Hey evry1,

I'm not a regular poster on here as i hav a 180 and am regularly on ns.com.

I want ur opinions on wat car to get next...iv been planning this for so long and its basically come to the time where i either do something or shut up.

So my options are down to another 180 except this time a nice late model TYPE-X or a R32 GTR.

Now their both in roughly the same price range so theres no problem there but im trying to weigh up evrything and convince myself.

The Age difference is a big factor as the GTR's im looking at are '90 compared to the 180 whcij is a '97...that aside, its funny as the GTR's hav ridiculously low km's <100k (probly due to winding bak) while the type-x (due to its "non-tamperable" digital odo) has a lil over 100k.

Iv always loved 180's and 32GTR's and personally think they are both quite good looking cars...but im finding myself not looking so much at the looks of the car as much as i used to or interested in wizz-bang audio etc (a case of been there, done that). Im looking at something thats is reliable yet excites me evrytime i jump on the pedal. Something that wont b having problems evry 2 weeks and wont need a rebuild even if i run 250kw atw day-in-day-out.

I do love the 'throwable' nature of the 180s but the GTR...well theres something about the fact that u can go into a corner where in a FWD/RWD car the thoughts running threw ur head would b "well im farked...i wonder how much the repair bill will b..." but instead in the GTR, u get a rush of power to the front wheels and ur pinned bak in ur seat as u get winched out of the corner.

It is a hard choice but hopefuly with some suggestions from here and areas that i should b thinking about it should help. Also any info such as avergae fuel consumption would b great.

Thanks and sory bout long post

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      I hear that would involve some nice country road drives into the hills for Mark...

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
