ok, well it seems that there is an even spread amongst the people, some drive their skylines and some have less than adventurous daily weapons :S ...

the legacy wagon is a cool and different idea, and the camira is well umm yeah.....

Dane: I would normally steer clear of french build cars but the gti6 has grown and grown on me, i always liked the vr6 golfs but they are somewhat thirsty and getting a bit old compared to the pug, I know the seating position is a bit strange to say the least as i've driven the older 205gti and the newer 206gti both which are a pretty fun car to drive,

i have to sell another car before i can go shopping though. keep the thread going, it seems like a winner :)

You won;t be dissapointed with a 306 gti-6 man! Take a look at aussiefrogs.com, and the gti-6 owners club in the UK for some more info if you need it.

I tossed up between the VR6 and the GTi-6 and obviously ended up going the VR6 route, but either would be a great choice, and the pug would certainly cost less to keep on the road.

As for 205GTi's... I will own one as soon as I have somewhere to put it! Tarmac rally 205... mmmmmmm

I drive the R31 line to work and the R32 line on the weekends...

Love the 32 but don't like risking leaving in the street. (The r31 was hit and run)

r31 is getting a bit tired though... needs complete suspension work over. (engine runs well @ 260,000km)

So I have the same problem...what do I do?

Spend $1500+ fixing the r31?

or sell it and spend another $4000 - $8000 on a tow vehicle/daily driver

haha, yeah i have been browsing those forums for a while now, just reading up.

that little 205 is sick: post-9640-1161839728.jpg

I have a couple of friends who have pugs or have had in the past, including a 93ish 205 gti series 3 limited edition with leather and a few factory options, he told me buyer beware, if things break on pugs they break properly and, for example you should budget approx 1200-1800 for a clutch (incl install) that is a lot of coin, i wouldn't spend that on my nissan let alone daily frog breath hatchback. i've still got a while to go before i will be buying so knowing me i'll change my mind another 10 times.

A replacement clutch for a gti-6 is around $900 from peugeot, excluding labour I think, but if you shop around you can pick one up for about $400 I think. The gearbox would be my biggest concern, replacement cost is 7k... ouch :P

A Sorrento 205 would be nice, but 90% are clagged by now...

yeah but how cool is the idea of a tiny little hatch with a 6 speed box, if the box is genuinely worth 7k it'd want to be half decent and unbreakable with standard power... well maybe a chip and remus and intake...springs...swaybar..sticky tyres, see i'm at it again, cars aren't cool at all.

I have a poo brown 79 Gemini.

The odometer is on its 5th way round and its great for knocking over bins and going over speed humps without slowing down.

Hahahah classic, reminds me of my mates oldschool Range Rover that we used to take for late-night "Bin Runs" :)

I doubt you'd have too many troubles man, but something to keep in mind if it does happen. If you want to drive one I'm sure he'll be cool with letting you take it for a spin.

haha it's never ending man... I wasn't supposed to mod the clubbie either...but...you know...

He has induction, eibachs, remus and a system so far, and soon rims and new clutch. A few little mods and the car has come alive.

    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.  
    • No, you're wrong, and you've always been wrong about this. The Nismo has 2 sets of openings. One is a real 2-way, and the other is a 1-way. There is no 1.5-way possible with the ramps that they offer. A real 1.5-way does exist. That Cusco stuff I posted is a prime example. If the forward drive ramps are, say 55°, and the overrun ramps are, say, 30°, then you will get about half as much LSD effect on overrun than you do on drive. It is real, it realy works. OK, you're slightly right. The Nismo has 55° and 45° ramps on the 2-way, so it does offer less LSD effect on overrun. But, I think that just means that they've (probably) sensibly established that you do not want actually equal LSD effect on overrun. You just want "quite a lot, but not quite as much as the drive LSD effect".
