Just Me Venting.. Why Buy Non Turbo..

[dori34]

How do you tell wether its auto or manual from the outside?

What are you guys' views on putting a GTS badge on a GTS/GTS-T? I'm looking for one atm.

its on carsales mate

[STYLN]

someone should tell him that big exhaust tips give you an extra 2000 jiggawatts

OMFGROFLMFAO!

[G0DZLR]

calm down....lol. i saw some V6 commodore the other day with a GENIII badge on it...

[scathing]

and the original GT-R was N/A which was what Scathing was probably referring to

At least one person on a Skyline forum remembers that the original GT-R was 2WD and NA.

well then you are still a twat for putting the badge off a new car onto an old car.

The post I quoted never said anything about putting badges from newer car onto an old NA Skyline, just their presence at all. I'm pretty sure the KPGC10 had GT-R badges on it from the factory.

[bozodos]

thats why I told you that you should quit while you're ahead marc HAHA

[Touge Kyousou]

Wow... just read this thread in it's entirety.. i think i started skimming from page 7 or so onwards.

Words escape me on how disgusting this thread is lol. I guess it's crap like this that gives SAU a bad name.

And yeah, i own a n/a skyline and love it - i've had gt-r owners offering swaps/swaps + cash my way but i still have my n/a skyline.

As for n/a skyline being labelled pov pack..that's a pretty big insult considering i could've bought a 33 gt-r with change leftover instead. There are quite a few nice n/a lines out there from all gens.

To the guy pulling 1.14's in the 32 around wakefield without FI, very nice dude.

Oh, forgot to mention i'm an n/a enthusiast.. and yes, i have owned a turbo before. Didn't really like it much but of course, that's all personal preferences etc. Was glad to get back into an n/a car.

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

you fear teh turbo dont you

[DRD-00F]

Why were you glad?

And how isn't an N/A skyline povpack? It's far cheaper then every turbo of the same vehicle. I'm assuming you have a 34 GTS

Why didn't you swap your N/A for a GTR? Insurance? Age? Too easy to break? I'm assuming you have a 34 GTS and someone wanted to swap/swap + cash for a 32 GTR, which is a broad spectrum.

Don't read it the wrong way, I'm geniunly interested.

[peterw]

if you look under his name it says 350GT.

[DRD-00F]

ohhhh yeah... I totally don't count those as skylines, and there is no turbo variety, so everything he just said is null and void.

His reason for buying non turbo is "There is no other option"

So good for him.

[R34 -_-]

Just for technicality sake there is no R34 GTS, there are only: GT GTV GTX GTT GT4 GTR and then all the GTR spec models. GTS stopped after the r33.

I hate ppl calling R34's gts and gtst's.

The 350/370gt's etc don't need a turbo, they make similar power as the r34 AND more power than the r32 + r33 turbo models

If they did have a turbo there target market (old farts) probably wouldn't want to buy them

Edited September 23, 2009 by R34 -_-

[mad082]

bit hard to say that all NA skylines are good because one that has a 3.5L NA motor is ok. it is going to spank the arse off a RB20DE r32, and rightly so. i don't mind the 350GT and yes i'm sure they go alright, but they aren't really in the picture here as they make up for their lack of turbo by having an extra 1000cc of capacity over the next most powerful NA skyline (rb30 doesn't count as it puts out less power than a rb25)

LOL

The neighbours (granny & grandpa) have 2 V35s, 1 sedan & 1 coupe...

The V series is more of a luxury car than a performance car IMO.

[Willmander]

calm down....lol. i saw some V6 commodore the other day with a GENIII badge on it...

LOL! Just the other day I saw a Ralli-art sticker on the back windscreen of a suzuki 4wd.

[R34 -_-]

I would love to know what kind of cars we'll be driving when we get gray and wrinkly. and also what the new generation will be driving when they get to our age lol....

[DRD-00F]

Probably cheap ass thrashed out R35 GTRs

[scathing]

The 350/370gt's etc don't need a turbo

I've driven Z33s with and without turbos (and they're lighter than the V35, with practically the same everything else). Trust me, they do.

I'll probably be long dead by then due to disease. & you will probably find a bunch of riced cheap china cars around by then

[dori34]

Togue, i see where you are coming from since you have a 350GT then thats fair enough Lol. if i had a V35 then i wouldn't complain either, its an waesome NA car
