God damn that GT-R is fuck huge

RWD is hard to get good consistent launches, whereas a GT-R does all of the work for you aslong as you hold the gas pedal down. IRS RWD hi-po cars are even harder to get good consistent launches

>hurrr gt-r shitposting

launch mode or whatever the fuck does all of the work for you in the GT-R when it comes to drag racing. 60 ft advantages, launch advantages, and then dual clutch transmissions can shift faster. That's why OP, before autists fill this thread

The GT-R spanking the GT500 might be because of more advanced traction/launch control.
Plus the fact that it's FWD giving it insane grip.

Pretty neat.

would buy trophy wife one for the kids so he can go crash into whatever she wants and not die.

Certainly looks better than the X5.

That's not saying a lot.

Unmatched comfy levels, exterior takes some getting used to but it's different from the "GRR, ANGRY" SUVs that desperately try to hide the fact that they're not sporty nor utilitarian.

So I've been thinking of getting my first s-chassis... s13 or s14.

They are easily available in my area. I've been 'shopping' for the past 6 months or so, but I'm having a hard time picking one. A part of me is like "make the mature choice, choose the most stock, unmodified one as possible", but another part of me is like "but this one has a swapped sr20, and modified suspension, race seat, blah blah, so it'll be more fun."

The purpose of buying this car is purely for enjoyment-- comfort and convenience are %0 a factor. I want it to be a bit ridiculous, and feel like a toy, not a commuter. But I also don't have a garage where i can just stash it if it breaks down, and I don't have endless $$$ to throw at it if shit keeps fucking up-- so reliability is unfortunately still a bit of a factor. I'm also not very mechanically inclined. I don't mind basic maintenance, but i'd rather be out driving than shopping for new parts online and spending hours working on my car. Buying a stock car and then modifying it into my dream car isn't something i'm that interested in doing... i'd rather just buy someone else's hard work and tweak that to my liking.

So my question is, have any of you purchased an s-chassis with a similar mindset? Whether you chose stock or modified, do you regret your decision?

Is there an intelligent way to buy a modified s-chassis without being a mechanic and/or having owned and worked on a few?

Also, I'm in New York, tell me which one I should buy: http://newyork.craigslist.org/search/cto?sort=date&hasPic=1&searchNearby=1&nearbyArea=451&nearbyArea=349&nearbyArea=249&nearbyArea=561&nearbyArea=167&nearbyArea=250&nearbyArea=168&nearbyArea=170&nearbyArea=354&nearbyArea=17&nearbyArea=356&nearbyArea=278&nearbyArea=276&nearbyArea=286&nearbyArea=173&auto_make_model=240sx&auto_transmission=1

You're fucking lucky, you dumb faggot. 2002 was the ONLY model year where the 3.5L had the oiling system fixed. The 4L30 is weak shit, don't beat on it. The rest of the car is ok, it rides rough as shit, though, and it's pretty mediocre off road. Barn doors are best doors, senpai.

Do you plan on tracking it or are you just planning on racing on the road? Any reputable track will kick you out instantly.

Lmao wtf bruh, no fuck that shit. Bounce the fuck outta there

What filter what mileage? Also IF the trannsmission works and shifts fine then dont do it. Also 400$ is some fucking joke. I dont know im eurokek but i think this job should cost 70$ including the filters

>>13963155
Just do it yourself man. Twenty minutes on youtube or google is all it takes to learn how.
Plus it will save you about $350.

How the hell would I know?

5 seconds of Google told me they go on sale spring 2016. You could probably pre order sooner.

In the US all the 16s are already sold

They are taking orders for 17s but they are going fast

I'd say in 17 you might start seeing used on the marketbin the US

Yeah, stop being a weeb and get yourself a v8

If you don't already have an 86 shell, have fun paying 3 grand for one.

If you're asking questions already, you will never finish.

Further information -
The leak is not a direct spillage, as there has been literally zero leakage on my drive-way. I'm assuming the leakage is occurring at high-temps/RPM's and just burning off on the engine block. The metal-on-metal started a couple nights ago after I was getting off work, and went away after the engine was done rolling over. Then the sound would persist at 4,000RPM and higher.

>>13961722
Nigger what? Don't you check your oil once a week minimum?
Get a b20. Those things are cheap as fuck. I got mine with 74,000km for 350 dollars.
