btw i would be struggling to come up with even $500 as i have just moved into a rental with my misses and 1yr old. i have a shed though so i wish i could put a project in it. anyone feel generous? lol

welcome mate. good luck trying to find a car for under $500 though. even a rolling shell will probably go for more than that, unless it has been damaged and isn't repairable, or it's stolen. also anything that is in that sort of state would cost a lot of money to get going, much, much more than what you would buy a complete car for

hi, thanks for the advice. i know its definately a long shot for $500 i just thought id ask lol one day i hope to do a r32 project as i would like to build a rb25/30 powered rwd coupe with widebody kit(bee-r) and 34 front. i will be undertaking this project in my garage by myself as i dont have the money to pay someone else to do it and i also wont have enough money to buy a complete one. i guess im just dreaming and wanting something to build as im not working atm and im a bit bored lol. ive owned a 32 and a 33 in the past and i did a engine conversion from a 34gtr into the 32. the 33 made 260kw froma rb25 with a 2nd hand turbo lol. maybe one day ill have a bit more spare cash to buy a 32 with im not giving up on my dream

You would have to save up a bit more even doing all work yourself parts aren't always cheap. Stroud ay, i lived in Gloucester when i was growing up.

yeah its a nice place around this way. lots of great roads to drive as well. i will just keep saving until i have enough to hopefully get a 32 coupe with a rb20det in it and manual. patience is a virtue lol

this is how i want my car to look

also i would like to add i wish to build a rb30/25 with forged internals and stage 3 camshafts. running a decent sized high mount single turbo around 14-15psi with a 6 speed from a gtr modified for rwd and exedy twin plate clutch( or brass button, not sure yet(depends on how big a turbo i can afford lol)) and a kaaz 2 way. naturally im gonna need some pretty fat tyre to fill that bodykit im hopeing 18x10s & 11s will be ok. i know this is going to cost me a fortune and everyone will probably think im dreaming. maybe i am but its worth it! i love driving skylines! especially without rev limiters lol

if you manage to find a $500 one be prepared to spend at least $15k on it getting it up to par.

don't believe me - click my sig (GTS4)

also spend a bit of time with your kid

thanks chris. i love my daughter more than any car ill ever have lol. i know what you mean though. it will cost me at least 15k. maybe more.... but this is going to be an ongoing project that might take me a few years, until i am financial enough to finish it. i dont want to rush it anyway i have to buy one of those rotating car stands as i want to detail/repaint all of the underbody. your car looks very nice btw.. i can only see your display pic of it. its good to see a gts4 there not as common as gtsts.. mini gtr lucky you

you would be best off saving up and buying a crappy example for 3000 or 4000 in a few months/years, rather than a bare shell (which is all you would get for $500. that way you won't have to source windows, wiring and all that sort of stuff that would add up very quickly. it's all well and good to want to build up a project car. it's another thing to spend many times what the car is worth in the process just to get it to stock condition.

thanks hugh, i know what you mean. ive been thinking about that- as you said buy a complete one then i can start from there. ill just keep checking sau and when i have saved up enough i will get one. id say by the end of the year i might have enough hopefully.
