1 Rotary in any family is enough...

I like the idea of the GTiR.

What about a Sr20DET powered Silvia/180SX ???

*Gasp* - AndyMac whats wrong with you!? YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH ROTARY.... ROTARY ROTARY ROTARY!!! ... Did someone say ROTARY?.... ROTARY!

My vote goes with SR20 S13 or an RB25 R32 - Or even a completely stock S1.5 R33. They're newer than the R32's obviously and you can get a decent-ish example for that money. They are ok on fuel. The only thing it lacks over the R32 is the slight difference in weight and the good looks, but you gain a more reliable daily...

Whichever option you choose it'll be a downgrade from the 20B >_< Are you sure you wanna do it?

Take the 12k and spend it on fuel - problem solved and you wont be driving a f*cking haridresser car as a result.

Will you please just RACE THE COSMO'S ARSE OFF!??!?! PRETTY PLEASE?!?!?!? NOW WOULD BE GOOD!!!

/yell

>_<

Ha ha - Adrian , Adrian....

I will , I am , I will !

I have realised now, that I really, really need to upgrade my transmission (It's only after driving this thing around on the power I have now that I see the light).

SO - In 2 and a bit weeks, I will have myself a fully built stage II MV Autos tranny with 3800 RPM stall. Same box has proven it's worth in SA where it ran 10.8 on a similarly spec'd Cosmo 20B.

So - YES - all in good time, my friend - It WILL happen. And when it does, I want to make it a good one :D:)

(Now I am going t be disappointed if I run a shit time) ha ha ha ha ha

GTI-R is a good choice. plus they look like a normal-ish hatch so you wont cop hassle from tha man.

I reckon you only have these choices:

GTI-R

SR20 S13

MX5

Any of them will be a good choice. GTI-R can be bought so cheaply now, and if you do decide to go nuts you could build a 10 second GTI-R pretty cheaply (compared to cosmo, or GTR etc). Plus they are fairly nice just to drive arond in.

MX5 will be much better on fuel, but looks a bit camp, and it's quite small inside so you may not be comfy in it. but it would be great fun on track and ok for just driving around.

SR20 S13 is a pretty chat car. they have horrible interior, most in your budget will be fairly shagged too, but they have SR20 turbo up front, 5spd in the middle and driving the rear wheels which is a recipe for fun. some downsides are crap brakes, 4 stud hubs and again, that nasty interior will make driving it every day pretty annoying, but it will probably be the best on track of the 3.

lol! I thought you wanted a reliable daily. Why stop at the rx7 above... Why not do this then?

Its not my money so here are my suggestions!

Early 90s Supra

Early 90s Liberty RS (Nice 2.2L Boxer Noise :), ugly as sin :rofl:)

Mid 90s Impreza WRX

Mid 90s 200SX (Might be a little high on the price side, as well as not being much to look at ;))

Late 80s RX-7

Of this list I'd go the Supra or Liberty. What I'd actually do is save up a little more cash and get something better :(

By the way, to get this list I used Red Book. It gives national averages for pretty much any car out there. Quite handy if you don't know what you want :domokun:

EDIT

If 88silhouette's Skyline Wagon is anything like my old one, it will chirp second. But it had nothing to do with power, it was a death trap driven by a complete idiot. But those old RB30s will out last cockroaches in my opinion.

Also...

Defect for blue lights on the front of the car? :)

*checks engine bay*

hmmm.. mine must have lost 200cc's

B-Man - 1JZ no shit!!

http://forums.performanceforums.com/forums....php?t=67211694

it is honestly a bargain.

and he's already got recaro's in it so it's lighter than the electric seat crap

but seriously..

It is a farking good choice over the other shit mentioned here..

Last post by owner:

Ok people, I'm open to serious offers for this car so whats it going to take for me to get a sale??

I can check it out for you if you want.

I can also drive it to Sydney for ya if you want.

You pay for my flight back and food bill (which will probably be about the same as the flight cost)

Pity it's in Qld - Don't you have to get a bluey for interstate rego - with the 1J conversion, that might be difficult - It's nice though :)

      G'day!

      Welcome. Dont let anyone dissuade you from your dreams. If you want a gtr, keep sabing and you will eventually get one. I feel like if I had have bought stocks, those companies would have gone bust and I would have lost my money.  There's a gamble in everything we buy. I've had good times and bad. But... I've also met my absolute best friend through this network and can't imagine life without them(more like a brother). Keep in mind, some specific mods will change as technology gets better. If you feel like general chat, there's always the wasteland.....

      Saw this abandoned Honda Fit in a carpark that was getting repaved... they just 'cut around it' and continued with the job! There's a number of reasons why the car could have been abandoned, but as for the construction company, legally they don't have permission to move the car from the owner (who has moved on and can't be contacted) so all they can do it just leave it there with enough space around it so it won't get damaged.

      You’ll want to have the block drilled and tapped to suit 1/2in head studs and the head for the same. How much power do you intend to make?

      Sorry for resurrecting an oldish thread Not much has happened in the past year since the last update. The car did another 1000 miles or so and failed the MOT for the first time in October (failed on tyres which had been advised for a couple of years) In October the car got put up for sale and was removed in November due to no interest, being so close to christmas it was to be expected. The roads were dry in February so I decided to tax it early and get the new tyres fitted.   Fast forward to April, I got someone in to give the car a good clean after sitting for the winter.                                 The car got re-advertised and today (Saturday 3rd May) the car sold. The new owner is planning a GTR conversion at some point and a respray in the same pearl white. It's bitter sweet, it's a shame to have the car sit there for half the year and then only do 1000 miles. The kids are growing too quick and space in the back is getting limited. It's been a great 6.5 years of ownership
