I will personally punch you in the ovaries if you sell yours and buy this Greg!! :/

The P plates are a dead give away as to what life this car has lived (still speaking from experience :) ) and considering the price of petrol its a no brainer :D

At the end of the day what are you looking at using the car for?? you seemed to have fun at Texikhana :P

Totally agree, Stick with the line.

I did have to think on it for a bit though as I too have a soft spot for VS clubby's.

The only reason to swap would be for the noisy rumble.

Just take the exhaust off the line.....lol......

one of my closest friends owns a vs senator 215 stroked to 5.7L and hates life.

as soon as my friend gets his full license he'll be changing to turbo cars.. he can't stand v8's anymore.

i was a v8 boy back in the day. i put a deposit on a VQ statesman 5.0L... but cancelled within 3 days and got my liner. i'll never turn back! ;)

pros:

nice for long cruises on the freeway

boys like v8's

cons:

my friend spends $20 a day getting to work and back.. changing gears under 2k rpm

people say R33's are like boats? wait till you drive a holden..

interior has only minor upgrades from the vn/vp

not as customizable as a skyline

engine isn't cooling efficient, rev her out and expect problems

more money spent, less HP/kW gained

girls like turbos

at the end of the day, get what you want! :thumbsup:

Thats actually a really clean clubby mate...

However yourskyline would destroy it at the drags and around a track.

The 355 would certainly sounds pureporn!!!!

Id be sticking with the line mate.

I came from the Holden side....and it would take alot for me to go back!!!! :thumbsup:

^agree

Mate, i own both a 1966 mustang GT, and a 93 GTR. I have driven r33 gtst's as we have one in the family.

I love my V8 she is not only better looking that the GTR but gives me a buzz nothing else can.

HOWEVER the GTR is a car that goes around corners goes great in a straite line and still is a great looking motor car. (if i had to give one up i would be pulling my hair out, but at the end of the day the mustang would still be in the garage.)

Your r33 is a better looking car than that. And will handle much better and be quicker.

If your sick of the r33 maybe look at a GTR, or go for the v8. Keep in mind they are good for diffent things, V8's are burnout machines the best in the business. They also make cheap power and are much cheaper to buy most parts.

The liner is a better car, i wouldn't be handing over cash ontop of the car.

V8s are great, but thats the wrong car to own if you want a v8.

My 2 cents

In a few years to come....maybe 5 to 10 even earlier....when all the newer model cars have hit the road,,the VS

will look ancient and outdated, everyone will be looking at you as though you are causing all the Worlds

pollution problems.

The Skyline on the other hand is seen by many young and old of today as a iconic vehicle....

having purpose,style and character...having purpose(GTR) but yet being able to be driven daily.

Lets face it.....2 door..coupe..good lines etc etc etc....versus...4 door..sedan..boat shaped.

You are like comparing a track car to a shopping car.

Put them on the 1/4 mile...put them on the track.....skyline looks better..feels better..handles better...

and most of all gets the chicks...lol.

Keep your car...Its the real deal.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By Rezz · Posted

      Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.

      new 1.5 LSD issues/concerns

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
