Last I heard they were still $40k D:

I wouldnt mind one of those pimp VIP vans that were reviewed a few weeks ago in Autospeed. Looks like the Batmobile on 'roids but much much slower :rofl:

Only about $7k uncomplied

Nothin worse than havin the Missus screamin in your ear 'cause the bloody car's waitin for parts out of Japan!

As we can all see the difference between the 30 yo with the kids and the youngins.

I'd quite happily drive a Prius if they didn't cost so much, or a Estima Hybrid if they were offered here. I would have bought one, if I was still living in Japan. Even the 2.4L petrol ain't bad, there is a turbo kit available for them. But a little on the pricey side.

Accord Wagons are always popular if your keeping with the J-scene.

The only thing my wife would be complaining about is if I bought a van she hates them.

As far as she is concerned it has to be sporty, jap, turbo, sedan or wagon and fit the kids in it.

Evo_Lee: the JZX100 I'm assuming that you have to get the Tourer V version? Is that the only one with turbo @ 206kw?

Interesting same power as GTT, 30kgs heavier but 44nm more torque - could be a close race there. Wonder how handling compares...

Sorry craz0 end of hijack just nice to find out about other sporty jap sedans.

Yeah, thats the car, its pretty tidy, and Pearl white which is a bit hard to find in a Stag.

Screamin for a set of feet though!

ok i may get smacked by admin but I've heard not so good things about that yard...

pimpin interior though black leather?, woodgrain.... nice

Hi mate - no question go the Stagea! Check my gallery (or my avatar) for some pics of mine... but yeah go for a 1998 onwards Series 2 (in my opinion) with the Neo6 (factory 205 kW) and tiptronic auto. Picked mine up for around $28,000 with 45,000km and service history. These 1998+ series 2 also come in a manual option too! But finding one may take a few months and cost about $5000 more (low $30g). I've got kids, and first thing I did was throw in the Alpine DVD / roofmount screen / IR headphone set :rofl: Works a treat! Then came the HKS cat back, panel filter and boost + .... so nice to drive :P More mods to come of course - and maybe a kit to get it looking like this...

And go the 4WD not the RWD (that brisbane street machines have).

How tall are you? I am 6'5", and therefore need the seat all the way back - which leaves about 5" clearance which is OK for skinney legs in the back - but if you are around 6' or under then heaps of room in rear.

Anyway - just do it - come join the growing Stagea clut lol! Check out the Stagea forum on this site for more info ;)

Good luck with your shopping!

Correct only the Tourer V has the 1JZGTE. The Tourer V TRD Sports is even nicer, well more sportier package. Becareful not to get it mixed up with the Tourer S and Tourer S TRD Sports, they are just 1JZGE only. The good thing about the JZX100 is they made the same power in both 5MT and 4AT transmission, 280ps/38.5kgm and back in 96/09. While the Skylines saw 2 revisions in 96/01 and 97/02 still only had 250ps/30kgm (5MT) and 245ps/28kgm (4AT).

Then came the R34 GTt and GT-X turbo sedan with the Neo RB25DET in 98/05 and while power was up she still lacked some torque 280ps/35kgm (5MT) and 280ps/34kgm (4AT). A revsion in 00/08 only saw improvements made to the manual with 280ps/37kgm = what the JZX90 was making back in 92/10.

Course what's a few Newton-metres, if your thinking of doing some mods. But I know what I would be buying.

How about the Legnum VR4, there is one selling on his board and I know a mate who is selling his as well. Released in 1996 the V6TT 6A13...4AT made 260ps/35kgm and the 5MT made 280ps/37kgm. In 1998 the 4AT model joined the manual with the same power/torque. Don't forget the EC5 Legnum VR4 dominated the performance wagon era in Japan with the Subaru Legacy, adding to the Legnum's popularity wining Japan Car of the Year in 1996-1997 in the first year she was introduced.

I only know so much about the Legnums because I was going to buy one so I could fit my ski gear. My mate ended up buying one so I bought the Evo, still can fit my snowboard :rofl:. The 5AT INVECS-II is so smooth and changes gears quicker than you could in the manual. At the time no tiptronic shift was faster, only the 2nd gen M3 SMG shifts quicker than the INVECS-II.

Jzx90 Mark2? one in the trading post for $19k. 5 speed and twin turbo. Stock I'd say there pretty slow.. With a few bolt on's you can have some fun. Mate has one with around the 230rwkw.. Very interesting in the wet to say the least.

3 kids in the back of a 4door skyline or a Stega is a bit of a squeze.

I have a sedan and its brilliant for 2 kids or even 2 adults (not too tall) but stick 3 kids side by side for a trip of 20min or more and youll be ready to kill them when you get to your destination. :rofl: (well some times - especially if they are a bit grouchy)

The only way to take 3 kids in a sedan is to have one in the front seat, one in the back seat and one in the boot. :P

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
