Fark I go away for a few hours and shits been happening in here....

TL DR version

Ants getting low and tyres

Storage shed guys are dicks

J-Rad is getting a gtr

Martin has a Sore brain

And saw some engine stuff :P

I'll have to catch up reading lol

Ruxis, GTR's are very expensive to maintain (also due to the fact they are AWD)...that is their only downfall

I was contemplating the 600ps Gunmetal Gray R32 GTR for 29k that Iron Chef had in stock at one point, which was immaculate and Grade 4 condition. Until my mechanic talked me out of it and said I wouldn't be able to afford to run it/maintain it. The thing would have had over 100 grand spent on it. HKS 2.8L stroker, T51r etc.

I asked my parents to lend me 14k as I only had 15k at the time, but naturally they refused to lend me money.

Which is why I ended up with a Rwd S15, as cheaper to maintain. But its so slow...sadface =(. And I've already blown all my money on it....and the thing is incapacitated atm.

Buy a shit one, maybe... Buy a good one and you should be right, pretty standard running running costs of any performance cars...

It's just when things go bad, it can get ugly...

But after owning mine for a year, only basic servicing costs have been there

Yeah it should be right. If I do FIFO I'll only be home like 5 days a fortnight so really how much am I even going to want to drive? Haha will have that many jobs on the house to do before I can do anything!!!!

Benji I havent bothered even reading this but thought I would offer you a cup of STFU :)

It's in your best interest :yes:

That yellow one looks pretty good actually. But I have seen yellow 33s that seem to have a pastel type yellow that I'm not a huge fan of... There probably rare like yellow 34rs too?

    • What I’m saying is that I never heard of a non gtr 34 coming with a cooling panel stock or factory option. Maybe they might’ve I don’t know
    • Yes, at least 10 years before anyone ever thought of making such a panel. Of course.
    • I bought one for a 32 and it was junk, found its way into the bin
    • have a look at the other 2 stock rubber strips marked in blue. As you can see, they press against the cooling panel and leave marks. If the cooling unit panel isn’t there, the strip press against nothing therefore have no use. So Nissan was thinking ahead when they manufactured the cars, as they must’ve known people will install the panels in the future. Otherwise think about it, why else would they be there? Therefore that in itself directly infers that cooling panels do something. It might be to stop water and stop some air from going above the cooling panel so more of the air can be redirected between the cooling panel and the front bar towards the condenser and radiator. I tried to take a pic of it while the bonnet was closed but u can’t see shit in the photo
    • @DraftySquash @Duncan i misspoke, or this might be the other way. someone sent me a low res pic of it on It might completely close off the gap in red like in the second pic (second pic has gktech cooling panel on) .The 3 holes are for the plastic rivets used to secure down the front bar. The outer holes on the radiator side go underneath the condenser brackets If thats the case then there’s going to be no air going in through the grill between the bonnet and the bar for the radiator and condenser. Isn’t that bad? I mean less airflow to the radiator and condenser is all I’m saying
