well porche has one nice mofo of an engine in its strainght 6 and so does BMW with their m3 straight 6 and so does nissan with the rb's and so does toyota with their 2jz....i can see some sort of trend here...

my bro's 85zx was a 3L v6 but could only make 160hp yet my old supra was a 3L straight 6 and made 200hp! and we all know there's nothing wrong with the power out of nissan engines!

holden has a ***ed up v6 as does the magna so i base all my opinions on the evidence...

Has any car company made a V4? And would there be any savings in making one?

Yep SAAB made a V4 at the end of the 95/96 model cycle, and Lancia have been making them for decades. What a sweet little donk that is. :uh-huh:

ford made a V4 back in the 70's for the capri, granada and transit and it was a piece of crap of a motor.

porsche never ever made an inline six. they were either a flat six, inline four, flat four or V8. :P

the Wankel roatary engine was originally a design for a water pump. ;)

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
