^X Type jag is the mondeo, not S type..

Still, do not want.

Toyota 4l V8 much better.

But I'm a little bias for the 4.4l V8 out of an E39 540i..... (220+rwhp stocky, Americans love them - Superchargers)

Had one, loved it. Can be had for low to high teens depending on colour, mods and kms.

You seriously think about soarer and S-Type Jags (Social suicide buying any of them)

Just buy 1998 TOYOTA CHASER JZX100 and be done with it :no:

Its Toyota and Import with decent looks

It got your 2.5 Turbo VVTI engine

Few Manuals available

and got 4 door and big boot

hahaha - oi be nice maclaren!

they're not all bad =)

but yes it you're right it pretty well is social suicide buying one - everyone assumes you listen to Dr Dre and wear a hat backward..

personally i think JZX100 is also social suicide now - these cars are getting to be the new S13! aaaand also their interior is pretty ... crud.

If you think imports are expensive to maintain try looking after a V8 Jag,

Did. Was only slightly more expensive than my S14 thus far and had it four times as long. Reliability was absolutely no problem. Just don't go to Jaguar. Downshire Motors on Waverly Rd is way better and specialise in new Jags (got all the computer software etc.). $400 for a major (110,000Ks) that Jag wanted $2,200 for. Sold it 'cause I couldn't stand the auto; otherwise, great car.

Not recomending you go get a big, automatic, luxury sedan but, if you do feel so inclined...

sounds like a supra auto -> 6spd conversion.

Correct.

Ugh I could think of anything worse than an S Type Jag - tarted up Ford Mondeo...

It actually shares a chassis with the Lincoln LS. Nothing to boast about but not a Mondeo (which was car of the year you may remember). They used the S-Type platform for the new XK and XF. The handling and rip your face off brakes suprised all passengers. They'd keep up with a good E46 anyday and probably outbrake all but an M3 (some serious anchors).

the jag you saw the other day and thought "man i don't see what's so special about jags":

...and the Japanese jaguar specialist tuning house J-complete's version of that car.

when i found out about these guys - i fell in love with jags :P

were selling one man, come around sometime next week i'll show you mine, and the one we're selling..

but honestly i wouldn't be so inclined to get a V8... emv system is too prone to failure, if i were your mum i'd be looking to a vvti late model 2JZ G-pack...

its not the V8 but full features but newer and without the "temperamental" features of the V8.. very economical too..

but yeah PM me and organise a time to come around next week

edit: 173km - thats nothing in terms of a V8.. the V8 soarers are mechanically reliable as an ox. it's just the electronic stuff i wouldn't trust!!!

I agree about the interior generally being average at best but i sure hope they don't become the new s13 although would be nice for a manual example to be reasonably priced

If you like that Jag, check this out:

S-Type

If you want bling, like Hummers and write "Only tasteful mods" in your carsales ads then maybe a Jag isn't for you. Great cars to drive though. And I'm not comparing them to a GTR, I'm comparing them to a V8 Lexslush. If you like the LS400 you'll like a modern Jag :P

Lol at the bucket of ass, that has to be the worst Jag ive ever seen.

personally i'd prefer a lexus... but only 2005 upward..

i'd own an SC430 before i'd have a lot of other cars!!!!

in further news, the other day i was looking at the intricate mods done on my car.. my fog lamps are from a jaguar XJR... wierd bloody japs..

edit: omg i just saw that car. what a bucket of spew.

    • Pressure when IDLING, is meant to be 51PSi... So that amperage value needs to go up a fair chunk... I'd personally be factoring for more like 12amp at least on those runs, and at that point you need to hope the already there wiring doesn't drop you a volt or two, as that's a lot of fuel pressure flow drop off from 13.5 to 12V! Taking idle pressure of 51psi, means the pump will be drawing a MINIMUM of 9amps all the time based on your reading of the graph (3bar base, then allowing an extra 0.5bar for boost = roughly 51psi)
    • Hi all,  I am in the market for an R200 longnose diff out of a Z31 300ZX, or S12 RSX, DR30 skyline, or similar, in a 3.9 ratio.  Preferably a late model one with the M12 crownwheel bolts.  The only easy to find advert for one of these was my ad back in 2007 when I sold it on this forum.  I sold the diff as I had sold the car it goes to, but as it turns out, after 18 years I got the car back late last year, so now I'm looking for the diff !  If anyone knows where to find a longnose R200 LSD with the M12 crownwheel bolts, drop me a line at [email protected] - Bonus paid if soomeone comes up with the original diff (stranger things have happened !).  Cheers   Ben D    
    • Hi everyone, I used to post here a bit from 2004-2013, when I owned various Nissans, in particular my S12 RSX gazelle, which was sold in 2007.  As luck would have it, after an 18 year hiatus, the car found its way back to me last year, and over the past 11 months I have had the pleasure of restoring it with my kids.  One thing that I am after in particular is a 3.9 ratio R200 LSD for it.  I actually sold the one out of the car here back in 2007 , and it would be incredible if I could track down who I sold it to, so I can see how they have progressed over the years (and to be honest, to see whether I can get the diff back !).  Anyways, hi all and let me know "where are the R200 Longnose diffs all at these days ?  Cheers Ben D  
    • Arms will be the same as the G35 or 350Z, but as above, there was a change in the lower control arm where it connects to the ball joint.  That said, you can remove the ball joint cone from your old ball joints and fit them to the new ball joints.  To be honest, I didn't think the ball joints themselves were different. The main ball joint is a bit awkward to replace, you really need to remove the steering knuckle to press out the old one.  Some people have used tools to remove it in place, but it just seemed too hard to get to. If you are going to press out/in that ball joint, then you may as well just replace the bushings in the LCA and the compression rod.  You can buy the compression rod bushing from Nissan, but the LCA bushes, you will need to go aftermarket. Much cheaper than buying the whole arm.
    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
