I don't really like the SUBARU that much, its DESIGN is not as good as the skyline, but perhaps the MAINTENANCE is the same for the both the SUBARU and skyline because there are lots of parts here. The THING is you are asking a skyline forum, so the answer will be biased. But WITH all MY experience to date, I would consider the cash that it takes to buy, run and maintain either of the cars. The REASON I'm saying this is because running either car will cost you heaps. Think about it carefully before you decide to buy either.

EDIT: underlined more mistakes

Hey all..

Advice.

What car would get if you had a choice saburu wrx new model or old skyline model lol

Are wrx new models good 97? any ideas which one is good n stuff?

I had a discussion wid ma dad, he is willing me to buy a new car stead of buying a old model skyine coz of various reasones parts n stuff..

what you guys think wrx is a good car n looks goods? cheaper costs than skyline for maintenace n parts ?

thanks for replying

but one think, i luv the desin of skyline. so stylish

What?

Anyway, they are 2 totally different cars. I owned both and each to their own...

It's a personal preference. Have a drive and see what is more your style.

Judging by the way you write and Daddy buying the car for you, buy the Rex... less chance of you losing control of the car and ... better not say it!

When I was deciding what car I wanted in the end it was between a r32 93 or a wrx 97. Pretty much because there both turbo and both legal to drive on your P's. The only reason why I’m looking to buy a r32 now is because to me it looks better, there easier and I’m guessing cheaper to make power from, both make good notes from the exhaust though and both cost a arm to insure, in the end it’s your choice.

i do believe he asked for advice on CARS....not a lesson in English. Or are you all too clever to realise that?

So you critisise us for having a go at his incomprehensible post and say we should give him advice on CARS as he asks..... But its okay for you to critisise us AND give him no advice on his CAR choice..... :glare:

    • Ok glad you clarified on the frenchy’s options , I was worried about if my oem hoses would fit the new compressor or not if I just bought the bracket/compressor kit ,  didn’t realize they also sold a larger full conversion kit. Hmm may just go oem in that case then to make it easy only because I plan to sell this car to upgrade to a 32 GTR or 34 GTT.
    • Right, here's a video of the basic operation at least.  This is what you can expect day to day when you turn the car on and it boots from standby.  The only thing from a media point of view I haven't gotten working is for it to autoplay plexamp when it turns on from standby (it works from cold boot) but that's more of a plexamp problem as it will autoplay other music players.  Also attached is my one stray cable.  It's part of the screen's wiring adapters but there's just nowhere for it to go in my car.  I've just now done a bit of research and found a matching port on a 2010-2014 head unit with BOSE.  Mine has no BOSE so that's that case pretty much closed I think.  Plugging in the Infiniti AC panel basically did nothing for me, so that's a dead end as well.  Next port of call is to mess with this CANBUS module and see what I can find from it.  I found this resource containing the DBC files for a 2010+ G37 : https://github.com/icecube45/Dash_InfinitiG37/blob/master/InfinitiG37.dbc I'll now have something to go from when I try to extract my CANBUS data so I can see if the HVAC Mode, Fan Speed, Temperature, etc. match and also the gear shifter position.  It's a pretty big assumption that it's just mismatched CAN signals but considering all the devices in the CAN network are talking to each other (AC can be fully adjusted just with no info on screen) it might be a safe one.  I will report back WhatsApp Video 2025-02-26 at 12.49.10.mp4
    • Thanks for that Paul.  Do you think if I posted a picture you'd be able to remember where it went? 
    • Sorry Duncan, I didn't get a notification for the replies.  Thanks for responding!  It's a full Android device, but does allow you to use CarPlay/AA as well.  This is the one I bought from NaviRS on AliExpress: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005006368602668.html?spm=a2g0o.order_list.order_list_main.111.59aa1802JDzQ0E - the 2K 8G-256G CAM variant but it seems to have gone up by £170 since I bought it!  My purchase was £307.14.   It's not the fastest thing in the world but performs perfectly adequately.  It stays on standby unless I disconnect the battery and let it power down, then it's just a fairly standard Android bootup time from cold.  The DSP Equaliser is very nice and made the standard stereo system sound pretty decent compared to the stock screen.  Perhaps I can take a video of it when I get a sec. It *allegedly* supports the reverse camera, but I'm yet to get that working.  It has options for reverse cam (a camera unit can be bought separately) or 360 cameras (also bought separately).  To be fair it doesn't seem to detect that the shifter was put into reverse but I'm working on a theory about this as well.  At the moment I'm going without which is a bit annoying considering the car is an absolute canal barge but so far I haven't caused any damage I'll grab a picture of the wire I'm missing later today when I can get outside.  My theory, by the by, is that not only is the head unit different, but the CANBUS network has different signals for the different years.  I think this because I have a spare AC panel from a newer Infiniti G37 (as opposed to my Nissan panel) which wouldn't control anything except the volume when I had it wired up with the stock system.  I'm going to throw it back in and see if the screen will respond to it.  I've just ordered an arduino CANBUS module so I can have a look at the signals going around the car and see if I can spot anything.  I'm thinking if I can work out what it's expecting vs what it's getting I might be able to translate and relay the signal back but so far just a theory anyway. I also found this on my travels, so far the only one that specifically matches my car: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002822934280.html?spm=a2g0s.imconversation.0.0.33433e5fgttovi If you look at the picture of the before, it has the card reader slot, and the picture of the head unit is exactly the same as the one pictured in my original post.  I asked if they sell the cables separately but sadly they won't.  I didn't want to just buy this one because it's a super old Android version and only dual core - likely slow as hell. 
    • As above, you did refill the coolant and burp the system before running it again didn't you?
