Thats for sure!

Got to love engine rebuilds as part of your maintenance routine...

I hear a lot about the rotors being shit to keep in good condition, but is this a rumour or is it actually shit? Are you guys saying it's shit because it's actually shit or are you just pissed off deep down inside that these engines are better?

Serious question.

they are shiet.. well the older ones, the newer renesis editions are pretty good.. the older ones wear the apex seals alot that was the main problem, but if these are replaced with some decent aftermarket ones then thats one of the main 13b related problems out of the way.. The engines are awesome though

rotary revolution cycle goes.

REV, POP, REBUILD

I'm certain that for about $10K - $15K, you are NOT going to get a reliable series V

Hmmm yes and further enjoy the fact that (in the case of the commodore) you have one of the worst most unrefined transmissions put into a car, horrible sounding V6, boat to drive, the most common car on the road....

Why does having the transmission change gears in 0.05s matter during highway cruising? The V6 will end up sounding better than an RB with a big exhaust droning at constant revs after an hour or 3. Boat - same thing, it was made to be comfortable while cruising along on the highway - Skylines with stiff suspension are a bitch on long trips, you just want to get out of it and into something comfortable. Most common car on the road - helps when it stops in the middle of nowhere or when it comes to service time and just about anyone has the parts/knowledge.

Your experiences flogging a VY SS have nothing to do with my suggestion to this bloke to buy a V6 family car which was made to do exactly what he wants to use this car for.
