Hey all,

Just need some options / ideas.

Im going to sell the GTR in the not to distant future, as its only my daily and id like something a bit more modern, new and able to fit 4/5 fairly comfy.

Looking for something modern

$22, 000 or less ish

Nothing older then around 2000
Prefer big enough for 4 people
Manual preferably
Sporty looking but very comfortable as a daily
Something not totally gutless

Something I can make look decent, rims lowered exhaust etc
Leaning towards a nissan V35.......

but any other ideas??

Cheers

Adam

How about something like this? It doesn't meet all your criteria but it certainly matches most of them http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-C32-2003/SSE-AD-2136168/?Cr=99&sdmvc=1

Bro-in-law owns a TRD Aurion. Nice car, plenty of grunt, lots of room for four adults, decent looking without being over the top and nice interior. Interior plastics are typical Toyota but they did a reasonble job of adding some flair with colour.

An Evo :yes:

Haha thanks mate, already had an evo :P

Just not sure about auto only and front wheel drive, but definatly on my list to atleast have a look at

Theres a 1JZ powered Lexus IS on JDMST.. Maybe worth a look if your after a faster version...

any link mate i cant see it??

can't go past a stagea, can go camping, heaps of room and power etc

Not really my thing, never been a huge fan

Interesting

Ive narrowed it down, so far. well at least want to have a look at the following

-V35

- IS200

- 350z

- GS300

- TRD aurion

Mums and Dad both drive Gs300's my sister got an is200 if I had to pick between them is say the GS purely because it is a better ride then the is but a trd aurion are quite good to my cousin has one there not as quick as a standard r34gtt but for what they are there really good

The 350z = a modern Stagea, what is it you are against exactly? Wagons?

Aurion = front wheel drive = Ghey. Adding a supercharger doesn't change anything... Just my opinion.

    • It is an absolute lottery. They can and have died at stock boost with low usage at all. The turbos are now anywhere up to 36 years old!
    • Huh, wonder why it blew then. I never really beat on the car THAT hard lol I dailyed it and the turbo blew after 6 months
    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
