Z!G Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 If you're into power get the jza70 supra with the 1jz-gte engine(2.5l twin turbo), dont get the one with the 3l 7m-gte engine. Have you also considered a twin turbo lexus soarer? Most soarer's are auto but there aint nothing wrong with that, you just cant drift it properly.

seraphyn_r33 Posted July 6, 2004 Author Share Posted July 6, 2004 yeah, my original idea was a 1jz supra, but they are hard to find, especially in manual. im really not interested in an auto at all, theyre boring, lol. if i could find a good condition 1jz supra with manual trans i would be happy Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/45220-ideal-first-car/page/2/#findComment-922312 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lepperfish Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 You could prob find a half decent 33 GTST for 15-16k, perhaps a 32 GTST with some minor mods.. Def go the GTST whether it be 33 or 32, both great cars. Or If you could find a series 1 S14 could be another decent option...

yogi000 Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 No offence, learn how to drive first in a shit box, then buy yourself a nice performance car. Atleast u get the feels and handeling of shit box without too much power then move up, your just gonna hurt yourself if you have a heavy right foot.

Bax Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 First car, holden gemini. Edit, I'll explain more. Cheap to modify, your not gonna drop the right foot and kill yourself. They can be fairly zippy for what they are.. Panels etc are gonna be easy to source and cheap to fix. Insurance and rego will be cheap. (Not to mention if you smash it up it'll blend in with most of the others around).. What better way to find out that cars cost money, the lines between modifying, repairing, and upgrading is a big step. And with a gemi at least you'd be able to track your parts..

StuiE Posted July 6, 2004 Share Posted July 6, 2004 I agree with yogi000 and Bax, Get something not so powerful, My R31 is my first car and it IMO it's still a little too powerful for me and I have had my licence 6 months. Get a 4A-C sprinter or something, then put a 4A-GZE in it when you get the need for more power. But since you want an R33 so much you probably will...Personally I wouldn't get a NA because I would always feel like I'm in an inferior car...but thats just me. NA's are only about .5 of a second faster than a good stock R31 at most, so it has *reasonably* sensible power. You could get a shitbox then save for a good GTS-T and then you would have more driving experience,...just goota make sure you don't have to spend money on the shitbox!

lwells Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 MR2? Hmmm.. bit tail happy for a beginner I would think: if you ever lost it (round a corner I mean), good luck getting it back as an inexperienced driver. LW.

JezR31 Posted July 7, 2004 Share Posted July 7, 2004 as stock red top sr20det puts out: 150kW @ 6000 rpm 275Nm @ 4000 rpm that one puts out 183.2kw, thats quite a nice figure for a first car. The turbo has been high flowed, exhaust, its lowered, has a bodykit. But its running 14psi with the stock intercooler. I reckon its a good buy for the price and what you get for it.
