: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 :(

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

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 :(

    • Are you suggesting that the kit did a cheap and nasty job of just jamming the wheel in between other things and caused the misalignment? I mean, we normally do this with an integrated crank trigger wheel, not something bodged on. It's not 1995 any more.
    • I mean, given the number of BMWs you own their tolerance for improper torque is rather low. The number of torque + angle spec bolts and non-reusable bolts in one is nuts.
    • Atmospheric vent requires something that doesn't use a MAF for load. You would need a standalone ECU for that.
    • Hey all,   I’ve got an RB25 with a trigger kit that includes a crank wheel, and I’ve hit a wall trying to sort a timing belt tracking issue. The belt either rides right on the edge of the cam/crank pulleys or walks slightly forward once the engine starts. It tracks okay-ish for a moment, then creeps right to the edge—and honestly, it’s stressing me out.   I’ve spent hours removing and reinstalling the belt, double-checking everything:   Tensioner setup is good, checked multiple times Idler pulley and washers are all in the correct places Followed the RB25 timing procedure step-by-step     The only thing I changed was the rear crank washer—I swapped the OEM one for a Neato version, and it made things worse. The belt now sits even more forward than before. I’m beginning to think the crank trigger wheel itself (from the trigger kit) is the issue—poor design or slightly off dimensions.   What’s strange is that with the previous belt setup, it actually ran fine for a couple of years—around 4,000 to 5,000 miles, even with hard driving and high RPMs. But even then, the belt was always riding right on the edge, and I know that’s not ideal or safe long term.   At this point, I’m debating whether to:   Machine a few mm off the crank trigger wheel to bring it back in line, or Replace it entirely with a better-designed unit     Only thing is, I already have the Cherry Hall sensors, bracket, etc.—I just want to replace the wheel only, not the entire kit. Anyone know a brand or supplier that sells just the crank trigger wheel on its own?   Would really appreciate any feedback—especially from anyone who’s run into this exact issue and found a reliable fix.   Thanks in advance.
    • Hi...a little refresh. Is Nistune gonna be enough to run BoV? Or do i need some proper ECU?
