OK I've had this weird thought that I should buy a VT/VX SS Commodore GenIII 6 speed. The reasons are I want something that I can tow a boat with next year when I buy one and something a little larger in size so I can seat more people.

I currently own an R33 GTST that I have had NO problems with at all. The only thing is the car will be 10 years old next year and as all cars this old it is showing its age.

Feel free to swing my decision away from the SS but keep in mind I want something NEW not pre 1997. Yes I could buy a 1991 R32 GTR :sly: but these cars are far too old. The engine will be tired and so will be the paint.

So basically I want something around the $25-28k, NEW, powerfull, towing capabilities and reliable.

HELP

Autech Stagea 260RS - no further discussion required :rolleyes:

fun for the WHOLE family! :)

Maybe not Autech, but possibly a Stagea.

oh and ur looking at figures of about 30% of GenIII's with mechanical problems, major problems.

Where are these statistics from?

10% of people know statistics 50% of statistics are made up on the spot :rolleyes:

Honestly, I don't think a VTii/VX SS is a bad idea.

for about $25-28k u can find yourself (well i have seen advertised) a nice R34 Gtt (stock Form) going for about 28-29K the year is a 98 model so its not that old if your worried about it depends what u want to use it for. For that price you have to have a decent look around but these are the prices they are starting to go for.

Id love an Autech Stagea too, its a pitty that they sell for more than R34 GTRs hey? If only i had a spare 100k lying around.

Im pretty sure there is only 1 Autech Stagea in Australia, the one that was in HPI a while back.

    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
    • Yes, a plan for non-action is always my first sort of plan! I'm happy to see what falls out of invision's update. I had been having some thoughts on what to do with this the other day and they all seem to have fled my memory, after various solar panel induced traumas, squeaking suspension sphericals, etc etc, over the last little bit. I'll try and recall what I had in mind and make sure that I put it into print in some form before the Alzheimer's strikes again.
    • The ability to have both a 5500 stall for launching, and a regular lockup for every other scenario is pretty sweet. Does it actually work well like that though in the real world? Would it hold up to track use and otherwise you'd never know you had a stall converter in it? If so, that's awesome
