Yeah and us 4 door owners stick together.  You just try and divide us!

http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=33334

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 have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
    • Hey lads, reviving an old thread.  As an update, since the last time replied to this thread, ive done mostly suspension. Havent touched the motor except for maintenance. Though upon changing spark plugs, found out i had splitfires pre-installed! Updates: - Got me some stock airbox top cover and snorkel to fit onto the original intake. Should be free of defects - Bought a set of R34 GT-T brakes (not installed yet, going to rebuild + respray in champion blue + white 'Nissan' text) - Bought the last set of bilsteins from @Sydneykid and had them installed. Has been making some sounds on the rear but hopefully should be sorted out after this New Year break. - Regreased front caster rod bushings (poly bushes..) - Rear upper camber arms - Whiteline sway bars (BNF27Z 22mm + BNR11XXZ 24mm).  The rear sway bars are a bit short (ive read 50mm else where) but was still able to get them in.  Anyhows, I reckon suspension is sorted now. Maybe replace bushes (do have a set of front upper control arms from SK not installed yet) but should be okay for now. From now, I'm wanting to start working on the motor, drivetrain etc etc. Still debating on the order to go on and what to buy etc but: - ECU ( Haltech or Link ( Link states that it dont support A/T or AWD functions... Can anyone attest to this? ) - Highflow turbo ( ATR43ss2 ) - Intercooler ( Not decided yet, but cant find many good afoordable ones. Toshi says to opt for crossflow Japanese. Bit difficult this one, unless I get a returnflow Blitz from JJ? ) - Injectors ( Any recommendations ? I do have a nismo FPR ( Thanks SK ) ) - Seats - Tune by either Toshi or DVS To be fair, I did consider just keeping the stock turbo and nistuning it. Sat in a mates stock N, that had something like 200kw, and I reckon that felt more than enough. Maybe I should just go this route ahhaha. Too many choices.... Planning a trip down south, so wanting to just clean things up and make sure it gets to and from in one piece. Anything else specifically I should do before ? Cheers lads  
    • Must be for the car’s lucky charm 🤷🏽‍♂️ She runs fine, but it just seems to take about 1L less. Maybe I’ll have the oil sump dropped at some point to check if there is anything
