$20 000, What Would You Buy ?

[ZENNON]

dont get me wrong, i love skylines, or else i wouldnt be on this forum, but to me the r31 does not resembe a sleek looking sports car in the slighest...the r32, 33, and 34 are all top cars

ah yeah me too! i even like the really old ones:

just not a fan on the 31's - everyone's entitled to an opinion i suppose

[GTR Power]

f*k those old school ones looks awsome..

[GT-R32]

I would love one in the garage with my '33... a replica will do.

[GTR Power]

how can u go about getting your hands on one of those, that second gtr in the picture in particular

[GTR Power]

anyone know where these are found? or how much they go for?

[racsov500]

forget about them

hakosuka is WAY out of your budget, even fake ones

the white one is a mocked up 240k.. the gtr parts are really rare, even in japan

[GTR Power]

lol daaaam 240k

[funkymonkey]

lol daaaam 240k

no no that's not the price... "240K" is the model name of the car. It was sold in Australia as a "datsun 240K". Trust me, you don't want one of those... if you wanna get a 240K and build a replica you might as well buy an AE86 Sprinter. They're all rust buckets the ones in oz.

Any of the older GTR's you have to import from japan, and you can't afford them on a 20k budget.

[GTR Power]

ah kkk

No matter what anyone says you should buy a house or invest it.

A car will frill you for the first few months of ownership but having a nice bank balance and equity will make you smile even more.

20 grand is alot of money espicially for a 20 year old.

Sure you may say people spend hundreds of thousands on cars so you spending 20 grand is nothing comparitive. But they would have alot more going for them then just enough to purchase a car.

[GTR Power]

im buying a car, full stop, no house, no investments, just a dam car lol

[MK2]

Save up another 5grand, then maybe have a look at something like an S15 200SX Autech, theyre a really sweet looking car, pretty damn good power for an SR20DE (think around 148kw) and theres a few coming into the country around the 25-28g mark

[izataskyrine?]

welll... i say r34 gt... then turbo it once ur licence will let you

really nice cars you cant go wrong with the 34's

[kralster]

But 20 grand on a car what a waste. The speed limit is 100 nowdays so why bother.

Why not buy a cheap race car and learn to drive quickly?

And have something cheap to run during the week?

[dano4127]

V35 - dumped on rims

there is one kicking around my area and it has totaly grown on me.

[32line]

Type R .....yummy.....0-100 in about 6 secs....1/4 mile in 14.5...redline at 8400rpm!!

i cant belive ppl are calling these girls cars. ther light, fast and known to be one of the best handling fwd cars. def worth a look at.

i was going to say, get a limited soarer or a celcior and just cruise around... in style, but you cant, because you cant own a V8...

man its a pain in the ass to live in australia these days...

[aquariuz6]

Hey guys I was just wondering... I have a friend that has a turbo car but they got their P's before the rule applied.

So I'm guessing it doesn't cover them right?

What happens if you get pulled over, and you got your P's after the rule applied? I wonder if cops actually look at P platers licence to see if they got their licence after the rule applied?

Any ideas on the fine?

I just still see too many P platers still with turbochargers, supercharged and V8 cars.

Oh well.

First car, $20k budget, speed and handling a must? Thought about a hot hatch?

Renault Clio Sport or Peugeot 206 GTi?

Both NA, both go suprisingly hard and handle suprisingly well, both within budget. More importantly for a first car though - they're both very safe in a crash, and both very fuel efficient.

And clio's look horn with a wide body kit:

Alternatively, how about a 2JZGE Soarer?

f*kin hell never realised how good clios look with the wide kit
