again thanx to everyones replys getting this off my chest has made me feel alot better....i can see light now and cant wait to get back on the road with or with out that motor,,,...so many friends have come to support me and ive had a mechanic offer to help strip every usable part off for free.....peoples must think im a evil person to have a chick do this to me but as anyone that knows me its quite the oppisite...i just wanted to help the girl cause i could see the good in her and thought i could save her from drugs and that whole life style......but ive learnt a massive lesson you cant help someone who dusnt wana be helpd......

Sometimes people walk all over others too so don't go blaming yourself...

Really sorry about your car.. look forward to reading about your next project :blink:

Take care

I know what its like to try and help someone really badly and they f**k your life up at the end of it, happened to me, but not quiet to that extreme.

The fire was hot enough to warp the gearbox (thick metal), but not the engine (thick) and exhaust (thin)??

So the fire fighters got it under control just in time.

On a good note, if it (engine) reached such high temperatures without warping, it re-forged itself f**king awesomely, it'll be well and truely capable of more boost.

If she's a crack addict, taking her to court for $50'000+ dollars is kind of pointless, and like Keets and Dirty 3 said, she's already in a f**ked up place.

actually the box has suived just the shifter melted down the box and i always think yhe worst..the whole motor and everthing on it survived ive stripped the whole lot through out the week...the fire wall didint burn f*k all,,its was just coverd in sooty black shit every where...plus the bonnet wasnt opended during the fire so no oxygen got in there to catch a light...the fire stared from the back...basicly just lost the shell seats and the ecu.......luckily the whole fuel system was braided and that goes to show how good braided lines are......the wholr lot will beup for sale soonish.....

Hahaha! Good job Dad, I would love to have seen him on the job.

Good to hear that the expensive stuff has survived.

I still think a c$#t punt is in order.

LOL thats kind of raunchy, a dude in his jocks, a garden hose and a Nissan quiet literally ON FIRE....ahem, sorry.

Good thing your fuel lines didnt go, the explosion would have finished the car and anything within 20 metres, including your Dad.

Stop talking about selling shit, you gotta keep it and make it all bad-ass again.

      Questions on potential new purchase

      By latino_R35 · Posted

      Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers

      Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.

      Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
