its finally time....

[Horus]

I agree

Budget wise, 32/33 GTR is looking like the best option for me atm...

[predator]

rallying? hmm.. you're going to take a rex rallying worth that much? for that buy an old datto for $2000 with full spec rollcage, a few mods, and rally ready.. and spend the rest on whatever you want to drive around each day. Gravel isn't forgiving.

$900 worth of fun.. hehe

[inark]

gimie the gist of it as i aint on that forum.. i think.

but im not talking hardcore constant rallying... i just wanna take it out there and thrash it round the vineyard on the dirt a bit... do somethin its probably never done in its life

[funkymonkey]

u flea on the tip of a pube... how many times do i have to tell you...

R34 GTt

[inark]

if u can find me a nice one thats importable right now for less than 30k go for it

[JEBEM]

Nik.. both me and u know what car u really want deep down..

Just get a VL bro..

just turn to ur dark side ,.. you know you want to man

[inark]

find me a 98 VL commy and i'll get one

[Greg]

not sure if this has been mentioned, but buying a wrx to drive for just 6 months seems rather foolish when you consider the cost of stamp duty payable and possible rego that would need renewing.

[akeenan]

greg is correct. !

theres been a few gtt manuals going through for under 30k.... ? i dunno...

[inark]

stamp duty wont be too much and rego the ones im looking at have at leats 10months

[inark]

however if i can find a 34 for under 30k or anyone knows of one then i will get that.

[R31Nismoid]

Nark... Eh, stoopido.

what are you doing?

You've just done all this work to it and now your selling?

Listen here... for the cost of a change over to a GT-t, you can put and RB25 into your car, bigger turbo... make approx 240rwkw. Also chuck in an RB25 gearbox to boot.

Also a nice set of coil overs and give your car a nice aggressive stance and handling to boot.

As it's the lighest skyline... you'd be VERY fast.

You'd come out infront of a 34 GT-t for price as you can sell your old motor and gearbox and get some $$$ back on them.

34's will become as common as R33's in a year or two and then you'll wanna get rid of it.

I dont see as many 32's as a see 33's... and lately i've been seeing a good volume of 34's around.

Plus... spending 30k or whatever on a 34, and then having to spend $$$ on mods (which i know you'll wanna do) wont get it to the level your 32 would be for the price.

I dunno, that's just my thoughts. I love my old 31 with '96 model running gear.

This is all because you got onwed by the Mrs aint it?

[inark]

y does everyone assume its because my gfs car ran a faster time? rofl u twits.

i want a new car tho thats the whole point... i dont want a beast i just want something new... i like the R34 interior, exterior and im not looking to mod the crap out of it...

but yeah i have got very attached to it and it looks sweet as right now... meh... i do like the sound of an RB25DET xplant and gearbox... but the RB25DET engine managment isnt as easy to play around with as the ECU on the RB20 which means i'll need shit like a E-Manage or something...

might email the guys at ice and bmt see how much that will cost... only prob that leaves me is i wont have a car for a month or how ever long it takes...

u bring up some good points ash i am going to have to think it over a little more now

[predator]

go the rb25 conversion!! S-AFC will do u fine for ages, $350..

otherwise if power isn't your main goal go the 34..

either that or give up on skylines altogether and buy that rex

[R31Nismoid]

I reckon you'd better think about it!

You car looks tough now it's all sprayed up!!!!!!

As far as ECU goes, it's probably easier to throw a P.FC in there, if you do turbo and that it'll help greatly.

Costing wise... i'd say ALL up.

25 Motor - $4000; Box - $1500; P.FC - $1800; Turbo - $2400; Coil-overs - 2g's

Now with labour i have NO idea, but my prices above are very generous.

You can sell you old motor/box for around $2500 for the lot.

That would HAVE to cover labour i would say.

And another $800 for your Stock turbo and ECU is you sell them,

Personally keep it for your EPA-EK (EPA emergency kit)

In all, Cost of STOCK R34 - change over say 15k

Cost of a serious performance/streetable conversion - 12K, and a very generous 12k that is too.

And all your parts would be far newer than what you have now so the car would be fresh.

More food for thought there

Im just in power mode ATM. So that's all i want in a car

And dont bother getting a WRX in the middle, that's just wasted $$$

[predator]

OR! swap your car for Meggalas car, he can sell off yours probably easier than his so he'll be happy.. and you have a unique SR20/R32 ..just stick your 4 injectors, new turbo, and PFC onto that and weee..

hahah - aren't you glad you started this thread now we're so useful ..lol

[inark]

haha pred... yeah its got the engine in all... but mine looks fatter

yeah ash i'll think about it... but at the moment im not really worried about huge power... just something decent.

[West]

Generously 13k for that upgrade? I think i know what's the problem is Nark:D .

We drive our car everyday and for that we're so used to the power, handling....ect...that we sometimes get sick of it and want something NEW.

What we need is a get away ( from our belove skyline ) for a week or two or even a month, go over sea, go where ever and after all that time away from it, tell ya what it's feel awesome when you jumb back onto that seat, throttle feeling....ect...you'll feel like you car is ready to run 10sec ( well happen to me when i left to LA, seeing a jungle off Honda over there made me feel sick )

IF i were you Nark, i would ignore the rb25 idea, i mean it's great, BIG power but for everyday driving thing, 12sec on street tyre is enough and i'm sure RB20 can handle that easily.

You already have great exterior now spend 7k on the engine and coil-over stuff ....then get a premium sound add a TV for traffic entertainment hahahaha.

[rs73]

inark,

you sellin' ur car?? wow...

but u're still coming with it to skidpan day aren't you?

fang it before you sell it
