as a matter of fact, R32s have become a new generation of posing cars coz somehow everyone thinks a R32 goes faster than a R33. and thats y they are so popular nowadays.

Skylines in general can serve as posing cars. I mean, there are people who don't want performance at all, there are a few non turbo models with very nice bodykits, rims, interiors etc.

For some reason, Skylines at the moment have more "street cred" than any other car....or as some people describe it, the wank factor. lol

Meh.

What can you do.

I bought my car for various reasons, it isn't a ford or holden, it has potential for much higher power with minor mods, it looks good (to me) and is a well built, reliable car. The same can be said about other imports but I'm extreemly happy with mine.

so when you think about a nice 32 gtr is around about 25-27. if you want something that is atleast decnet.

33's are pretty cheep in this respect.

Hmm 22-25k you could get something decent i reckon.

More than 26k onwards i'd expect a pretty immaculate 32 in all aspects.

Depends on your luck.

yeah they do have a massive "street cred" only because in 2f2f the skyline won and not the supra!!! also alot of people mistake a gts-t for a gtr... i think gtr is what makes the street cred. and word skyline gives the rest of the street cred to the gts-ts

but all and all... every single car theres alot out there!.. well most.. for example i see alot of stock commadores... and i dont give a second look coz it aint a poser or a "racer" etc etc... same with skylines... see alot of stock r33's and i dont give a second look.... but if its got mods... you look coz u know the person likes to mod... so whats under the hood???

or whats up in the hood...

    • Yeah, it's getting like that, my daughter is coming over on Thursday to help me remove the bonnet so I can install the Carbuilders underbonnet stuff,  I might get her to give me a hand and remove the hardtop, maybe, because on really hot days the detachable hardtop helps the aircon keep the interior cool, the heat just punches straight through to rag top I also don't have enough hair for the "wind in the hair" experience, so there is that....LOL
    • Could be falling edge/rising edge is set wrong. Are you getting sync errors?
    • On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.
    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
