the oil pumps also play up and destroy the big end bearings also if it has vvt the cam that operates it is on a solenoid that is also prone to give up at low revs and make it sound like a tractor until revved

Part of the fun of the rotary is that it just asks to be rev\'d to death when warm

I\'ve got 2 of the buggers and wouldn\'t change it for anything.

You will be completely bored of the skybus. Just not a drivers car like the FD, just too much computer control. Supposed to be very quick but more a sledge hammer of a car.

Stick with the FD for a couple of months. At least till the weather improves !

I don\'t hate SkyLards, I did say I was speaking tongue in cheek! They can be made into truly amazing cars; one of my mates has an R33 GTR thats on around 500-ish horse and it is truly awesome, it can rearrange time and space BUT its cost him near 90 grand to get it to that point and keep it useable as a road car that doesnt sh!t itself every other week. He absolutely loves it to bits, and so he should, but even he admits if he knew the time and money and aggravation it\'d cost, he would never have started on it.
 
A Skyline is a massive, heavy, complicated thing with loads of complex diffs/rear steering gubbins/transfer cases and so on hanging off its gusset that are put there just so they can break expensively when you put some extra power through them. A Rex is none of these things!

Fact of life part 2 for ADAM:

keep the FD, sell the R5 turbo and buy a skyline gts-t for two or three grand Go drifty drifty baby ! more fun than a room full of fun stuff.

Lesson number 3:
 
Rx7 > Skyline > Evo > Supra > Any honda
 
Had to tell it like it is ..
If anyone says differently they are deluded.

True, got to love the purity of the Rex. Good weight distribution, good power, lack of weight, rear wheel drive, limited slip diff and no traction control. Its a drivers car.
 
You need to respect it. I still get butterflies in my stomach when i go out in mine and i\'ve had it a year. It scares me, and i have a healthy respect for it.
 
If i\'d owned this thing at 18 i wouldn\'t be here now.
