I dont think i would buy any of those! I'll put in my vote in for the FPV. I like M3's but not the E36. I prefer the E30 and E42. Some other alternatives:

Plenty of quick sedans around that price range:

Alfa Romeo 156 GTA (V6, 184kw)

V35 Nissan Skyline GT-8 (V6, 206kw)

E34 BMW M5 (i6, 234kw)

B5 Audi S4 (V6 biturbo, 195kw)

W202 Mercedes C43 AMG (V8, 225kw)

X308 Jaguar XJR (V8 supercharged, 276kw)

Or some japanese coupes:

V35 Nissan 350GT Coupe (V6, 206kw)

Honda S2000 (i4, 176kw)

And my favourite (but horribly impractical) idea:

E31 BMW 850Ci (V12, 220kw) or BMW 850CSi (V12, 280kw), as shown below:

Mazda RX-7 Series 8 - My first choice also with a few mods.or 2nd hand job and do it up with the cash saved.

Nissan 350Z Z33 Track - My second choice.I have seen good reveiws about this car in BMI with a few mods.

BMW M3 E36 - My third choice.witha few power and handeling mods.cant go past that luxury and power

Toyota Supra 2JZ TT- meh.toss up between it and the BMW.It would out power the M3 but not outhandle.

I'd have to go the RX7, theyre fast, powerful, sleek, sexy, and sound really f**king nice...

second choice would be the Supra, but i know too many people with a supra, i dont know anyone personally with an RX7...

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
