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

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
