i don't understand the people who say they like the JZX100... they look CRAP! and the interior... *shudders*

the interior on the aristos looks crap in photos, but is actually quite decent in r/l

no way do they look crap, gotta remember theres 3 different jzx100s the chaser, crest and the mark II all with different styling (headlights and taillights) the chaser looks the best IMO and looks better than the aristo but meh its personal preference. And as for the interior its not much different to the aristo, but has darker plastics (a good thing) the only problem is the awful stripey fabric they trim the seats and door trims in, but this is only a colour spray or retrim away from fixing..

Jason i respect you enough to say stick to the R32...

You will cry the day its goes... As will I... :)

im sure you have shed many tears over your line at times

its ok i have a tissue hidden in my bag somewhere if you need it *pats poor sensitive man* its ok

im sure you have shed many tears over your line at times

its ok i have a tissue hidden in my bag somewhere if you need it *pats poor sensitive man* its ok

of course its ok to cry over your car! it when you start crying over a girl that something is wrong :)

i cried when i sold my gtir :kiss: and i still miss it to this day :laugh: *wipes back a tear* i'm actually proud to admit that, because i really loved that car. make sure you really want to get rid of the line. dont do something you will regret. i dont think anyone would let you buy your car back after you've sold it.

i'm not saying dont do it, just make sure you want to do it :) that way you will be happy to part with your line.

What like the influx of cefiros? I get no attention what so ever.

It's cause they offer no challenge to the coppers......they are just re-badged camrys.

jk.

I prefer the chasers too, though both made by toyota, same car really....

lilmike_86 - soo true, if you cry over a 'ladie' its only cause they kicked your car on the way out. but i like ladies i swear.

please dont hurt me stephy..... :(

I was tossing up an Aristo a few months ago, what with a 2nd kiddie otw and all. Would make a wicked sleeper for sure and lots of creature comforts as standard. The "auto only" kinda put me off, but you cant go past a luxo 2JZGTE for ~$15K.

I decided to keep the Skyline, but I could turn in the blink of an eye :(

Seen a couple around, nice cars. My mate was considering one.. but he got bitten by the evil bug (after crashing his R32 gts-4).

I'm proud to say he purchased a 260Z with a RB20DET conversion. Lets just say the cops have no idea what they are looking at. Though when we line up infront of the ladies the 33 wins hands down.

Back to the luxobarge, it's quick enough in a straight line... I for one can't stand auto (been in a auto vt for a week... waiting for my daily).

A cressy with a 1jz conversion and 5 speed would be far sexier imo. Cops would leave you alone, nobody would notice you, and if you want, get a body kit, decent rims, and it has most the features already. Plus having access to local parts would make things cheaper to run and repair.

Good luck with your choice, I went for a ride in one while testing cars (I didn't drive... wanted to play passenger heh) awesome ride quality... bit boaty, but decent suspension upgrade could help.

well, it seems i may be able to get one to play around with / see how liveable it is, without actually having to buy it...

my little brother sold his RX7 a few weeks ago, and now he has his heart set on one and is looking to get one in the near future.....

Been thinking recently about how tough it's getting for modified car owners, and also re-assessing what i want in a car.... while it's fun to have something that's quick and nimble, there's always a trade-off (in the case of my '32, it's comfort, NVH, driveability etc)

I've always wanted a nice cruiser, that's comfortable and easy to drive, and the way things are getting with police attention these days, sleepers that don't attract much attention seem to be the way to go.

I was looking through a caryard a little while back, and came across a Toyota Aristo - very sedate looking sedan, but with a mighty 2JZGTE under the bonnet and supra running gear :no:

Had a good look at the car - they're very well appointed in terms of features/extras etc... not sure how they drive, as i'm yet to drive one, but from what i've seen of them, i don't think they'd be too bad....

Now getting older, my focus on what i want from a car is changing.... it used to be to have a good handling/quick car, but these days (in my old age :D) i'm leaning more towards comfort and driveability, not attracting lots of police attention, but while still having a bit of poke....

what does everyone think?

Here's an example of what i'm talking about...

p.s. if i got one, mine would be black, with possibly sunroof/leather (if i can find one in good condition :)) preferrably with alot of the option boxes ticked, and i would just put a nice exhaust, some nice wheels, air filter (still in the factory box) and some dark tints on it.....

what about the good old stagea atleast your still keeping it real with the nissan

    • Had another look at the car and I noticed the fuel pump isn't priming on ignition. I'd taken out the pump from the boot to siphon out the old fuel, so maybe I've knocked something loose or broken a wire putting things back together. Will go back with a multimeter and try to work out what's stuffed. Kinda hoping it's the pump itself thats gone so I can upgrade it
    • Yeah agreed, you can't assume that shop are they only people who ever had to work on it. It was just a guess on the mods based on how things were done back then. You can check the Air Flow Meters by the part number on their tags, they are likely either Z32 or Nismo ones (both read about the same but the Z32 one is a little larger while nismo is stock size but supports the higher airflow like a Z32). And yes, all that would get you to 450hp / 340kw To tell what is happening with the turbos, you want a photo of the tag on the core, that will say what it was made out of  (they can retain the front and rear covers to make the plumbing easier)  
    • I'm selling my personal race car. 1992 BNR32 Skyline GT-R About eight years ago the engine developed the dreaded low oil pressure problem. I removed it and found the issue. However shortly after I moved half way across the country, moved my work shop, bought a house, got married, then moved my shop again to it's permanent location for the time being. in turn I do not have the time to race this car as it should be. In turn the engine I built for this car will end up in my street car and this car I hope finds a home with someone who can use it to it's full potential. The roll bar was built by Jason Noren Fabricaiton in Pomona California to SCCA and NASA Specs. The car used to compete in redline time attack and global time attack enthusiast class. It also has a fire suppression system.  The car is with me at my workshop in Kyle Texas, USA. Shipping it is no problem, I can personally deliver the car to the port of either Houston or Los Angeles. Any other port depending on where it is may require transport but we can always work that out.   The chassis itself is rust free, rear quarters and under fenders are free of any rust so it's a very solid foundation for anyone who wishes to move forward with it. As posted and at the asking price of $20,000 USD the car includes all of the following;   All OEM Body panels, front fenders, rear bumpers etc.  OEM Nissan Projector headlamps (Pictured N1 lamps were removed) OEM Nismo Side Skirts / Extensions OEM Rear Spats  Front & Rear Subframes are installed car is full roller Rear Subframe has Cusco Camber Arms, Whiteline HICAS Elimination Front Subframe has Whiteline tension rods and whiteline Sway bars w/ endlinks.  Buddy Club N1 Coilovers All chassis wiring and engine wiring is in tact. Attessa System is fully in tact and was functional before engine removal.  BCNR33 GT-R Brembo Brakes F+R with Endless MX72 Plus Pads, DBA Rotors & Stainless Steel Brake lines Billion Racing Radiator Billion Radiator Hoses Fluidyne Engine Oil Cooler Accusump System (trunk Mounted) 5 Speed Transmission w/ Transfer Case F+R Prop-shafts Rear Differential With rear Axles.  Nismo Gauge Cluster Nismo Clutch + Flywheel   Essentially what is needed to make this car running and driving again is as follows: A working Engine, an ECU, and time to put it together. The price posted is or best offer as I am willing to remove some components to accommodate price to a certain extent. If any serious buyer wants full detailed pictures, videos, or any questions I'll be happy to answer them. I believe this car is priced to move quickly considering it's a rust free and very straight chassis but always open to fair negotiation.  I can be contacted via phone or email.

    • So...to my (and my mechanics doing the swap) surprise...the oil pan from NEO engine does not fit 100% and needs to by modified like this: It is not a huge problem but in the future i want a "proper" oil pan. So question is...what different oil pan can i get to fit without any problems and modification? Thanks! 
    • Some more info I found.  These are the last entries Yoshikiyo Fujii made on his blog before he passed away in 2009: http://blog.livedoor.jp/fujii_dynamics/ And finally this is where the workshop was situated:  https://maps.app.goo.gl/HhTPtHzt3WVcBTiEA
