Can you please get that shitty porka out of the way so we can see the real porka? Cheers

No probs, PM is on its way

Thought so, thanks

I know of one that sounds exactly like the one you're describing Linton. Check for previous crash repairs very closely Stock cars take a pounding before any trouble, dont worry about breaking it by just driving to a holiday house on the weekends

Forum sponsors would be a good place to start

Have you got a side on pic of that rx8? Wouldnt mind a better look at the wheels

Have a read in the NA section of this site for actual fuel econ figures used by members (not manufacturers claims). Personally if fuel economy is a purchasing decision in a car i would advise to not consider the skyline at all. Dont forget parts will cost more, generally labour costs more aswel, hardly any local support from manufacturer etc. Also, if your magna changes fuel econ by 700ml per hundred (9.8 to 10.5), thats only about $1 at todays petrol prices. Remember thats 91octane. Lets say an R34 has the same increase for comparison sake (as you're trying to see how much more a skyline costs), well the difference would be about $1.20. Who actually gives a sh!t for $1.20 when they get to drive a skyline instead of a magna? (not being rude, just trying to help out). On the flip side, are you getting that fuel consumption figure from the onboard computer? If so and its anything like my commodore (chances are that it is), that figure is actually false. The figure is based on when the battery was last out of the car or when the ECU/gauge was last reset. Its an average, so to make it go up by 700ml may mean the actual econ for that tank may be something like 18per/100 but the computer settles on 10.5 as it hasnt been reset in a year or two and is averaging the last 2 years of all driving. Know what i mean? Sure you tried google? I just googled "r34+gtt+spec" and on the first page of results got this; Model: R34 Nissan Skyline GTT Model Year: 1998.5 to present... Engine Name: RB25DET Engine Cooling: Water cooled, Engine Configuration: Inline 6 Cylinder, Engine Camshafts: Double Overhead Cam 24 valve, Engine Aspiration: Intercooled Turbo, Engine Valve Technology: NEO Variable Valve Cam Timing Technology Engine Bore × Stroke: 86mm × 71.7mm Engine Displacement: 2498 cc Engine Compression Ratio: 9:1 Engine Max Power 206kW (276 bhp) @ 6400rpm Engine Max Torque 343Nm (253 ft-lb) @ 3200rpm Fuel tank capacity: 65 litres Fuel type: Unleaded premium (RON 98+) Fuel consumption: 9.4 litres per 100 km Transmission: Type 5 speed manual Drive layout FR: Limited slip differential (as standard) Steering system: HICAS 4-Wheel Steering Steering type: Power Assisted Rack & Pinion Front suspension: Independent suspension multiple link system Rear suspension: Independent suspension multiple link system Front brakes: Ventilated disk Rear brakes: Ventilated disk Front tyres: 225/45ZR17 Rear tyres: 225/45ZR17 Turning circle: 10.2 m Dimensions: Exterior length 4580mm Exterior width 1725mm Exterior height 1340mm Interior length 1780mm Interior width 1400mm Interior height 1105mm Wheelbase 2665mm Front track 1480mm Rear track 1470mm Ground clearance 140mm Weight: 1410 kg I highlighted the figures you're after to compare. Remember thats the turbo specs, so the fuel econ should be even better again Using your figures and theirs for fuel econ only; 100k's in a magna costs you approx: $12 100k's in an r34 would cost you approx: $14 ....depending on the slight variance in prices from area to area. The difference is due to needing higher octane petrol than the stuff your magna runs on Moral of the story for people in the future: Do a search

Got specs on them by any chance?

lol finding an overpriced one wont be hard. How do they handle? Comparing the 2 isnt even fair to the magna. Ones derived from a racecar, ones a family shopping kart. Im sure you can figure the rest out on that topic Fuel econ? Ok, its pretty easy, if you drive like a dickhead all day with the revs high up in the RPM range and the motor loaded up all the time you'll use more petrol than shifting around 3500rpm with slight pedal pressure applied to keep up with traffic.

Fu(k, it sure is school holidays!

Couldnt have said it better myself. End thread!

Visit the RTA for the rules on this

Please do a search for that info, its been covered many, many times before

Guys i know the rear camera is a quick and easy one to do, ive seen the camera setup go into an R35 here in Aus, took about 2 hours from memory. Pretty simple job too. (I gave the bloke the key, had lunch, bludged a bit on the net, then it was done) EDIT: Looks as factory as it ever could. Most people couldnt even see the camera until I showed them where it is

Correct this is paid members only.

Buy a crappy runaround and use that instead. (Note i didnt say sell the r33, if you're in a rural area you could just store it somewhere. R33 GTST's are all losing money right now and they'll never appreciate in value anyway so just keep it and have something to look forward to when you get off your P plates)

Please use the wanted to buy section, this is the for sale section. Also, stop using the caps lock in every single post please

+1 to that

That would be awesome

^^^Love that sig pic If ONLY we had something special like a KPGC10 on the regular cruises

Yeah saw that one, funny how the ricer at the dealership has him infront of a civic trying to get him to buy that and he doesnt even look at it - just goes straight to the R34

Even if you go for 1000cc injectors, the fuel pump will be the bottleneck. To not run a surge tank in the boot there are a couple of options; -Put the surge tank somewhere else -Run the second pump intank (this is a bit of fu(king around though)

Yeah only in movies are skylines built from scratch to a tuned monster (including running in new motor) in 24hours lol

Yeah you're right, got a thing for good looking rims Here's another nice one to add to the discussion, unsure if they're available in 20's yet as this may be a photoshop; If BBS RGT's come in 20's that will be my rim of choice for R35 once i step up from R32.
