Hyundai Excel!

You'll have spare for insurance etc if you get that. Cheap to run and quite reliable too. I've got 3 uni friends that got them and not much problem selling too (they probably made a loss of 100-300 after using it for 2yrs).

corolla ftw..

my cousin bought one for 1500 bucks about 10 months ago, runs to redline all day everyday, he's crashed it twice and it still goes fine.. cheap as chips to run.

edit just saw your budget is 6k..

go for a ae101 toyota levin.. 120kw's, 180torques.. will redline to 8400rpm all day everyday...

excel... cheap, easy, about a million of them to choose from, pretty user friendly, easy to fix if broken, did i mention cheap...

also, something no one has pointed out yet... when you buy and excel you will be even more motivated to save faster to get the R34 cause you will be embarrassed...

Thanks for the suggestions guys, really dont want an excel though.

My concern with the excel is that I will f**king die if i have a crash.

Just found out that i can pay an extra $1000.00 to insure my mums Audi TT with Just Car which means ill be able to drive it until I get the GTR.

Think thats the way ill go. All its gonna cost me is a $1,000 (cause ill only need 1 year to save the money) + fuel

    • 1. I can't see a location on your profile but you do mention GBP so I'll assume you are in UK. In Australia, CBC make a timing belt kit with the gears and idler and tension bearing and that is what I use without any problems. I'm sure OEM or HKS are also fine but I wouldn't pay extra for HKS over anything else. 2. Yes, I would always change the idler and tensioner and the stud and bolt that hold them in. Assuming they were all done last time it is highly unlikely you would have a problem, but they are very cheap to add to the job considering the time it will take anyway.  3. No, you don't need to lock them as such (I think that is more for engines without timing marks), but you should make sure they move as little as possible once the belt is off as you can hit pistons on valves if they move too far. As always, make sure you line it all up to top dead centre with the timing marks aligned before you take the old belt off.

    • Hey everyone,   I’m looking for some advice on replacing the timing belt on my RB25DET Neo-powered 1998 Skyline. The engine was fully built about five years ago, including a fresh timing belt, water pump, and other essentials. However, since then, the car has only covered around 2,000–3,000 miles. It’s currently making around 650hp.   Even though the mileage is low, I know timing belts have a time-based lifespan too, and most recommendations suggest changing them every five to six years or 50,000 miles. Since I’m at that time mark, I’d rather not take any risks and plan to swap it out soon.   A few things I’d like to hear opinions on: 1. What’s the best belt for this setup? Should I go with an OEM Nissan belt, or is the HKS fine-tune a better choice given the power level? 2. Would you bother replacing the idler pulley and tensioner at the same time, or only if they show wear? 3. When swapping the belt, is it necessary to lock the cam and crank gears in place, or is lining up the timing marks enough? I’ve seen different approaches, and I want to make sure I do it right.   The water pump was changed with the rebuild and isn’t run off the timing belt, so I don’t see a need to replace it again. I just want to make sure I approach this the right way.   Any insight would be much appreciated. Thanks!
