my current car is a 92 180SX with mods, tuned to 240rwkw. had it for nearly 4 years and after thousands of $$$ got it the way i want.

ive imported an R34 skyline from japan, bayside blue, sunroof, 01 model (see 'for sale cars' section).

is it time for a change? ive had my fun with performance and power. i wouldnt mind a nice, late model popular car to just cruise in, as i dont really intend on doing up my next car.

help me decide, thanks.

If it were me i'd get rid of the 180. The 34 is much more recent model, still fairly uncommon today (campared to 180) and if your lookin more towards a car to cruise in, then it sounds like the more obvious choice to keep. Plus with the way petrol is going, a 240rwkw machine is gunna really hurt!

Go the 34.

It suits what you've said you want from your next car perfectly, plus even in stock form it still has plenty of punch.

And that aside, it's a 2001 model, it's Bayside Blue, it has the factory Nismo kit, and it has a factory sunroof. That's just about the rarest spec combination of a GT-t I can think of, I'd love to have one just like it for my next car. Basically I'd hang onto it if I were you :)

Your asking a Skyline forum about which car to keep :)

No doubt if you posted this on NissanSilvia they'll say keep the 180.

Keep the skyline, so much newer, so much hotter. Harvest all the parts off the 180 that you can and you'll still be able to sell it for a handsome price.

youre right, it would be a bias answer coming from this forum!

my main concerns with the skyline are fuel consumption and rego. but i guess a stock one would probably be the same as what the 180 is now. and rego is what, $180/3mths now? plus i dont owe anything on the 180, and keeping the skyline would increase my debts a bit.

i cant spend money on the skyline to get 240rwkw now like i did the 180, i bought a house not long ago. so its time to calm down.

thanks for the input ppl, much appreciated.

That is one of the more nicer modded 180's I've ever seen (Here or Japan) Those rims are f**kin hot!

Do not sell it dude.. You will regret it no doubt.

I say sell the 34 and invest in something small and gay.. 34's are'nt exactly individual or holding their value anymore

Took me a while to work out who you were - der!! It's me Kristian - keep the 34! Wait till it gets here and you drive it, then make your mind up - that is probably your best bet. Not far away now.

I think it depends on what type of driver you are.

Personally as much as I love Skylines I would keep the 180sx :)

EDIT: Just read the above thread, arghhh! Sorry to hear dude - Hope you get it back :(

    • The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow 
    • Good luck on the weekend mate
    • Must have been an absolute nightmare to drive when the power steer was out, the rack ratio/wheel size/caster is all set up for power assistance
    • Welcome to SAU, what are you looking at buying?
    • I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
