Yeh I'm considering 6 or 7.. Hopefully this guy buys my car

VII.9 :yes:

The VII is a bit unloved, as the body styling is plain when compared to the VI and VIII.

VII are cheap, why would you bother with a VI with flogged bushes and gearbox.

Anthony, I've just noticed you changed wing caps to GTR one, it was on my list when I had one never gotten around to buying it.

Now, there's a pair of these on eBay and I'm watching it... My mum thinks I'm crazy.

Fair point. Apparently the VII have weaker rods though, although I prefer the VII To the other girly ones. Not gonna do much if I get one though so come at me weak rods

the TME still goes for like 18-20k though..

cant justify spending that much on car that was built in 98/99..

no doubt TME is the best out of the lot, but f**k, i already have a 98.. i would like something a little newer.

ahah yeah i bought them from nur33 when he parted out his r33, still have the nismo ones here though, they are faded but hard to find anywhere now which makes me want to use them again lol

it has carbon wing blade also since there was some paint fade on the standard one and also got the patch where there was like 20cent peice size of paint flaked resprayed - as soon as i give it a wash and manage to get it out of my driveway again ill throw up some more pics of where its at - done a fair bit to it as of late.

TME fastest, BUT hardest to deal with on a daily basis unless your going to track it.

7 best value for money, re age/comfort.

8 would/could be what I'm looking for.

yeh im considering just putting cash aside for a little while and getting into an 8MR . that would be good.

    • 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:
