I hear a lot about the rotors being shit to keep in good condition, but is this a rumour or is it actually shit? Are you guys saying it's shit because it's actually shit or are you just pissed off deep down inside that these engines are better?

Serious question. :P

they are shiet.. well the older ones, the newer renesis editions are pretty good.. the older ones wear the apex seals alot that was the main problem, but if these are replaced with some decent aftermarket ones then thats one of the main 13b related problems out of the way.. The engines are awesome though

expensive and hard to maintain doesnt necessarily mean they're shit. i love rotary's and would one day love to own a fd

Hmmm yes and further enjoy the fact that (in the case of the commodore) you have one of the worst most unrefined transmissions put into a car, horrible sounding V6, boat to drive, the most common car on the road....

Why does having the transmission change gears in 0.05s matter during highway cruising? The V6 will end up sounding better than an RB with a big exhaust droning at constant revs after an hour or 3. Boat - same thing, it was made to be comfortable while cruising along on the highway - Skylines with stiff suspension are a bitch on long trips, you just want to get out of it and into something comfortable. Most common car on the road - helps when it stops in the middle of nowhere or when it comes to service time and just about anyone has the parts/knowledge.

Your experiences flogging a VY SS have nothing to do with my suggestion to this bloke to buy a V6 family car which was made to do exactly what he wants to use this car for.

    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc.   It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things.   Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing"   As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things.   It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first.   There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one.   However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long time  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
    • Dropped the MX5 of this morning to get the hardtop colour matched and some PDR done, they are also going to give it a buff to remove some "stubborn" swirl marks and light scratches in the clear coat Over the last few months the poor little thing has copped some shopping centre car park abuse, I try to not park in them, but hitting Westfield's a few times over the last few months has taken its toll, nothing really bad, but enough of a trigger for a "while we're in there" thingie  Once it's back and all the one colour, with a few dents and mark's removed I'll give some of these products a go and see what they're like
