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

    • 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! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
