:bs!:  

:throwup:  

haha.  

sorry dan. VL interiors are DATED.

*does box man dance*

Alex

The 32 is Dated from all angles..... hhahahahha and 33 are like commodores now.

So better buying a VL turbo - heaps cheaper insurance, the calais turbos are quite rare and the rb26 will chop the fark out of about 99% of gtst out there.....

No brainer.

Dan

hahaha I love the "r33s are like commodores" comments hahaha

considering Holden Australia sell something like 50,000 commodores a year, and lets say you're working on the last 5 years, that'd be 250,000 commodores.

I sincerely doubt there are even 50,000 R33s in Australia. So your comment is illogical.

Please in future try to stick to reality, by making sensible comments with FACTUAL information.

with the exception of the GTR and the occasionally tastefully done up R33, I think what the post was referring to was the fact that R33 are as common an option as a commodore to your average high performance car buyer.

Add to this fact that you see at least 12 R33's a day compared to maybe 1 R32 or R34 (that is if you're not on an SAU cruise in which case you see 50 or so).

There's probably a fine line about exaggeration that was crossed in that post, but I think it's safe to say that other than the exceptions stated above, R33's are very quickly becoming the next VL or camry, in the eastern states at least.

Thanks for clarifying Funky.

Listen in all honesty, and I dont mean to stir the pot - BUT r33 are everywhere these days - and thats not to say there not good cars - its just to say that they have become very common. 2 or 3 years ago they were rare ( I can still remember when I had mine and we had cruz's - there was me, joe, troy, chris, adam, dan, ken, brett, allan and a hand full of others) and between our group 70% of skylines were represented in Perth. Thing is you dont see many NICE r33 these days - you see rough examples that are tastlessly done up.

In all honestly I wont buy a car with a rb25 in it again, so from my experience I was suggesting a car which still weight less than a r33 (or about the same), has a far superior motor (rb26 conversion) , will cost less to insure, will have that rarer sleeper look and at the end of the day will hand the r33 its ass (99% of them anyway). Also with some suspension mods will handle just as well and will probably have better rear traction.

So if ask me - i would say go the VL Calais with rb26.

Dan

Chicks love the Skyline .. hahhahahaa

if your buying a car cause the chicks dig it your a NOOB. ;->

You buy a car cause it excites you, because its enjoyable to drive, etc .....

The "it gets them wet factor" is a bonus, not a prerequist.

Dan

yer but its part of the package, thats what im saying Dan :D

a rb26 calais doesnt have anywhere near the "wet" factor as a skyline :) you might pick up a couple of bogan chicks that will eventually say omg its not a v8 :(

skyline, still has balls, still has class, still has "leg opener" factor and they sound great :P there are so many because they are good cars... all you have to do is make yours different to everyone elses and ppl love it... plus you have your own car with its own look :(

Hahahhahaa OK champ - i dont agree but you make a good point ;0>

Just a quick question - how many roots you pulled since you got your skyline??????

and the count is 1 so far

could be 2 but this chicks a whore and i dont know if i wanan touch her

:D

hahhahahhhhaha classic

And image if you had a decent car - would be at least 2 or 3 higher.....

just joking ....

Dan

hahaha

it was pretty insane there for a while dan when i got my car but now i have a gf :P shes alright :(

but i knew her before the car but the fact that i got a nice car and random chicks are constantly waving at me when she is in the passenger seat just makes her feel good :(

    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
    • On the bright side, the weather will turn much nicer for working outside shortly....sounds like you might need to start on a neighbour's garden next
    • Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
