I Don't Love My Skyline

[PM-R33]

I hate my car because it takes all my money It's like a drug and i can't stop!

[bozodos]

Yeah I've just about hit that point with all of the niggling problems such as boost leaks fooling the EBC and making it overboost, so I can't wind it out for fear of it doing an R&R type thing on me, the inability to get ATTESSA to work with the Microtech (and the fact that it runs so rich i'm forever changing plugs and putting fuel in it), which leaves me with a 1500kg GTS-T, but then I realise that it'd be too difficult to sell here, so I might as well persist with it. That said I do still love driving it, and it's my only car.

[RBwhatever]

look alright man just needs some tlc

Thanks man

no wonder man!!! you need to paint those side skirts. thats what's turning you off.

if my car is dirty, i'm kind of indifferent towards it. but when it's clean, i'm all smiles. i cant imagine having a half done body mod.

get it painted you lazy ass

Haha I bought the skirts 2nd hand about 2 months ago and just wacked it on with a few screws. It was matt black from the previous owner. I can't be bothered spending money to paint them. I'm so over spending money on the car.....but yes you're correct, I'm a lazy ass about it

I've put a white Monkey (Warehouse) sticker on the rear of the skirt to balance the black and white. And I didn't get the rest of the kit cos I wouldn't be able to get up the driveways etc I drive on.

ye i hate my car, especially after the new engine, and new rear diff. everytime some thing breaks i swear that its the last straw and that next ill sell it

yet i cant even try selling it, so im gonna buy a lappo for a daily and keep the gtr for weekends! win win situation, at least now i can dump it to ground and not worry about the shitty city parking!

steve

I bought a bike. It serves as a half daily. I rotate with the car nowdays.

I hate my car cos it's taken my money already

love hate relationship. I'm waiting for my standard turbo to give up the ghost still. I reckon it could be any day now. I don't flog it much so it will probably last longer than i expect it too.

ive been like that with all my cars.. i bought my 33 gtst... which was a great looking car.. i really liked it, but i wanted a 32... but because of the lack of price difference, the r33 made more sense, i kept it immaculate, but always wanted a 32.. i bought a bugeye wrx, again, same story, lack of price difference made the later model wrx the better option.. but i never liked the look of it.

now i have a 32 gtst... which is what i wanted in the first place... its a bit of a daily, and at present doesnt have a garage... it will soon though.. it could be a fantastic car with a little bit of money... but that little bit of money could get me a gtr... which is what ive always wanted since i was a kid.. but again... the lack of price difference between the 32's and 33 gtrs will mean ill probably get a 33 gtr, even though i want a 32 gtr.

i hate cars.

[Munkyb0y]

no, you dont get the r33 gtr if you want an r32 gtr. what you do is spend the extra cash on a really nice r32 gtr, with mods, and wheels, that make u jizz in ur pants.

coz the year of manufacture on the rego papers wont make u jizz in ur pants

let me rephrase... i like all gtrs.. i like my 32's... but dislike the interior, i feel cramped etc. i like the 33's but they arent a 32. its not about building a kick ass engine, for that i would have a 32 hands down... its about the whole experience.. which points at a 33 as they are a bit more solid. a nice r32 is still going to have the same instruments and dash as a cheap crap one..

[bozodos]

Is it that big a deal? Lol

[krzysiu]

I know how you feel mate. Ive taken so much care of my car. Washed it every week, interior never had 1 spec of dust on it. Everyone was surprised how clean it was. Then all of a sudden came a taxi driver that demolished my rear end. It got fixed, but since then i have washed it once (happened in January). Also i have had minor things that shit me like little rust specs were a rock has hit it and chipped the paint then it rusts.

Ive gotten so annoyed with it so i decided to go all out to MAKE me pay more attention to it lol. Its at the panel shop as we speak getting a full bodykit and a custom respray job. Hope that cures me not taking care of it lol, turning it into a show car

[AndrewJZX100]

I didn't really care too much about my skyline. After coming from a couple of real nice Toyotas it was a thrash pig and I treated it as such, eventually putting it backwards into a cliff. Sold it because the repair work I did was ghetto as fk and if I got defected it would've been too hard to get it off.

I love my sil most of the time, it is almost the perfect daily. Freak RB20 with heaps of torque, looks stock as so the cops don't bother me, is quiet and comfortable yet is still reasonably quick and heaps fun to chuck around.

The many little problems it has can annoy me at times, but over all I like it almost as much as I liked my Chaser.

Hey mate I get you. I always wanted a R32 GTR always thought they looked better, I absolutally hate r33 gtst's (just not as much every "australian" car) but when it came time to spend my own actual money the R33 GTR was too good to pass up bigger newer looking inside and out less dated and worn out. So I bought an R33 Gtr handed over the money drove away looking at that big wing in the rear vision mirror thinkng to myself WTF have i done i hate 33's.

3 years on still got it still use it as my daily and still nothing is broken or torn, cant say it would be the same way if i did by an R32.

[NZM.031]

i actually like the big wing..

[Gads GTR]

yeah i actually love the whole car best decision i ever made just needed time to grow on me. Think im going to just keep it forever now spent too much on it to get rid of it, and one day hopefully it will be a "classic"

[SECURITY]

race it. you're only doing what people do in their corollas. get it out on a track and get your heart racing - thats what it was meant for.

Don't worry i will race it just gotta put the motor back in it and i will be there

Who doesn't love their car?

I've owned it for 3 years now. It's a daily and gets treated like a daily too. It gets serviced and all the maintenance attention it needs, but I don't really feel compelled to keep it clean. I don't seem to care about it anymore. I've put money into it and made it go a bit quicker and handle a bit better and stop a bit better. I enjoy the way it drives and have put only a couple of visual mods to make it bearable in my eye. The S1 R33's are a bit on the ugly side, and I've thought that since day 1.

It's reliable, it goes relatively well but doesn't break any fastest car in town records and don't really want it to. I feel spending anymore money on the car is futile. Heck I even dropped my comprehensive insurance for third party fire and theft.

It get's washed like once every 6 - 8 weeks. The mods that were put on were put on with a 'she'll be right' attitude.

I know it's a good car, but that's all it is to me now.

Share your hate for your car...

It's all a State Of Mind!

If I can use Self-Hypnosis to make-believe that whilst in my 'Lude, I'm really driving an LP560-4,

you too can hire a Hypnotherapist to help convince you that you're in an R35 instead of an R33!

[RBwhatever]

yeah, I should probably just take more care of it and keep it clean. But those stupid rattles that I can't find drive me crazy *shakes fist at car*

[Crans]

I have owned my 32 gtr for 9 months and have only driven 60km. 1 problem after the next new engine problem nearly sorted and some f**ker slashes my tyre so now i have enough money to a) finish fixing it. b) new tyre. c) pay to license it.

Even after all the problems I love her to death. 1 more problem and I'll be joining you guys.

BTW please pick an option for me.

Looks good, even though it has chip heaven on the front bar it still looks fat....GTR's always do.
