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 And whatever else "new" will be ever-outdated in 3 years after that.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

    • 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 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
    • So 10/10 times that code is coil packs? I mean if that's the case ill drop the $400USD or so to replace them. I didn't know these cars threw codes before the issue became an issue.
