[IMACUL8]

Sorry Niz

I didnt say it wold suit anyone did I ......

Looks like bullshit dyno threads are the only ones allowed these days ....

Sorry fane - disregard what I said cause giving another option to nissan with some valid reasons is not allowed.

Unbe****leavable

Dan,

Happy with why you answered Fane's question, and I personally have nothing against the WRX except to say that it ain't my cuppa tea but I respect everyone's different and hence why my answer didn't actually bag your response except to say that we were really only seeking feedback on the cars he'd chosen. The quesiton "which would you choose" was narrowed in choice to three cars and you introduced a 4th into the equation which wasn't asked for. This is what spiked my response. As Niz said, people generally narrow down cars to what appeals to them and then if they are still confused, ask another opinion.

[raasclaat]

anyway. You would want the 180sx to be at least a 92-94 before paying as much as 15k for one. Any older than that and it should have a bucketload of mods for that price.

as someone said earlier. It depends on what you are after. If you are going to mod and change the turbo, go for the already modified. If you are not going to mod then go for the nice newer stocker..better resale value etc

A car with an AVC-R on a stock turbo makes me extra cautious- who knows how much overboosting has been done. If you are going to upgrade the turbo anyway, who cares.

[MLCrisis]

Ahem! If I could interject with an answer to Kenhuang's question, then you can get back to arguing ......

I went for a Series II for three reasons: 1) Dual air bags, 2) ABS Brakes and 3) a Series II of anything is usually better (though not always) because the manufacturer is simply improving a proven product.

Choosing your own mods, rather than inheriting someone else's, is definitely more expensive, but may give you more satisfaction. It may not, but there you go. There are plenty of second hand bolt on goodies around which would keep the cost within reason.

Hope this helps.

Cheers.

:uh-huh:

Exact reason to why i bought a stock r33 then modified it myself. Yeah it might of cost me a few extra dollars (ahem $8000) but i got the look, the sound and the performance i was after.

GO THE SERIES 2 STOCKER!!

[kenhuang]

thanks for all the help....

yep about the wrx i did test drive it but honestly due to personal preference skyline win in looks handsdwn...

yup. personally the reason y i cramp dwn to these three is because of budget.

most prob i will get the series two....but then i will only left abt 2.5 grand for mods ...1)so what are the mods should i get...i know its very little but thats all i want to spend.

also is2)19grand a gd px?

i am only going to drive this car for a yr...hence what will be the maximum i will lose if say i spent a total of 19000+2500=21500?

at 100000kms...is it still be able to sell easily...by the way guys i am in perth .

[GunMetalR33]

IMACUL8 : perhaps I was a bit abrupt (its been a long day). However, you gave no help in choosing from the narrowed down list provided and instead suggested 2 4WD cars. I think comments like "dont bother" are waisting every ones time...

Dave

the thread was which I would buy - i stated my answer and followed on. I then went on to answer a question asked by fane. Whats the problem. Im sorry I didnt realise the high quality of posting in the West Section of late was not met by my first hand experience encounter.

GUN - who the fark said you needed 4wd ??????? Your the only one.

And just so u know - I dont think WRX is oh so wonderful - I was just giviing a guy another option so as to help him make a informed decision in purchasing a car.

[R33 Impul]

Just remember the more pistons you have the more it cost to mod.

pistons x mod = $$$

My 2c

[fane]

s2 + 2.5k

turbo back ~1.5k

pod with bracket ~100bucks (can do lots cheaper for 2nd hand + DIY style)

ebc ~500bucks (could go bleed valve but you will need ebc eventually unless going for a wolf or something)

safc ~350

then rest on tune.

that should give you ~250rwhp @ 10psi or somewhere around there....

next step can be fmic and rims and supension and the list goes on but that would be my start.

anyone elses ideas...

i say safc before fmic because without something to tune it fmic is useless....but safc by itself can be tuned and advantages can be there

[R33 Impul]

Don't forget the adj exhaust cam gear

[G0DF4Th3R]

whats wrong with suggesting a car thats not in the list? Dan was just suggesting a car within the price range that the thread starter might not have thought of.. its not like its done any harm or turned into a flaming match.. at least it has added some useful comparative info between GTSTs and WRXs..

geez.. whats happening to this forum lately..

[Nizmo]

BamBam

A. It was the way it was said "if its not a GTR dont bother" ..... obviously on a Skylines site thats going to rub a few people up the wrong way

B. The information posted wasnt relevant to the cars he had chosen ...... i mean i could post up the specs to Toyota Echos, Holden Astras and all that but its no use to the poor guy because its not what he wants!

C. Dan quite often stirs shit in threads bashing skylines ..... this is not the first time ... he knows it gets everyones back up - yet he still acts surprised and hurt when it does. Its not constructive and its not helpful - its just shit stirring for the sake of it.

[kenhuang]

so 19grand gd px or bad px?

tot of bringing it down to cred to check before i buy as they can do a comprehensive check for me?gd idea?

[Nizmo]

Ken - always try n get a car for cheaper than the advertised price .... offer them $16K and meet a medium from there. For a stock series two $19K is about where the price should be.

Always get the car checked out ..... and after you buy it ..... do a dyno test to make sure the fuel pump isnt faulty etc ..... because neglect that and the car could end up costing you a fair bit.

[fane]

px means price?

can we see pictures?

[IMACUL8]

Niz - with all due respect - now your just talkin shite.

[G0DF4Th3R]

lately it seems that conflicting views arent allowed on SAU.. im not talking abt this thread in particular, but generally speaking, that seems to be the way its going and a lot of the people who have been here for years are driven away bcoz of this

back on topic... there are a lot of ppl running around in Sivias / 180sx lately due to its relatively cheap price and with it comes a higher ratio of dickheads to real car enthusiats which is unfortunate coz it is really a good car.. im afraid it might be the same for Skylines too as more and more ppl can afford to buy them now

[fane]

im afraid we are nearly there bambam....

[dan_the_man]

I cannot see any problem with what imacul8 posted... we are all entitled to our opinions
