I'm not trying to sound like a snob or offend anyone it's just a reality for me to succeed.

A reality for you to succeed?

Firstly, i think you should get your hand off it mate and i don't mean the gear stick. You want to buy a certain type of car because of what others will think of you - are you serious?

Secondly, grow some balls and buy whateva puts a smile on your face.

Personally i'd buy a 68 Monaro and drop a Chev 427 small-block for my next ride.

MMmmmm.. im 31 now, being driving performance car more then 10 yrs now and being changing alot of cars. At this moment driving a wrex, this is a 3rd rex i have now so far (94, 02 then jump back to 99 model shape)... I being driving to many turbo car, i think i like the evo more then wrex, even GTR34 and for drifting i will go for series 2 200SX or Toyota Sprinter. This yr my next car will be in July or August, i still dunt know wat to choose yet, either 02 STI, Evo 6.5, Vpec 33 96-98 model or Rx7 series 6 or 7. So far alot of my friend tell me get Evo, very interesting but still havent found one yet in PERTH the one i like. Since im 31 now i dunt my have one luxury car as BMW E46 4 doors as family car and the other one performance car only for weekends cruising with the groups :D

I take your point. Of the cars in my price range I would be buying probably number 3 or 4 of my top 10 so I would still be quite happy.

It's partly about what people think but also my preference as well. In my circumstances I have clients with $50 million plus so a car that those people will either respect or be neutral to will be helpful. It sounds like a bit of a wank but my preference is to go well in my job than have a car with super, braking, acceleration or cornering etc.

Also, I think the V35 Skyline Coupe is a good compromise and probably would put a smile on my face. The C200 Merc would be a comfortable cruiser.

I like your idea of a 68 Monary with a 427. Just amazing engines. 7 litres of power. How much power would you be looking at?

early 90's model Beema 7 or 8 series. Wich ever had the v12. Add a couple of GT30's and your sweet for any occasion :D

sounds nice, big hp numbers, just need to spend another 4k on internals, another 6 on bolt ons and i use the term loosely and you can make 1500hp... respectable, hmmm whats she look like>?

if i was going to chase some cubes, merc styling and most importantly merc suspension, sounds the goods

nick name her panzer or king tiger, aka tiger 2, or .... leapard cuase it would be about as reliable as the famed winter special.

f**k im going to look up a early 90's v12 merc, hmmm proly stil cost over 30k,

Last-model-made, S15, and widebody it, then drop in an R34 RB26DETT, then after that project, an R34 GTR, and as a project on the side, drop and R32/33 RB26dett into a nicely refurbished 240z...:O - nice to be rolling in money ai :)

Smurf, i know my previous comment seems rough. I totally understand the need to present a professional image when it's due. But this is Australia and buying something you do not completely want simply to impress others is the wrong attitude - especially something as expensive as a car.

If you can only accommodate owning one car and you have to drive around clients, then yes you should consider a 4 door for practical reasons.

If your 50 million dollar clients are judging you on what car you drive then they have issues of their own - you should not let their prejudice or small penis size effect your life. You're not doing donuts or burnouts in the car park before meetings are you? :teehee:

In the end you have to live with it.

Anyone want to buy my R33 so i can get my next car :D

Not 100% sure what i am doing for my next car yet. Im selling my car as im getting into real estate and will eventually need a 4 door to take clients around. How ever i am starting off with a traineeship so i have a year or 2 still untill i need one and for now i get given a company car for work and out of work for that matter to.

So i have been toying around with the idea of building up another S13 with a RB20 in it again and wouldnt mind trying out some drifting at the track. And still have the rest of the money left over put aside for later when i need another car.

Would love an R34GTT or S15 but at the moment they are both out of my price range :( One day ill get my R34 Z-TUNE haha :D

im 18 and own a r33 gtst and love it!! however im 8000 dollars in debt and obviously with the ever so quickley increasing petrol prices im considereing getting a integra vtir! is that a good move? it still has power but is lighter on petrol!

I have a VTi-R. COsts me about 50 bucks to fill, get 450 kms from a tank vtecing everywhere.

Drives quite nicely, has enough power to taunt V6 commodores and falcons, even BA falcons.

Handles like a dream, can throw it into any corner at any speed and no worries. Every now and then you can get lift off from the rear if the road is a bit bumpy under brakes

I just wanted something a little sedate and nice until I finished uni and got a real job.

Just got 17's and a kit on it at the moment. And stock engine etc.

I wanted an Aus delivered car just for reliability while money was a bit tight. As soon as I find a decent job, I'll be giving the VTi-R to the GF and getting an R32 GTR and restoring it. Just for the weekends, and hopefully get a company car at some stage soon.

Uni's almost over for me.

already started the next project ;) 1985 bmw e30 320, with sr20det, upgraded diff, and the usual mods exhaust and cooler and completely stripped interior. shoudl be fun :woot: sold all the skylines might purchase one in the next couple of years got a nice n neat n good on fuel! ford laser tx3 for 800 bucks ,mwahahahaha

    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
    • Well they got my money but they are not getting my gearbox ! 
    • It's needed for rolling idle up, and I think it is a decider on VCT also.
    • I mean, not really. Link ECU's can absolutely still have errors from the ECU thinking it's getting a sensor it's not expecting. I would imagine the speed at the ECU level in Nistune does absolutely nothing anyway? I assume the ECU does not do any fancy TC stuff with regards to front+rear wheel speed or anything of that like anyway. Someone who uses Nistune may be more fluent in it.
