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.

    • The attached document is fine. I just downloaded & opened it.
    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated. Rb25det s1 walbro255 fuel pump nismo fpr holset hx35 turbo fmic 3" exhaust freddy intake manifold q45tb q45 maf   Re: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Fri Apr 12, 2013 5:07 am No, I didn't. I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
