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

i think he is looking at a DR30 not a R31.....

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

yeh i know, but they were paying them out..

and i thought they were done up VLs

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!

--- Do a search this has been covered a bit

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..

    • The average previous owner for these cars were basically S-chassis owners in the US. Teenagers or teenager-adjacent. I often tell people that neglect is easier to fix than something that was actively "repaired" by previous owners.
    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
