I'll break it down (R34 non turbo)

Fast = no (on par with current 4 cylinder camry)

Handling = good

Braking = good

Interior space = average, roughly the size of a late 90s subabru liberty, but the skyline's (sedans) boot is huge.

Value for money = bad, the car is from the late 90s and prices are still high.

Style = each to their own - but I personally still find them very attractive in this day and age.

Fuel consumption = Average 11 to 12L/100km mixed

Insurance = Bad, expensive for such an old car with not that much performance

Aftermarket Parts = Good, lots of parts available

Wear/tear parts and Servicing = Average, nothing special it's a "normal car", parts can be bought from Nissan dealerships for a reasonable price, sometimes cheaper than elsewhere.

D*ckhead attention = bad, every man and his dog wants to race you..... you will lose

Cop attention = Debatable, keep it reasonably stock looking, non-riced and no cannon exhaust, it's OK.

Buy an NA Supra with an LSD, don't spend a cent on it, enjoy it for what it is and sell it once you're off your P's.

People will go on about how you should just save all your $$ till your off your Ps, but if you need a car when you're on your Ps may as well get something decent, thats done the worst of its depreciating already and is reliable.

The key is to NOT modify your NA car, and just enjoy it as a nice A to B daily.

if you want a fun car for on your P's that wont depreciate like shit, old corollas are where its at.

i had an ae71 with a 4age, went like stink and handled great. sold it for a couple hundred less than what i paid for it and by then it had no reverse

performance wise they would both beat the liberty (i've owned both, and my sister in law had a 3rd gen) as well as a natro skyline. i would actually keep the liberty over a natro skyline. might not have as much power on a dyno, but in real world performance it would be as fast, if not faster.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
