Z4 sucks unless its the hardtop ones even then needs to b an M or something.

They suck for space too boot doesn't exist and a4s are just nasty unless it's te new model full specced

more for style than performance. not fussed over space either aslong as im comfortable...

Good idea. I was heading down this exact path a while ago...still haven't ruled it out. Have you driven one yet? I was never a huge fan until I test drove one. They feel like a big go kart, nice and tight, very capable feeling and easy to drive, fun little car. Only thing I gave my Skyline over it was the performance factor. Obviously a lot harder to extract that out of the Honda, but they do alright as a standard car. I think S2000s have dropped in value as much as they are going to. Keeping in mind they were an 80k car brand new, you can now pick them up between 20 and 30, it's a bargain. Try and get one with a glass rear window rather than the perspex.

Nah, I haven't driven one, but from what I've heard of people who own them they are great cars to own. I've owned two Honda Preludes and for a front wheel drive, n/a car they are quite fun to drive. I think it's good to see that they are holding their value since you can get a 350z or rx8 for about the same price even though they are both newer. The only thing holding me back is the lack of power but from what I've seen they aren't that slow. I'm getting to the point where I want something that is nicer to drive, more economical, more reliable but still great fun.

Yep, any criticism I've heard about them has usually been from people who haven't driven them, which is just dumb.

Like all Hondas they hold their value well (look at the CRX). And unlike the Z, there is nothing to supersede them, so that's probably another reason. They aren't slugs, just nothing you'd go dragging turbo imports with. I would have thought the 9000rpm engine would have you wringing it to move anywhere, but they have no trouble moving along in the daily traffic. Anyway, like I said, go drive one and see what you think...but I reckon you'll choose one over your Skyline if you don't mind spending the money on a 10-12 year old car.

yea? they look roomier than s2k's and i fit fine in them but i'll check one out and see how it goes

But do you really want to drive a slow car :D I bet when some P plater in a XR6 turbo rocks up next to ya and smokes you off the lights your going to wish you had gotten a GTR, or a M3 or something :P You should totally get a new Ford GS.. absolutely amazing cars for the $$

And yes I've been in a s2k nice cars but seemed a bit slow (in a straight line at least) and too small for my liking.

he/she would only smoke me if i actually raced him/her :) its only a cruiser, if i wanted to smoke cars at the lights i'd get a 3 grand vl turbo and spend the rest on the engine...

im definitely getting an e46 m3 its one of my favourite cars of all time just cant justify spending that kinda cash atm. not going over 30k.

Yeah fair enough, it all comes down to what you actually want from the car just make sure your certain when you decide! Only thing I hate about my car is the age really.

And nah just keeping the R figure I'll just save for a nice cruiser sooner or later and use the R for track / weekend - really loving the Ford GS but saving for a road bike first :P

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
