Nooo Nark, ok something new but not the Rex, get EVO 1 or 2 instead, GSR....or Familiar Gtr any of these on my list will nail a Rex easy.......oh yeah Godzilla Junior the Pulsa Gti-R..

Don't know why i hate the Rex but yeah i drove me mate's one before and they goes alright but not midrange and top end though.

Anyway sad to see you leave OUR SKY but like you said you'll be back.:)

hehe i would love an EVO4 thats the evo i reaaaally like but they arent that easy to come by and they arent that cheap... plus they are getting on a bit... im going for something no older than 5 years so that pretty much rules out most imports i love that i can actually afford.

its just a phase im guessing.... time to try other things for a little while until i get another liner :)

just keep the 32!! the WRX aren't that crash hot. I've driven one, cheap feeling throuughout - but they do go ok, and are quite fun. I think it would get a bit dull after a while though driving every day. They make a lot of noise which makes them seem faster than they are, but they're not as fast as a skyline I didn't feel (well a nice 33 anyhow :))

why waste the time or money on a rex just for that short period of time if you really want a 34?.. a rex will still cost you at least $20k anyhow, insurance costs will rape you, etc

the wrx im looking at has quite a number of mods on it already... but yes dave i did say this a while ago when i wanted to get a GTR but decided against it and kept my car... i will miss it ive got quite attached to it.

wouldnt mind an S15 for a while.... bit more expensive but i wont be keeping it for long so wont lose much on it when i sell :)

yeah go the wrx, because you'll buy it for a certain price with whatever mods, then in 6 months you will lose say around $1000 when you sell so it really doesnt matter, unlike if you were to buy an s15 with say exhaust bleed valve whatever, it'll lose more value quicker than an older my 98-99 wrx

Ok Nark has decided i think, oh well instead of loosing a SECOND to Josie, now TWO :( ( with the Rex ) only kidding.

DONT forget their Tranies are very FRAGILE Nark. The guy at my work has pump out 220@wheel but along the progress he has about 3 tranies go walk about.

You can't launch them Hard either, after all Nark, PULSAR GTi-R man, quad throttle, chain driven, attessa. Bolt on some HKS blower or even a T04E and you'll run 12.

Consider man.:D

lol west yeah i know how quick a GTiR is but they are also butt ugly and old... defeats the purpose of something new :(

dont worry i know the WRXs have a shite drive train and u cant launch it hard but im not going to be using it for drags.... i want to take it around my uncles farm do a bit of 4WD rallying and drive it up thru the hills.

That's just like me... i can't decide b/n Evo6, MY04 WRX, GTR 33 or GTT 34..... Not that I'm in a rush, but I want something new, yet affordable and powerful.

The Skylines are at the top of my list though:bahaha:

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
