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.

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

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
