hi guys,

i used to own a 180sx about a year ago but sold it because of the peak oil prices , i got myself a honda jazz in auto because i am currently getting 450km per tank and it cost me no more than $50 for a full tank about 7l/100km.. after a year although it is saving me money on fuel and insurance... i miss driving my turbo car. seeing that the r33 series 2 are dropping around the same price as my jazz....what do you think is good?

1. sell my honda jazz and buy a r33 of my choice ( alot of options through forum and carsales )

( this will take more time of course)

2. swap for someone with a r33 that wants a jazz aswel

btw my jazz is a 2002 GLI 68k on the clock CVT AUTO

2 x 12" sony xplod sub, pioneer mp3 player, kicker front splits tweeters, rear kicker speakers, kicker 4ch amp, and audio barn monoblock amp, 15" tints

Yeah but atleast you'll have a daily, my daily (corolla) saves me a shot load of cash, but then parents pay rego and insurance while I pay fuel and servicing, also I remember there was a place Which was giving cash for cars and they'd give a few grand more than what it's worth, look it up you may get enough for the skyline and some mods or some new rims

i'd be surprised if the jazz is quite as valuable as you think...

yeah.. unlike R33 skylines hey?

if you want to swap your car, head over to boostcruising.com everyone is looking to sell or swap.

It's actually quite good place to swap.

Everyone is looking for something else..

i get atleast 450km before i fill it back up with $50 every tuesday night..... 550 if i really risk having to push it $60 in fuel???? i'd rather keep my gtst with similar fuel consumption.

Bloody honda adding so many extras to the car it makes it weigh a tonn and the engine struggles to pull it from a standing position....

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
