Never made a snowman :( been sunburnt though.

Civic sounds like the better car,  1. It still drives with 372,000km  2. It doubles as a snowmobile what more do you want.

 

 

It has been a very reliable car to say the least, still on the original clutch!  Just had to use the snow blower to clear out another foot of snow this weekend:mellow:

Yeah, heat is good, I don't mind the dry heat, good swimming weather.....but the humidity this year has been hard to put up with.  If I wanted humidity I would live up north ffs.

And you can stick your snow [sorry Josh]....I live near it [aussie style] and hate the stuff, PITA.

I guess on the bright side, every Spring thaw must be like Christmas since you get to pull the wrapper off the GTR again. Driving the Civic would be like a reset button on your concept of a quick car.

You could always pick up a G35X for some quick(ish), cheap(?) Winter thrills.

I used to drive a modded Subaru Outback turbo for a daily but now I drive over 1000km a week so I got myself the hand me down civic from my father when he bought a new one but then I got tired of fueling up twice a week so I bought a beat up tdi Jetta wagon that's coming up on 500k km but goes almost 1200km a tank. Now its to damn cold to work on the gtr, the engine needs to come out to get the shortblock rebuilt with some forged bits and new bearings. Then after that's all done I have a pair of -5 turbos and all the supporting bits to go on.

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily. 
    • Actually, I'd say all three are the automatic option. Just the different trim levels. The manual would be RSFS, no? 
    • What Duncan said sounds right. Also, it looks like they only have the driver's mat. Not the rest. Because looking at the diagram: KG4911 is just the mat for the driver. KG4900 is the full set if I'm not mistaken and discontinued.   But, it looks like they may still have the full set for the manual S2. Might be worth checking for the other models as well as they seem slightly different. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/epc/nissan-japan/stagea/wgnc34/6649-rb25det/misc/G49 Man, I'm tempted.
    • I dunno about that as a blanket statement. Pitwork is Nissan's "Nissan genuine" thing, and for stuff like timing belts, I have found them to be excellent. Of course, for things like oil filters, you always use proper trusted brands anyway, not whatever the OEM has taken to using.
