It seems to be so hard to make decision between getting an r33 skyline or a 180sx. They both seem to be able to go very hard.

180's seem to be becoming very popular

I read the forums and alot of people are selling their skylines to get a 180sx, i am not sure why ?

Any suggestions anyone?

What turns me off the 180 is the cabin space..

ive never been in one but my best mate and his gf went in one and they said it waz EXTREMELY small inside...

also the skyline has the style :D

IMO

Even though i think the 180 is a cool car, id pick a Skyline over it most of the time...

the above suggestion with the rb25det in a 180sx sounds cool tho! :D

AM NOT!

diabolik1 - delete your sent items.

chillgoon,

i LOOOVED my skyline so much, but insurance was a problem as i am saving for a house. the 180 is completely different to drive. the 180 responds well to less mods (ie would take a LOT less to make a 180 an 11 second car than an R33 gtst). Cabin space is muchly reduced in the 180 as is interior quality - its a lot more plastic than the skylines interior... but, for a fair bit less, its still a VERY good car.

and yes - thats my goal - 11 seconds.

Pranks got it about right,,,,Insurance,,,Insurance.....Seems to me most people buying Skylines have incorporated their 1st years Insurance into the car loan,,,then get a rude shock when renewal time comes around.

Hows the house hunting going Prank,,,see your already modding the little baby,,,,naughty boy........

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      It shouldn't swell like that, (just looked it up) it should say SAE J30R10

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
