Ok I will chip in... I am 31. But a wise man once said you're only as old as the woman you feel.... shes 26!

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)

    • Finally had these painted and fitted and pleased with the result. also managed to source 400R fender badges.    
    • who can tell me what this is and why my car talks to me? i think it's hilarious. it's on my r34 right above the drivers-side storage compartment. the characters under the wrench say "inspection". every 10 or 20 startups, a voice starts talking in japanese from some speaker in this area below the dashboard. it says a few sentences then shuts off. different from the ETC card reader voice that happens every time i start the car. I've never found the speaker, i've never been able to catch the voice and translate what it says, and i've never found a forum thread that tells me how to reset the warnings. the holes in between the symbols are NOT buttons you can press to reset the warnings. anyone else have this? has the demon lord from Hereditary infected my car?!
    • Would you ever vent this bonnet or will it be unnecessary?
    • Happy new years folks! Wishing you all a successful year of money pit ownership!  So the subframe bushes are out....   Ok, who else has done that job before??  What a C U Next Tuesday of a job that is!  Be glad to not do that again in a hurry! I think I explored every option available to chop the middle section of the bushes out, most of them unsuccessfully! I tried a holesaw, die grinder, normal drill bit, air chisel, etc, etc. The true success happened by accident when I'd decided to try a step drill I spotted on the bench on the way passed.  See, there are benefits to never cleaning up after yourself! It RIPPED through so so much better than the drill bit. It has to be the skinniest one available so its small enough to fit between the inner tube and outer casing but it made easy work of it.  First one i hammered the shit out of... New method- 20250102_185506.mp4   I did the other 5 in less time than I fluffed around with the first one. With the first couple I used the cut off saw (sawsall as the yanks love to call them) to cut a break in the outer casings. Even with that they're still a prick to hammer or air chisel out.  The last few i just went rambo with the air chisel without cutting them. I over cut one of the early ones so will hit the with the mig to fill the cut then sand it off smooth.  The carnage left over-   I've also been "nesting" ie, cleaning up my babies nursery,  ie cleaning the f**king pig sty of a shed. I've got that much shit laying around it's as cluttered as my head!  Getting things put away, in boxes, on shelves, hanging off walls, all to get some working space back again.  Hopefully that keeps me motivated....
    • AFAIK does the base map for Haltech even have the 4D compensation enabled? It's been a while but when I looked at it I remember it was actually using pure TPS as one load signal and MAP for another. Seemed workable but not ideal by any stretch. A lot of people have "make the event-itis" which leads to stuff like this happening.
