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.

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
