i need some options/ideas on what to look for when buying a car probably end of this year

i was thinking a vy maloo r8 which i could also kinda use for work, but i dont think i'd wanna dirty it :(

budget would probably be ~25-30K

before anyone mentions it, im not after another skyline/gtr etc

im not really sure what else is there other than the usuals

still prefer somethin jap with decent power + luxury etc

also would prefer something 1998+ :banana:

8 g, get a skyline, spend 5 g, u can rip that malpoo R8 and you have money for an investment house left over. Enjoy :huh:

But if you really wanna spend your money, got for a Honda s2000, Hondas don't brake down but dont expect power to be anything like nissan.

Maybe 350 z?

If it's for work, forget about the Maloo. a mate of mine (a builder) had one for about 4 months, couldn't wait to get rid of it. Bottomed out on every site he went to, not enough tray space for all his tools, and all that power + no TCS/ESC scared him when it rained.

What you want it for? Daily, Weekend, Work, all?

What kind of work do you do?

You want a new car for a change?

Whats wrong with your R34 GTT?

So cars for thought...

Nissan 350Z / 370Z / V35

Toyota Supra / Chaser / Aristo

Mazda RX7 FD

^^ tuff!

but i dont want anything that big, biggest i'd go is a maloo but so far i think it would be pointless for me since theres no rear seats and cant really be used for work :( but fark they are porn!

my first thought when i see a chaser is CAMRY lol but so far its top on the list...along with the 04 wrx. not a big fan of the rest of the cars mentioned

^^^ u forgot to mention its gotta be auto >_<

nah no more auto :P

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) im just after an all rounder. i'll stick with the van for work

    • Thanks for your insight, it being basically useless will impact my decision for sure. I thought it may help the engine breath better I guess. But then again, I have also been told that tuning an RB20DE is also not worth it. Exactly, we follow EU Regulations. There is a bit more leeway on older vehicles. My Porsche 924 came without a cat from factory and managed to pass, they still mentioned that I have quite high emissions on it though.
    • My apologies, I stand corrected. Thanks for registering to mention this! And thank you for actually reaching out to the council to clarify. This is the sensible thing to do and the opposite of what I was alluding you were doing. I may have seen too much outrage and hate being fueled on the internet and it has made me a somewhat cynical old man. Sometimes it is easy to forget that there are real people behind websites and accounts. In my defence, CarExpert and CarExplore do read quite similarly at a glance. I shall try and do better in the future. (Please stick around to get the latest scoops on dealing with old Nissan shitboxes )
    • Don't bother. The poor little RB20 doesn't make enough gas flow to challenge the flow capabilities of even the littlest cat, and you won't make any extra power, and all you'll do it soot up your rear bumper. Plus....is Malta not runing under Euro regs?
    • Hey Daniel, sorry to hear that and thanks for posting up for us at a really hard time I only knew SmoothLine through the forums, we never met as we are based in different states, but when he was most active on here he was quite a while back so not many of the current crowd might remember him. I am pretty sure he was active in the Queensland SQU club but that is defunct now too (times are changing and we are all getting older). Farewell SmoothLine!    
    • Turns out depending on whether the car was equipped with TCS or not there are different signals coming to the dash, meaning there are different speedo clusters.  Wired in a speedo calibrator box from aliexpress and now works fine.
