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

hehe, yes Gordo, VMS said they could get me used 18s with tires around the 2k mark, cf hood I can get for under a grand and the wing...welll Ill prolly source one from jah pan

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

    • Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks 
    • The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.  
    • There's a good German place in Brisbane if youre up for the drive 😛
    • The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.  
    • Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
