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

    • This is amazing. Love that you’re giving the boys an intro to cars and off the screens. They probably have an insta for the car and build posts on TikTok for their mates.
    • It is.  Your car works fine with the tank full. If you drive like a Nana it works fine.  You give it a boot full with half a fuel tank, you get surge.  It 100% is a fuel surge issue. Maybe have a look at installing a Hydramat if you don't want to install a surge tank.  https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/hydramat/
    • Hanging out in Perth for a conference. Asked for a room with a view… got a view of Bustdown Festival   might stroll down and go say hi to Spotto and some of the hoonfluencers
    • It’s definitely just a problem with my car, as there’s bound to be plenty of 4-600hp cars out there running a factory tank with an upgraded pump and or hanger
    • Ah right, that would be a nightmare as I only get 150ish kms before it starts having issues/half a tank, and yeah if I don’t get into it I could run it completely dry, it’s only when it comes into boost it will start to break up, it also does it in every gear which leads me to believe it isn’t fuel slosh/surge as 4th and 5th shouldn’t have enough power to cause an issue. It’s got me stumped 🙃
