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?

    • 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.
