Ryanvlsl,

Mate maybye you should think beter of yourself? You probably are an ok fella. You deserve a car with a nice interior man.

Have you ever blown an interior light and not replaced it because you dont want to be reminded of how crap your car looks in the inside when you get in and out of it?

hahahahahahaha

What a piece of shit.

Ouch mate, you seriously hurt my feelings, oh no I think im on the verge of comiting suicide because some guy called my interior crap, oh no son of rajab save me from this bad man. :D

<sarcasm>

Seriously mate, I know VL interiors arent the best, but do you seriously think I care if my interior doesnt look as good as other cars?

Coupe-This: I have heard of ULOOKD before, I saw it at Summernats. :P

I'm not a fan of the VL Aeros though, not big on VLs with bodykits.

Also, yeah I dont know what kind of purpose this thread had as it is a Skyline forum after all, it would be alot like going onto a Holden site and asking whether to buy a Commodore or a Falcon.

So then the thread starter and RyanVLSL should get jiggy in a spa and set their interiors on fire while driving off a cliff..

Hahahahah nice.

BTW if anyone is wondering, im just having a muck around in this thread, no one should take this shit to heart aye.

ryan,

Man I actually quite like vl's despite all the sledging. My best mate is in the process of striping one and painting it candy red. He is dropping in a rb35det and a stall converter and a dog box of some sort. Very nice custom stereo in boot, about 4 pairs of splits. Full Aero kit, hsv 18 inch wheels, on air bags. Will be a very nice car and give mine a run for its money.

Sorry dude, just bored and trying to stir people up. Have to admit I got Ya?

Meh its cool.

I'm just having a dig, because I knew you Skyline fellas would dig back.

Its all in good fun, but I still think this thread was pointless from the begining.

i am a fan of VLs, having owned a modified turbo one previously. its clear though, that alot of people in here are 100% Jap orientated and the thought of a Commodore would make them sick, clearly trying to compare one (a commo) to a SKyline in a Skyline forum was never gonna work.... and no doubt on CalaisTurbo.com they will say the opposite.

go have a look at both cars, pick the pros n cons from each and buy what best suits u and your budget, coz F*CK ALL people on here are going to tell you to buy a Commodore over a Skyline.....

2c added :thumbsup:

A lot of people including myself until my friend showed me a few figures, magazines forget also the vl's pertential.

A rb30det with a few induction freeing mods ets and a bit of boost is a fair bit quicker than what a r32 or r33 would be with similar mods.

They are not as heavy as what people think and the extra cubes with a few mods compensates more than enough for the lack of double overhead cams etc.

But, I personally like my car but before my other mate told me about turbo cars, i alway wanted to do up a vl or vs as a kid. I really wanted a black v8 vs, tinted, stereo etc.

anywho.....

Just to clear this one up.....

thats from factory..

If you had taken a few seconds to read the text in the (my) image (thanks for not crediting me) that you posted, you would have found that Nissan had nothing to do with anything but the base production of these 3 vehicles.

The Peter Jackson Nissan Racing Team, under the direction of Fred Gibson have prepared 3 unique Nissan road cars.

These cars were not "factory turbo".

The pace cars in question were also not "factory turbo".

If you wish to carry on the rather pointless debate of whether Nissan Australia produced any factory turbo R31's, please start a thread in the "classic skylines" section.

This thread is now locked, at thread starters request.

    • I drive the Tiguan much harder than the Skyline in all conditions, because it just grips and hooks, unlike the R33 shit box
    • The rain is the best time to push to the edge of the grip limit. Water lubrication reduces the consumption of rubber without reducing the fun. I take pleasure in driving around the outside of numpties in Audis, WRXs, BRZs, etc, because they get all worried in the wet. They warm up faster than the engine oil does.
    • When they're dead cold, and in the wet, they're not very fun. RE003 are alright, they do harden very quickly and turn into literally $50 Pace tyres.
    • Yeah, I thought that Reedy's video was quite good because he compared old and new (as in, well used and quite new) AD09s, with what is generally considered to be the fast Yokohama in this category (ie, sporty road/track tyres) and a tyre that people might be able to use to extend the comparo out into the space of more expensive European tyres, being the Cup 2. No-one would ever agree that the Cup 2 is a poor tyre - many would suggest that it is close to the very top of the category. And, for them all to come out so close to each other, and for the cheaper tyre in the test to do so well against the others, in some cases being even faster, shows that (good, non-linglong) tyres are reaching a plateau in terms of how good they can get, and they're all sitting on that same plateau. Anyway, on the AD08R, AD09, RS4 that I've had on the car in recent years, I've never had a problem in the cold and wet. SA gets down to 0-10°C in winter. Not so often, but it was only 4°C when I got in the car this morning. Once the tyres are warm (ie, after about 2km), you can start to lay into them. I've never aquaplaned or suffered serious off-corner understeer or anything like that in the wet, that I would not have expected to happen with a more normal tyre. I had some RE003s, and they were shit in the dry, shit in the wet, shit everywhere. I would rate the RS4 and AD0x as being more trustworthy in the wet, once the rubber is warm. Bridgestone should be ashamed of the RE003.
    • This is why I gave the disclaimer about how I drive in the wet which I feel is pretty important. I have heard people think RS4's are horrible in the rain, but I have this feeling they must be driving (or attempting to drive) anywhere close to the grip limit. I legitimately drive at the speed limit/below speed the limit 100% of the time in the rain. More than happy to just commute along at 50kmh behind a train of cars in 5th gear etc. I do agree with you with regards to the temp and the 'quality' of the tyre Dose. Most UHP tyres aren't even up to temperature on the road anyway, even when going mad initial D canyon carving. It would be interesting to see a not-up-to-temp UHP tyre compared against a mere... normal...HP tyre at these temperatures. I don't think you're (or me in this case) is actually picking up grip with an RS4/AD09 on the road relative to something like a RE003 because the RS4/AD09 is not up to temp and the RE003 is closer to it's optimal operating window.
