Since u're buying a unit, why not give yourself a favour. Get the prelude. I know they're not fast enough, but should b pretty good for non turbo cars. Also you will save money on insurance and you can use that extra cash for your new house repayment.

Am I making sense this way?

I think low 15s is optimistic at best. Go the wrx out of those two - the prelude is not even in the same league!

honestly, the "I'll get a newer car" theory kind of shits me. Get the best car you can for your money. That definitely doesn't mean get a newer car.

With that budget I'd be looking at either a tight s14a or a very nice r32

rs73, that would be the wisest choice as it would cost me the least to run and would be an ok compromise for a little while. DaiOni, i agree that newer doesn't mean better, but from a financial perspective, the car that will hold the most value in the short term and with the cheapest running costs would probably be more suited to my situation. But then again, a little extra money can often mean a lot more fun :D

      R32 Gtst - Track Car

      There are fixes for this. In industry we use compressed air for everything. It is frequently wet, and many things cannot tolerate it. So there are various forms of driers available that you can install. The simplest option for something like this would be a dessicant drier. Much cheaper to replace some silica gel than actuator cylinders.

      That's a solid update mate, well done at WA FOS. You may already know this, but the actuators on the paddle shift are a service item and are sadly not that reliable. As I understand it they collect water from the compressor (condensation) which then rusts the bores/pistons in the actuators. A mate of mine had no end of trouble with them in one if his circuit cars, apparently it's a 'known issue'. Buy a couple of spares at great expense to ensure you never have any problems with the ones you've got! Any clues about what the new WTAC rules might be? While faster cars are cool the Pro class arms race has got to the point where you wouldn't even bother entering without a $1m budget and even then I don't think you'd win.

      Question about R34 GTT A/T Solenoids

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      https://nissan.epc-data.com/skyline/er34/3945-rb25det/trans/317/31940N/ The pictures of the part you're talking about is clearly not just one solenoid. You can see another picture of it here: https://www.alltranz.com.au/shop/drivetrain/automatic-transmission/RE5R01A/product/9305/ The 4 speed automatic in the GTT is Nissan corporate stuff. You can search up similar jobs done on a Frontier or Pathfinder with a RE4R01B to get an idea for what the internals are going to look like and the procedure like this:
