BASHO

Frak thats a nice looking car.

Thanks for that, I'm going to see a 95 one tomorrow that has all the afformentioned bits and a "larger" turbo I was speaking the owners father who didn't know what turbo the 'bigger' actualy was, he also informed me he had taken the car of his P plate liscenced son as, and I quote, "He kept getting stopped by the police" --fill in the blanks on that one if you want. This is going to be interesting I'm thinking

You have a PM

Hey mate no worries I'm just a grumpy ole fart . It's all good that they are basic I'm a bit over complex at the moment and a seat of the pantsa will be good. Timing belt renewal 100000km's 4years ?-or is it a chain ?--no one advertising the 180s FS mentions timing belts-----atall. A lot of the 180s I've seen advertised have front mounts and pods but don't seem to have any engine management mods listed I'm a bit sus that those mods done on there own add an iota of benefit to the vehicles--any comment ?? I'm basicly thinking of the benefits of a smaller sized car as well when I'm thinking of the 180sx .

With a sight more respect to you than you're showing me here I have no frakin idea why you think my budget is $5k , its up to $13K folding and I have a platinum $10k credit line to draw on if I need more , I have already written that I am just not familiar with these cars attall and am relying on Rebook to give me some idea of what I should be paying which I might add seems largely to be more than people are asking for these cars, hence my puzzlement as the general private ask is usualy more than the Redbook listing price , and the members of SAU to give me a heads up generaly as many people who have Skylines have also a good knowledge of other Nissan Marques. Thank you though for the info you have posted , it all helps.

Thanks for that, I'm puzzled about prices there seem to be two quite radicaly different price ranges in the same year for some years of the 180SX (Redbook) and I'm stuffed if I can see why , I'm sure that it's a model in the year thing thing I just can't differentiate them. I'm presuming it's like the Skyline GT/ GT-t/ GTR , thingo , got any pointers on models you could give me before I go and throw 5 grand to much at some smarty

Thanks mate very helpfull , main reason for the at downsizing is simply overall running cost but I don't want to do what I have done before which is downsize and be pissed of within 3 months (or sooner) and have to upsize again to scratch the itch. About the 180 with the 25-- If it's no trouble --please ask I'd sure be interested in knowing more. Bye the bye-is an S15 a 180SX ? I'm not familiar with any of this range of cars and am quite confused.

I'm de-vehicled at the moment having stupidly decided to sell my R34GT-t a couple of months ago and buy a slimescheiser BMW which I've given the flick . I'm thinking of buying an R33 or 180SX (lower running cost) I know a bit about R33s but I know stuff all about 180SXs, could anybody tell me what the best models to look for are and if there are any to steer clear of ? -or anthing else that may be helpfull ? Any help would be much appreciated. Just as a note: I've also considered a WRX because I've previously owned two of them but doubt thats going to happen until rex owners stop lying about what great condition the vehicle they're selling is in (crap) and realise the fact that they got robbed when they bought them in the first place dosen't mean they can then rob me when they come to sell.

Thanks for the replies, I'm still undecided about what car to get next . On one hand I'm wanting to get another Skyline but an R33, on the other a WRX because I've had two of them before and they're fun and I know the car well. However--I'm finding that the current crop of WRX owners appear to be congenital liars as of the three I've seen so far all described as ruly ruly good, had majour inescapable faults, 1x timing belt so bad it was flinging into the cover 2x dodgy clutches 2x stupidly wrong BOVs, paint described as good , made me wonder what he thought bad is, and on and on. Normaly this kind of shit doesn't bother me but when I'm putting in 4 hour round trips to see this crap I get pissed. the only thing, appart from shit rides, that was consistant was the ask was way to high, these people have more price ego than Big Donald Trump , frakin unbelievable. So after reading how good the blacktop 4 banger in the 180SX is I thought I'd have a look at them however I know nothing about them so I'm going to post on here for a bit of advice as I can't make head nor tail of the Sylvia site.

Aaaaarrgh thanks , bit to far for me to travel

I'm interested , could you post up a pic of the engine bay ?--where is the car ?

As some would know I flogged my R34GTT a couple of months ago in a moment of friggen idiocy and bought a BMW slimescheiser 318is , that little kraut wagon has had the A and I'm now looking for a new ride and am leaning towards a 180sx but I can't seem to find a Aus forum for them, can anyone help me out and post a link ? I'm sure there must be one. I actualy know nothing about them so if anyone wants to throw me a few tips as well it would be much appreciated. By the way is there any Skyline model that is a 4 cylinder turbo ?

ONLY 300 BUCKS , INCLUDING FREIGHT , BARGAIN !

Hi Ho Paul, I bought this on the back of a group RDA & EBC pads rotors buy on here about 9 months ago, it's a new standard replacement pressure plate with new thrust bearing and a new Exedy organic clutch plate . Here is the link to the group buy- http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Rd...html&st=420 -this should take you to the page where my payment is acknowledged theres about 20 pages in the topic I'm in a few of threm. The part No is above perhaps if you phone RDA and quote it they can give you more info. I've sold the R34GT-t and don't need it--I'm driving a Beemer now, not sure it was a good move , it's hard to adjust when there's no ummph here we go at 3000. Cheers, Al.
