Should I Sell My Skyline And Buy A Rotar?

[knore]

Anyone can build a 10sec rotar tho, ide have 2 for the price of my 33 plus what ive spent on it. But the 33 is such a nicer, more refined and greater satisfaction car.

been in a few bwap bwaps, and yeah they are fast, but mega unsafe and shaky lawn mower sounding machines

have had 2 mates RIP from ridiculously built rotars

spose if you had the 10sec rotar and then your daily driver in the garage it would be cool

How about some roller skates with jet engines on them?

You'd need dem rocket skates like on Jackass. :lol:

If you are looking at getting an FD3S RX7, I say go for it. Any other rotary then no. If you get an FD you can be like Vin Deisel in Fast and the Furious. And everyone loves that movie. Get some neons and some ICE and run 9's. (Sorry, it's very late and my brain has turned into goo...)

Actually, an FD would be sweet, but anything older and your Skyline will out handle it. So my vote is FD. Otherwise, keep the skyline.

R33 with a 13b T wouldnt be too bad lol

Go one better and get a Quad Rotor RX7! Quad Rotor Video

[krzysiu]

Wouldnt a 20b make it equivalent to a 4Litre Piston Engine? That would burn a shitload of petrol lol

[Dahtone Racing]

more power + more fuel

id love to put a 20B in my car but its just doesnt seem right

i know that the first time i had a drag with a rotor i lost all faith in my S14A that i had at the time.

it was a capella/rx2 covered in primer with a cannon zorst and 155 cheese cutter wheels.... my car was kinda mild (fmic, 3" & 1bar) and from a 80kph roll on it was as if i had jumped on the brakes... he was about 50m ahead of me in what seemed like 2-3 seconds

i then wanted to sell the 200 and put a 13BT into a KE55 corolla... pity that never eventuated

since then ive had a passion for shitbox sleepers

nothing hurts more than being burnt by a shitbox hahaha

I know it hurts most people to be burned by a wagon!

But in answer to your topic, I'd say YES, sell and get a rotor. My best mate has a series 5 RX7 and god damn that things hammers. N/A with a mild street port, he has nearly 200kw's at the wheels!

Stick with the skyline dude

[HCR32]

Hi, Ive just got this question that i would like to know what peolpe think.

Over the last few weeks ive been pouring ALOT of money into my skyline r33.

And its still SLOW. My mate has a Sik Mazda Rx3 rotary. It is SOOOO fast and i just cant help but feel so sad when i drive my little skyline

Its the best rotar and its 10 times as quick a smy skyline for 10 times as less money spent.

So im thinking of selling my skyline and buying a rotary powered car.

CHeers Rodney.

haha this is funny

let me start you off buy saying go the for rotaryyyyyyyyyyyy!!

you are exactly in the same shoes i was in few months back...but not because my skyline is slow but i just wanted a rx3 sedan

resolution: I kept my R32 skyline and bought a mazda rx808 sedan (rx3 copy)

im still in the process of building and finishing the rx.

mate you cant go past a rotary...its in its own league when your driving it on the road.

ps gives girls orgasms by just sitting in the passenger seat and having the machine idle BRAP BRAP BRAP BRAP

And just to add another thing that really gets to us rotor folks...

Rotaries are just as reliable as skylines, they just need more looking after when it comes to maintenance but apart from that there sweet.

Theres none of this..."drive it 3 times broooo then the motor needs a rebuild"... what the hell is that nonsense. If its properly set up and tuned then you wont have any problems.

drive the rotary all the time to red line and ofcourse it will need a rebuild.

drive any car all the time to redline and that too will need a rebuild or new motor!

the beauty of the rotor is that import motors are cheap as, about $750 for a S4 13BT which you can make some pretty big power from without even opening it (250-300rwkw isnt impossible, and thats easy 10s in such a light car)

BUT, as far as i know there are bugger all good import motors comming in any more, all of them need a rebuild... which is gonna be a few bucks like with any motor, but once thats done its done B)

If you are thinking about it, then go the rotary.

Enjoy!

Its like trading a 1970's Lawnmower you found under your house, for a 90's model that has the features of one built today.

After knowing alot of people who have owned (and now dont own) rotaries, you'd be a fool to give up a refined skyline for some POS rustbucket dinosaur

not much between a S4/S5 rx7 and a skyline tho, cept maybe a backseat LOL

[mad34]

I would rather push a skyline than drive a rotar.

hehehe

I can understand wanting to sell the line to get a series 8 rx 7, but a rx3 common man get serious

i have VC V8 valiant and yeh sure old cars are kinda cool, but compared to the comfort and smoooth delivery of power nothing compares to new cars
