Only just bought my R33 GTS-T :D

Next up... hmmmm

Depends when I finish at uni I guess...

Perhaps an EVO of some sort if I manage to score a good grad job? Or an S15?

Planning on keeping the 33 for a while yet though :)

Don't do it man... who cares about straight line speed... it's all about how much fun you can have on the corners & how fast you get through them.

I would never buy a jeep... and I used to work for the company! lol :laugh: You're better off with a real 4x4 like a land cruiser, or maybe a X5.

Unless of course you need to tow stuff or drive through rivers...

I think i'm over the whole car thing.. time to settle down and get myself a JEEP:

'Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT-8'

http://www.webwombat.com.au/motoring/news_...erokee-srt8.htm

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drive...rticleId=108449

http://www.caradvice.com.au/3234/2007-jeep...srt8-road-test/

Power: 313kW @ 6000rpm

Torque: 569Nm @ 4800rpm

20†alloy wheels with Brembo brakes

Priced at $85,990

"5.2 seconds to 60 mph, 13.5 seconds in the quarter-mile. That makes this a 4,800-pound SUV that easily smokes a new Mustang GT, Pontiac GTO and, its most direct competitor, the Chevy TrailBlazer SS. And, you may want to sit down for this if you're a Porschephile, it's even quicker than the $90,000 Porsche Cayenne Turbo (0-60 in 5.9, quarter in 14.3)."

"Let’s put that into perspective. The 2.1-tonne 4WD will out-row a HSV GTS in a straight line run to 100km/h and will also beat one of its double-priced rivals – the Porsche Cayenne Turbo."

This is being realistic can't wait to see these for sale on the second hand market :domokun:

well so far my car list goes-

1st- Honda CRX si (excellent A to B car :laugh: )

2nd- mark1 MR2 (bloody rot box :D )

3rd- mark 2 MR2 turbo (nice car with a T-bar that leaked in ;) )

4th- mark 2 MR2 turbo (tin top no leaks + very very fast :( )

5th- current car R32 RB20 (a bit slow wish i had bought a GTR :domokun: )

So going by my past rides im thinking i might get another import probably a RX7 series 6 :)

GTShortie - My dad has one of these ...... i hope you got a truckload of money because you will need to own an oil company to run the bloody thing .... guzzles lots of fuel. It's okay .... its not really a jaw dropping machine.

Mine is going to have to be something with 4 doors and im not liking anything thats out there at the moment. So far the shortlist goes to: New/Demo Audi A6 or New/Demo Subaru Liberty 2.5GT Tuned by STI. Hopefully in the next 12-18months they bring in a really nice Soccor Mumma car with some balls.

      Question about BoV on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.

      Upgrade an rb25neo

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
