New to Skylines (want to be buying one soon), new to the forums, they kick ass especially the 'New to the skyline scene' and 'I'm buying a skyline' threads.

I have searched the forums (and google) - couldn't find an answer to my question, and also looked in the forums and couldn't find anywhere better than here to post it, so I am not a dick.

Here is my question -

I want a resonable decent information source of comparison between Japanese sports car makes. Main things I want to know are specifications (2/4 door, 4WD, etc), engine power output, and 0-100km/h times, for cars like R33 Skyline GT25S, ECR33 GTS25T, R32, WRX, WRX STi, Evo, Supra, etc etc etc etc from various years.

This seeme like it would be pretty fcking easy to find on the internet but I have spent about 10 hours looking for just simple fcking tables telling me this shit and I cant find it anywhere. I remember something similar in the back of Wheels magazine a while ago, but not with all the makes and models I am interested in.

SKYLINES AUSTRALIA PLEASE HELP ME!!!

fcking hell you guys rock up.gif

I checked out all of those pages, though and none of them had the WRX - I understood that the WRX was the benchmark (being the most common) for Japanese imports?

WRX - you can probably check on www.prestigemotorsport.com.au

i think they have specs there too

thanks up.gif

ill let you know what i get - I wanna spend 15-20k, I am thinking either Skyline ECR33 GTS25T - or a WRX. I understand Skyline is cooler, but the fact WRX is 4WD turns me on, and I can't afford a GTR, unless its like 18 years old in which case I would either die from smashing myself into a tree with no airbag or from sadness when it breaks down because its 18 years old.

thanks again

choose wisely because:

1) you need to enjoy it

2) its hard to sell cars these days

3) running costs & parts cost can be high on some cars than others

4) you need to also know if you can handle the power and not end up as another fatality on the roads (i.e just because the wrx has 4wd doesnt make it crash proof)

I don't see parts availability for a skyline to be an issue and aftermarket parts support is available widely as well...only issue would be body panel replacement parts in the event of an acco...if its an insurance jobby, they would need to be flown in from japan...

Otherwise, costs and maintainence wise would be similar. Gotto watch out for those WRX gearboxes though as they tend to be a weakpoint in the older models.

then why are you posting on SKYLINES AUSTRALIA?

:laughing-smiley-014:

but seriously they (wrxs) have their strong points like 4 door may be newer not imports and 4wd

basically go for a drive/ride in each and make ur mind up, the nissan turbos will push you in the back more and be faster usually (more modded also) but a wrx will rip off the mark and be a killer in the wet

    • Hi ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. Just bought my Unicorn but the interior need some minor work so it would match my expectations ;). I noticed it is hard to get used oem floor mats in good condition so i started to dig if there's any chance to buy set of new ones. I found two websites - nengun and amayama and it looks like one can still buy factory new floor mats in Japan, but thers a small issue. Some mats (i assume genuine, oem ones) are marked as G4900 and these are "discontinued". The ones you can buy are marked as G4911 but i have no idea if these are also oem, made by other producer or some lower quality replacements that looks entirely different. Can anyone help? ๐Ÿ˜ƒ  P.s. there is also some strange indication - 0V005, 0V015 and 0V505. Any idea what does it mean? Would appreciate any help with this ๐Ÿ™
    • Hi, Marek here ๐Ÿ™‹โ€โ™‚๏ธ. I finally fulfilled my longtime dream - recently bought Stagea and now waiting for it to arrive in Poland. There's only few of these in my country, and one of the owners  recommended mi this forum as a source of all the info i'd need since now i own one  so here i am.  
    • Version 1 aluminium airbox is.......not acceptable No pics as I "didn't like the look.....alot" Even after all my "CAD", and measurements, the leg near the fusebox just didn't sit right as it ended up about 10mm long and made the angle of the dangle look wrong, the height was a little short as well, meh, I wasn't that confident that Version 1 was going to be an instant winner I might give Version 2 another go, there's plenty of aluminium at work, but, after having in on and off a few times, and laying in the old OEM airbox without the new pod filter and MAF, there may be an option to modify the OEM air box and still use the Autoexe front cover and filter.... maybe This >  Needs to fit in here, but using the panel, and not the pod, the MAF will need to fit in the airbox though> I'm thinking as the old OEM box and Autoexe cover that is sitting in the shed is just sitting around doing nothing, and they are relatively abundant and cheap to replace if I mess it up and need another, it may well fit with some modifications to how the Autoexe brackets mounts to the rad support, and some dremiling to move it get in there, should give me some more room for activities, as I don't want to move the MAF and affect the tune Sealing the hole it requires to stick it in the air box is simple, a tight fit and some pinch weld will seal it up tight  I am calling this a later problem though
    • and it ends up being already priced in as though you're just on 91RON without any ethanol. Car will lose a bit of economy as the short and long term fuel trims bring down the AFR back to stoich or whatever it is for cruise/idle for the engine.  
    • Oh, you are right. But, in Australia E10 is based on 91RON fuel and ends up being 94RON. Hence it being the cheaper option for economy cars. The more performance oriented cars go for the 98RON fuel that has no ethanol mixed in. The only step up we have left then at some petrol stations is E85.
