Hey,

wanting to get some more opinions on a new car, considering a R32 GT-R V-Spec, Series 6 RX-7 or a V35 Skyline Coupe. looking to spend around 20K so the V35 coupe and RX-7 will be hard to find that cheap. Will be importing from Japan probs after tax return and dependent on price mabey a few more months of saving. Have considered; RZ Supra, R33 GT-R, R34 GT-T, WRX, Evo, 3000GT, GTO, Silvias, B4 liberty, Soarar and Galants. any more cars to consider or any opinions would be good.

Thanks Luke

youre not going to find a v35, rx7, or gtr vspec that you wouldnt have to pour substantial amounts of money into. keep saving.

agreed, and the vspecs are usually 25k minimum at that. you could get a 32 gtr for $20k but I suspect it'd need lots of work done

It really depends what you are looking to use the car for? GTR would be my choice but the round lights definetly attract the wrong attention, Mazda FD would be very nice (the shape never seems to age). V35 would be the best choice if the car was driven as a daily and you wanted a splash of performance.

car would be a daily, and hopefully a bit of track action in the future, have been able to find a few V35 coupes, RX-7's and R32 GT-R V-Spec's for around 20K, but they are few and far between. not too fussed waiting for a few months and getting the perfect car, will also give me more time to save :down:

If i was to buy a 32gtr, i'd want a mint, factory standard one. That looks the goods, but the price worries me.

    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
