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

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

    • Do a degree in mechanical engineering specializing in combustion systems and materials. Learn how to actually wrench on things that don't require 70k+ USD buy-in while you're at it. You also want to learn to weld and machine. If you still want to do this then you'll nominally have the knowledge to actually do what you're thinking of doing. Whether you still want to do any of that once you've actually gone through that process is anybody's guess. Personally I cannot imagine anything more frustrating than trying to package a supercharger under the hood of any of these cars when the turbos are already fighting for every last inch.
    • That's a function of the fuel pressure reg, not the pump. The pump can do more, needs to be able to do more. The reg keeps the pressure in the rail constant above whatever the manifold pressure is.
    • You need enough post count to have PMs enabled. It will come. They are not the same. The NA box is the skinny little box and the turbo box is the big heavy one, and the yokes are not interchangeable.
    • So, you're not talking about rebuilding the dampers, just putting new tops on them? You just need new tops and a spanner.
    • Hi All, Does anyone know how or who (shop) could rebuild my original R32 GTR Nismo struts? These are the OG logo ones that were a factory option back in the day. I've replaced them with aftermarket coilovers which are good, but the OG Nizmo struts tha i bought the car with i feel are amazing, just the rubber tops are worn and would need replacing... Plus it would make it 100 time easier for me to get the GTR fully engineered without adjustable coilovers... I was considering selling the OG suspension, but if i can get them rebuild / refurbished, I would seariously put them back on. Cheers, Tom   p.s. I'm in Sydney by the way and don't mind travelling if need be to get these puppies rebuilt.
