Got A Solution For Ppl Sick Of Skylines Being Stolen...


Recommended Posts

I have had 3 skylines .. a 33 series 1 a 33 series 2 and an r34 gtt.

Love the fact that they are 206 kw factory... hate the fac that someone wants to steal them every chance they can.

Insurance is expensive, some ppl dont even have insurance.

But where are you going to get a car with style with the following options;

200kw factory

AWD

Smooth look and feel...all the fruit you need!

4 Cylinder turbo, cheap to run, insure and register....

And stealth enought to not attract the attention of the law and criminals?

Legnums are deff' the go if you want a turbo wagon 2.5 litre twin turbo V6 (6A-13) and they are cheaper, iron chef has a few from 10,800 to 14,500, that or a stagea.

still the soccer mums car but....

hmm ive read nothing but stolen r32/33/34's for months, now ive heard knife point car jackings and ram raids for a skyline.

I would rather have a caldina with the same power as a skyline but without all the bullshit any day..

And they look tough.

you know you can get up to a 2007 model one of these.

Yes the Iron Chef has a couple but they are pre 2002.

you can now pick up a Audi A4 b6 turbo quattro for mid 20 - 30's (avant if you are looking for wagon)

the pre 02 caldina looks poo and i doubt 03 onward will be any cheap

it really makes me wonder why imports?

when i had my S13 or r33 5,6 years ago

there were nothing in the market provide similar options, performance and style for under $60,000

imports were the obvious choice, as a shitty E36 318i costs more than a R33 gts-t

now they are no longer the most money for value

I still own one only because I am passionate about skyline

if I have to make a sensible change I would have a decent look around before I consider an import again

A soccer mums car is a toyota torago, or a an urban SUV/4wd.

Legnums and WRX Wagons and Caldina are not soccer-mum cars, they are hatches and wagons, furthermore, there is no such thing as "soccer" in Australia. its football. Soccer resides in the US.

    • Yeh... literally every time i jump on a forum, see an instagram post or see an engine bay at a car show, i get an idea and add it to my 'to do' list. So what started off as, hey can u just make a couple of intake hard pipes because my dumbass bought the wrong apexi kit, blew out into a 2 week job including braided brake lines & custom bash kit for the front lip haha.  Getting Luke from A4E engineering to make a full custom exhaust with a controllable aes dump valve so i can actually switch between quiet and loud, because right now its just loud all day every day. Then after that go and get the tune redone flex e85 & 98 as i get bugger all milage from e85, makes going for longer drivers difficult
    • Car looks clean as. You ended up getting quite a bit done 😂  So what's the plan for the exhaust? 
    • The only Neo rods that were any different to any other RB25 rods were the DET ones, and they were the same as RB26. Here is a Neo DET rod. O5U part number visible. Here is a post in a thread here on SAU with evidence from someone who has done this before. There are photos in the thread of normal RB25 rods.  
    • Sure, but why assume that will be the case forever? And why assume you'll be able to do an oil change to swap back to a stock drain bolt before that happens? And does it even matter when I change the oil at fairly short intervals? Life can be funny sometimes and unexpected things can happen. Like breaking a collarbone so you can't do any work on your car for a few months but the oil change is due so you have to take it to somewhere and hope they don't do something stupid like stacking the new drain plug washer on top of the old one.
    • Do u know how to identify the rods are rb25 or neo ones? Can u look into the pics and tell me is they de or de neo ones. Its confusing becoz my motor has de neo head but block is 25de 75t, so really confusing me about rods, crank.
