haha, once P platers start owning a model, or if they get modified by rajab or those barbi guys, they should be gracefully withdrawn from supercar-dom.

Don't be quoting me about not appreciating. The time and cost of spent getting my car bare metal resprayed, all the mods etc are unrecoverable. you want to buy it? $70K - it's yours.

Bottom line - old technology, better cars now.

well no shit sherlock...a 2007 performance car VS a 1989 performance car in technology....geee, hmmmm, yeh i wonder which would have more advanced technology.

and i WILL quote u about 'not aprreciating', because i refuse to believ u truly appreciate the skyline. sounds like u wasted ur money resrpraying and modding ur gtr...u shoulda purchased a nice new car with all the fantastic new technology and safety features.

Its built off a passenger car. How can it be a "supercar", which should have a bespoke platform?

The only true supercar made by a big Japanese car manufacturer is the NSX.

My biased opinion...hondas are gay....

its a shame the NSX lacks supercar performance...

the nsx-S Zero and nsx-R are the exceptions...

LOL...nope. Still Hondas so still gay :blink:

Maybe if they had all that technology in an alloy bodied 4.5L V8 sports car...then it would be ok :) S2000 shoud at least have a 3l V6. Look at their F1 team and tell me they have a clue what they are doing :(

Actually, i think i will stop before getting banned or sacked from my job for wasting time...all because im bored. Interesting that the Skylien made the Top 10. I love mt Nissans but the ZED shoud have been on that list before the Skyline!

oh come off it Roy. With the exception of toyota, Honda was the force to be reckoned with in the late 80s and early 90s..

we both know producing an engine that goes like stink and a complete car that goes like stink are two VERY different things..

is it ok if the F1 boys start whoring the thread? :blink: :sorcerer:

Honda shoudl stick with building engines. That they can do. Running a GP team or building an exciting car???? Some Euro fella should tell Honda Execs that it needs to be at least 3.0L if its going to do anything in the streaight line department with all the weight they have to carry these days :blink:

Now Chev and the Corvette...yeh baby

What a co-inkidence... next DECA then Brisby? I'll even let you hold an extra steering wheel in the passenger seat and pretend you were driving.

Not a real survey. The great Aussie sportscar is missing. V8 ute with a massive gas guzzling DONK!!

Ooops, iron block so it can't make it.

Can't believe Marcus is on the rags. Mr Nice usually. The GTR must getting to him........

now where exactly do you draw the line between super car, sports car and MUSCLE car..?? :blink::(

now where exactly do you draw the line between super car, sports car and MUSCLE car..?? :unsure: :unsure:

Meh, today the line is right here. Tomorrow over there, somewhre else another day :)

But sports car is built on its own platform and is built to go fast.

Supercar is built on a stand alone platform with lots of exotic materials and engineering ensuring that performance isnt compromised by silly stuff like grouns clearance, visibility or price.

Muscle cars and performance cars are things garnished from mass built ho hum cars and tweaked to get the shoppign done in a god awful hurry.

And if anyone bags the RB20, i will mince them up and use their refuse as egine oil. :P

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
