and here i am, the sucker that brought cams car!

j/k its goin quite well and am enjoying it

to introduce myself, i come from the other side of the fence, previously owning aussie car. My last car was a supercharged vt ss commy, and before that a vh group 3 brock commy, and before that nothing worth mentioning.

A few of my mates got into the import scene a few years ago, and having driven thier cars, when it came time to replace the vt (which is now a piece of mangled metal in a wreckers yard, ooops) i decided to go for a skyline, and cams pretty much fit exactly what i was after. so theres the story.

Good luck with the mu cam, i can see it runnin 11s quarters before the end of next year ;)

I just decided that I wasn't able to do the things I wanted to do while I drove the 32. I am into rock climbing, abseiling and camping etc so having the 32 limited me to sealed roads which meant that I haven't been able to do those things. I also want to get into some serious 4wding and from what I have seen you don't need a v8 powered rig to do it in. I have always liked the MU's so it was an easy decission to make, they have all the electric options etc and are fairly comfy to ride in. Power is a bit less than my 32 ;) with only 80kw at the engine.......dam. But with some boost, exhaust and filter we should be able to sort out some more usable power.

Basically there comes a time in ones life (For me it was my 25th birthday) when you realise that there are more things to life than spending every cent on your car. When an interest becomes an obsession then you need to seriously look at sorting yourself out.

I absolutely loved my car and will always like it and will often look at all the photo's of it but I had to make a choice, I didn't have the money for both so it had to go. For the last 2 years I haven't had any money to spend on anything apart from my car so its time to start living a bit, going on holidays and looking for a relationship with someone other than my car :)

cameron, im glad you are happy, you have been very nice, and helpful to many here,

firstly, i agree a time comes when you realise that you shouldnt spend all your money on your car, thats not here for me yet so hahaha, but i see in a yr or 2 i wanna put a deposit on a house etc...

seocndly, when you said when hobbies become obsessions you need to re evalute them,

i only think this is true, when obessesions become either too exspensive, or stop you from other things

thirdly, stick to rock climbing and abseiling, rather then your poems ;)

finally, good luck in the new year, and i hope all goes/stays well

Congratulations Cam, glad you sold it (I emailed you about it a few times but ended up getting a big loan and a 33 GTR).

Hope to see you on the tracks someday, drop me an email sometime if you're intereted in meeting up and doing some real slow driving :mad:

PS Boxhead: Don't kid yourself that a 4WD means he won't still be spending all his money on his car, my GTR has a lot of catching up to do before it eclipses the cost of the 4WD. At least the tyres are cheaper on the GTR :eek:

I doubt if I will be spending too much on the MU, probably just a small sus/body lift (4") and maybe some big rock crawler tyres and maybe a new exhaust system and perhaps a water to air intercooler or perhaps a unichip and a big stezza along with some black rims, tint a 9000lb whinch but apart from that I doubt I'll do anything else:D

Seriously though, what I will be doing is saving for any mods instead of getting loans etc.

Here is a pic of my new ride which I'll get on the 6th

    • I clean my wheels every time I wash the car, I also clean the barrels, the only product I use on the wheels is truck wash and a pressure washer, followed by (inset your chosen name brand) wash and wax, time per wheel is probably 2 minutes total, cleaning the barrels is easy with one of these microfibre thingies on a stick from Sabco, they're also great for getting in between the front guards and body, and tight spots in the engine bay ย 
    • An updated post here. Sounds to me like there's definitely a bit of sketchiness here.ย  Old mate with 10 rusting Torana's in the front yard might be more who they're focussed on. (For right or wrong).
    • Is this not just about people wrecking, and storing, multiple cars in their front yard? I now a tow truck driver that was contracted by the council to clean up housing commission front and rear yards in houses and unit car parks I'm all for working on, and doing maintenance on your car in your garage or driveway, but some people definitely take the pissย  There's one house locally to me that I walk past regularly where the front yard and driveway looks like a wreckers, multiple cars in various stages of being stripped, and the yard looks like all of fluids are basically dumped on the ground I may be wrong, but it seems that the initial reports, which I've seen nothing actually official about yet, may be getting taken out of context, like alot of the latest "the sky is falling" stuff found on the youtubes for clicks
    • have they? Link appreciated. I live in Casey. I can see both sides of the argument in this case. There's a lot of sketchy stuff going on. There needs to be a clear definition of what this is supposed to be IMO. I wager the intent was to be a broad sweeping brush against people who have 4 cars up on blocks on their front lawn, not someone who services their own car behind their own gate on a weekend bothering probably nobody. But it'd be hard to legislate the difference there.
    • Oh, the wheels were already off. I wouldn't normally take them off to clean them although it does make it easier with the ceramic, so I might take them off when reapplying. I don't drive much but now with the ceramic coat, when I do drive and they get dirty I can get most off with the pressure washer. I'll be switching to dirtier pads soon which was the motivation for the ceramic as I usually just clean them and sometimes use Autoglym wheel protector. Nah, f**k the barrels! Haha, I'll give them a quick scrub when they're off the car and a pressure wash, but even I draw the line with the barrels. Yes, dark coloured wheels allow you to get away with a lot! ย
