**_Well SON… here I go._** I am done with racing and putting cash into cars from now on. I was going to build a S13 with a RB20 for the track, but I have been decided not to bother. I have already gotten coilovers, 5-bolt conversion (rear only), Z32 front brakes and a racing seat already installed. All I have to do is finish the body work and paint it so it looks nice so I can sell it in the spring. I am looking to buy a newer car by the end of next summer or when my OSAP debt is down to $7500; whichever comes first. As many of you know I sold my Silvia to focus on flying more, but it is not working out as planned according to the timeline I have put in place. In April I will be finished college and will receive my diploma in marketing; I am currently working with a marketing company and college to save money for future plans. My next major focus is becoming a police officer, it is a career I have always had in my back pocket and thought about a lot but now it is something I can really see myself doing. I have already applied to Peel Region and lost 50+ pounds to get into proper physical condition. In the new year I will apply to Toronto Police Service and the OPP so I do not have all my eggs in one basket. In my years I have put a tons of cash into this hobby which I do not regret at all but I feel now being 24 years old turning 25 next month I should focus my cash elsewhere. I plan on owning a house in the next 5-6 years and a proper car as stated earlier; BWM, Porsche (used), Audi, Lexus, or an Infinite. Yes they are costly but I plan on earning more than enough and having 2:1 assets to liabilities ratio. I believe with keep up with my beloved hobby I will not be able to achieve my goals. If in the future I can afford to incorporate racing as part of my life again I will not hesitate to do so, I love it but I have to let go to move forward in my quest we all call life. I will still come out to support everybody’s efforts in motorsports; drifting, lapping and drag! Thanks for everyone’s support in my years with this board. I will continue to be on the forums giving advice and being me. Good luck to everyone still racing and finding a way to keep it in their life as they move forward. ---

Best of luck and some advice, don’t buy a Porsche. I have a similar plan going that you do but keeping my car. A house will be mine within 5 years max and until than I plan on DD the Skyline. Once an serious issue arises with the skyline (turbo,engine, or tranny)I will park it and make it whatever I want. Best of luck to whatever happens and we can all hope for a prosperous future! ---

NITESCREAM, you made the right choice man…modding cars, not many people are smart enough to do so when they “can afford them”, and knowing how north america as a general society, doesnt know how to save their money shows how a lot of enthusiasts go paycheck by paycheck to reach their car’s ideal potential. Your story is all too familiar with me, I know EXACTLY what youre going through with the career change and the priorities being put in place. I wish you the best of luck and hope that the future brings much success to you. you made the right choice, i know i did and i’ll never go back. ---

My only advice, and through word of mouth . but choose your friends wisely ; i knew of a guy that couldn’t get in the force because of those he associated himself with. Best of luck man, i’m honestly glad your not pursuing anything as a pilot. It’s a money pit , and to get big you need contacts and a university background , otherwise your pinching pennies doing tours , agricultural , or instructing . ---

Good luck dude, but I really think that after you own a “proper grown up car” for about a year or two, you’ll regret it and want to get a tuner car again. I know I do. IMO, car guys never “grow out of it”, this is in our blood, we can try and deny it, but every time we get a “normal” car, we hate it. ---

I know I do. IMO, car guys never “grow out of it”, this is in our blood, we can try and deny it, but every time we get a “normal” car, we hate it. I will miss it so much, its like losing a dear friend. When I am stable in my career, family life, and finances I will come out again on a smaller scale. Maybe I’ll buy something RHD and do like one mod a year, who knows!?! Motorsports have brought us all together from different walks of life; races, beliefs, rich and poor. Its a beautiful thing! Sure we shit talk and fight but we all respect each other, its like a big disfunctional family! ---

I agree… I debated about buying a “normal car” and everyone at my shop says why don’t you just go out and buy a truck and shit. They don’t understand, even when I drive customer cars unless they’re Porsche, G35’s, 350z’s, etc, I hate it. Best of luck Junior with your future endeavors. Hope all is a success, and I agree with the choice you’re making. ---

An engine swap on that thing costs a “0” more than for the Nissan. From what I read I would say it is not the vehicle you would like.
