I have a feeling the neo engines are better then the old non neo ones ie from a r32, 33 cos well my car has 206 kilowatts stock (flywheel) and about 330 nm, and a stock r33 has 178 or so series 2 (series 1 had less) and 280 or so nm of torque. So what are you smoking?

for insurance it really depends, i heard someone insure their s15 at under $1000 per year

hey dude, still selling ur car? seriously i dunno why but u seem like a car enthusiast yet u say ur car is collecting garage dust? how could that be???

still selling, but looks like it will go VERY soon.

it's my weekend car, but me & my gf plan to buy a house in near future, both of us are now working part time during weekend

i try to drive it as much as i can, but only able to add 3000km to the clock from feb till now ;)

not worth to keep it

fair enough but you will not be able to even buy a flat if your just working partime.

a house is a big investment, need to sacrifice a lot.

The Skyline is definitely cheaper to insure than the s15.

There is no definate on this IMHO. It all depends on age, driver rating/history, insurer and obviously mods to the car...a lot of factors affect insurance premiums...from my experiences...premiums drop a lot when you hit 30 :P providing u had a clean driving history...full comp on my 99 GTT is $950 with justcars...

In my experience the import has always been cheaper than it's locally delivered alternatives. My R33 is $1.5k cheaper to insurance than a S14A would have been (hence the decision to go the R33)

Both are great cars and are hard to compare running costs as it depends on your driving style and condition of the car you purchase.

    • I think my main complaint with your idea is that there is a veneer of idealism spread across it. You want the simple numbers to make it easier, but all they will do is make it easier for someone to come to the wrong conclusion because the fine details will kick them in the nuts. As it is right now, the tiny bit of arithmetic is NOT the obstacle to understanding what will fit and what will not fit. The reality of trying it is what determines whether it will fit. If you had a "standard rule" that R34 GTT guards have that magic 100mm space from the hub face to whichever side you were worried about, and someone said "excellent, this wheel is only 98mm in that direction, I'll just go spend $4k on them and jam them on my sick ride".....they would just as likely find out that the "standard rule" is not true because the rear subframe is offset to one side by a fairly typical (but variable) 8mm on their car and they only have 92mm on one side and 108 on the other.
    • It still combines inches with mm, especially when you have .5 inches involved, and mm and inches that can go in either direction. This would give a clear idea on both sides of the rim, right away, with no arithmetic. Even better if somebody gives you the dimensions of the arch of multiple cars. i.e GTR may be 125mm, a A80 Supra may be 117mm, or something along those lines. Yes, you can 'know' that going from a 10in rim to a 10.5in rim with the same offset moves both sides about 6mm, but you still have to 'know' that and do the math. Often it's combined. People are going from 9.5 +27 to 10.5 +15. You may do the math to know it, but if it was going from (I had to go look it up to be sure) 241mm/2 - 27 - 93.5mm from the center line to (more math) 266/2 - 15 (118mm) from the center line. Versus 93mm vs 118mm. It's right there. If you know you have a GTT with 100mm guards you can see right away that one is close to flush and the other absolutely won't work. And when someone says "Oh the GTR is 120mm" suddenly you see that the 10.5 +15 is about perfect. (or you go and buy rims with approximately 118mm outward guard space) I think it's safe to say that given one of the most common questions in all modified cars is "How do offsets work" and "How do I know if wheels will fit on my car" that this would be much simpler... Of course, nothing will really change and nobody is going to remanufacture wheels and ditch inches and offset based on this conversation :p We'll all go "18x9+30 will line up pretty close to the guards for a R34 GTT (84mm)" but 'pretty close' is still not really defined (it is now!) and if you really care you still have go measure. Yes it depends on camber and height and dynamic movement, but so do all wheels no matter what you measure it for.
    • But offsets are simple numbers. 8" wheel? Call it 200mm, near enough. +35 offset? OK, so that means the hub face is that far out from the wheel centreline. Which is 2s of mental arithmetic to get to 65mm to outer edge and 135mm to inner. It's hardly any more effort for any other wheel width or offset. As I said, I just close my eyes and can see a picture of the wheel when given the width and offset. That wouldn't help me trust that a marginal fitment would actually go in and clear everything, any more than the supposedly simple numbers you're talking about. I dunno. Maybe I just automatically do numbers.
    • Sure! But you at least have simple numbers instead of 8.5 inches +/mm, relative to your current rims you do maths with as well, and/or compare with OEM diameter, which you also need to know/research/confirm..
