One day .. maybe in like 5 years my next car will (hopefully) be a s14 that I can whack a 180 front on.. big wide bodykit.. roll cage.. etc mmm track car.

But if you want to keep your import but have a 'legit' car why not just get a s14 or s15? A lot of business type people own those (... and don't DRIVE them).

P.S. I should also suggest that if you're a high profile employee who can actually make it a talking point and turn it to your advantage etc then it's actually a good thing to be able to have something that stands out. I see people in 200's and other German ford-laser level cars (318's etc) and it seems to be very very common..

For example I'm in a consultancy role at a major and stiff financial company... Whenever I get the chance to go to things in the cefiro I do, it presents like a piece of shit compared to the other cars there and it's not like these people think it's PHAT because it has dish, a kit and induction noise etc, nor do they care how it handles, drifts or goes... But they remember me and the car and think "ahh that bloke likes to modify cars".. That gets me into their consciousness, then it's up to my skill and competency (and bullshit skills) to sell and build credibility..

Other people use other ways to be noticed, like they fit in, work hard and hope they're noticed that way... *shrug* horses for courses mate but either way good luck :D

What does everyone else plan on buying for their next car? Another skyline or a bigger car because you now have a family or.............?

Cheers

Id suggest a nice Series 2 model Stagea.

Whether that be a RS4 (RB25det) or a RS260 Autech GTR Stagea wagon (RB26dett) thats up to you and the wallet.

They look nice, rare, and go like the clappers.

Ferrari of whatever current model.. :P

hmm.. maybe chaser jzx100

Then again, the 'practicality' of a 4 door is not much better than a coupe when it comes down to it (having owned a few)... You still don't have enough boot space for the big long or larger items. For that you need a hatch or a wagon. The only thing it's a bit more convenient for passengers, and well stuff them :D

If "class" wasn't an issue, I'll just keep my R32.. for price, handling, performance (having turfed the rb20), knowledge of the car, power/weight, there isn't much better. It's a bit daggy on the inside these days, but then again what isn't unless you bend over on the price. And whatever else "new" will be ever-outdated in 3 years after that. Why keep playing the game until you die purchasing new cars every few years and blow it all over again? To me that's lame. During that time you could be travelling overseas, buying a business, going on exciting weekend adventures, furnish your house with the best furniture, etc, etc rather than spending maybe 40% of your weekly income maintaining some new car.

I was thinking no matter what you're going to buy you're going to get shafted with the resale and that never makes you get richer faster, so why not just stick to whatever you've blown all the money on

Why not get another Nissan - the 350Z ?

You have a choice of Coupe or Convertible (My wifes choice - her Turn next)

And it would be a corporate approved conveyance :D

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      By RP1421 · Posted

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
