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...

Simple solution yes, but there's nothing actually wrong with the car I got. And it does everything I need it to do.

Just losing that connection. I'll still take care of it and I know it's a good car. If the constant "upgrading" of parts is what is needed to upkeep the love, then I'm done loving it. I'll just enjoy what's been done to it thus far.

  • 5 weeks later...

of the 4 months i have had my 33, 3 and a half of those months its been in the shed getting built, so i am absolutly obsessed with it.

if im having a shitty day i just go and sit with it.

and if i really need cheering up, i start it and im all smiles.

i love my car, its been a challange, and as i de registered it, i will only be able to drive it on the track, so i think that will keen the novelty for some time to come

no exotics here....or anything expensive for that matter. Partly laziness. When I clean it i put a lot of effort into it, then I like it when its clean. Then it gets dirty within the week then I hate it again and neglect it for another month.

i like how u express ur feeling there, lolz, felt the same way with my r34 Gtt eventhough i have had my car for 7 months only..

Yeah it's great when you've got something happening to it and plans laid out. It feels good when you do a mod to it and you can feel the improvement it has made.

7 months isn't long.... Lower it and you might like it for a bit longer :)

exact same thing with my 180, just got over it very quick, lost the love. sold it then bought at 32, never been happier ;)

What made you ditch the 180 for a 32? In particular, what does the 32 do for you that the 180 didn't?

32 has a up and go personality, and gives you that warm fuzzy feeling that a 180 could never even hope to have! An R32 also makes you instantly attractive to women :P

that :D

well my story was had a 180 that loved to bits, perfect car, nothing ever went wrong, till i stacked it baddd lol. bought a cheap 180 which was shit lol, prob made me lose my love for the 180s. thought i needed a change so found this perfect r32 which i heart dearly.

the 32 i found has more presence, power is there when i need it, handling could be better but ill live, 5stud so i wasnt gonna spend more money on my shit 180 doing that. umm all i can think of for now.

ps im loving these emotes on sau lol :(

a face only a mother could love:

owned my car for 3 and a half years, spent hundreds and hundreds of hours working on it (no exaggeration), 10's of thousands of $$ on it, made me broke as f**k, made me stressed as f**k.

but i f**king love the thing, and i love every time i get into it. u treat a skyline like a grandmas car and it will feel like a grandmas car, get out and use the f**king things lol

I must admit sometimes i get sick of my car and almost go through phases of wanting to sell it... but if the next time you drive it you give it a bit of a flogging the love soon comes back and its all good... Also i think you need to be forever modifying it as it will just get boring... even if its just the odd thing here and there like a new gauge or something or new seat covers it all adds to the change and rekindles the love

my 32 is giving me the shits

been chasing a dam flat spot since i bought it ~4 months ago :D

think i have nearly nailed it tho but it does some random shit sometimes

im in tas atm and moved down from qld

its up for sale cos i'm bringing the 31 my gf used to drive down and i love that car too (even tho its a pos adm 31)

the 32 is so nice and looks shit hot (full vertex kit and non gay chrome 18's)

it goes good too but isn't as much fun as the s13 i used to have (but handles better)

i dunno if i should sell the 32 or the 31 cos i love both cars

but if i sell the 32 i'll have $10k+ sitting in my pocket :D and i'll get something better at the end of the year when i head back up to qld

give me some guidance guys (im at uni atm too so have like no cash and dont drive it much anymore)

you guys want pics too?

    • Surely the merged entity will be called "Honda" given the relative company values. I've got to be honest, I don't understand how merging 2 companies that missed EVs (despite Nissan making the first mass produced one) will solve their problems
    • If you haven't bought the ECU yet, I would strongly consider buying a modern ECU. Yes it is very easy to setup and tune, however it is lacking many of the features of a modern ECU. The pro plug in is something like 10 or 12 years old now? Can't remember exactly but it is very dated now. In that time the Elite was released and now we have the Nexus platform.  I would strongly consider not buying the ECU that is 3 generations old now (especially as it isn't a cheap ECU!). 
    • Im happy for it as long as it means reanult gets the boot 
    • Sorry I should have been more clear with the previous post.  The block is a sanding block - picture something like this https://motorguard.com/product/motor-guard-bgr161-bgr16-1-rigid-psa-sanding-block-2-5-8-x-16/ The guide coat is the paint It's two separate things I was talking about, there is no "block guide coat". 
    • Maybe more accurately, you aren't just dulling the existing paint, you are giving the new paint something to 'grab on to'. By sanding the existing paint, you're creating a bunch of pores for the new paint to hook on to.  You can lay new paint over existing paint without sanding it, might last a year or two then sad times. The paint will peal/flake off in huge chunks. By sanding it, the new paint is able to hang onto it and won't flake off.  Depends on the primer you are using. When you buy your paint, as the paint supplier what grit of sand paper to use before you lay down the primer.  Use whatever you like as a guide coat. Pick a colour that really stands out in contrast to the paint. So say your sanding/painting a currently white car, using a black guide coat would work well. You very lightly lay the black guide coat down, then as you sand the car with the large block, all the high spots and low spots will stand out as the black paint is sanded off (or isn't sanded off).  When you buy your paint, hit up your supplier for recommendations for what paint to use for a guide coat if you're unsure what would work well with your setup.
