maybe i like the specs

maybe i like the look

maybe i got a deal i couldn't refuse

maybe i just don't car about pretentious gtr elitists

maybe i DO care and want to flaunt my horrid non GTR abomination in their faces

maybe i always wanted a skyline and couldn't afford an R

maybe it was a cheaper option that similar RWD cars to reach my goals

maybe it was given to me

maybe i needed a 33 gtst to fill in my collection of every skyline ever made

maybe it was the platform i was after for modification purposes

maybe i race in a specific category

maybe i had prior knowledge of RB's and wanted to build it myself

maybe i have a contact for cheap parts

maybe its because parts are more common that other models

maybe i like the masses of aftermarket parts available

maybe i like the aftermarket support available

maybe i saw one at the lights and decided that "i just need one of those"

maybe i had a bet with a mate

maybe i had a competition with a mate

maybe its for insurance purposes as i'm age x and cant get a twin turbo insured

maybe my parents wouldnt spring for a twin, but would purchase me a single

shall i keep going?

:) Yup--if you don't mind that is ?

maybe we could make this a sticky ?.

maybe I find rwd just plain more fun to drive.

- just thought I'd get in the spirit of things. :D

Cheers.

AWD is for people that cant control their right foot....and of course RWD is more fun...

I prefer RWD, but there are other RWD cars out there.

I'd probably still get an S14a if I was looking for a similarly aged RWD turbo sports car. It's lighter and more nimble, and the aftermarket support is just as good. The engine won't make as much power, but there's less mass to move around.

if i wanted a R id buy one, to the dismay of most GTR drivers, not everyone wants their car. if i included labour i wouldnt be too far off what ive spent on my 32 to what a stock 34 GTR would set me back, and certainly by the time im done ill get at least to that point, probably past it.

I bought a set of new Enkei RP03 's fitted, balanced and new wheel nuts 17x8 40 offset, 114.3 stud pattern, wieght 8.14kg, they cost $1200 fitted an balanced. this was actualy less bucks than I'd been quoted for Drifteks.

Came across these, wonder about the price though ?

they're a really nice wheel but those specific ones you've linked to were sold to another aus300zx member as mentioned in the thread, also avoid anything being sold by 'zx2nv' like the plague as he went underground a while back owing aus300zx members $10-20k!

jEEZ , nice sort , didn't read the thread , my bad :D , was rather a comment on the ask for a set of second handy RP03's--was his dissapearance resolved ?

he ended up re-advertising them for $1800 the lot (rp03's + toyo's) about a month later & they were snapped up very quick, so yeah I think your right about the initial price being a touch high.

as for his disappearance it all went very quiet & was never fully disclosed on the forum, a number of people ended up trying to chase him up via the cops/courts & I guess they just didn't want to discuss it.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
