ok, well it seems that there is an even spread amongst the people, some drive their skylines and some have less than adventurous daily weapons :S ...

the legacy wagon is a cool and different idea, and the camira is well umm yeah.....

Dane: I would normally steer clear of french build cars but the gti6 has grown and grown on me, i always liked the vr6 golfs but they are somewhat thirsty and getting a bit old compared to the pug, I know the seating position is a bit strange to say the least as i've driven the older 205gti and the newer 206gti both which are a pretty fun car to drive,

i have to sell another car before i can go shopping though. keep the thread going, it seems like a winner :)

You won;t be dissapointed with a 306 gti-6 man! Take a look at aussiefrogs.com, and the gti-6 owners club in the UK for some more info if you need it.

I tossed up between the VR6 and the GTi-6 and obviously ended up going the VR6 route, but either would be a great choice, and the pug would certainly cost less to keep on the road.

As for 205GTi's... I will own one as soon as I have somewhere to put it! Tarmac rally 205... mmmmmmm

I drive the R31 line to work and the R32 line on the weekends...

Love the 32 but don't like risking leaving in the street. (The r31 was hit and run)

r31 is getting a bit tired though... needs complete suspension work over. (engine runs well @ 260,000km)

So I have the same problem...what do I do?

Spend $1500+ fixing the r31?

or sell it and spend another $4000 - $8000 on a tow vehicle/daily driver

haha, yeah i have been browsing those forums for a while now, just reading up.

that little 205 is sick: post-9640-1161839728.jpg

I have a couple of friends who have pugs or have had in the past, including a 93ish 205 gti series 3 limited edition with leather and a few factory options, he told me buyer beware, if things break on pugs they break properly and, for example you should budget approx 1200-1800 for a clutch (incl install) that is a lot of coin, i wouldn't spend that on my nissan let alone daily frog breath hatchback. i've still got a while to go before i will be buying so knowing me i'll change my mind another 10 times.

A replacement clutch for a gti-6 is around $900 from peugeot, excluding labour I think, but if you shop around you can pick one up for about $400 I think. The gearbox would be my biggest concern, replacement cost is 7k... ouch :P

A Sorrento 205 would be nice, but 90% are clagged by now...

yeah but how cool is the idea of a tiny little hatch with a 6 speed box, if the box is genuinely worth 7k it'd want to be half decent and unbreakable with standard power... well maybe a chip and remus and intake...springs...swaybar..sticky tyres, see i'm at it again, cars aren't cool at all.

I have a poo brown 79 Gemini.

The odometer is on its 5th way round and its great for knocking over bins and going over speed humps without slowing down.

Hahahah classic, reminds me of my mates oldschool Range Rover that we used to take for late-night "Bin Runs" :)

I doubt you'd have too many troubles man, but something to keep in mind if it does happen. If you want to drive one I'm sure he'll be cool with letting you take it for a spin.

haha it's never ending man... I wasn't supposed to mod the clubbie either...but...you know...

He has induction, eibachs, remus and a system so far, and soon rims and new clutch. A few little mods and the car has come alive.

    • People still have Skylines? I thought they're non-existent now. 
    • Harness update time have had great fun and learnt so much already so far with this project. I started off making both the ignition and injector sub harnesses in the hope any mistakes i made here aren't as hard to undo and learn from as the main harness.  A cool comparison of the old harness using presumably TXL wire and the new which is using Tezel. Also opted to use DTM plugs to keep the whole setup as neat and tidy as possible and tucked the wiring under the coil bracket to try and keep it all from sticking out too much. Although the injector harness, I'm not overly happy with as I'm still using the rubber boots that are supplied with the type of plugs it just looks ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb with the white identifiers so a slight redesign may be done.   Then it was main harness time and most importantly trying to route it nice and away from the heat it will use the OEM heater hose routing which is no longer present to keep the harness up high and secure. it's amazing how much smaller this harness is able to be compared to the old one. plugged everything into the emtron and with the help of the tuner again attempted to start it up and instantly fired up and running smoothly on all 6 which was a big shock to myself. So still some routing and adjusting to be done for the final fit up and installing a knock sensor harness plug which is in the post all has gone surprisingly well.     The old harness for shits and giggles.
    • They do that at random every now and then, with almost no detectable cause. Mine has done it a couple of times (over 25 years!!). Never worked out why.
    • I don't post on here and have been lurking for some time now. Many of the topics have helped me out more times than i can count. I was racing yesterday (11/9) and blew a front right CV shaft. I have spares so I popped a new one in. A thread i read previously said to check the engine mounts if you blow a front CV. Upon inspection, the front right mount was completely separated from the upper plate. This discovery saved me time and money, because i would have blown another CV if i went back out. Just wanted to thank you guys and wish everyone luck with with their builds. (Now if we could only come up with a solution for my power steering belt flying off after hitting the rev limiter, lol)
    • Either way he still need those style of spacer to go into the manifold because the photo he currently has is not going to work
