32gtr......

Look i love skylines, i breathe them...

But fk me man, they don't come close to the refinement of a RS4.

Ye i could spend 100k on a GTR and have it taking me into orbit... I'd still have a RS4 given the chance.

Agreed.

You could spend half a million dollars on an R32 GTR and have one of the quickest cars on the planet, yet at the end of the day an Audi R8, E92 M3 etc are still going to be the better cars. It aint just about being the fastest in a straight line or having the quickest possible time around a track, there is a hell of a lot more to top end cars than that.

Who says most Ferrari owners don't come off as stuck up tossers, no idea what they are on about.

Another reason to buy a Euro over Jap, No one can beat them in passenger safety.

Awesome thing to say in a thread about some one dying in a Jap car.

sticks and stones mate

Similar dilema to myself when I sold my 34 gtr...what did I get...E46 M3.

335 is nice but just isn't an M3. RS4 has changed shape a few times now and looks a bit 'normal'. TT is just too small in the back seat. 996 is an enthusiast car but the missus hated it.

I sold the M3 now and guess what I am thinking of.....guesses...no....2001 34 GTR V spec 2...back to the darkside.

Why...well your list scares me to touch...the GTR has this marvellous site to help with parts and issues cheaper.

Personally I wouldn't buy Euro, I work on the stuff everyday and it makes me laugh how people pay ludicrous amounts for basically very poorly made crap.

That aside :down: i would get the Porsche, only one out of the lot I would even consider.

According to a Cars Guide (DTM) Motoring Editor...

"Regardless of whether you are male or female, you'll spend 10% of your time selecting a car (by design as much as performance/comfort) of your choice; and then 90% of your time to justify it! :(

Your thoughts?

totally agree...

and i just dont get the fezza thing... the italians aren't any better at making cars than anyone else, they are just better at telling people they are the best... just like their boring ass cuisine

i dont hate all expensie cars.... I would definately splash the cash for a GT3 rs :(

Id say i spend about 2 % selecting it, 50% thinking about modding it 10% actually modding it, 30% fixing it 8% jerking off over it..

Lifes to short for justification.... :)

I think as you get older you appreciate things more and hence I'd live a ferrari but I'm still a kid at heart so GTR is simple fun.

Don't forget insurance if you are the wrong age.

Ever consider something like an STI liberty or an Alfa GT with your range anyway.

Well basically it looks as if I'm being rat-f**ked into the getting the TTS *awaits tidle wave of laughter* yes you guessed it, it has come down to "what car looks better" to the Mrs.

Currently she says

BMW E46 M3 "Looks dated, interior sucks"

BMW E92 335i "Likes a lot, but looks like an old mans car from the back"

Audi B7 RS4 "Old mans car, has four doors, wtf are you thinking"

Audi 8J TTS "Fantastic LOOKING car, wow I love these (even though your face is screwed up when you mention lack of performance"

Porsche 996 Carrera "I like them, not fussed either way"

I even threw the SLK 350 AMG into the mix today as we parked next to one......she said "What the hell is that, it's tiny"

I've tried saying we can get her a nice cheaper TT that's not Quattro (to apease the 'looks' issue) and me getting something more on the awesome side...but it's being vetoed hard at the moment.

I've suggested we just do the rounds of the showrooms and go for some test drives and see what we can agree on.

She's not a massive fan of my car that's for sure, I got an ear bashing today because of it's noticeable performance increase since she got in it last week, bloody human dyno I tell ya!!!!

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
