32gtr......

Look i love skylines, i breathe them...

But fk me man, they don't come close to the refinement of a RS4.

Ye i could spend 100k on a GTR and have it taking me into orbit... I'd still have a RS4 given the chance.

Agreed.

You could spend half a million dollars on an R32 GTR and have one of the quickest cars on the planet, yet at the end of the day an Audi R8, E92 M3 etc are still going to be the better cars. It aint just about being the fastest in a straight line or having the quickest possible time around a track, there is a hell of a lot more to top end cars than that.

Who says most Ferrari owners don't come off as stuck up tossers, no idea what they are on about.

Another reason to buy a Euro over Jap, No one can beat them in passenger safety.

Awesome thing to say in a thread about some one dying in a Jap car.

sticks and stones mate

Similar dilema to myself when I sold my 34 gtr...what did I get...E46 M3.

335 is nice but just isn't an M3. RS4 has changed shape a few times now and looks a bit 'normal'. TT is just too small in the back seat. 996 is an enthusiast car but the missus hated it.

I sold the M3 now and guess what I am thinking of.....guesses...no....2001 34 GTR V spec 2...back to the darkside.

Why...well your list scares me to touch...the GTR has this marvellous site to help with parts and issues cheaper.

Personally I wouldn't buy Euro, I work on the stuff everyday and it makes me laugh how people pay ludicrous amounts for basically very poorly made crap.

That aside :down: i would get the Porsche, only one out of the lot I would even consider.

According to a Cars Guide (DTM) Motoring Editor...

"Regardless of whether you are male or female, you'll spend 10% of your time selecting a car (by design as much as performance/comfort) of your choice; and then 90% of your time to justify it! :(

Your thoughts?

totally agree...

and i just dont get the fezza thing... the italians aren't any better at making cars than anyone else, they are just better at telling people they are the best... just like their boring ass cuisine

i dont hate all expensie cars.... I would definately splash the cash for a GT3 rs :(

Your thoughts?

Id say i spend about 2 % selecting it, 50% thinking about modding it 10% actually modding it, 30% fixing it 8% jerking off over it..

Lifes to short for justification.... :)

I think as you get older you appreciate things more and hence I'd live a ferrari but I'm still a kid at heart so GTR is simple fun.

Don't forget insurance if you are the wrong age.

Ever consider something like an STI liberty or an Alfa GT with your range anyway.

Well basically it looks as if I'm being rat-f**ked into the getting the TTS *awaits tidle wave of laughter* yes you guessed it, it has come down to "what car looks better" to the Mrs.

Currently she says

BMW E46 M3 "Looks dated, interior sucks"

BMW E92 335i "Likes a lot, but looks like an old mans car from the back"

Audi B7 RS4 "Old mans car, has four doors, wtf are you thinking"

Audi 8J TTS "Fantastic LOOKING car, wow I love these (even though your face is screwed up when you mention lack of performance"

Porsche 996 Carrera "I like them, not fussed either way"

I even threw the SLK 350 AMG into the mix today as we parked next to one......she said "What the hell is that, it's tiny"

I've tried saying we can get her a nice cheaper TT that's not Quattro (to apease the 'looks' issue) and me getting something more on the awesome side...but it's being vetoed hard at the moment.

I've suggested we just do the rounds of the showrooms and go for some test drives and see what we can agree on.

She's not a massive fan of my car that's for sure, I got an ear bashing today because of it's noticeable performance increase since she got in it last week, bloody human dyno I tell ya!!!!

    • Good morning all, Bit of a random question but figured I’d finally throw it out after wondering for a long while. Before I start, I'm hoping to do this purely out of personal preference. I think it would look better at night, and don't mind at all spending a few hours and dollars to get it done. I've copied this from a non-Skyline specific forum, so I apologize for the explanation of our headlight switch setup that we all know. Here we go: Zero lights (switch off) Parking lights (switch position 1) being a rectangular marker on the outside of the housing, my low beam being the projector in the centre (position 2), and a high beam triggered by my turn signal stalk. Most North American cars I’ve owned of this era have power to the amber corner (turning indicator) light as part of the first switch (parking lights). I’d love to have these amber corners receive power when the headlights and parking lights are on (headlight switch), yet still blink when using the turn signal which is of course a separate switch. Hopefully I’ve explained my question correctly. Is anyone aware of a way in which I might be able to achieve this? Thanks in advance
    • My heads are cathedral port! It's likely possible, but I don't want to add any extra moving parts (I know they don't move) between the heads, manifolds, etc. It will also affect how injectors/fuel rails etc sit and I don't really know if it would change how the FAST manifold goes/sits/fits. I have the LS6 steam pipes already as I have a very late LS1 block so it should be fine. I couldn't find anyone who had ever actually used one for this purpose, it seems 100% of people grind the water pump. The thermal spacers are 12mm and are half way to the cost of the newer water pump anyhow... so if it comes to that I suppose I'd rather buy a new pump. The bearing in the pump I do have is a little.. clunky, but it hasn't done that much time and I never noticed it when the car was together in the past few years, so..
    • The bushing has failed, not all that uncommon for a car of this age.  Any mechanic should be able to push in a new bushing for you, or you can probably buy the entire lower control arm, complete with bushes.
    • Could you not use "thermal" spacers to give the clearance, like the ones I used between the blower and head? That raised the manifold height by around 10-15mm Albeit the ones I used were for cathedral ports, but I assume they have similar for rectangular ports????
    • Thanks Paul I reached out to Autotainment but they no longer work on JDM cars as the guy who used to do the work moved on and is no longer doing that kind of work. I am talking with Level Up Audio though.
