there is a really nice silver v35 at jap cars atm

62000kms its the test car for compliance (for car to bring it to get the compliance plate) so its immac

but its a 5speed auto and not premium edition

but was listed at $27k drive away dennis quoted $25k drive away with year rego etc

prob could get even cheaper if you tried

[dezz]

Nah wouldn't get an auto...and if I did go for the V35 I'd go either black or white...

32 GTR I'd go black, gunmetal or white as a 3rd pref.

[KURAUN]

yeh thought that would turn you off

still was a very nice car though

they actually look not bad in red to

[dezz]

yeah red would be a definite option as well..

[paulr33]

yeah just thinking - people call them the baby gtr

just saw over 100 commodores pull out of an industrial street onto ferntree gully road at around 1:40am.

Does anyone know what was happening? Driving down an empty road and then there is a massive convoy of cars spilling out of a dark street haha

[funkymonkey]

does the GTIR pulsar have anything in common with the skyline gtr

is the 4wd system even remotely similar?

the transfer system is. there ends the similarity. AWD bias, direction etc is all different. GTIR > GTR ATTESA personally

Just saw southern cross sticker on the back window of a banged up non-turbo r33 sedan

If you're thinking of getting one be prepared to spend a lot of money on maintenance. So in that respect they're very similar to an R32 GT-R, they're getting on in years and they're expensive to maintain.

Oh, and you'll love dropping the engine to change a clutch. Their gearboxes aren't the strongest things around either. And they don't handle fantastically, weight distribution isn't great. Other than that they're cool little things. They had the best SR20DET that was ever released, quad throttle bodies, the biggest turbo on any SR20DET.

nah wasnt thinking of buying one

i was at the car wash the other day and GTRDNA came in, gtir pulsar and i got me thinking how much do they even have in common

the only common item i knew of was individual throttle bodies. the rest is similar, but not the same, i mean we could say a WRX has GTR DNA as its 4wd turbo blah blah so anyhoo its not really gtr dna or a baby gtr

[brat81]

got a mate that wants to buy a new car but only wants to spend 5k and wants something reliable and he keeps asking me about commodores.......... sigh

[paulr33]

commodore is fine for a first car ?

what do you expect him to buy for 5k ? sounds reasonable

my first car was a vl calais auto, was fine, pretty relibable, didnt miss a beat

it's not his first car it will be his 3rd car his first car was a rolla KE35 (beast) car he has now VN wants to sell it and buy a VP. Got him thinking about a soarer

[funkymonkey]

5K? buy an S13. If he wants reliable maybe direct him to a Cressida. RWD, not bad looks, relatively fun to drive, and reliable as fuck... until you start modding it.

Later down the track he can chuck a 1JZ in, lock the diff and rip some skids for the 'tarded kids.
