Ok so it looks like most people agree it's a waste of time and money to spend anything on the Skyline so i guess I need to move on from that. Guess the only way forward is to buy something that handles better and in the case of my skyline being NA, also more powerful. So for me, a large criterion is also looks. in that case it looks like the 180sx is for me and i can pick up a decent condition one for around the same price as an mx-5

Just thought id add..... Even when the fuse on my thermo fan blew the car ran at normal temperature when crusing, it was only when i was in heavy traffic that the temperature crept up. And also when I did my research for the thermo fan i found that the clutch fans reach their max speed when the engine is at 3000rpm (same as the water pump, a/c and alternator) any higher and they stop draining your power. Also some people said that for the track, they found their original clutch fans to be better but who knows how they had the thermo fans setup. I opted for a thermo as my clutch fan was developing cracks and my car being NA, it needed he extra power. Car is a little more responsive around 2000-3000rpm.

Thanks for all the input guys! Well this is what i'm thinking of doing, put on the side skirts, rear pods and wider fenders i have for the skyline (maybe even get a GTR front bar made in plastic) so that it looks a little meaner. Buy the 180sx; just a clean and lightly modded one for track and some street. In the end the 180sx won't handle as great as the MX-5, but it's a big step up from the skyline and most of all I will be surrounded by the beloved Nissans. I do like the idea of building a nice RB25/30 as I love the sound of the straight six, but for now I think the 180sx will be great. Who knows, maybe in the future ill come back to the sweet sound of an RB!

Well I like the idea of having two cars so that I can have one car in bits and still drive around. Driving a 180sx was amazing, you can just feel it's a light car and it just made me want one even more. I like the idea of an MX-5, small, fuel efficient and good handling but still, just thinking of the 180 just makes me fall in love again. GAHHH why does this have to be so difficult?!!

Guess you always look forward to going for a drive?! If you catch a bus to work then that's a little different....

Not a bad MX-5, dont mind the NA but prefer NB. Either way would be a beast. If i wanted a track only car I could probably use one of my dad's cars to tow anything and a prado would be good, do some 4wding but it's not for me sadly hahah. So maybe get rid of my beloved Skyline, get an MX-5 as a daily which could also be used a bit at the track in the meantime, would be a fun car and look pretty sexy. Then maybe get a 180sx in the near future, doesn't matter if it's not in great condition and work on that. Endgame...... Have two nice track cars that are street legal (wouldn't go crazy modifying them).

I know it's been said so many times but R34 GTR as a daily and your first performance car is out of the question! As a weekend car yes (any GTR as a matter of fact, wouldnt use daily) Too expensive, will only get ruined by people hitting you or opening their car doors on such a sexy car. Start with something cheaper, get used to the power and of course get used to something that is rwd or awd. The GTR is like the final boss of a video game, you don't get there straight away, you gotta work for it. Sorry if it's a little harsh but you need to cover all angles when making these choices.

Hard to make these decisions, best bet is to take your time and weigh up all your options along with what you really love. Maybe keep the s13 (seeing as you like the look of it now and if yours is clean then defs keep it seeing as alot are in pretty bad shape), then overtime do your motor build, don't skimp, if you want a 25/30 then do that. Comprimising will never make you happy. And I totally agree with you on the sound factor. Im thinking of getting rid of my skyline but saying goodbye to the sound of the rb is a big deal. Maybe get a cheap run around and have the s13 with your rb25/30 as a weekend car. Or start your motor build now and drop it in when you're on your opens.

A quick background..... I am currently a green P plater (in QLD) till october of 2013. I have an R33 GTS series 1, learnt to drive in it and have used it ever since. Now it's a nice looking car and if I spent a little more money on it it would be a schmick car, but it's quite a big car, fairly slow, doesn't handle amazingly (has some potential) and isn't great on fuel. Not as bad as i thought with the police, only been pulled over three times in over a year (they never even went over the car just breath test) must be because i don't drive like a dickhead all the time and ALWAYS BE POLITE TO THE POLICE! Now about a month ago i started looking at buying a 180sx (turbo) as a second car to work on for experience. The 180sx was my first love, so beautiful. Test drove a couple and love how they handle. If i were to buy a 180sx i would apply for an exemption (I don't want any questions or personal input on the matter of how and why) and also use it as a daily along with the Skyline. My other choice is to buy an NB MX-5 (1.8L) from 1998 - 2000. Heard they handle amazingly, fuel efficient and with some coilovers, nice offset rims, hardtop and a Garage Vary front lip look sexy!!! Only problem is the MX-5 might be a little slow unless I get some cams, port polish, shaved head straight up. So here's my choices: 1) I can keep the Skyline and buy a 180sx 2) Keep the Skyline and buy an MX-5 3) Sell the Skyline and have just the MX-5 as a daily and then get a 180sx when i have my open license 4) Sell the Skyline, buy and MX-5 as a daily and also buy a 180sx as a project/track car 5) Spend about $5000 (motorsport discount) and work the Skyline(keep NA) and get about 200rwhp, coilovers and sway bars. Please tell me what you think. I do love the Skyline and it would be sad to see her go but I'm looking for something more fun, take to the track every now and then. Any other reasonable suggestions welcome!

Went down to my local Fulcrum dealer and got four of the small pineapples for max traction setting, now cost $18 plus GST each but got 20% off by mentioning I was part of a car club
