a little off topic,.

but how is the "performance" or a 1.3lt Jazz? is it a zippy little thing? and if say you had a boot full of shopping and 3 people in the car is it sluggish / irritatingly slow?

Ive been looking at getting one of these but was swaying more towards the 1.5ltr vtec engine. Not only because of the slightly larger engine but also because of the paddle shifts(in auto).

The 1.3 jazz is pretty good. have carried 3 other people in the car along with boot load of weekend gear - and has been very very good interms of zip. paddle shift would help in auto, but if you are going 1.3 go manual - its much better, more fun :D

emsta thanks,

unfortunatly buying a manual isnt an option as my fiance cant drive manual.

Did you test drive a 1.5ltr before deciding on the 1.3ltr?

I should just wait until I am back in australia and able to test drive both, im just too excited though and want to start looking at cars on carsales.

yeah thats cool man - i test drove both. 1.5 was good, but bought 1.3 cos it was just a wee bit better with petrol. Ideally best to wait till u get back, then you can test both and then go for it.

My thing is that if its just commuting aroudn the little streets, then 1.3ltrs is more than enough. Even fwy driving, its enough - however its better in manual. If you want auto - then chances are you will go the 1.5 cos its got more power and mates to the auto tranny better

lol nah man not selling the line yet! jazz is still up for sale though.

I did think about selling both and gettin a 4x4, but right now, being 27 and not married or with kids, i think the 4x4 will be a waste. Im better of having the jazz instead of the the 4x4 - as it is cheaper to run.

Hey mate its up to you but for me its easy, because the way i look at is, the second that you are born the time in your life starts ticking away, your here on this earth for a good time and not a long time, so have some fun do what ya want and live mate. I bought an r34gtr nur that cost me a fair bit and put the house on the back burners, now i am just going to have some fun with it, cruises, track days e.t.c

Mate have fun and do what makes you happy, thats what i don anyway, lol, butt too expensive

now im thinking i go for the cheaper house

say house is 160k

land is 150k

bank will see it as 310k loan (if approved)

but land is actually 120k

so total 280k

less home owners grant of 26k - equals to 254k for house

leaving about 56 for the loan remaining. Sell skyline for 13k - gives me about 69k

get a nice daily :O

you would be stupid to sacrifice that $ for a skyline

its much better in the house, but your call

and depending on the loan you get

they wont just give you $55k change to spend on whatever you like

get a nice daily :D

invest it in something else

haha nah....the excess will actually just be paid back - basically it will look like a gain on the house regardless......oh and the r33 is staying for a couple of years longer :D

    • A bit late but A disk S13P fit over stock R32 GTR brakes, usually A disk front, O disk rear works.
    • Or, the height of the release bearing is not correct for your combo. Start with the bleeding and checking the slave moves throughout its range when you press the pedal (2 person required), but it is possible for the height to be internally wrong too (box back off to measure.
    • Yes, there's quite a few things that can go wrong during a clutch install. Very unlikely. I have a similar clutch. They (ACS) make good gear. No, it is not normal. It is possible that you just need to bleed the clutch slave. But the new clutch will also have a more aggressive actuation force/pressure, and so your old slave cylinder might be a bit leaky or otherwise compromised, and not up to the extra force required. Or the master cylinder, same.
    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that
