What's Toyota's answer to the Skyline?

Is the Crown their answer to the Cedric/Gloria, and the Camry/Vista their answer to the Bluebird, Auster/Stanza/Violet/Primera, and the Corolla their answer to the Sunny, and the Tercel their answer to the Pulsar?

I know the Supra is their answer to the Z-car.

Are the M, G, and JZ their answer to the RB?

Is the VZ their answer to the VG?

Are the MZ, and the GR their answer to the VQ?

school holidays much?

i think toyota are worrying about what TOYOTA are doing, not what NISSAN are doing... i think they have better things to worry about

i guess if you want some sort of a comparison to the nissan skyline, price wise

you could take the soarer for example

which i don't care what ANY OF YOU say, the soarer is a faster, more comfortable, nicer, better built car, and i think it's a lil bit better looking too

and its cheaper too

Which is why im am choosing a soarer over an r32 gts-t as my next car.

ummm who are you to say who is allowed to view this forum?

Mr.Eps has been here for more than 3 years than you so your opinions on this matter sort of mean jack shit.

As for me i have owned a skyline, and now i'm buying a soarer... do you have a problem with that? Should i be banished?

Faster to what? break down?, or maybe faster than what? a parked skyline?

dunno wat show your watching. But its slower around corners, slower down the straight. stock e.t's are also higher. because;

a). its heavy,

b). its shit. Take your pic.

And im comparing to a GTST. Didnt think it was fair to compare it to a GTR. since a GTR is JUST totally out of the Soarers league..

Although, it does have a great engine. :D

Ummm ok :| Contradicting yourself there.

And i do believe a stock soarer would be faster in a straight line than a stock R33. But hey stock r33's are pretty slow lol

with crap electricals, and and a car that their owners themselves want to get rid of

Soarer is slow compared to turbo Skylines.

TT Soarer does like low 8s 0-100 KM/h.

V8 Soarer is even slower, around high 9s.

Soarers are heavy, luxury cruisers.

"TT Soarer does like low 8s 0-100 KM/h."

Where did you get this statistic from?

The auto TT soarers do 0-100 in 6.9 seconds standard:

      7 Speed Auto transmission fluid change (Skyline, Q50, Q60, Fuga, Q70, A62 Titan and probably heaps of others including Navara...)

      By Duncan · Posted

      I thought I'd do a write up on an auto transmission fluid change for a the nissan 7 speed Automatic. At some stage the genius engineers decided that the fluid in the trans was "for the life of the transmission", (which seems kind of self supporting to me) and removed the dip stick and fill tube (funnily enough there is still a casting for it). Anyway, for this job you do need 2 specialist tools in addition to regular hand tools, jack and good chassis stands. You need a way to pump fluid up to the transmission; I got one of these but there are plenty of other options: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364584087070 Don't trust the generic listing though, it does not come with the required adapter for the Nissan 7 Speed. You need one of these, can't do the job without it: https://navarapart.com.au/product/genuine-nissan-patrol-y62-d23-np300-navara-re7-dipstick-fill-connector1 You need a heap of compatible transmission oil. Could be Nissan, could be anything else rated for Nissan Matic S. You need at least 10 litres, I had 15 to give it a better flush... Also, you need some biiig oil catch trays, at least one of these, or bigger if possible (volume was fine, size was very marginal): https://autobarn.com.au/ab/Autobarn-Category/Tools-%26-Garage/Specialty-Tools/Oil-Service/Garage-Tough-Oil-Drain-Pan-Black-16L---GT1068/p/TO03191 Finally, a measuring jug is very useful if your pump does not have volumes marked on it, I got a 6l one: https://www.repco.com.au/oils-fluids/fluid-accessories/measuring-jugs/penrite-measuring-jug-6l-pmj006/p/A5322648 Oh, and gloves.....this stuff is horrible (not as bad as diff oil, but getting there) ....First, jack up your car.....

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I mentioned the apprentice, @LachyK helped take the bonnet off. We just undid the nuts on the hinges and unclipped the gas struts, then pulled the bonnet back a little as the front was catching on the front bar.  I had a good look at everything today and have removed the rams, repaired/reset the hinges and bolted it back together like it never happened. I'll do a separate write up on the repair, and I also removed the poppers from the Fuga today too to save grief down the road.....as said above it is at least $5k to repair retail. I'm also happier about my ability to prepare a race car, and less happy about Nis-nault's engineering (I can hear @GTSBoy sAfrican Americaning) because the top hose of the radiator didn't slip off.......it snapped clean off. By practice I put the hose clamp hard up against the flare on a neck to make it least likely to ever move (thanks @Neil!). I guess that puts a little more pressure on the end of the pipe as it is further away from the rad, but still, that is pretty shit. I've put it back on for now as there was a fair bit of neck still there, but obviously there is no lip on the neck any more so I don't think I'll track it again until I have a new rad. Speaking of which....more research required. It looks like Koyo makes a standard size radiator in ally which I'll grab in the meantime, but I really want something thicker so might have to go custom in the medium term (ouch) Coolant still needs a refill and I have the pressure tester on it over night, but other than a wash down of the engine bay it seems alright. And @MBS206 noted something noisy on the front of the engine and I think I agree....time for a new accessory belt and tensioners I think.

      our good friends at nismo make a diff for it, I have one (and a spare housing to put the centre in) on the way. https://www.nismo.co.jp/products/web_catalogue/lsd/mechanical_lsd_v37.html AMS also make a helical one, but I prefer mechanical for track use in 2wd (I do run a quaife in the front, but not rear of the R32)
