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

Not really my thing, never been a huge fan

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.

    • They see me rollin' they hatin'....... Took me most of the day to make the necessary mods to the mounts to make them fit the car.  Fortunately I was able to just use the mounts that came with the rotisserie. The rear ones are really secure, the front I feel i might reinforce a bit more as it doesn't seem like enough attachment to the vehicle. I'm sure it's fine but better to be safe than (extremely...) sorry.  I drilled and tapped thread into additional M12 holes to each car mount where it attaches to the rotisserie as an extra fail-safe. Without them the side to side movement is just restricted by the allen head pinch bolts, nothing actually goes though the beam. Does now! I still need to adjust the rotisserie to get the car centred in terms of centre of gravity. If it's too high or too low relative to the rotational centre line of the car, it will be like a turtle and roll onto its back or as it currently sits, I dont think I'd be able to rotate it as it sits as it needs to lift the whole car up as it rotates. Ain't happening... I'm going to be nervous as hell the first time I go to spin it on its side...    
    • Oh yes done this when the window started flopping around.  Turns out the guides that run along the rail chanel had crumbed way. Took off the door card and pulled out the window mech, then the window, which you have to pull out through the top. As said unbolt the guide rail and don't spend 30 minutes getting frustrated trying to find a way to slide it out upwards cause that don't frigging work. Drop it down and out through the door hole. All I did to repair it was slice some 10mm clear plastic tube, vertically, then screw it to the guide rail both sides. This tubing rolls inward on both sides and leaves a gap wide enough to hold the window. To finish all I did was lube the plastic tube with olive oil and Bob's your uncle . . . well if he has the operation he can be your Aunt ! !  10 bucks in plastic tube and another 5 minute job done again . . . . YEH BULLSH#T ! My love for Skylines knows no bounds !
    • So was there a solution to this problem? I’m having this issue now. 
    • not expensive, just irreplaceable if you don't go sub 60 at wakie in that thing people will start talking
    • I haven't replaced that, but I have had the doors apart on the r32 a couple of times The door skin will be held on by a combination of clips and bolts, just take it slowly and make sure all the sneaky hidden bolts are out Once the skin is off you should be able to pop that piece off pretty easily, looks like there are only 2 bolts holding it on
