Uni and worked hard for years building up capital. Now I earn a higher enough salary and have plenty of assets to finance anything I want ;) I've got a house, two RS4s, 4 motorcycles (MV Agusta, GSXR race bike, TLR1000, dirt bike) and I own the lot ... no loans ... totally debt free, no credit cards even. I'm now looking for my next house and all my salary is mine to spend. :thumbsup:

See young lads, hard work does pay off!

Thats why I take pride in my toys.

u may think you have it all but your 1 shy of being able to drive a different 1 every day of the week. i take it you dont get much time to use some of these vehicles.

So for the youngins... how did you finance your car? Parents? Loan?

Mine waz paid for by loan. Couldnt bare seeing all these nice 'lines everywhere i went, so yeh went and got a loan and got the car that day,well got the key that day, picked the car up a week later. And its me being a dairy and frozen manager at a foodland store that pays the bills and for the car :laugh:

So for the youngins... how did you finance your car? Parents? Loan?

:P Its called work...... and watching what you spend.

When I left school from my part time job I had saved enough money to buy a R33, but brought a $2000 pintara so I could save money for something I wanted, just drove that for 4 years paid cash when I found the DR30 I wanted ... still drive the pintara 99% of the time though :laughing-smiley-014:

Being a well paid tradesman these days and not a povo apprentice, I could replace the DR30 with a 34 GT-R these days If I wanted, but would rather invest that money on a house and skyline #2 I have planned :(

Advice on loan;

If you finance a car, you end up paying alot more then the value of the car + by the time you have paid off the loan, the extra money you have paid on the loan you would of easily lost in the value of the car, then you add running/maintainance costs, so you just end up behind ... that was my parents advice :laugh:

O and living at home with your parents saves you loads of cash wasted on food/rent :laugh:

$8700 :laugh: with 85,000kms on the clock, no rust, interior is like new with upgraded turbo / coilovers / exhuast..... the previous owner (who was friends with my brother) had it defected for height and it sat in his garage for 12 months ... So I managed to score a bargain, weeks after buying it I got offered $14,000 but choose not to sell :P

Before that all I could find were ones with high KMs, 1/2 the interior and rust, between $8-12,000 :laugh: and another one of my brothers mates sold his junker spec DR30 for $10,500.

and there is this nice one for around 20,000 >>Click<<

So I have no idea what one is worth Ted

All I know I right now I wouldnt even consider selling mine for under 20,000 Cos I would probally have to go to Japan to find one in this condition again :(

whoa, awesome price. with mods too. bargain.

wasnt so sure about going from a 180 into something a bit older, but i think i could see myself making the sacrafice if its a dr.

just dont want to get into a 32/33 like everyone else. not that theres something bad about that, but they are common, i dont want to get another sr (s14/15etc)

    • My idle is set at 950rpm though - Moving the timing around 20 degrees is not really what I'd call a calm idle. That said... neither is chop, by definition. The LS ECU likes to adjust timing to hold idle as opposed to air. It'd work, but generally speaking there'd be a discrepancy in the base idle and the IACV would want to move the timing around anyway to maintain said idle. I think I'm just going to keep the timing steady anyway. Preserve my engine mounts.  My aircon is now officially regassed. As the guy was reversing I noticed my reverse lights do not operate, along with my reverse cam. This is a bit distressing, because 100% of guides talk about which wire to connect to backup cams as "the goes with the [other color] wire". Often when doing conversions. Unfortunately the R34 colour wires aren't documented Unfortunately I had a T56 Magnum gearbox with it's reverse switch, which also isn't documented. Unfortunately there's definitely not documentation for people with both of these in the one car. Unfortunately I forgot. After many hours of this, I have a reverse cam and reverse lights again. The wire going through the trans tunnel to the reverse switch had broken. Upon inspection, it looks like this one wire had about 7 spade terminals and extensions in it.. for reasons I cannot possibly comprehend. I also spent the 750 hours required to clean up the wiring behind my head unit which now looks like this: This is a monumental improvement relative to what used to be there WRT triple gauges, head unit, traction control, wideband controller, and whatever the f**k OEM stuff still exists there in various states of connectivity/needed. Next step is to check in at the Exhaust shop to see/confirm how much clearance I have, to decide what mid mufflers or 'resonators' (which are just straight through, narrower mufflers) I can add and hopefully cut out a lot of exhaust leaks, pinhole, v-band or otherwise. But first step will be to 'take a look' before the next step.
    • Fark the AFM card and Nistune, Haltech Nexus S3, DBW, cruise control, flex fuel, dis dat.  
    • It's most likely the bolt/bush where the cover bolts back wore and allowed cover to move forward.
    • Still haven't put the injectors and R35 AFM in so we can tune the bloody thing for the HG highflow it got mid last year! I think I can forecast the upgrade path to a bigger twin scroll, external gate, Haltech, flex setup, Samsonas, dis dat, etc will be .... a while away!
    • Should have taken that opportunity to slot in a twin scroll turbo setup. Maybe next time.
