I will personally punch you in the ovaries if you sell yours and buy this Greg!! :/

The P plates are a dead give away as to what life this car has lived (still speaking from experience :) ) and considering the price of petrol its a no brainer :D

At the end of the day what are you looking at using the car for?? you seemed to have fun at Texikhana :P

Totally agree, Stick with the line.

I did have to think on it for a bit though as I too have a soft spot for VS clubby's.

The only reason to swap would be for the noisy rumble.

Just take the exhaust off the line.....lol......

one of my closest friends owns a vs senator 215 stroked to 5.7L and hates life.

as soon as my friend gets his full license he'll be changing to turbo cars.. he can't stand v8's anymore.

i was a v8 boy back in the day. i put a deposit on a VQ statesman 5.0L... but cancelled within 3 days and got my liner. i'll never turn back! ;)

pros:

nice for long cruises on the freeway

boys like v8's

cons:

my friend spends $20 a day getting to work and back.. changing gears under 2k rpm

people say R33's are like boats? wait till you drive a holden..

interior has only minor upgrades from the vn/vp

not as customizable as a skyline

engine isn't cooling efficient, rev her out and expect problems

more money spent, less HP/kW gained

girls like turbos

at the end of the day, get what you want! :thumbsup:

Thats actually a really clean clubby mate...

However yourskyline would destroy it at the drags and around a track.

The 355 would certainly sounds pureporn!!!!

Id be sticking with the line mate.

I came from the Holden side....and it would take alot for me to go back!!!! :thumbsup:

^agree

Mate, i own both a 1966 mustang GT, and a 93 GTR. I have driven r33 gtst's as we have one in the family.

I love my V8 she is not only better looking that the GTR but gives me a buzz nothing else can.

HOWEVER the GTR is a car that goes around corners goes great in a straite line and still is a great looking motor car. (if i had to give one up i would be pulling my hair out, but at the end of the day the mustang would still be in the garage.)

Your r33 is a better looking car than that. And will handle much better and be quicker.

If your sick of the r33 maybe look at a GTR, or go for the v8. Keep in mind they are good for diffent things, V8's are burnout machines the best in the business. They also make cheap power and are much cheaper to buy most parts.

The liner is a better car, i wouldn't be handing over cash ontop of the car.

V8s are great, but thats the wrong car to own if you want a v8.

My 2 cents

In a few years to come....maybe 5 to 10 even earlier....when all the newer model cars have hit the road,,the VS

will look ancient and outdated, everyone will be looking at you as though you are causing all the Worlds

pollution problems.

The Skyline on the other hand is seen by many young and old of today as a iconic vehicle....

having purpose,style and character...having purpose(GTR) but yet being able to be driven daily.

Lets face it.....2 door..coupe..good lines etc etc etc....versus...4 door..sedan..boat shaped.

You are like comparing a track car to a shopping car.

Put them on the 1/4 mile...put them on the track.....skyline looks better..feels better..handles better...

and most of all gets the chicks...lol.

Keep your car...Its the real deal.

      High temp brake fluid?

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I've always approached this as, price is comparable between low temp and high temp fluid. Just put in the high temp fluid. I've not going to lose any sleep thinking about could I have saved $20 on brake fluid that is going to live in the car over the next 2 to 3 years.

      Nah, the creases were pretty large, and the sheet metal is pretty thin and hard to work out, time alone is in the hours to fix, and would probably have more bog than I would be happy with In other, more happy news, I gave MX5 Mania a call and they have a few clean boots available for $400 a peice, I've contacted Fineline and given them their contact details, I'm a idiot for not thinking of them sooner

      High temp brake fluid?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      That really depends on how hot the brakes get and how much of any heat is transferred into the fluid. That really makes it at least a vehicle specific question, and more than like a specific vehicle specific question, depending on what brakes (ie stock, bigger rotors, different calipers) or even what pads are on it. And then there's the question of cooling air. Is there plenty stock? Is there no special cooling arrangements stock? Has some/more been added? In other words, I think you have to do the experiment to obtain the data. And if you;re worried - tie on some ducting?

      High temp brake fluid?

      By PranK · Posted

      In all the track days I've done over the past few months I've only had 1 issue with braking and thats with my current EBC pads (can't remember the colour, but they're not a track pad). I don't *think* I have had issues with brake fluid getting too hot, my understanding is that when that happens you will have quite noticeable brake loss - which I haven't had.  I'm using just regular ol' Penrite Super DOT4 fluid. I use this fluid in everything and my cars always seem to stop so I see no reason to change, except ... for the 335i. I need to do a fluid flush and was thinking about my fluid of choice and wondering if I should consider using something more high temp? Its not a super fast car by any standards but I'd hate to do a flush and then find myself with no brakes when I get. to Wakefield.  I guess, my question can be summed up as "How fast do you need to be driving to need higher temp brake fluid?"  I remember high temp fluid was considered a must have back in the day when I had my GTR.

      RB25DET in GTS4 R32 conversion

      By Jason Abell · Posted

      For anyone that comes here looking for answers on what can go wrong with gts-4 to rb25detneo swap. The Gloria's awd sump is different and does not fit. The rb25neo from stagea are exactly the same sump bolt pattern and axel alignment. Castings numbers are different on Gloria's blocks and oilpans if they need to be identified.
