Yep, car has to be able to tow my trailer and dirt bike to track days on the regular. 

Also onto shitty dirt roads when I go to the bush, so AWD might be nice to have. 

tl;dr Buy another R33 GTR with a tow bar addon 

All rounder cars are shit, but a necessary evil for people with only one car space. Daily and weekender is the way to go if you got a choice.

Aren't simmons like the Australian volk? Thought they were pretty expensive, not that I've ever looked.. I don't mind the simple 5 spoke, but don't really want something you're likely to see on several cars the same model as your own

yeah not cheap.

but no better way to show your true 'stralyaness other than stralyan rims on your straylan muscle car.

 

MAAAte, anything else and your not fair dinkum

stock are 10.5" wide??? where??

what model you got again?

all my googling showed 20x8.5 +35 front and 20x9.5 +42 rear will borderline not require a guard roll.

 

you want bawler status and uniqueness:

They used to be, I think they used to be forged and better quality but now days cheaper due to cheaper manufacturing process I guess? 

Don't do it, too many of them around definitely in the Ford FG community anyway, I'm sure Holden the same.

So I'll find something good.

If going black on black wheels you may as well not have good wheels, won't see shit.

Black looks good in person bad on pictures.

Arguments on both sides, some would say no point having a cheap daily if that's what you spend most time in, obviously if you could have a baller daily and baller weekender that's different, I'm going down that path with motorbikes though, track bike and road bike, at least they're cheaper $.

Stock rears are 10.5" wide, could probably get some decent looking te37s on there....

I thought 9.5? Check out some of the Vertini, HRE, Niche etc , thewheeldeal website has some good options, I think eastcoast tyres also recently opened a shop in Bayswater (they are big in sydney for holden and ford ranger boys)

Mate rekins you can get more for less money at dpm and dynomotive, so I'll sus them if I do anything to it.. Probably gonna have to get something else now that I've got the dog, once he's full grown, or option 2 is lose the hard cover and he can go in the back

New M140i is ~60k, will go harder than wrx and isn't ricey. The new civic looks awful


What advantages does this have over say, a train, which I could also afford?

    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
