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 And whatever else "new" will be ever-outdated in 3 years after that.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

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn
