Yeah I bought a non-turbo once.... never again lol. I regretted it, the feel of boost is sure something I wont get over. Plus after getting my car I went to the toilet and instantly noticed how much bigger my penis had become...

mate, just bite the bullet ditch that lancer and buy a skyline!! ive had my s2 33 for bout 4 months and i love it, the power the way it looks and just how u can hammer it and hammer it and it just wont break, yer sure they require a bit more attension like servicing etc, but once u sit in it and boost away from the lights ul completely forget about the loan or money u have to spend cause ur havin the time of ur life in the best car eva made!!! cheers

I'm a full time student and only work part time, I've had to fix up a lot of things in the last 6 months or so, but i guess you can expect that from an older import. Either way I have managed to up-keep my car pretty well. Apart from expensive fuel, maintenance isn't usually too bad, esp. if you can manage your own minor services every 5000km. The only things I hate are tyres and insurance, I have 18's on my car so a full tyre set (235/40's) cost me around $1k and comprehensive insurance costs $2.7k per yr upfront. If something goes bust you can either hit a wrecker or order from japan - doesn't take too long and a cheaper option most of the time in comparison to genuine nissan parts. I love my car and can guarantee you'll have a ball if you buy one :domokun:

I have a Skyline.. my 1st Car ever... n got it once i got my 1st Full Time Job.., i went for my Manual license.. which i drove an Auto for 3 years plus. As soon as i passed my Manuals.. i went n got da BEAST..., It's one heck of a ride. Gettin used to the power, scene, modding and u know stuff that happens on the street ;-) chop chop chop hehehe...

I have so many plans it's endless... i move from one hobby to another... and now it's the skyline. As long as ur living ur Passion in Life is all that matters... cuz u never know wat tommorrow will bring..., Nike couldn't make it any simplier wif there slogan "JUST DO IT" hehehe

      My BMW 335i

      I am yet to see anyone ever regret a quaife or helical. ...other than drifting/skidpan duties. I kind of want to upgrade my factory helical with a Quaife (but really it's not ultimately that different, and is a MASSIVE UNDERTAKING), that's how good the hype is about them, that I want to try them 'just to see'

      D2 and Ksport are essentially the same thing and basically just generic Taiwanese manufacture. Better than ChinaBay crap, but... not top shelf. Öhlins have got to be some of the best dampers around, so likely to be a good option. It's going to get to the point though where I suggest you buy from Oz. We have at least 2x excellent options here. If I were you though, I'd be talking to KW about doing something for the R33. There's bugger all difference between that and the 32. In GTR land, anyway.

      KW only offers a set for the R32 GTR. Popular options are D2 racing, Ksport or Öhlins. I have a D2 Racing coilover set, though I don't know for sure which one.

      Well, the good news is you have more than one very good option for new coilovers in and around your country. Worth the drive over to KW to talk about GTR stuff.

      Fair enough, I am in no way a tire expert so I'm not familiar with all the terms and conditions. I'll definitely note down the AD09 to potentially try in the future. Rain is not too big of a concern for now as I will probably only drive in the rain when I have to. And considering I still lack experience driving the GTR I'd more than likely take it easy too. I have coilovers in the car but as I barely got to drive so far I never bothered to even check if they are adjustable haha. The suspension is almost entirely old and worn as well so I suppose when I eventually fix that in the future that would make a huge difference.
