You will like the skyline, but why not a NEW WRX for not much more?

Howard.
At one time i considered it. But they are pretty common around here and I want something different. Plus the potential of the Skyline RB engine seems to be alot higher than the WRX EJ(?) engines...anyways thats what it seems anyways.

I joined a WRX forum and alot of complaints about weak trannies and so on....But hey whatever.

Ive seen ONE Skyline in my travels... I want one also. That 4 wheel steering thing.... crazy....right hand drive....basic tuner upgrades takes you to 450hp....major upgrades....the sky is the limit.

Just to be clear....my Indy isnt for sale.

"""Dood , I got a line on this Fiero. The car would be so kick ass. I would run 11s. First I would swap to a 4.9l then I would probably put down 12s. Then I would probably turbo it with a 1982 Saab 2.0l turbo, I've heard they are good, and I found one at a shop for $100. My car would kick your ass so hard...and everyone on Old Europe would suck my nutzzack , I hate good Chicken.

Like that?

I hear you. I was in a similar position and chose the subaru over something used and cooler. To each his own.

350 horse seems to be pretty safe on the 2.5L subaru motors and all AWD trannies can break when you abuse them.

The skylines are awesome cars.

yeah but its a boat and known for tranny issues that are costly to repair

I agree. The Stealth/ 3000GT is hardly a comparison to a GTR

If you want cheap speed, get a 91 Talon TSI. I actually really considered buying a 99 Eclipse GST, sweet looking cars even stock.

donk_316 · Post by **donk_316** » Fri Sep 02, 2005 3:42 pm

Nope. Dont want one of those either. Im pretty much set on a Skyline unless a 93+ Supra comes up

You could contract me to drop Skyline drivetrain into E30 BMW 325iX... 4-500# lighter than the Skyline...

Fierocious · Post by **Fierocious** » Wed Sep 07, 2005 11:04 am

If you really just wanted the Rb. Find an older 240z, 70's style. The badass ones.
Theres a guy around here with one, Twin Turbo Rb25. Everything powdercoated. I coudln't believe it, its like it was out of magazine.

now that'd be hot

someone dropped it into a 240 i think

The Dark Side of Will · Wed Sep 07, 2005 12:36 pm

I've heard about that, but don't know what they did for front suspension/hubs, etc.
