lol @ buying a skyline as a daily. there's much newer, better cars that will be more reliable than the blast from the 90's.

Off it's tits modded Skyline for the weekend, modern car with luxuries and less headaches for the weekday.

Until you drive a post 2000 designed and built (that doesn't include R34) euro or japanese car over a week you won't realise how much stuff you're missing out on cos you're holding onto 90's tech.

Shit like being able to program the car to lock its doors and wind the windows up if your transponder goes out of range. Or even bluetooth connectivity to your Android or iPhone. Or remembering seat and mirror positions for two people based on which key unlocks it as standard. Auto dipping headlights. Xenons as standard. etc etc.

So my AU is pretty much f**ked! I'm hoping it can last until the new year.

Been thinking about Mazda 3 SP23's. CBF with another import, and want something that's not super boring.

MPS?

are you serious? when we had a cement truck decide to go straight through a stop sign we hit him at about 90km/h and if we didnt have those airbags my dad and little brother wouldn't be here today so id prefer to have a car with airbags than none because anything can happen when your driving.

yeah airbags ftw

lol comparing 90's cars to todays cars absolutely no comparison apart from they all have 4 wheels i spose id take a modern car over old one anyday unfortunately a modern equivalent of my r33 is to much for my thrasher budget plus i wouldnt wana trash an expensive car lol

yes you can compare em. there are 70s mercs that have more tech features than alot of cars of today.

what do you need all the tech for anyway isnt that why you have a house? unless you sleep in your car...

wouldnt mind an M5 for daily and an M3 csl for weekends/track :P

but i gots no paper yo

pfft man its all about the featurs

elec everything, auto headlights, auto wipers, active hid headlights, sensors,reverse camera,sat nav, seat warmers, startbutton, keyless entry and on and on i wouldnt consider another car that didnt have all that + more

dont need an s class, my lexus has that, most bmws/audis/merc will offer that these days some are options but still pretty common.

dunno why ford/holden are still stuck in teh 90s with the crap they are offering up to the local market its a joke really.

all those features alex n i listed are available on a Citroen C4 for like 15000. it's not like 2005 where the only way to get features on the cheap was to import.

opinions on 335i? id love a c63 amg but have no hope getting one of those any time soon.

fkn weapon awesome value there is a 335i e93 (hardtop convetible) for 77k with 26ks on it in bendigo premium selection bmw i was looking at in but meh.. dont really wana tip 20k out of my pocket to upgrade

    • Got the motor out and torn down. I'll be dropping off the block Monday. Luckily the scoring on Cyl6 is much less pronounced then the pictures made it out to seem. It can barely be felt. If you pass your finger over it 10x you'll barely notice it. Hopefully by some chance it will only require a honing. I'm not in the mood to buy one size larger pistons or another block. Oddly enough my 6th cylinder with the scoring has extremely clean intake valves compared to my other 5 cylinders. I'm worried the scoring was caused by too much fuel or Water/Methanol washing the cylinder. I'll review some old logs to confirm.  This was also the first time I pull an engine with the transmission still attached. It went much better then expected. I was worried my CD009 wouldn't make it easy due to its sheer size but it was much easier this way. 
    • From the pictures I have when doing the job the flywheel is the same diameter, I don't think they're playing weird tricks like putting weights at the outer diameter to increase flywheel inertia or anything like that. The OEM flywheel is definitely heavier, but it's not a huge difference. Quoted weight savings of the clutch is 2 kg so I can't imagine the flywheel being lighter than ~7 kg. Kind of regret not weighing it before the clutch went into the car but as far as driveability goes I have no complaints.
    • HKS trigger kit should be very easy to integrate with a Link. It's a 36-2 crank trigger. Hard part is finding the motivation to take off the timing belt and everything on the front of the engine to install it. You also need to cut out a hole in the oil pump housing so the sensor can read the trigger wheel. Changing out the cam sensor for a 24 tooth setup is probably good enough but as others have mentioned depending on what underlying assumptions are changed it becomes more of a problem. Reading the crank state off of the cam is an abstraction that works in the general case, but if you have an edge case it makes less and less sense. There is a GTX2860 gen 2 that can take a compact 5 bolt housing so it's direct bolt on but I'm not 100% sure of what's involved. Peak compressor efficiency drops off a bit on these turbos vs -5s, 77% vs 73% but you get way, way wider region of operation. The -5s have a really strange surge line in their compressor map that is all over the place. If you think the hot side on the -5s aren't open enough you can try the Tomei T550B turbos which a local tuner seems to be happy with:
