hi guys,

i used to own a 180sx about a year ago but sold it because of the peak oil prices , i got myself a honda jazz in auto because i am currently getting 450km per tank and it cost me no more than $50 for a full tank about 7l/100km.. after a year although it is saving me money on fuel and insurance... i miss driving my turbo car. seeing that the r33 series 2 are dropping around the same price as my jazz....what do you think is good?

1. sell my honda jazz and buy a r33 of my choice ( alot of options through forum and carsales )

( this will take more time of course)

2. swap for someone with a r33 that wants a jazz aswel

btw my jazz is a 2002 GLI 68k on the clock CVT AUTO

2 x 12" sony xplod sub, pioneer mp3 player, kicker front splits tweeters, rear kicker speakers, kicker 4ch amp, and audio barn monoblock amp, 15" tints

Yeah but atleast you'll have a daily, my daily (corolla) saves me a shot load of cash, but then parents pay rego and insurance while I pay fuel and servicing, also I remember there was a place Which was giving cash for cars and they'd give a few grand more than what it's worth, look it up you may get enough for the skyline and some mods or some new rims

i'd be surprised if the jazz is quite as valuable as you think...

yeah.. unlike R33 skylines hey?

if you want to swap your car, head over to boostcruising.com everyone is looking to sell or swap.

It's actually quite good place to swap.

Everyone is looking for something else..

i get atleast 450km before i fill it back up with $50 every tuesday night..... 550 if i really risk having to push it $60 in fuel???? i'd rather keep my gtst with similar fuel consumption.

Bloody honda adding so many extras to the car it makes it weigh a tonn and the engine struggles to pull it from a standing position....

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
