Just Me Venting.. Why Buy Non Turbo..

[scathing]

wow two pages ago i saw a young skyline enthusiast get smacked for her posts not being consistent and her know all approach since joining.

You say it like its a bad thing.

For sake of keyboard warriors and argument over who's right etc etc that member will probably lose interest in the forum and run off to some other place witha set attitude that the members of SAU are dickheads

I'd say that was a better reputation to get than the reputation of places like boostcruising, ns.com, etc where people say that you've got no f**king idea of what you're on about.

Then you just become the butt of every other automotive enthusiasts' joke. At least here they'll be saying, "They're pretty harsh on stupidity, but its where you go if you want the right answer".

Did you guys forget she's young? God i said some stupid shit in and out of dreaming about my ride in my younger days...

So did I.

But when more knowledgable and experienced people corrected me I didn't sit there arguing with them about it without any kind of evidence to their contrary, or at least some logical hypothesises based on scientific/engineering fundamentals.

While Miss R34 is out there representing the ladies and the skyline scene alike, polishing her pride n joy the very fact that she wants some respect for the N/A skyline was enough to overshadow her accomplishments

What accomplishments has she got that are worthy of respect? Respect freely given is worthless. It should be earned to carry any weight.

We are all part of the Skyline family, I mean..which parents treat there babies like crap?

Good parents should correct their children if they've got false pretences, and give them a good smack if gentle encouragement of the truth doesn't seem to be working.

Hey

I just bought a R33 GTS... and i am absolutely in love with it

But like ive herd off a couple of friends "Why even buy a skyline if its not turbo" not to my face of course..

Like they are commonwhore owners.. like vn's.. is it coz i dont fit in.. f**K! im sorry i dont have sagging doors like you guys. geesh.. ... im sorry my rb sounds decent.. i could go on and on..

But yeah i just had to be different and not get a holden liek everyone else.. hell i could have bought like 5 of them.. But ive love'd the shape of r33's for like 5 years now.. Best damn p-plater car ive seen. Like you holdens arnt v8's? or charged... so ha

So yeah, just me blowing steam... coz people cant say what they think to my face... Sour grapes i say..lol

You guys have common experiences? Show me some skyline love

Nick.

Insurance is the biggest killer for me I refuse to pay the massive premiums for having a turboed car, i know the quotes on potential V35

are high enough I'd hate to see what they'd be if they came in turbos

Skyline N/A = Good

Skyline T = Better

Skyline TT = Best

Period, now go to sleep! good night.

Skyline T = best. All the high power GT-Rs end up going to a big single.

You ever worked on a twin turbo?

FARK. THAT!

[Turk1]

What's wrong with working a TT?

[zebra]

Unless you have carny hands or deep pockets they are a nightmare to work on

[central coast person]

still doesn't compare to a 300zx twin turbo. It takes half an hour to put your hand in the engine bay then another half an hour to put tool in the hand then another hour to take 1 bolt of the 4 bolts off ........ yeah sucks

[MissR34]

my ae82 takes 10 mins to do the plugs........the 34 well bout an hour lol and thats if im plodding aloong taking my time hahaha i can get it done quicker tho

hahahah iv never seen a 300zx being worked on but it cant be that bad!

anyway back to the topic since I'm on my P's NA is all im driving and to all commodore fans there decent cars but don't compare when it comes to skyline (looks and power (in some cases) i prefer a tuner over a Holden not saying they are bad in fact my brother owns three Holdens (VN 5.0L V8 Manual, VY S-Pack, VQ Statesman Series II) there great cars but there to common and don't look as good as the skyline.

you've obviously never seen the engine bay of a z32 then, LOL.

so he may have exagerated a bit on the time thing. if you have one of those magnetic tool things they it is only about 20 mins to get the tool into your hand. but without it, if you drop a tool, don't expect to see it again. you will just be driving along, hear a bit of a ting and know that your tool just fell out and will have bounced off the road and into the grass on the side of the road.

You'd better have the hands of a small child and the finger grip of a chronic masturbator if you don't want to lift the engine out to do even the most minor things.

[mad082]

and have a rope tied to ANY tool you even place near the engine bay, and magnetise any screwdriver or socket you use with the strongest magnet you can find to minimise the loss of nuts and bolts.

abd as well as small yet strong hands, don't forget being quadrouple jointed. basically the ability to be able to lay your fingers flat on the back of your hand, LOL

[DarkRyda]

Damn i take back the first comment i made it must be hell to work with that engine bay, it looks difficult to even try and take out the battery LOL! i should have goggled it before i replied @ mad082 your right i haven't bothered to look at that engine bay properly great example picture scathing.

[GTR-32U]

Yep, as much as I love the Z32's and I almost bought one years ago. The only thing that put me off was the engine bay. I took one good look, imagined how ( if ) I would be able to do simple basic work ie plugs, belts ,filters etc....and thought No way...impossible... god knows how you would go about changing sparkplugs, Pull the inlet manifolds off maybe ?

[peterw]

engine bay in the z32 was a key reason I didn't end up getting one. looked like a major PITA

[N-DAWG]

and to think that one of those has been put in an S13 with twin turbos lol

300zx engine bay is the worst to work on..

GTR-23U, you dont have to remove inlet manifold to change the plugs,

coilpacks are on the top and just undo 2 bolts for each pack.

[SLAPS]

So... on that note lol Why by Non-Turbo?

The raspy n/a sound?

lol so you can sit there in awe of how good it sounds while having your doors sucked off by a 5L commodore....
