hi guys,

i have just written off my 1998 celica after some clown failed to stop at a roundabout and slammed into my left side at 70km/h. I have been planning to get something else for the past year cause i just started getting sick of the power, or lack there of, of the celica. Dont get me wrong they're a great sports car and extremely reliable (I thrashed that thing so f*@ken bad), but i just got over it. Great for a first car tho.

So after the accident the first thing i did when i got back from the hospital :P was get on carsales.com and start lookin for a new car.

My budget is around $27k. My first thoughts were supra. I have admired these beasts of a car since i was 12. Luv the looks, luv the power and torque especially (very important), but nowadays they're just so old!! most examples in aus are atleast 12 years old with plenty of kays. i have also neva been in one. All my knowledge for them has come from mates, mags and the net.

My otha option is an R34 GTT. After i took a ride in my mates one, i fell in love. It had a nismo b/kit, full exhaust and the rest was stock but i still loved the power, the response, the looks and interior of the thing. they're both at a similar price but with the supra its a much older car with much more kays.

What would you guys do?

Insurance isn't a problem.

cheers

Rob.

Hello ,

After being in a 1998 model car ,it is not right to get into an older model than you drove before,

unless it is a true classic eg. wide bodied porsche,old triumph etc...There are only a few exceptions,

the GTR32 or 33 .

Both these hold there resale value better than gtst's etc.

I also looked at a 34GTT drove the thing and it did not compare to a gtr at all.

Why not join the Skyline club with a top gtr32, i like them alot,but could not buy one, because my nephew had one so i bought the 33gtr instead.

You really have to either love your nissans or your toyotas ...so choose your weopens...

I have already chose mine...

C u on the battle arena...

Regards

Tekin

i thought it sounded more like mike whitney from that dodgy Gladiators show that used to be on.

      Wanted to buy R200 longnose LSD 3.9 ratio

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D

      Back for more after 18 years - and where are the longnose R200 LSDs?

      By Ben_D · Posted

      Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D

      G35 Control arm and Compression Rods into a V35 Skyline.

      By sonicii · Posted

      Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.

      Ceramic turbine damage to engine - what did yours do?

      By Erelyes · Posted

      Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.

      M35 Aftermarket Fuel Pump

      Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
