I might be able to spare some space in my front yard if you are able to get it here and praps come to some arrangement. ;)

Remember which parts of your car I expressed interest in the other day?

I'll have to discuss with the Mrs. But if it wasn't sitting round for tooooo looooong and was always under a car cover, could potentially be doable. :thumbsup:

The sheer number of people mentioning insurance is really doing my head in....there couldn't possibly be that many people crazy enough to pay the ludicrous premiums asked by insurance companies to insure such a vehicle, could there? I remember when I first got the car I was quoted over $4000 per year. f**king joke lol

It's almost certainly going to be parted out. The kind of buyer that would buy it for a reasonable amount WITHOUT this damage is also the kind of buyer that wouldn't be overly phased by it, since they're likely buying it for a track project or will be completely overhauling the looks of the car anyway...

I can't recall what parts you were after lol, but I'll see :P Honestly though, I don't want to feel pressured to get it out of the way ASAP, which is why I wouldn't necessarily want to take you up on this. I have no idea how long it would take to do, I don't have stuff like an engine crane to remove the major part, and you're about as far away from my place as you can get haha

Insurance for my 33 (in dads name, with me listed as a driver) is like $1300 a year but it's only insured for like $12000.

Anyway, do the vipec/link 33 gtst ecus also suit 34 gtts? I dont think they do, but If so I might know someone.

I'm 24 now, and wouldn't bother insuring it in someone else's name coz premiums+excess would pretty much make the payout on a write-off worthless unfortunately.

I've got no idea if the ViPEC works for RB25DET NEO sorry...it may very well, since it's massively versatile...but yeah I dunno. Would be one of the easier parts to sell anyway lol

Yeah it's not ideal for you but it's an option if you need it, and as I'm renting, I wouldn't want it floating (boating) around for ever, but a few months covered up (I have car cover) would not be an issue. Hell, I could even help you pull out the bits! Good afternoon entertainment.

I'll give you hint on the parts I expressed interest in. :rofl::rofl:

hahahaha I like that hint, very smart.

I'll let you know mate, really would rather just set it on fire right now but we'll see how I go :P

you going to get another one? just like a $5000 special 32 or something?

Nope. If I was gonna buy another Skyline, I'd get a clean, tidy, straight stock standard R33 s2 for like $8k and just transplant all my mods from this one over to it.

However I really do think I've had enough of the 'performance car' experience. Too many headaches lol

Hahahaha!

Your only 24, drive a normal car for 6 months and tell me that again.

It is possible you can get over it but not likely.

I just think your feeling a bit down today.

Power is addictive. Good luck.

Oh, I'm never gonna get over the driving side of owning a performance car...but I'm beyond done with spending of money constantly lol

I've got a VW Caddy as my daily. 75kw at the fly, 1.6L TDi. I think I know how boring a normal car is to drive :P

buy mine for 10k and just strap your turbo and wheels on it and your golden ;)

    • Yep, that was one of the things we learned fast in the past with our MX5. When you drive with the top down, you are effectively standing out in the sun, 100% of the time, and not getting in any shade (because roads aren't shaded generally!). Just like standing out in the middle of a field on a sunny 27C day is a bit of a bad plan, so is sitting in a MX5 without sun protection.
    • I also just ordered some Frankenstein bolts and side mounts to fit a hard top Just in case I do find one, basically so it doesn't need to be fixed to the car with only the front latch.......and then gaffa tape to keep it in place for the RTN journey from wherever I get it
    • If your temps are fine now, you probably won't have any issues with where your vents are as they don't look right up at the windscreens high pressure area, so any differences when giving it the beans for extended happy laps would be minimal, but, they should vent heaps when stuck in traffic  Much like how that reverse cowl on my SS let "visible" heat out when stationary, but, because it was basically at the windscreen my coolant temps on the Hwy actually raised because air was being fed into it at speed (110kph), to only come back down to around 90° when I got off the Hwy And your 100% correct about the NC currently not needing vents, but, if I was to add a turbo, and a oil cooler and intercooler in front of the condenserand radiator, and then take it to the track???? It is apparently a recommend requirement if I don't want to worry about coolant or oil temp issues, but, any of the above are possible scenarios, over time As it sits now, with the triple pass radiator and stock air conditioning system, I have absolutely no issues with either temps or air conditioning efficiency, I've been basically daily driving thie car for the last month, both on the Hwy, and peak hour, bumper to bumper traffic, but, that's pretty much expected from basically a standard engine  Talking about no issues daily driving, it was 39° the other day and I was sitting in bumper to bumper traffic on the M5 and then M7, with the top down, and with the air conditioning blowing nice cold air on my feet, balls, and face, well, there was one issue, my head and arms got pretty sun burnt Note to self: leave a hat and sunscreen in the car for such days 🤣
    • I would agree, unless you need something specific to the HV motor/battery side repaired or investigated, any mechanic will be able to perform normal services, but if you prefer, maybe look for a mechanic who regularly services/repairs Nissans, the VQ engines are pretty common in the Nissan lineup.  Sorry, I can't make any suggestions, I don't live in Vic.
    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
