If R34's were eligble thats what I would get no questions about it. Maybe I should wait the 2 months and see if anybody has plates. but with my info i think it will be close to 6 months before anybody has plates

Not picking a fight but name me a 6cyl, locally delivered sedan available for under $20K with as much street cred and performance potential as a Skyline...

 

4 Doors go faster!! :O

what about a maxima for like 20-23k? it's got a decent motor, locally delivered which will improve resale, you can get like a 98-2001 model, it's just as luxurious on the inside and you get log books! or a magna

* edit: and you'll actually be able to insure it for a reasonable price (half the price with a *big* company which has pretty much anything goes policies)

Fair call... And it's still a Nissan... :O But not really performance oriented being FWD and pimped up inside...

Magna... Strong car but no thanks... Just another plebmobile to me...

Neither car has as much potential as a Skyline...

Insurance on my Skyline is not a problem as I'm 27, Rating 1... Might be a hassle for the younguns though...

E55? Hell yeah! Way out of my price range though...

Go the 4 door

I found that insurance is cheaper

they are not as common

dont draw as much unwanted attention from the boys in blue.

more fun when you pull up at the lights as others dont always recognise it as a skyline - untill they see my tail lights :-)

I dont mind an auto, (though there are manuals out there or you could convert one) as IMHO a turbo and auto combination is quicker for mild street level upgrades.

2.5L turbo, 4wd, 4ws, Stegea's are not that expensive.

I think you may have been getting confused with the very limited Autech (sp?) GTR equiped models.

Just consider that the 4wd will rob some power from the motor. But with a few mods you can make these thing boogy :).

Personally i would love to get one of these and transfer all my mods over from my coupe. Simply because it is more unique and has the 4wd.

Nothing like a RB25/30 combo with ported heads and a 500-600hp roller-bearing turbo, to compensate for the lack of the RB26DETT engine, that comes with the AUTECH version :).

:P

I love my 4 door, they are just as much fun as the 2 doors but more practical. I decided to get one after I had my silvia for a year and 2 doors just pissed me off.

      I like it when the counter chick leads you out the back into the racks and says "have a grub around in here and see if you can find what you need. I'll be back in a few minutes. Just left me in front of a massive motorised shelving system and 2-3 million fasteners, so I could find a peculiar SS shoulder bolt with cap head. Gotta love country towns.

      I used this https://osgiken.com.au/product/os-giken-os-250r-lsd-gear-oil-80w250-1-litre/   shut my nismo 1.5 pro up by heaps…. Not silent though. Gives the car character and personality. It ain’t a carolla. If you want silent, put a quaife in it.

      It's about the same time for me from Bunnings, or the Fasteners. My big push away from takeaway food, and gluten in general keeps me away from the Bunnings Snags too! Weather up here, I've been out for two walks today in the beautiful sunshine. Had a few little drizzles, and some wind, that honestly, a tin of beans and I could compete on how harsh she blows Thankfully, being this bit inland, we're not getting anything much really. Will probably pick up a bit more when/if Cyclone Alfie decides to come ashore. A few areas in the GC though, and south into NSW are really getting smashed though! Right now, I'm just annoyed Alfie hasn't hit, as I'm not allowed to crack into the BBQ foods like the bacon and eggs until the Cyclone hits "In case we lose power"...

      I love fastener joints, the price difference between them and joints like Bunnings or Super Cheap is amazing, and they either have exactly what you want, or they can get it to quick They have even given me some for free when I only needed a couple of specific size In saying this, I have paid premium for fasteners from Bunnings if they have the sizes I need, but only for convenience really, as my local is only 10 minutes away, the Sushi joint near them is also a consideration  How's the weather Matt? Stay safe mate

      R32 update from 1990's spec.

      Wideband is worth setting up if only for tuning purposes. I would not mess with the ignition system unless there's a misfire. HKS crank trigger is popular out here for the relatively easily sourced Denso crank sensor, not a bad idea to install as well regardless of power level on a standalone. Boost leak test is worth thinking about. Oil pressure sensor tied to a fuel cut isn't a bad idea either. Getting the tune figured out is a good idea. Without putting eyes on it and getting under it there's no way for us to tell you exactly what it needs but most likely you're down to the last 10% that will make a big, big difference in how happy you are with the car.
