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...

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
