I don't mean like a Ferrari or something....I mean same sort of budget.

It would be too easy to say a Silvia so that is why I say 'if you weren't allowed a Nissan'.

I'd be tempted to say an Evo VI or something but I've gone off them lately...they are a bit too 'try hard'.

Rexs are just a no-no.

S2000's have a great engine but are ghey in the final analysis (IMHO).

Falcon-doors are too common and boat like despite awesome power potentially.

Could never get a FWD hatch like a civic... :blink: . Hatches are for old people going shopping.

I like Supras.

MR2's are a bit ghey...lack road presence.

If I was gonna get a euro car it would be a Merc or Beamer, but the line between hairdressery euro car and 'cool' euro car is dangerously narrow, plus they COST.

So yeah I'd probably get a Supra.

LX SLR5000 (replica as a genuine would be waaay $_$), 400ci with a 6/71 blower hanging out of the bonnet and a manualised powerglide.. SKID MACHINE.

Sorry.. stopped dreaming (read: drooling), If I couldn't have my skyline.. I'd probably slit my wrists.

some of my cars of choice within budget would be RX7 RZ, BMW M3 or M5 (E36/E39), F6, or maybe even a boxster...ah what am I saying, why get a gay looking 986 boxster...

Boxsters' suck ass, I'd go a late 80's 911* over a Boxster anyday (my old lady has one and it's quite fun to drive, little bit faster than a stock 32gtst with some boost).

*This assumes I'm willing to pour the coin required into a 911 that old.. which I'm not :blink:

I guess really, if I had to pick something other than my 32 (and outside the Nissan family), it would have to be a JZX100 Chaser.

    • I would try messing with friction modifier to see if it smooths it out.  Just keep adding more until it stops chattering or grabbing quite so much. If you haven't changed the gear oil in a long time you may as well start there too in case that has anything to do with it. You might want to also verify the initial torque is set to the lowest setting too. Requires popping out one of the CV axles first but that's not too bad. Once you're sure the preload is set to the lowest you can try adding an ounce at a time of friction modifier until it feels right to you.
    • It is possibly 55 degrees for the Nismo version. I had a look through the manual and the stocker has a breakaway torque of 2.5 to 3.5kgm. Supposedly the Nismo LSD goes down to 5kgm when worn in but it is pretty grabby even with very little throttle. Worse when cold. So I guess you have three things. 1. Shims. 2 Friction plates 3. Cams Would think shims would be the easiest but Ive no clue how many tenths of a mm shim thickness change equals how many kgm torque. Also not sure if the Nismo friction plates are similar/different to stock or if they are the most of the source of the diff being angry. Think I can write off the Nismo rebuild kit for the standard diff as not being what I want.  
    • Yeah, it was a bit of confusion with me, I rang and asked if they had a boot for a soft top, and then the paint shop when they rang and were asked if it had a hard top on it, which it does, just not a PRHT....LOL Meh, whilst frustrating for all concerned it isn't a war stopper and should be a thing of the past in a week or two In other N/A related news, car is booked in at the end of the month for the cams, springs, retainers, harmonic balancer and retune  I might even pull the lazy arse card and get them to do a full service on it whilst it is there
    • Factory LSD is supposedly a 2 way with a very conservative cam. If you've already tried adding friction modifier to the diff oil and it still locks up too much for your liking you might want to adjust the ramp rate on the cam to be more like OEM instead of reducing initial torque even further. People claim the 8 kgf-m disc kit for the OEM LSD is still very streetable but I've never been able to compare everything side by side on my own.
