Yeh of course just sayin if ya haven't seen one in real life it's far better than pictures an that

Think I've seen them, maybe the non AMG version not sure... I actually like the front, it looks pretty tough, but just not after a hatch...

I thought about a VW Sirocco or whatever they're called, they have a toughness about them, but still feel too much like a girls car to me

Not sure yet to be honest, had a quick look at the M3's and don't think they'll be in my price range... Could probably afford em but not sure I want to spend that much just yet.. Won't be in the market til next year though so we'll see..

Gonna be a tough call though, like I said not much really does it for me these days without spending big

I asked for "medium rare" eye fillet the other day and seemed to come out pretty well done :\ didn't really bother me as it was a company expense but still! should of said rare!

no you shouldn't... the fkn chef should be able to cook a steak.

you want med rare, you ask for med rare

problem with the VW sirocco R also is they are only front wheel drive..

same price as a golf R pretty much.. yet without that AWD kinda makes me think.. why did they bother.

exactly...

when I was looking around and thinking about a golf R as a compromise car I just couldn't bring myself to spend the coin on:

a) a car that costs a billion dollars per mod

b) a car that is no faster than an old stock evo

c) a car that detects any fun driving as an "emergency" and kills all power

Sounds like he is wanting prestige based on m3, c63, s5

Heck id say grab the new hsv clubsport/ gts best bang for buck you can get

he said he was thinking 34 R aswell but would spend too much modding it... i was kinda referring to that option.

EVO IX would be my pick...

can get ~260rwkw with basically e85, an exhaust, boost controller + tune which in an AWD car that weighs only 1400kg is pretty damn fast

beyond this the car loses response and starts to suck up dollars so they are easier not to mod than a GTR

a 34R will just end up being a 350+ rwkw moneypit if anyone in vic WL buys one. I know mine would

Do want something with some go...driving an excel/EA since selling my 33 so its been a long time between fun drives.

Leaning more towards prestige/euro... 34 gtr would be good but they're 13 years old now...

As far as evos go they've never really done it for me generally speaking, but if I were to get one I'd say the 8 shape is more to my liking over the 10.

Cars are just shit these days, maybe I should get a Panigale....

Will be properly looking into these supercharger kits for the 86 on Monday. From what I gather: 4-5k fitted, ADR complianced and engineered, all bolt on components with ecu reflash. 170rwkw without an exhaust on conservative boost; not uncommon to get 210rwkw from an exhaust and a little more boost. In a great handling 1200kg rwd, that's good/dangerous fun!

    • What copper washer do you guys use on the bleeder bolts? The existing one I have I had no idea where to find it in a local store, I did buy some online but that are only 1mm thick whereas my old one is 2mm+ thick and when I put the new washer out and squeeze the top radiator hose I can hear a bit of air but not with the old one. Does this matter? The new one doesn't leak, but the inner diameter is a bit loose whereas the old one threads on the bolt.
    • Howdy all, after being out a few weeks ago on a spirited drive in my GTR I have 2 issues that oddly have appeared at the same time. Whilst accelerating quickly through the gears all of a sudden i’ve lost power at the top of third gear (below redline around 6000rpm) for no obvious reason.    From that point onwards the car has been running rich on idle, won’t really rev under load without a ton of black smoke and the odd backfire, and dying as a pull up to a set of lights unless I keep the revs up around 1500rpm. In addition when shutting down the car that same night (I was 10 minutes from home) I noticed one of the turbos was significantly noisy on wind down when shutting off the engine. After letting the car cool down overnight it starts up fine, although once it gets to temp the revs start to creep up and down, the exhaust is darker than it should be and it also sounds like it’s running rich (fat note) I’ve put a new set of plugs in it - no change, the old plugs all seemed OK with two of them being somewhat richer/fueled up than the other 3 with 1 being borderline. I’ve smoked tested the intake system via the front of the Turbos, found a split vacuum hose going to the factory boost gauge sender, which I have since replaced.  Also found another leak on the gasket coming off the rear turbo outlet, have also replaced this. After fixing both of these leaks - still have the running rich issue. I’ve also tried another pair of AFM’s - no change here After pulling off the front turbo intake pipes, there is obvious shaft play in the front turbo, which now hisses loudly on light revvs although I can’t see why this would make the car run funny even under idle. I’m curious to know why it’s running rich before I potentially replace/rebuild turbos. The car is completely stock <50,000kms  other than an exhaust. Oil and coolant are all clear. I haven’t bothered with coil packs as it looks like they won’t be the issue due to condition of the plugs. Any help appreciated as I cry myself to sleep!
    • No probs at all. I used to love trying to dig up obscure info for those in need where possible going back 20+ years on SAU.  I did have another look and couldn't come up with any closer match. I'm leaning towards those skirts in your first pic are custom fitments, cut down/extended or from another car entirely and modded to fit an R34 sedan. I would've thought someone in Japan had them and taken a photo at some stage over the last 2 decades but there's nothing. Someone out there must know surely.
    • Welcome mate. Any pics? Even with a DE I'd be well happy if I had that as a 1st car.
