fair enough

i know a mate from school had a series 4 non turno was nice and cozzy inside but swent like a slug....

woudlnt mind geting a turbo and having a play with it

... although one day il get a skyline again.. love them to much but at the moment ... its not the best car for me at da moment...

hahaha an XF.... screw that... u can get a nice series 4 cheap as these days so u would have a lot left over from ur line to fix/mod it up... i was thinking of selling my 32 and buying a s4 rx7 til i had enough for a monster GTR in a couple of years... convertibles are going for about 8k landed and complied.

Both my best friends have s4s. I have driven them aswell. They are slow compared to an R33, have hardly any torque, but with a few mods they are fast, similar to a modded r33, and get around 160kw atws with exhausts and small boost increase.

Anythin else?

Oh also they are quite reliable if u let them warm up fully before thrashing them. It all depends on the cars history on how reliable they will be... My mates is already leaking oil, had it for 6 months. 60k log books, stock.

hmm interesting thanks for the info..

well at the moment its inbetween a Series 4 rx7... Vl turbo.. my mates old VL.. run flat 11s in it

and wil do a 10 sec pass with a decent trimatic in it..

or a standard vs calais.. as suggested by my gf :-(

so hmm. i like the rx7s tho

XF ... lol.. have i got a project for YOU :P wanna supercharge my bro's XF wagon and get it into 12s?? hehe

depends what u want.. but there are plenty of 89 vehicles under $10k to choose from other than a RX7 if u want something different. Subscribe to the j-spec and/or prestige lists to see what is out there.

Get an 83 supra with the 5mge something in it and whack the 1gzt ( the 2,5 or 3 lt turbo one ) in it, the 83 came with flare guard and everthing, will look mad with slam 18inches and a FRONT MOUNT.

Meant to be my project car but i fell in love with the 4round lights babe.

    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
    • Something coarse-ish. 180 is good.
    • I was surprised to see all the quick Jack models at the same prices on there. But yeah, grabbing one at 20% off would be great.
