current car: 1997 180sx type x

next car: another GTR, S2000 or perhaps a mazda FD3S

quick why?: i switched from a GTR to sil cause i like dorifto. but i miss the RB26 and 4wd grip sometimes. so may want to go to another BNR32 or BNR34

or perhaps a S2000 as i like the lightweight high reving engine.. good mix

then maybe a rotor..??

or a MX5...

i buy cars for fun rather than commuting

My last car was a 98 MX5. i'm currently in the market for somehing new, and am torn between an Evo 6 and R32 GTR.

Yesterday I was dead set on the GTR, today I saw an EVO and changed my mind, tomorrow it'll probably change again.

Decisions decisions!

I'm waiting till I get behind the wheel of both of them before I make any decisions, but what you guys think?

I'm awaiting a totally unbiased answer of course :)

R33 GTST to be replaced by 996 911 S. Probably a year or two away. That said the BMW 335i has caught my attention of late especially in it's performance during the Bathurst 24 hr.

My charade 1 ltr is to hopefully be replaced by a Renault Clio Sport.

I'll finally be happy with my garage (I hope).

Current Cars: Nissan 180SX ('92 model), Nissan Pulsar N15 Sedan.

Next Car: Well the 180sx is a long term keeper, so the Pulsar will go first. I think maybe a crewcab ute would be good. I need something that can carry four adults in relative comfort. Would be good to have a tow-car too, and something to carry spares around, so the ute would be ideal for me.

The next car that I upgrade will probably be my daily driver from a 1991 Peugeot 205 GTI to a boring 5 door VW Golf Mk V TD. I'll keep the R32 GTR for a while yet until an R34 GTR M-Spec Nur comes along or I can afford the new GTR.

Current cars

08 Prado turbo diesel- Maybe Replace 09 [new shape] or keep and spend money on mods for gtr!

R34 Gtr- Keeping for 3 more years hopefully afford to modify more- replace late 2011 with R35

Thats if things go to plan and the economy doesnt get completely screwed!!! :thanks:

Fuel embargos not considered, I'd like to keep the R34 and then add...

i) a replacement R33 GTR for the one I sold 5 years ago and

ii) an R32 GTR (from Oz)

Yes, am a bit sentimental, but I figure that now I'm used to the confined space in the 4th Gen Prelude,

... I'll find the R32 quite spacious by comparison lolz.

Tez :thanks: ...the 3 GTRs will look nice together

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD?

      Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.

      So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!

      OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
