Hello Australia

I was wondering for the last 2 years I have been driving a Hyundai Getz and well I want to upgrade to something that has a lot of appeal, and style but in the same time can go really really fast, really really quickly. I know that sounds like I’m a dickhead that just wants a kool car, but after driving a Getz for 2 year I think all of you would know what I mean. I mean 50cc scooters overtake me, lol.

Any way I have around about $28,500 to spend on a car and well I was looking at 3 types of cars and if anyone could tell me the pros and cons about them that would be grate I know that this is a Skyline forum and you will all say that the skyline will kick ass but yeah I just need to know about all 3 cars. The cars that I’m looking to buy are:

1. 1994 RX-7 with a brand new re-build

2. 1990 R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R with a re-build

3. 1994 Toyota Supra RZ

So if you all could give me a hand on deciding, what would be the best that would be mad.

Best regards Vlad Adam

1.Rx7, is an awsome machine; what was done in thre rebuild? is it still running factory twin turbo? as they are know to brake. But overall rx7 is a very mean track car, and they can be built to handle alot of power with very little lag

3. dont know much about the supra but i know the 1 and 2jz engine are very strong and can handle some hardcore figures on stock internals

Well, considering you're ona skyline forum, you can imagine what everyone is going to say, but I'll give you as unbiased an opinion as I can manage:

RX-7: It's a rotary, and I personally don't really 'get' rotaries. It's a little different, and not a bad little car, but no 'kick in the pants' appeal.

Supra: Good kick in the pants appeal, solid engine, but common as dogs balls. Also, tend to get heavy and slidey when you need grip the most.

R32 GTR: It wasn't banned from touring cars for nothing. 4wd, 4 wheel steer, plenty of grunt, an automotive revolution. Drawback: Err..... The amount of attention you'll get from being too damn sexy.

Seriously though, if you want a dyno queen, with a bit of looks, go the supre, if you want a car that's a little different, with a few quirks, go the FC, if you want a great all round car that'll take those impossible corners, get the GTR.

And going from a getz, um, well, test drive them all first. dropping the pedal in a getz might jar you a little, in any of the above cars, it might put your back out.

If AWD isn't your thing, you could always look at a GTS-T, kind of like a 2wd GTR 'lite'.

then again, it's all individual tastes, I'm sure plenty of supra drivers and rotary lovers will tell you a different story. Just figure out what you want your car to do, and then pick the car that does it.

    • I would paint match the whole thing to avoid unwanted attention  I had a similar bonnet, paint matched, on my old R33 GTST, but mine was a fibreglass jobbie made by Blitz in QLD, they work extremely well for radiator efficiency and under bonnet temps
    • Does anyone run this kit with factory plenum? Does the adapter and bosch tb fit under factory strut brace? I wanted to get this setup before going forward facing manifold. Thanks
    • small update time, after always wanting a "cool" looking bonnet for my car and always struggling to find one for the series 2 that i liked and wasn't an insane amount of money. Saw one i liked on RHDjapan from D-speed in Japan the price was very good for a carbon bonnet so good infact i was a little unsure how much i trusted it, decided to bite the bullet and with the help of jesse streeter in not long at all it was at my door. Once it was delivered i ran in from work and quickly unboxed it and to my surprise the quality was actually pretty good i quickly removed the old bonnet and placed on the new one to test it out and even the fitment wasnt too bad at all. Then decided to paint the little grille in the bonnet black to stop it sticking out so much.   I decided to not mess around with the hood latch and just install some aero catch hood pins, having never installed them before did some YouTube university classes and i was good to go. fair to say it is not a fun job at all from making brackets so the pins sit nicely and actually cutting through the bonnet but also being very scared of cutting the holes too big it took wayyyy longer than i would like to admit but finally got it there. Then it was time for a quick test drive to ensure the latches actually worked and thankfully the bonnet looked very stable. I still think paint matching the bonnet and leaving just the part that sticks up as carbon would help make it all look alot neater as im not sure how i feel about all that carbon on a very fridge white car but will leave it as is and see how i feel with time.  
    • I think it's bound to happen, you finally get it all perfect, and bam, something will happen. I took a while to get a Commodore rear quarter repaired where a P Plater clipped it. Two days after getting it back, Sarah wiped it out on a concrete pillar in an underground car park... This is why I take forever to repair them, it stretches how long until it gets bent again... 😛
    • Nah, not really responsible for that little fiasco, but I'm still pissed at myself for writing off my 86, or when I reversed my VX into a pole just before selling it, but, meh, 5hit happens to stuff, all it takes is a slight distraction, and life is full of distractions, and "dooh" moments
