go the subie.

for the amount of off roading youre looking at, its bot worth giving up the car feeling.

just keep up those upper engine cleans.

I am almost there with you. However people we go camping with have a Prado, a Vitara and a Navara. The Suzuki stands a better chance of being able to go wherever they go, which would be nice.

Will have to go drive both and see where that leaves us.

24 hour test drive through the mountains?

24 hour trial as a grocery getter would be better! Don't need it to be a good mountain runner, just needs to be a solid car like the 3 is with added 4x4

Mr Scott, Mr Tony, Mr Bunta, Mr Luke.... *sup nod*

What you say is true. Those 24 hour test drives must be awesome!

So, I've done some research into sprint days. Categories are as follows: 4 cyl, 6 cyl, 8 cyl and AWD. Turbo/super charged vehicles move up on category therefore Mike and Nick will be in the same category for sprints.

So will Martin

And Matt

And Zeke

And everyone else who wants to rip apart the Abomination

Nice. So you're going for a brand new one?

With the Forrester no, the new model has a range of limitations that put it out of the running, So for Forester we would be looking at a 2012 to 2010, Vitara will likely be new, especially if I lease, Remserv was offering very good deals on Vitara for QLD government employees as in 4k below retail good

If i run RWD can I beat up on the A-Bomb too?

With the new vitara, what are servicing costs like in order to maintain warranty?

With RWD, I believe so. If you can demonstrate that the car will only be running in RWD mode without the ability to switch on track, I don't see it being an issue.

Ants should join in as well. I would love to see a stock standard NA R33 beat his ass around QR. Although, I'm pretty sure that Martin will run the Pinny and flog him.

Nick is too much of a skirt to enter so we won't be able to :(

If i lease, the cost of servicing is built in. but its around 300 bucks per 10,000km

    • The nissan manual says to change coolant every 2 years. Is this still necessary if you're using coolant like Penrite or nulon which has improved over the years? It says it lasts 500,000km which seems hard to believe lol.
    • According to the Muse website, totally different material. The originals were that horrible solid foam rubber that was used for a lot of rear spoiler/flap things, like on Mitsu Galan GSRs. Heavy, and with enough compressibility/flex that any paint on them would crack fairly quickly. The Muse ones are just ABS, which is obviously similar to GTR lower front lip, etc etc. ABS is a good choice if you have the ability to tool up for it. The only thing better might be TPU-RIM or something equivalent. The TPUs were good. Plenty of flexibility (in twisting, bending, etc) but not really in compression.
    • Update 24/01/2025:    Bought a GReddy/Trust Intercooler (crossflow spec-LS) that was meant for a R33 GTST $871 AUD shipped, and a GReddy Profec boost controller $483 AUD, both brand new from Japan. Being honest, I would've thought the intercooler kit was discontinued but I guess not yet. Decided due to funds + time, I'll stick with a nistune on this stock-ish setup ( stock turbo set to probably 10-12psi ) and have it run cleaner ( suspect the 3" turbo back etc has sh*tted on my economy ) for my trip down south soon for the WSBK. Hopefully I can get it all installed and tuned by then. As for who I am getting it tuned with, I will be going with Toshi, (not hearing back from DVS so scratch that). There is also Birrong Auto but not sure if they do nistune installations and if they even tune it... Otherwise, anyone know where I can get my hands on an aluminium intake/suction pipe for an RB25DET NEO?
    • The german cars I've worked on seem to have that issue(in more than just headlights). Mostly where hot, but also just the insulation hardening and cracking in various places. Not abnormal from what ive seen.
    • According to the Muse website, similar material, but not the same. Meant to help with stopping the paint cracking. In saying that, I had genuine ones on my last grt, and never had that problem.   Could you post pics when you get them? Very much thinking of buying the Muse ones over fibreglass.
