in your professional opinions, wat would be an ideal first car for up to 15 grand?? i would really love an r33, but i know you would be really pushing it for a good condition turbo r33 for 15. (im not interested in a sedan) if u know of any r33 gts-t's for under 15 please let me know. anyways, ive been looking at s13's, s14's, 180's, r32's and supras. my preference would be either a 180 or an r32, as u can get good examples of them for under 15. anyway, wat do u guys reckon?? or any other suggestions?? thanks

I rekon you should get a nice R32 GTS-t or 180SX, or you could get a naturally aspirated R33 found around $14,000 ~ $15,000, plus with natural aspiration insurance will be alot cheaper and so will fuel bills etc, but GTS' have 4 stud wheels and not 5 stud. :P

thanks for the opinions guys!! yeh that bluebird looked good, until i seen its an auto:( in my personal opinion i reckon the skyline sedans are pretty ugly, just my preference. a sileighty would be good, even better would be a onevia, wat kind of prices do onevias fetch? anyway, it will most likely come down to either a 180 or a r32. wat u guys reckon? or any other suggestions?

R32 GTS4-t? Not hugely powerful, dulled a little by 4WD over GTS-t, but a nice stable platform with (der) 4WD (and its the good stuff from the GT-R, not a cheap version). Easy to drop a new engine into it when you want more powah.

I'd stay away from the Silvia's personally: lot of power in a light car = too many ploughed into things.

      Yeah based on old XRC5964S specs, it looks to be roughly GTX3576R sized? But this 5964S compressor will flow 90lb airflow somewhat similar to the compressors in both the GTX3584RS or G35-1050.. I fully expected the 0.64 rear A/R to choke up top - seems way too small from typical convention - but these are seemingly beneficial over the prior 0.82 results.. Be interesting to see if he comments on the EFR question in that thread - he mentioned in a prior video that BW EFR's were the "cats pajamas 10 years ago", but by the sounds of things all his kits have been using Xona for quite a while now.

      Yeah it’s still got the oem manual gearbox and clutch, only kinda mods are a blow off valve, coil overs, and a aftermarket intercooler. Also had it for about 2 months now with a lovely midnight purple paint on it.

      Yeeeppp, been following a lot of the testing on the latest Xona stuff and there are some mental results.  He also went over 1000hp @ 4 hubs on his Mainline with a XRE6364S (63mm) which was also well into the 20psi range before 4000rpm on a 2.5. Crazy stuff. Fwiw the XRE5964S is basically the modern equivalent of their old HTA3582 - would drive nicely enough on an RB25 or 26, but proven capable of a huge amount of power if you want to spicy with rpm tho even at sane boost levels will make stout numbers

      R33 GTST Axles

      The axels in my R33 seem tired, and have a bit of play in them. I cannot find any new of course, not interested in buying used, but I am looking to see if anyone can identify some cross compatible axles. In the states I have seen suggested for S chassis the J30 axles, however for the skyline (as best I can tell) the lengths are about an inch off (2.5cm) on both sides. R33 my measure L 22" R 24.5" GPT L 22.5" 24.25" J30 L 23.5" 25.5"  so shaft length is probably an inch wider. Not sure if someone has another still remanufactured option besides the J30. I figured worst case I can buy a pair tear them down and swap the center shaft. My other option was reaching out to GSP to see if they cannot piece together a set, since the axle stubs are still manufactured, I wouldn't think it be that hard to find a shaft or make a shaft work.
