Want a nice engine rumble and the electronics of a Japanese car? Buy a Subaru and chuck an exhaust on it :) buy my Liberty *hint hint*

I've been a passenger in a VR 5.0L and I have to say it was pretty boaty compaired to my stock Skyline. If you want a car to leave rubber on the road, get the V8. If moving is your thing, the Skyline does quite well :yes:

Pffft, Commodore - shame on you, Greg!

Buy a Stagea - you know you want to...

Seriously, imagine owning and driving a Commodore at an event like the Texikhana - it would be a shocker. My cousin used to have a VN SV89, and it spent more time in the shop than on the road, constantly breaking stuff - gearboxes (upgraded to Corvette bands in the auto), power steering, etc.

That's not to say that Skylines don't break stuff too, but they're a much better engineered car from the ground up, and will surely handle some punishment with less problems.

come on greg... remember wen i took u for a drive down my street? it took me like 30 seconds to pick up lol... remember?

now think of wat u will get with the commonwhore??? either nothing or bogan chicks from i dunno cronulla...

besides uv already had a commonwhore...

Another thing... I was talking to a mate of mine who owns a V8 Commonwhore, he just did his cams... so his mod list is: Cams, zorst.

I asked, 'so what's next in line?', he goes, 'I dunno man, that's about it... I think I'm done...'

I was like... well that must have been fun...

well if you like V8 noise (who doesn't) and have a keen interest in burnouts, smoke shows, dohnuts, stoppies and any other gay name for turning tyres then the commodore is the winner. it will have modest power, but that will be plenty to overwhelm the crappy suspension geometry and the nankangs. so you can smoke some crap rubber whenever you please. but the interior is low rent, the body looks very ordinary steering feels like it's being done by remote control and the gearbox is crap. apart from that it's a lovely automobile.

if you want something cool and V8 get a nice charger, or a VL group A walkinshaw plastic pig some thing that actually looks and sounds kick ass.

yidz .. u get the point

I know what you are trying to say but its personal opinion. Its very rare for me to say I like a 33 as I don't really like many apart from GTR / tidy GTR look a likes. You would buy this car for a completely different reason you would have an R33. You can't even begin to compare them.

Hell yeah. The problem is they are just a tad more expensive than $20k. Plus you wouldn't wanna drive it everyday :w00t:

The HSV, whilst being fairly rare, could be used as a daily driver and not have to worry about it too much.

If you want a commodore and skyline power just got get a nice vl calais with an rb25 conversion (or rb26 conversion if you can find one)

It will still handle like a pillow though, but at least in a straight line it will go ok

Ok after being verbally bashed for starting this thread and a good nights sleep on the matter i have decided to keep the 33 as i also don't want to have to change forums. And as sam pointed out last night on our trip through mccarrs creek 'you think this handles like a boat . . . . '

Thanks for the help guys

2-way coming up!

altho if the day comes i will agree to get a vs like the one u were looking at to use as tow cars for out GTR track cars :D

i knew u werent serious greg... i mean common u love the 33. i can tell... plus if u had the vs, u wont be able to go around round-abouts with ur front wheels in the inner lane and the rears in the outer lane for 2 complete cycles :w00t:

    • Man, different parts but the same numbers is terrible @dbm7! And it doesn't help that most online shops don't list the part numbers at all. They just give a list of compatible models...
    • Slow when hot could also be because its getting more dynamic compression, OR things are getting a bit tighter once it is all expanded. If it were an earthing issue, typically I'd expect you to have it have issues all the time. Unless it's really a combination of both things. Where the higher compression, and things being a bit tighter, is giving that bit of extra load and you do need a slight clean up on the cables/connections.
    • Yeah, this is one of the most annoying things about nissan part numbers... I've got an unrelated example... Image is of the AT output shaft ~ they have the same part#, but clearly the shaft on the left is beefier design to that on the right ...the difference (essentially) is the 'lighter' shaft on the right, is for engines up to RB25DE (this includes RB20 variants) : the shaft on the left is for RB25/26DET(T)....are they interchangeable? Yes...but obviously one shaft is going to be stronger than the other...and, the lighter shaft is around USD115, but the heavier shaft closer to USD150...same part#... ...epc-data usually tells a tale ~ the amayama listing for 39100-23U60 has a note "Longest side is between 60 and 105 cm" ; no such info is there for 39100-23U70 ...and given the great disparity in price between the 2 parts, it makes me at least curious (to the point of caution) where the 'extra money' went? ...ie; these 2 parts have a cost difference that (to myself at least) isn't explained by 'plastic boot'...ie; with amayama there's AUD700 price difference ...plastic versus rubber?...I'm not seeing it like that...and 60cm ~ 105cm...??...that's a huge disparity....something hinky going on here... I'd try searching by VIN, not model... /2cents
    • I don't know for sure, but I'd expect them all to be interchangeable given the diff end and hub end don't move/change between any C34 series. Often Nissan will change part numbers and the aftermarket follows those year ranges; but the original part number change doesn't mean other parts won't fit. The change could be a change in material, internal parts or even just supplier. For example, all the RB gearbox to engine bolts are no longer available and there is a new part number instead. The only change is they went from cadmium plated bolts to zinc plated due to the issues manufacturing with Cadmium. They look different but work the same.
    • One year is a bit concerning. Did you try contacting GSP? It says 5 year warranty on the box if I remember correctly. I'm also running their driveshafts on my S2 Stagea.   You could check the part numbers on Amayama for your year. Here's the link for my 1998 which gives the 39100-23U60 part number. Well, that and 39100-23U70. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/trans/391 What does it say for yours?
