For waaaaay less than half the price (and heaps less insurance, parts/damage issues etc.) I know what I would choose .... again :rolleyes:

'Just wait till you drift it' and you'll just how much fun even a lowly 160-odd rwkw S15 gets you! And a 13.33 second pass in full street trim is nothing to be sneezed at either!

Of course if money is no issue then there is absolutely NO comparison!

yup..the weight really holds the Skylines back (except of course the GTRs). It all comes down to how much you really want to spend on the initital car and how much you want to sink into the mods for it. Come up with a budget of what you can spend on each and your answer will reveal itself grasshopper :(

And knowing you sam - you'll want all the flashy stuff like a $5k stereo system, $5k mags, $3k body kit :) and thats before you even get around to modding up the engine. So you gotta consider all that too.

hijoin model 5 copies. look sweet and are 1680 new from uniqueautosports. they also have second hand ones now for 1600 with tyres.

think of what you can do to an s15 with the 40-odd grand that you save!

I'm talking deep dish chromies or something totally over the top - this is Sameer we're talking about :( not your sedate copies or 2nd hand rims.

You know these sorts:

Dronell Lightweight Forged

18 x 8.5 (Front) 18 x 9.5 (Rear)

19 Inch Also Available

$4200 with new tyres

or like the 5 Zigen 5ZR - $980 per rim

haha yer Im with lethal on this **** skylines Im getting a vee dub!!(not)

Maaaaaaaaaaaannnnn this is one of the toughest decisions Ive ever had to make, right now Id rather be the doctor in ER who has to decide whether to turn of some poor shmucks life support or not....thing is my mom will never stop bitching at me and my dad if he gets me a 34.....but hopefully I can find a good one at a nice price...then all will be sweet

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
