You're joking yeah? You're not actually considering that as an actual option are you?

Don't mean to offend you, but it's a 33 GTS-T, it's not something rare. Why the f**k would you even consider having ~$10k sitting there for a few years to one day, maybe, turn it into a track car when you come back...

But I'm sure you were just joking, because any half wit would understand that parking $10k in a garage for 3 years to maybe turn it into a track car is the most ludicrous thought one could have. That same half wit would know that $10k in your bank account when heading overseas is far more beneficial than a $10k garage ornament that will be worth $3k when you get back to turn it into a track car, losing ~$7k worth of potential track mods in the process.

Tough decision though..

You went a bit over the top there don't you think bloke?

The car might not be particularly special to anyone else, but it is to me. That's all.

I'm trying so hard to get a taste for it, but I just can't lol. I think it's an 'aquired taste?

I don't really have a taste for them either. Also depends on which red wines you been trying. Some are great and some I think are shit. Best ones to try would be the soft reds such as a merlot or Shiraz that aren't too dry.

I concur with Dezz on this...

Put the 10k into an account mate.

Lock it up for 3 years - same as you would with a car.

Come home and pay off some of the epic debt you'll accrue whilst overseas, or come back and really build a proper track car.

Whilst a car is special to one and so on, end of the day sometimes you just have to make the decision to cut it away.

I've been having sleepless nights lately over the GTR and keeping or selling & buying a place with my brother. It'll be 3-4 years longer if i keep the car simply because I cant have a 360rwkw GTR sitting there and not take it to the track. Then if i bust a motor etc... fk...

Only problem is selling will effectively castrate me having to drive around in a mid 90's commo or ford. Cheap and stuff but just depressing.

Decisions decisions... What life is all about. The tough ones are hard for a reason but once made, in the long run its better for you.

I don't think I went over the top at all...At the end of the day it's a car, and unless you've spent a shit load of money customizing it etc, chances are you'll be able to pick up a 33 gts-t for about $3-4k when you come back, and make it just as 'special' is.

Cheers fellas, Selling it is definitely the right thing to do. Sigh.

the upside is that you can potentially do it all over again and avoid any mistakes you made the first time...

like buying an R33.

I was actually at a high school yesterday with a massive group of girls wanting my autograph and photos with me... :P Gotta love being a muso.

But no, I didn't do anything.. Otherwise I probably would have been locked up haha

    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
    • Does anyone know if this is off centered? Looks like it, when I indicate to go right, but turn my steering wheel slightly left it cancels (was always like that even before I started messing around with it) was wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
    • Nothing photo worthy since last update, lots of little plumbing bits for the AAC/Cold start valves, and unfortunately I still need another couple of parts for the brake booster line and the AAC into the plenum. Otherwise it all looks good to start up engine wise, onto checking the electrics/interior
