BTW, this is gonna sound weird, but: the 3 skylines I've test driven now, they all seemed to have huge backward and forward body roll on take offs. I drive a civic which (to me) feels like it's on rails (ignoring the understeer), but these skylines felt rather doughy and uninvolved by comparison simply cos of the roll.  Is this just because A) I'm not pushing the test cars cos I don't wanna get my ass kicked) and B) I'm just used to a small buzz box now that doesn't have enough power to even break traction from a standing start or push me into my seat?

Sounds like they have standard suspension in them, which is probably worn. They handle like boat anchors with standard suspension...

nah, its not the suspension, its because it has so much power, that it just throws you back and the car is wheel standing!!!! (yeah right....i wish!)

yeah, the standard suspension is a little on the saggy side. you can buy my suspension off me if you want? (its not stock...). i've just bought some coilovers..... :P hehe

I don't like the look of the R32s

i am with you well sorta its not that i dont like them but i prefer the 33 i could have got a 32 gtr but they just dont appeal to me as much as a 33... though i am getting a bit of a 34 bug at the moment i really want one pity their is 0% chance of that happening

Yeah sounds like your on the money with what your looking for!

Dont listen to half these 32 drivers on here! There still stuck with there 2lt commodore engines at the end of the day. (not you GTR boys!)

I'm not sure what your talking about with the "roll" on take off but my advice would be too sit in the passenger seat of mine and i'll give you a demo takeoff from about 6000rpm.

If you have any questions about SII R33's then i'll be happy to fumble out an answer.

theres nothing wrong with 32'! lighter than 33's and looks sportier etc... ask veilside, he'll tell you that 32's are better (i hope!) and he used to own a 33. but if your happy with a 33 then thats kool too, do what you want not what other want you to do :D

I'll try to get to the next friday night meet, and take you up on that offer! :D

I think I've made a subconscious (sp?) decision to upgrade the suspension on the skyline I get (if needed) before doing any stereo work. And that's saying something considering I spent 1600 on the sound in my titchy little civic hahahahaha

ok now i just read this thread it turned into a 32 vs 33 slander feast.

So Stirlo like steve said come sit in the passanger seat of my 33 see how quick you go white like me.

As for weight diff mines 1260kg so whats a 32 hmmm

nice to see we r all staying on topic.

just quickly, yes i prefer 32's but that said, i still loved my 33 (much roomier and very sexy)

anyway back on topic lads, there have been a million which is better threads and its purely personal preference, but so you all know....they are all better than peice of sh*t diahatsu's!

There's a white Skyline down the street from me but I don't know them.. it's a Northside suburb with a lot of old folks homes. If u read this and it's u, maybe I could walk down the street and check it out?

^^^ copyed from first post

If its a white one with no rear spoiler (stealth one) 18s (volks) fmic that would be me come up any time during the week only late in the arvo but.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
