Fair enough... they're a nice car, albeit the older nice shaped one are getting a bit long in the tooth...

Dunno about others, but the R33 and R34 just don't have the same appeal...

And until the new GTR comes out, I'll probably not be a fan.

how could you :cry:

is it auto? :lol:

Yaeh its auto but its freakin awesome!

RB25de engine which im real impressed with.
Awesome comfy ride with wicked handling, brakes, LSD and massive drifts.

I always used to bag the non turbo skylines but I was wrong. The RB25DE is super tough!

rolla > auto skyline

but each to their own

Website · by **cozmoid** » Tue Sep 18, 2007 7:37 pm

It's okay

I wish i could keep the rolla but finances r tough

Yeah auto aint ideal but it's a good box which im quite impressed with. Anyway it won't stay there forever. Im a mechanic so as soon as the auto starts $&#$% around i will change to manual. The parts ain't that xpensive

Good brakes, good engine, strong gearbox, good chassis (which is light for a 2.5litre 6), practical, tidy non-rice looking.... want more?

Factory LSD
Factory Upgraded Super HICAS 4w steer (I have found this to not affect awesomely long DRIFTS!
RWD

Cheap and lots of aftermarket goodies

Did i say AWESOME DRIFTS!!

AH YUP I DID

by **bluemaumau** » Tue Oct 23, 2007 7:09 pm

yea theyre well set up with all the goodies, 25s are so much better than 20s

but tbh i really dont like the shell and the fact most are auto,

be nice if you could put all the nice runnign gear out of a r33 into a r32.

but meh its your money do what you want :lol:

by **Lith** » Tue Oct 30, 2007 11:06 am

The shell is a matter of taste if you are talking about looks. The chassis is much better than the R32, and only a little heavier. Its their loss for the people who don't like the car for no intelligent reason

Okay so finally got round to cleanin her and takin some pics

Keep in mind i paid $3k and the mags came from the AE70. The rims look real sweet but the rubber width and profile is too small so makes wheels look small

But im not really gonna forgo a mean set of goodyear eagles! They still offer mean as front end grip and the rear transition from grip to drift is super smooth and easy to control Current rubber is only 205/40/17 and it really should be minimum 225/45/17. Remember profile is a percentage of ur width. My speedo is out by quite a bit too my speedo 120kph speedcamera 106kph

Anyway the pics!

I haven't done much with it. Just new KYB's all round and some decent ICE, new plugs, oil an filter, trans oil an filter, diff oil, removed hand controls, new pads. I wont really do much else with it either. Keep it a sleeper. If the auto craps out i will convert it then and if the motor ever goes i will think about turbo,computer etc. I dont want to destroy a good thing before it's broken
