Buy a GTR
RWD Skylines are fun up to a point then you wish you purchaed a GTR in the first place, this has happened to me and all my skyline driving mates.
I think that its hard to point to specific things (apart from the usual +50 offset chromies, or cheap kits) but evevyone knows when they spot a really tough car. The owner just gets a whole host of options right and the cra just works.
Personally I'm a fan of the understated look. Stock bodywork but with nice big 18's to fill the guards.
Ponies before chromies!
Do you even need to ask?
Call up racebrakes, tell them what the car will be used for and get the pads they recomened. Or check out any of the recomended workshops (sticked in the Vic section) and give them a call for a quote.
That price would cover the lines and (with some change) and nothing else!! You have 100% of people saying they are crap and will damage your car, and you have 0% saying they are a reliable way to make power.
How many cars in the various power up threads are using these ebay turbos?
How many dirt cheap car parts are proven to work well and last?
How often does the old addage "You get what you paid for" ring true?
Do you have the cash to pay for the (worst case) scenario engine rebuild?
Can you not find another $400 to get a KKR turbo?
My bet is on spark plug mate. In any event its the cheaper part, so check and replace that if necessary. If thats not the problem check the filter. Not expensive parts or hard to DIY.
Exactly!
If you want top dollar then you need a top car, and you need to be VERY patient. If you want your car gone same day with no fussing about take it to the dealer, and take the loss on the wallet.
Not rocket science.
