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 :)

for the last 3 or 4 months i have been trying to lay my hands on a semi built 427 AC COBRA replica... hard to find >you gotta be ready when a good one comes up!

My big dream would be to 4x4 one with r32gtr running gear :D

current car: RB25 R32GTST, probably selling soon

Next car: EVO 8 MR or........maybe a chaser in manual of course

Why: well the EVO is the newest fastest thing I can afford..and the chaser well im not sure why but I have always loved them

the skyline is my first car and i plan to keep it untill i am off my p's. then when i am 21 i wanna buy a 2nd hand DB9

your kidding me right? how in f*cks name can you afford one of those? wanna be my friend? :laughing-smiley-014:

current car: VL

next car: soarer? but wont be for a while im broke as a joke

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.

    • Update 3: Hi all It's been a while. Quite a lot of things happened in the meantime, among other things the car is (almost) back together and ready to be started again. Things that I fixed or changed: Full turbo removal, fitting back the OEM turbo oil hardlines. Had to do quite a bit of research and parts shopping to get every last piece that I need and make it work with the GT2860 turbos, but it does work and is not hard to do. Proves that the previous owner(s) just did not want to. While I was there I set the preload for the wastegates to 0,9bar to hopefully make it easier for the tuner to hit the 370hp I need for the legal inspections that will follow later on. Boost can always go up if necessary. Fitted a AN10 line from the catch can to the intake hose to make the catchcan and hopefully the cam covers a slight vacuum to have less restrictive oil returns from the head and not have mud build up as harshly in the lines and catch can. Removed the entire front interior just shy of the dashboard itself to clean up some of the absolutely horrendous wiring, (hopefully) fix the bumpy tacho and put in LED bulbs while I was there. Also put in bulbs where there was none before, like the airbag one. I also used that chance to remove the LED rpm gauge on the steering column, which was also wired in absolute horror show fashion. Moved the 4in1 Prosport gauge from sitting in front of the OEM oil pressure gauge to the center console vents, I used a 3D printed vent piece to hold that gauge there. The HKB steering wheel boss was likely on incorrectly as I sometimes noticed the indicator reset being uneven for left vs. right. In the meantime also installed an airbag delete resistor, as one should. Installed Cube Speed premium short shifter. Feels pretty nice, hope it'll work great too when I actually get to drive. Also put on a fancy Dragon Ball shift knob, cause why not. My buddy was kind enough to weld the rust hole in the back, it was basically rusted through in the lowermost corner of the passenger side trunk area where the wheel arch, trunk panel and rear quarter all meet. Obviously there is still a lot of crustiness in various areas but as long as it's not rusted out I'll just treat and isolate the corrosion and pretend it's not there. Also had to put down a new ground wire for the rear subframe as the original one was BARELY there. Probably a bit controversial depending on who you ask about this... but I ended up just covering the crack in the side of the engine block, the one above the oil feed, with JB Weld. I used a generous amount and roughed up the whole area with a Dremel before, so I hope this will hold the coolant where it should be for the foreseeable future. Did a cam cover gasket job as the half moons were a bit leaky, and there too one could see the people who worked on this car before me were absolute tools. The same half moons were probably used like 3 times without even cleaning the old RTV off. Dremeled out the inside of the flange where the turbine housing mates onto the exhaust manifolds so the diameter matches, as the OEM exhaust manifolds are even narrower than the turbine housings as we all know. Even if this doesn't do much, I had them out anyways, so can't harm. Ideally one would port-match both the turbo and the manifold to the gasket size but I really didn't feel up to disassembling the turbine housings. Wrapped turbo outlet dumps in heat wrap band. Will do the frontpipe again as well as now the oil leak which promted me to tear apart half the engine in the first place is hopefully fixed. Fitted an ATI super damper to get rid of the worn old harmonic balancer. Surely one of the easiest and most worth to do mods. But torquing that ARP bolt to spec was a bitch without being able to lock the flywheel. Did some minor adjustments in the ECU tables to change some things I didn't like, like the launch control that was ALWAYS active. Treated rusty spots and surface corrosion on places I could get to and on many spots under the car, not pretty or ideal but good enough for now. Removed the N1 rear spats and the carbon surrounding for the tailpipe to put them back on with new adhesive as the old one was lifting in many spots, not pretty. Took out the passenger rear lamp housing... what do you know. Amateur work screwed me again here as they were glued in hard and removing it took a lot of force, so I broke one of the housing bolts off. And when removing the adhesive from the chassis the paint came right off too. Thankfully all the damaged area won't be visible later, but whoever did the very limited bodywork on this car needs to have their limbs chopped off piece by piece.   Quite a list if I do say so myself, but a lot of time was spent just discovering new shit that is wrong with the car and finding a solution or parts to fix it. My last problem that I now have the headache of dealing with is that the exhaust studs on the turbo outlets are M10x1.25 threaded, but the previous owner already put on regular M10 nuts so the threads are... weird. I only found this out the hard way. So now I will just try if I can in any way fit the front pipe regardless, if not I'll have to redo the studs with the turbos installed. Lesson learned for the future: Redo ALL studs you put your hands on, especially if they are old and the previous owners were inept maniacs. Thanks for reading if you did, will update when the engine runs again. Hope nothing breaks or leaks and I can do a test drive.
    • No those pads are DBA too  but they have colors too. I look at the and imo the green "street" are the best.
    • I’m not sure what happened I told them about sonic tunes free OTS tune and the next the I know .. I was booted..   To funny 
    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
