sif buy a jeep.... dont' you have youtube? those things'll kill ya :P

lol thought that was just new ones...

Jeeps are rated well for off road capability, interiors are a bit cheap like sitting in a plastic bucket

not too fussed about interior quality/luxuries

How reliable are older jeeps? Say early 90s

Obviously they're no toyota landcruisers but how do they compare? Also, old cherokees ever come in manual?

Xoxo <3

Which model specifically and for what use? A girl I knew, who practically stalled everytime she moved off the line (dat cringe when 300rpm launch), managed to get her daily driver Wrangler to 250,000km before it developed engine rattles.

???

Just laughing at the fact that they actually have to cut the bonnet, to make it function.

Or people just buy the bonnet bulge for looks.

ignore him... he's just that asian kid from "From Dusk Till Dawn" trying to get another 15 miutes

LOL! Fucking this guy.

well clearly you are going to have to cut the bonnet for a vent to work lol

Was more so pointing out the fact that the stock bonnet has to be modified to make it function...

Where as you buy a JDM car, like an EVO, there is already a functioning vent.

Or remake a whole entire bonnet, like the Nismo Z-Tune bonnet, for example.

What's the point in the bulge though?

The bulge goes back to the oldschool SS's where the engine didn't actually FIT in the engine bay

Edit: It's either purely for looks (Surely the OEM bonnet wouldn't overheat the engine, so it requires a vent for cooling) , or it is to accomodate a Walkie Top mount supercharger kit or some crap like that...

Edit 2:

WALKINSHAW PERFORMANCE POWER HOOD SCOOP SWB

The Performance "Power Hood" Scoop has been designed in the heritage of the original Walkinshaw Commodore from 1988. The Hood Scoop is the perfect sports accessory for the new VE range.Very aggressive appearance.

Looks like it is mainly visual only...

I don't mind the E2 Intake Scoop though...

    • Welcome Gabriel, and thanks for saving one of the less famous cousins!
    • Wanting to avoid this if possible but kinda looking like I may not have a choice 😭
    • Ok awesome thank you. Just wanted to have them in case I can find some and need to compare part numbers!
    • All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.    
    • It is a two door. It is black and also still has the OEM wheels and stereo. Exact model would be KR_R32RGFEL_SS According to GTR-Registry.com is a 2 Door Coupe; RB20DE; 2WD no HICAS; MT.F5; (11L) Projector Headlamps and Fog Lights; (12_) Electronic Active Full Auto Air Con (Climate Control); (13-14SS) V Selection -- Which seems to be accurate description of my variant. Will try to upload a few pictures soon. The OEM wheels look like the below image. Image is taken from the goo-net-exchange website.
