I went for comfort.....comfort and some go.....

The older I get the more this keeps appealing to me.

Also the older I get the more I realise that having two cars is a better idea, one for the go and the other for the ride. There seems to be too many compromises in trying to achieve both in the same vehicle.

Exactly the same reason I've never bothered selling up the old R32. Simply keep making it faster and enjoy it as a little fun car that is occasionally driven.

Its cheap; don't owe anything on it and its really not worth selling. But great fun and brings a smile to my face every time I drive it.

I voted for Handling/Braking... general dynamics. My reasoning being, often driving along in traffic to work, with the other richard craniums on the road, good brakes is a must! Then when I go for a drive on the weekends, I like to head for the hills and have some fun, thus the handling, brakes and dynamics all come in to play.

This is why I chose the SP23 as a daily - great drivers car for the above. Sure it severely lacks power, but once up and moving in the hills, I dont have much trouble keeping pace with much faster cars (kept up with 200awkw Pulsar GTIR and 175 awkw VR4 Galant without many issues). It's all about how the car will handle the bend and how big balls you have! LOL

Sure I love the power of the legnum, but it wasn't the main deciding factor - AWD and AYC were the big attractions, TTV6 was just a bonus! :P

The 350 Z was an awesome car to drive with comfortable interior, wicked handling and the brembos are great too, BUT it doesn't have the grunt that my GTR does. It is much better in a number of ways but the GTR is an animal with massive grunt and 4wd etc...

With me it was comfort. and just how the car feels inside.

I couldnt care how f how it handles and stopped. It just had to feel right.

ok I lie i lie

I need power and i need it low down in the revs to high up. I just want power everywhere.

Best thing i like about my car atm

Is i pretty much have all thoes boxes ticked

I reckon it looks good

Has power

Has handling + brakes

Has comfort

Has economy

Also has decent modifying potential

I got greedy & wanted everything hence the reason why I bought what I did.

Still love the 32 GTR's (in the looks, power & handling dept) & nearly got one.

      While doing my tailgate struts I found some rust. Also replaced my bonnet struts. Such a cool satisfaction with that job.

      Should I use rust converter on this?

      By PranK · Posted

      So I removed as much as I could from both sides. The shop vac did a great job of clearing 99% of it. I got it all as clean as I could and then absolutely drenched the whole lot in the rust converter. Tonight or tomorrow I'll hammer it again. The cavity must be close to 400mm in length and surprisingly I was able to get it right to the back.  I'll quickly reassemble and then pretend I never saw it. I'll post pics (for me to ignore later) soon.

      Help Understand GTT Boost Setup

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I have always resisted the urge to go silly. 8" wide wheels and street friendly spring rates? Check. (Let's not talk about the steadily increasing spread of spherical joints across my suspension!!) Stock turbo, run at 12 psi? Check. Lasted for~?10 years before it died. Highflow put on rather than seizing the opportunity to go G45. You don't need 300 rwkW, let alone the more massive numbers that seem to be essential these days, to have a car that is already way too powerful and fast for a streeter. ~250rwkW is fine. I've never exceeded 200, although I will sneak up above it if and when I manage to get my finger out and do what needs to be done to use the highflow's capacity. You don't need $10k worth of CF bits glued onto the outside. You don't need razor sharp ankle cutting front splitters. You don't need the car to be 2" off the ground. You don't need flawless paint, mirror finished wheels, brand new indicator lenses, etc etc. All these things just make the car impractical and will cause you pain when they get damaged, which is inevitable for a street car. A few nice additions are good. Good seats are good. A nice stereo is good. A/C is good! (46° on the road yesterday and my A/C is degassed again. Was moderately traumatic driving home!) The main reason I stick with a mildly modified old Skyline is that I have had it for >25 years, the mods are the rolling result of 25 years of things dying and being upgraded opportunistically, coupled with a few "just 'coz" ones. And I hate almost all modern cars. If I was a young buck starting out now.... I wouldn't bother. Cars have a few years left where there is any possibility of interest or fun. Thereafter there will be no such thing allowed or possible. Any time, money and effort spent now on a project would just be a waste.
