So,

if you either have to sell the skyline to upgrade or downgrade - what would you get?

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

The mx5 - well I dont see myself replacing that for a few years, however my daily - 1995 bluebird I cannot wait to get rid of!

Im looking to buy my old mans VXii Berlina V6 - so comfy, 80k on clock, immaculate condition!

Im sick of manual for daily driving in traffic!

so whats your next car going to be??

I just bought a 32 GTR

but I dont know how practical it is for daily driving its more a weekend car for me :)

so might get and 2nd car that I dont have to worry about too much when parked or in shopping centres.

maybe a s13 non turbo manual :)

can have a little fun on a track with it aswell

If i was to sell the 32 i'd prob get a supra tt or possibly an evo 7,8,9. Always loved the supras. I've got a sprinter for a 2nd car and its alright. Stock 4ac atm though so its gutless but can still have a bit of fun. Is much better on fuel than the 32 also. Cant wait to do an engine conversion on it :)

im thinking a falcon ute once the fail-line is finished...need a good car to tow with as im not confident using the cressida for big trips with 2 ton of racecar and trailer hanging off the back....

Or a Toyota Aristo...mmmm 2jz + luxury + towing ability = win

R34 GTT or R33 GTR or if cbf with imports I'll probably grab one of the million SS como taxis floating around.

or if you need a new daily driver? what are you going to get? and why?

My current R33 makes a great daily driver, if I were to change to a local car then again proabably be one of those 2000 model SS commos seems to be the only thing with decent power for <$10k other than more imports. Also has 4 doors & a big boot for shopping duties.

so whats your next car going to be??

Probably a R34 GTT.

If we win a decent amount but not rediculous on tatslotto. Then an R35 gtr and an Audi family car.

Otherwise. If i was to change the family car. Maybe a newer model statesman or something along those lines. Really wouldn't worry me as I don't get much enjoyment out of driving them.

I may get rid of the R33 gts-t one day. Most likely if I ever get another performance car I will save up and wait another 20 years for my planned midlife crisis and get something more exotic and leave it standard.

Unless I win the jackpot I have no intentions of buying a new car in the near future for hobby purposes.

WAS going to be sooner rather than later but priorities change once you buy property...

in <2 years either keep my current car & buy an r34 GTR for trackdays

OR sell both cars i own & get an R35

OR if the stars align & I get hunkered down then a sedan of some description for a family, possibly a v36 sedan if they eventually approve them for import

yes I am a one eyed datsun fanboi

I own 2 Skylines; a R33 GTS and now a R33 GTR Vspec. Both of which have been modifyed to the point where they are no longer practical cars to drive everyday.

I have always wanted a daily driver V8 and what better choice than a FPV BF MKII GTP semi-auto. I'd have to go for the auto option because, living in Syndey has made me realise that, no one in sydney ever 'drives' to thier destination.....they simply 'crawl' to it as the traffic and road quality in Sydney is disgustingly bad. Driving manuals through Sydney traffic is a painful experience (especially with a twin plate clutch), the 6 speed auto offered by FPV just gives the best of both worlds.

With that said, I think a comfy Aussie V8 with a lazy 6 speed auto tranny would have to be the next vehicle of choice. Its got a great sound, its comfy as, the parts a cheap and available from everywhere and now that I'm 25+ I won't have any problems getting insurance as I did with the Skylines.

......maybe a nice Defillipo quad tip exhaust to go with it :P

    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
    • Hi.. Just another problem. So maybe you can help. I(my mechanic) done swap from my RB20DE NEO to RB25DET NEO. Everything is OK but we have a boost cut. Coils/Plugs are ok...AFM is ok. ECU is ok. I have Walbro 255 but it "changed" sound few months ago(you can hear it ouside) you did not hear that when it was new(maybe faulty?) Sooo...what now? What can cause this boost cut? It is even when you standing still...
