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?

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
