lol, she isn't exactly the modifying type. i'd guess someone's done it. i can't stand the noise of an M3 engine, sounds so tinny. it'd be interesting to see what it would sound like with a couple of snails strapped to it

If she were to get the m3 she would then have to twin turbo it, wonder if anyone has done that yet?

That's sounds retarded to me. Apologies if you felt deep enthusiasm :blink:

IMO the sound is perfect. It's raspy and mechanical.

The engine is engineered to a very high standard. TTing it would mess up the linear power delivery. BUT it would be a good idea if you were only interested in affixing a big bulging pair of testes to the M.

my boss has a 135i on order. she was going to go the M3, but the 135i was about $45K cheaper. supposed to do 0-100 in 5.2 seconds.

ps M3 > 135i BUT $$$$$$$$

aristos are cool but they are all pretty much auto right?

They're a bit more than a turbo charged camry... Rear wheel drive and came out new at over 100 grand. They were built to compete with the mercedes M class and M5 bmw's at the time and were faster that BOTH. So value for money they are pretty awesome... The japs look after them better than the average nissan too - generally Aristo owners were more mature than silvia and line owners. It's not uncommon to find one with plastic on the seats!!!

Yeah they only came out as auto but personally I love my sleeper/cruiser. The sequential turbo delivery is beautiful - torque from idle... And the turbo's are bigger than stock gtr's. There's guys running around with over 260rwkw on stock turbo's and up to 300rwkw with wastegate mods and larger compressor wheel. Don't forget that's through an auto! Say hello to well over 400rwkw with a big single...

Cheers

Dude, If you cant afford teh petrol that the car drinks you cant afford teh car.

Manual 1jzgte JZX90 / JZX100 / JZX110

I had a Jzx90 and loved it but decided to modify a R33 to a drift car as aftermarket parts and spare parts a much easier to source and cheaper then the Jzx90.

If your never driven a standard manual Jzx90 / Jzx100 / Jzx110 with 1jzgte I recommend you try.

Every time I get out of my CLK55 AMG and get into the GTS4 I think

damn I should have just made the GTS4 ride a bit softer to make the wife happy!

Because, though the Merc has much more power, it handles like crap compared to

the HR32 GTS4 and I cant use it like I can in the Skyline which I feel more comfortable at any speed in.

As for the wifes Mazda Familia GTX, I often think why dont I sell the others and get this into the elevens! :D

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
