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.

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 :)

    • That ring thing is interesting how it's holding everything together 
    • Hey guys. I have a 400R on its way to Australia from Japan currently and have a few questions I’m hoping others may be able to help with.   Wondering if anyone here has had any luck getting the Sat nav unit to work in Australia!? Assuming the Stereo is as simple as a band expanded and tv won’t work?  Seeing as they’re based off a Q50 which is Aus delivered is there any way to link that system to the nav? Nav modules and head unit are different part numbers and appear slightly different at the rear with plug ins etc. can I put my xtrail sd card into the rv37 and will that convert the maps or update to Australian? Has anyone got any advice here?     also has anyone fitted the factory remote start and Security system once it’s landed in Australia? I put an enquirey to Nissan Japan in via a third party, and they suggested it needs a Nissan Japan dealers device to setup and couldn’t guarantee if one here could do it or not. They can supply and I can physically fit it but to setup I would need a dealers device. Any information here would be appreciated also. I’ve seen one here with it fitted already prior to leaving Japan at a dealer/inporter, so clearly passes compliance and works when fitted Japan and doesn’t need changing here.      also, does the tyre inflation sensors work here? Does anything change with them when the vehicle arrives? Where are they actually situated? I’ve read they have batteries and they need to changing at times and seems like resetting involves the nav system?    any help here would be appreciated and any other aust specific information to help would be great. Looking forward to see what the current generation skyline is like and eager to see how many of the gadgets can be utilised here.  Thanks in advance 
    • Do need to take it with a pinch of salt. One of the adapter failures, they clearly had setup issues with the flywheel.  One of the slipping ones I spoke to and it was pretty clear the throwout was riding, rather than fix, just swapped to a new clutch.    These clutches are being put in anything from 5k offroad 4x4 beaters, GR yaris, 500hp commodores to 1200hp barra monsters. Bound to be some issues in some of them when they are not a simple bolt in affair due to the changes in height.    There is a lot going on in this picture and unless I did the job myself no way to tell what really happened. 
    • I did this mod in 2019  You just have to modify the top bracket of the ABS/TC/Fuel Pump Control ECU so it sits more upright and closer to the back seat and run a good quality positive battery lead from the engine bay, the negative lead i just bolted down to the body in the boot.
    • Damn... Not the feedback I want to hear.
