As the title says, what car would you have if you had your 20 - $25,000 back that you bought your nissan skyline or other nissan turbo for, what would you get now? (if skylines where out of the question)

Just wondering what all the die hard skyline fans would get if they couldnt get a skyline / or now that you have had a skyline, you might be unimpressed with it or "over it" what would you get?

I have had 3 skylines now and iam starting to think iam all skyline'ed out. Looking for other options.

I'm stuck under these P plater laws which pretty much prevent me from driving a turbo skyline and I've chosen to drive a KE70 corolla.

If I wasn't stuck under any turbo rule (and had money), I would definitely be driving a MKIV Supra.

yer seen a few mx5s that look nice cheap to! I am thinkin somethign european could be nice but if i go more luxo and get an automatic i would get really bored though. The supra tt would be nice but could be a handful.

well if i had NEVER had a skyline, i probably would have gone down the supra path and would be driving a late model TT supra

but i drive a V35 now, saying i had not gotten this, i was also looking at older merc CLK320's and maybe a an older BMW 330ci

either way i would not be as happy with my choice of car as i am with the V35!

Mx5's are known to be a girl-ish car, but they can look tough...

:P

would love an ae86 as well. I like the mx5 for the weight and the older rwd ones seen a few with 13b turbos in and at lik 990kgs they fly haha.

    • Can you enlighten me on your best practice regarding these hoses? I don't wanna make the same mistake if you already got a better solution.
    • I have some silicon hoses already, for example engine to watercooler. But yeah, I get the sentiment. The lower intercooler silicon hose is drippy too, despite not being very old. Does anyone except Nismo make these same lines out of rubber? Long term I think they'd be the better replacement, especially since the car won't live as hard a life anymore as in the past nor be driven as often.
    • I know most issues are just age related. But for example the turbo oil drains, there is dash adapters for these and you can just make a braided teflon line for them and (probably) never have them leak again. Also not terribly expensive. Can you even get the factory hardlines from new? Or are they repairable if they break?
    • I know it'd be much much easier with the tool. I hope I can find one that won't take 3 weeks to get to me an isn't a "Asian models kit" that has tons of (to me) useless adapters for a load of cash.   It's a summer project/fun car. I do wanna enjoy it, without endless downtime over and over. So yeah I would even go and buy an engine crane + stand to save myself the trouble of hard to reach or unreachable places going bad later on. Would also be a good opportunity to put on a Fluidamper, renew the mains seals and stuff like that. I have some money on the side that I can use for that, what I wouldn't want to or be able to do is let everything be done by a shop or have my engine completely rebuild right now. I intend to do most of the "doable" jobs myself. Pulling an engine can't be that hard, can it?
    • Evening all. Got this odd issue with my R34 GTT. If I let the car idle for around 15 seconds or more (even when cold) and I jab the throttle a bit, a decently sized plume of blue/grey smoke comes out the exhaust. Doesn't smoke when idling alone, just when giving it some gas after idling. No smoke on cold start or from what I know, normal driving. Not 100% sure about smoke on decel but I don't think there's any. Any pointers on what I should start doing to troubleshoot it? Or if anyone has experienced the same I'd love to get some insight. Cheers.
