real f**king cool

fags

seriously

dont go for dr30 if u want first car - unless ur a complete r30 nut

very expensive car to run/mantain

go the vl - no, actually go r31 - hey at leasts its still a skyline

(and a rb20 engine swap is not that much comparive to a r32/3/4)

ohh yeah jasons r31 is off its nut alright - pumping out 187.6rwkw with blacktop rb20 - plus its one of the best r31's i no running around

if u want a sicker r31 check out emancipators/cookie monsters /bretts r31 - 208.8rwkw with rb30 still

And your comparing apples with oranges there, get some pics of some hot VLs if u wanna compare.

i have 200 at the rears :no:

Guys I had a Vl and it was just bearble...

Dove it for 5 years though uni and until 3 months ago then

It cracked it's head

I though... First car needs to be cheap to run

Easy to insure NO! 2k first year 1.6k the next

When your at uni 2k is a lot of money!

I aslo ran it on Premiume fuel- that was a waste of money!

Sat in a R31 the other day and I now know what i was missing for thoses 5 years: quality, heaps of comnfort and no bogan!

R31 offer heaps more and won't crack their heads!

Cheeper to insure than a VL and have excellent sleeper potential

GO the R31

PS: Now I have GTR!

Have to disagree champ, the DR30 is NOT an expensive car to run/maintain...I can get anywhere from 450kms-550kms outta a 40 litre tank with mine, cheaper rego as well only being a 4 cylinder yada yada...only down side is if you stack it or something like that, parts are harder/more expensive to come buy then R31 stuff, but if you get a 2 door R31 i bet its just as hard to find stuff for them as well.....All depends on what you want outta a car really....DR30 is more of a lighter car and the R31 is more of a cruise car...my thoughts anyways...

Just to clear all this up, Boosted posted this for his bogan-spec 'DROP 2ND DO A BURNOOOOUUUTTTT' friend.. Who had decided to go for a VL ( Surprised ? I ain't. ) .. Boosted also meant an R31, not a DR30 cause he doesn't know the frikkin difference.

Oh and he was too Lazy to tell people he meant R31, but instead - say he won't buy a Barina..

So yah.. And _8005TED_, stop tugging yourself. You know I am teh loyal 4dr <3.. Thats why I'm buying one. :)

I don't get it ? You posted crappest looking VLs you could find too ? Oh no wait, they all look crap.

Thats a sign of pure jealously :teehee:

Also with those R31 pics, why are they all Jap spec ones? arent the Aussie ones good enough?

Atleast I posted up cars that are from Australia.

lol I love how the guy posted up the VLs and R31s, found the nicest 31s he could find and the crappest looking VLs he could find (Excluding the Walky). :rolleyes:

Heres some "Real" VLs.

BTW the bottom one is in my shed. :D

what? the VLs you posted are the same, paint jobs and chromies, how are they ones i posted crappy?

well i posted 2doors because i have one, but i also have a 4door, so heres some nice 4doors..

    • This. A 3d wheel alignment is like $120...just take it to the shop. Since theres probably multiple adjustments that need to be made after changing something. Mine has front/rear lower arms, traction rods, tension rods, camber arms, toe arms, front upper arms, hicas kit, sway bars and coilovers. I measure from the edge of the bolt holes on the originals and set the same length on all the adjustable stuff to dial it as close as I could to OEM. Took it straight for alignment; it didnt feel right at all...after alignment, it feels perfect. Similarly i've just changed the springs on another car; and I still needed multiple adjustments to bring it back in spec.
    • A full Veilside kitted JZA80 Supra in Meriken park in Kobe city a few weeks back
    • Its a well known brand in New Zealand; its a rebrand of the Rhino RAV3.  I don't know what the wiring difference *is* between the rev.1 (installed about 15 years ago) and rev.2; but as you say I would think its reasonable that it uses the same immobiliser relay circuits. I had a look but couldnt see a similar harness; but didnt move things around since I didnt want to mess with it   It was one of AVS well known Authorised Installers; I spoke to AVS themselves about it but theyre unsure hence seeking advice more so from the skyline community who are more familiar with the actual car and its wiring. Im in Auckland; but the installer is on the other side of the city so hes very reluctant to come back to even look at it to confirm something isnt connected into the wrong wire.  I dont want to drop the name since they *did* do a really good job for the most part. Everything is very tidy and he fully replaced all the alarm wiring, all the sensors, the wiring to the door motors, installed a switch which was never installed in the first place...really happy with the alarm install itself..just not this one issue. We all make mistakes, if it is the alarm, I just want my fuel pump getting proper switched, fused, power as it was; without having to shell out for an auto electrician to switch a wire and tell me it was the alarm. 
    • Even with the piston at TDC there was room for it to drop, but I don't think it can drop fully into the cylinder, the problem you have is that you need something pushing against the valve to hold it up so you have enough room to put the new stem seal on and the spring etc.  I used compressed air only because putting rope in the cylinder seemed a bit risky to me, I know people have done it countless times before like this. Overall it's a pain in the ass job. Honestly you'd probably be better off taking the head off because the risk of dropping something in the engine and the finicky-ness of it all is very stressful. If you are going to attempt it though i 10000% recommend a 36050 valve spring/keeper tool. I had both the traditional lever type and after doing 1 cylinder it was absolute pain to get those valve keepers in place, even with 2 people. That 36050 is amazing, you do have to push hard to get them in place but it works perfectly almost every time. Back to my actual issue I think my engine is just tired and old and the rings have gone bad. The comp numbers (cold, no oil) were: Cyl 1 -129psi Cyl 2 - 133psi Cyl 3 - 138psi Cyl 4 - 137psi Cyl 5 - 157psi Cyl 6 - 142psi   Cylinder 5 and 6 having the most carbon on them.
    • Who did you have do the installation? I actually know someone who is VERY familiar with the AVS gear. The main point of contact though would be your installer.   Where are you based in NZ?
