Yeah but thats a different kettle of fish, its not a 'nice' car its a track car. More and more nowadays I care not for track cars

Ok then, the other other one. Han's is comfy as.

But not the other other other one, it's slow and horrid.

I used to own a red MY99 WRX and went very well for minimum mods, but then I purchased a near dead stock R32 GTR and said to myself "why did I ever bother with a WRX?"

My current daily STI is far nicer than my GTR ever was. It's cheaper to run and insure and so far is only 0.3sec slower down the quarter for similar mods.

It also has an oil system that doesn't try and lunch my motor whenever it sees a long bend in the road.

That being said, when I had the GTR I swore black and blue I'd never have one of those WRX buckets of crap.

A stock wrx to a stock STI is more of a performance gap than people realise too. You wouldn't assume a GTSt was just like a GTR would you...

An STI at that time was a lot better than a WRX.

Pretty much went to shit when they jumped to the 2.5L motors.

- not entirely fair to the 06/07's though, they seem to not be made of the same paper-mache of the 08+

I've never said the WRX (STI) was a bucket of crap! I have a strong affection for the Nissan GTR's that will always run much deeper in my veins than the Subi will ever will.

Really discussing oiling issues on the RB's?!

I've driven both the standard WRX and STI (type R) and performance wise...........well it did not really give me a hard on.

What happens in your pants is your business and yours alone my friend...

Evidently you can pop back in once every few years and not miss anything of substance.

There has never been anything of substance.

Speaking of no substance all we need is Josh here for true and proper whoring lol

Holden bloke... Soooo pass and I'm more looking for a small car

I swear I replied to this but it didnt show.

I had an excel a while back. Unkillable and cheap. Averaged around 6L/100, parts cost next to nothing and I didnt service it for 35000km and i stayed alive. As a runaround it was pretty amazing.

Pass my sister had one nothing but problems and i hated the thing hated working on it hated driving it juststraightuphateit

Bought It off her for 100 went for a skid day in a paddock on a mates farm rolled it a few time. Blew the motor and burnt it. Best thing the car did was burn

And tony that's a possibility, but wanting a small car like a mirage, starlet, rolla or something like that a little hatch

    • Well, yes, every CU on the bus is available via the Consult port, but whether the scanner you are using is capable of talking to the TCU, the ABS/TCS modules, etc etc, is what is at question here. Many of them are only for engine codes. So, if you have one of those, you won't know if the ABS is having a bitch.
    • That's now. R chassis Skylines come from a time when the tolerance in the ADRs was a bit more....slack. My car, on 235/35-17, which is damn near the exact same size as the original 205/55-16, is pretty much bang on correct indicated speed across the whole legal range. That's demonstrated with constant speed run over 5km, and GPS speed. It's just the luck of the draw. My particular speedo head has to be the thing that is "calibrated" that way, because everything else (the diff ratio, the gearbox and the speedo drive**) are all same same as most other Skylines. **OK, so the speedo drive is a Navara unit to drive the R32's cable, not the electronic unit than an R33/4 would normally have with teh same gear on it. Otherwise, I applaud your OCD tendencies, and I would do the same if I needed to.
    • Not too sure, I believe the Nissan consult port does everything? Also just filled up the reservoir to full and the light is still on. The float seems to move up and down fine.
    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph on 255/40 17, so again conservative Google says manufacturers need to set the speedo from 4 to 10% slower than actual road speed.....for safety.....and compliance  After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
