R34s are still over priced and at 50k you are probably getting the higher k ones, the higher k ones are starting to show up pretty often for rebuilds now so factor in that too!

Just had a quick look and 45k will get you a new SS Commodore, Ford 6 turbo or an XR5 Mondeo...

The 34 won't depreciate nearly as badly as a new car. May aswell by an 08/09 Commodore/Ford and save yourself 15k.

I've already got an 05 xr6, I really want to get into a gtr; something different than the old taxi. I don't really give two shits about the depreciation on the skyline, it'll be something I'll keep for a number of years to come which is why I was thinking a 34 gtr or a rebuilt 32 like the one that's for sale on here at the moment.

Bunta, what do you mean by alot of them are coming in for rebuilds? Any particular reason or do they kick the bucket after 100k or so?

Buy this one

Very well priced for what you get.

I don't know of any specific problems with the 34, I assume they will have the same problems as the 32s and 33s being poor oil control and ceramic turbos dying.

They shouldnt kill oil pumps like the earlier 32s though since they have the bigger oil pump drive on the crank. Other than that I'm not sure.

Oil control is the main one

Bingo!

And that is a damn well sorted 32 there!

I know right! 2.8 + 2530s = Drool

I considred a HKS 2.8 after talking to Dave Chilton, He bloody loves them, Claims they are the best kits he has seen and when he puts them in the balancing rig most of the time they need none or very very little. Sadly the budget didnt reach that far as the kits are dear as poison and my turbos would not have suited any more so even more $$ :)

Yeah 10k for crank, rods and pistons is a bitter pill to swallow. If I was to do a stroker it would be a toss up between the HKS and Jun. The Jun cranks are work of art and the lightest of the stroker cranks from the info I can find on em. They weigh the same as the stock crank.

Yeah they would be another great option *sigh* needs more money!

In other news...I think my non stroker engine is getting tuned today, if not today very very soon.

Awesome news :) When is it coming to Baskins?

Wouldn't mind going a 30DETT either. If there is a way to get the bonnet to close properly etc that's the way I would go.

yeah i considered that too, but yeah the whole bonnet closing thing didnt appeal and once again i would have been up for new turbos! I will just have to be happy with what i got until i get rich!

You guys is idiots sometimes.

You want to overtake the whoretown thread... but you keep posting in it!

Lol I thought that as well. Won't make much difference though :)

Yeah bonnet closing thing would piss me off I think. Need to win lotto. Or rob a bank. Or become a politician...

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.

      Rear Sway Bar Busshings - Holden Astra TS (2002)

      I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.

      I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
