hey all,

I just sold up the last of my cars and am now in the market for a new car, however I can't decide between a few different ones and I am trying to organise a ride in each so I can determine which I prefer and hopefully narrow down the choice. So is there anyone on here that wouldn't mind taking me for a ride in a fairly stock r32 gtr and a fairly stock r33 gtr ??

I can be some-what difficult to meet up with due to work commitments but I am more than willing to go out of my way (and not put you out too much)....if someone could accomodate me in this, that would be great.

thanks....

Call it cautious. Especially after last weeks news story of that perp who organised a test drive via the internet and tryed on a carjack. Shame the perp couldn't drive a manual and got nabbed. Bahaha

Suggest you try Evo in Fyshwick and see what they have in stock if you dont get a response on here. It's been a fair while since you posted on SAU.

Not saying anything isnt on the up n up and maybe folk will volunteer.

Be cautious about place n time. Take a license b4 you show the keys. Wouldn't want a copy cat crime.

No offense meant.

I understand that fully, I am prolly one of the most trustworthy people your gonna find around, and as you said I am happy to give any form of ID that the person wants to see. I have had one offer from a bloke, but he is only available on friday nights which is a bit difficult for me atm. If anyone knows psymon you can ask him about me if your a bit cautious, he has known me for years.

And the only reason that I haven't posted on here for a while is that I don't own a skyline nor have I, hence don't have alot of comments to make in relation to the cars. All of my posts I think you will find have been in the for sale section, in relation to buying one.

Just try get a test drive in a R32 GTR, engine and power wise they are almost identical. The R33 was a fraction slower along the Qtr Mile due to a slightly heavier curb weight but after some minor mods it wont matter. In the end it comes down to which one tickles your tatsebuds. The R32 is more raw and racer like while the R33 is more roomier and refined, not to say both cant look incredibly mean. Just becareful if you go down the path of an R32 as alot of them have been thrashed and had a hard life, repairs can put a big hole in the bank account.

Good Luck

However me on the other hand.....lollerskates.

32GTR FTW!!!!!

I posted a thread a while ago asking if anyone will trust me with their 32GTR as I've never driven one and will be buying one and didn't get a response. I'm not perfect but I'm known as well as anyone here and no-one would let me.

*wipes awat a tear*

On a completely random note I just got my new black suede bride buckets today! only took them 9 months to arrive.

      Rusty roof repair

      Some of the filler.   Also if I look under the top flap of metal it starts looking good quite close to the edge. I get the feeling it doesn't go much further.

      Rusty roof repair

      By PranK · Posted

      So, I finally started digging at the bit of my roof that was cracking and bulging a bit. Well, it was just thick filler that was covering some pretty bad rust. I didn't find the edges, I was too bummed to keep going.  There are a few holes as you can see. There was just so much filler but looks like no attempt under the filler to prime or use rust converter, just slapped filler on exposed rust.  Anyway, I'm going to take the windshield out and find the edges. I'd love to fix this myself as I'm pretty sure it'll be expensive to get done properly. I was thinking I could just get a cut piece from another E39 and just weld it in place as it would be the right size and shape.  Thoughts?

      This is the territory of the "Stage 1/2/3 Golf GTI/R" or otherwise off the shelf tune with (relative to before) minor mods. It's easier now. Downpipe and Tune and boom, big increases. Stage 1 OEM+ is where it's at. This is where the niche evolved into and it's really easy to see why. It's rare to even NEED to consider changing turbos or going to aftermarket ECU's or building bottom ends for more power. Stage 1-2-3 will get you a LONG WAY. Civic Type R turbo GR Yaris/Corolla Anything with B58 (MKV Supra/x40i) Anything BMW in General Anything Audi in General Any turbo AMG RenaultSport Turbo offerings Korean Elantra N/I30N Ecoboost Mustangs Focus RS? List goes on. I would argue in the future it won't even need to go on... M3P is pretty rapid out of the box...

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.
