JAS-25T - you offered to swap me a car?

I remember the offer of Dunlop Volleys... and I did ask for pics.. :P

I agree about the R33.

there are a couple available for $10K ish.

actually a couple of series 2 for $12K ish.

the 3 cars here are all 2L and smaller so I figured a slightly better comparo.. you know.. kinda like apples and nashi pears rather than apples and carrots.

Medium Dave - there is no cars after wedding.. :)

I just bought the missus a brand new Tiida.

so I now get to buy what I want.

and I don't want to spend over $10K.

Nah when I was selling mine almost back a year ago. bout 10 months ago - it's was a series 1.5 too, just what you love.

couldn't get a pic of the dunlop volley's. They are just too quick!

Here are some current examples on what is on offer for this price range..

R32 - $10.5K from forum member = Fail

R32 - $9.8K = Fail

R33 gtst - $10K Just for JAS - also a forum member car = Winnar!

180sx - $9.5K = Fail

S13 - rb20 - $9.8K - but brown interior = Fail

S13 - $10.5K - with 55,000kms on new motor.. yeh right.. and pink wheels. = Fail

S13 - rebuilt SR (No receipts) looks pretty good - $9.5K = Fail

so there are some good examples out there for the money.

just need to see what fits me the best..

Quit lying to yourself and get a 33

Power to Weight ratios

Silvia: 130kw/tonne

180SX:129kw/tonne

R32:124kw/tonne

Talking about weight, there really isn't much in it, the highest to lowest is separated by 6kw. On the street you won't even feel it.

The R32 is superior. The S13 and 180 are little four-bangers suited to someone getting their first turbo car and learning how to thrash and powerslide.

Oh, btw an R33: 133kw/tonne. I agree with JAS-25T :P

how much do you wanna spend on mods AFTER the 10k?

if the answer is not much i'd go for a 32 with work already done...

my 33 owes me $30,000 on top of purchase price :O

Lets not forget there engines are still the same size as an rb20.

This is an interesting thread, I was in the same situation as this before i brought my car. I think if you cant decide between any of them just look around and when "the perfect" one comes up take that. Its better to have a perfect 180sx than a farked r32.

200 wigga watts is all that I would be after.

all those cars can so that.

the 2L would require a turbo upgrade (S15 turbo for the SR's = $400, RB25 turbo for the RB20 = $350)

a rechip for the 2L's would get close enough to this power.

RB25 would do it with usual bolt on mods and ecu/tune.

we'll see.

I'm going to take some proper pics of the Liberty this weekend and advertise it on Carsales.

Once it goes, apart from being 2 years older, I'll be able to bring this marvelous thread to a definitive end.

Good my man! Keep us posted what you end up choosing. We'll all be keen to know. Oh, and picsorban when you pick it up :no:

and If I want an RB25, I'll just get an R33.

I'm not too fussed about the 60kg extra when you get a better engine and gearbox and brakes to go with it.

amen to that...
