Hey Smurf, I'll sell you my Bentley for a bit over $50,000. Nowhere near as common as a C200 and much more impressive. I impress clients by having multiple cars. One guy this week commented that he'd never been in the same car twice with me. He loved my little Peugeot 205 GTI. Just because they're in $2,000 suits doesn't mean they can't appreciate a good car, regardless of the brand.

I aint ever gonna get rid of my 32. Keeping it forever! Wouldnt mind a Toyota Chaser though. They have that business look to it but i hear they go like a shower of shit! Stick to your guns mate if Skylines are your passion. Leather retrim; do that and it will seem as if your skyline is more 'businessy'. HEHEH. But im definitely waiting for the prices of R34 GTR's to decrease. Give it a few more years. If i have kids by then, no matter, they can get in the boot. And im not joking! :)

I'll add another to my list:

2006 Renaultsport Clio

147kw nat atmo 4cyl engine

6 speed manual

5 star crash safety rating

All in a supermini bodyshell! What more could you want?

And it has other groovy things like an F1 style rear diffuser and keyless-go.

MY next car will be a V35, not sure which model tho, theres the 158 kw AWD 250 GT from early 2000's or the 190kw 300GT or the 200kw 350GT. check out this site for skyline specs, prices look very good:

I saw a 350GT8 for sale in Sydney on carsales a couple of weeks ago for $32000, with ~25000kms or so. In the US you can get the 350GT in awd, which would be very nice. Something rwd with decent power, good brakes and good handling.

Went from a R32 GTS4 to a 3.5 tippy magna and though its not bad as a family car, looking forward to getting something a bit sportier next time. Only wish the kids car seats weren't so wide, it was a real squish in the back for an adult with 2 car seats in the back of the R32 coupe!

anybody here with an R34 sedan and 3 kids? that centre seat cushion doesn't look to accomodating for a 3rd person...

so V35 for me... when the kids are out of their car seats

I have no idea what my next car will be.

Ive almost purchased my apartment, so money will be an issue. I still have my gtr to sell, but i want to get out of the whole sports car/jap imports scene. Im getting old (25) and getting picked on by police sucks. I want a nice fancy car with not too little power that has a sunroof and leather interior. I also want to spend less than 30k. Any ideas ?

I hear that, would love to do the same. I just want something semi luxury that is good to cruise in.

    • Also, I logged some data from the ECU for each session (mostly oil pressures and various temps, but also speed, revs etc, can't believe I forgot accelerator position). The Ecutek data loads nicely to datazap, I got good data from sessions 2, 3 and 4: https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-2?log=0&data=7 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-3?log=0&data=6 https://datazap.me/u/duncanhandleyhgeconsultingcomau/250813-wakefield-session-4?log=0&data=6 Each session is cut into 3 files but loaded together, you can change between them in the top left. As the test sessions are mostly about the car, not me, I basically start by checking the oil pressure (good, or at least consistent all day). These have an electrically controlled oil pump which targets 25psi(!) at low load and 50 at high. I'm running a much thicker oil than recommended by nissan (they said 0w20, I'm running 10w40) so its a little higher. The main thing is that it doesn't drop too far, eg in the long left hand fish hook, or under brakes so I know I'm not getting oil surge. Good start. Then Oil and Coolant temp, plus intercooler and intake temps, like this: Keeping in mind ambient was about 5o at session 2, I'd say the oil temp is good. The coolant temp as OK but a big worry for hot days (it was getting to 110 back in Feb when it was 35o) so I need to keep addressing that. The water to air intercooler is working totally backwards where we get 5o air in the intake, squish/warm it in the turbos (unknown temp) then run it through the intercoolers which are say 65o max in this case, then the result is 20o air into the engine......the day was too atypical to draw a conclusion on that I think, in the united states of freedom they do a lot of upsizing the intercooler and heat exchanger cores to get those temps down but they were OK this time. The other interesting (but not concerning) part for me was the turbo speed vs boost graph: I circled an example from the main straight. With the tune boost peaks at around 18psi but it deliberately drops to about 14psi at redline because the turbos are tiny - they choke at high revs and just create more heat than power if you run them hard all the way. But you can also see the turbo speed at the same time; it raises from about 180,000rpm to 210,000rpm which the boost falls....imagine the turbine speed if they held 18psi to redline. The wastegates are electrically controlled so there is a heap of logic about boost target, actual boost, delta etc etc but it all seems to work well
    • hahah when youtube subscribers are faster than my updates here. Yes some vid from the day is up, here:  Note that as with all track day videos it is boring watching after the bloopers at the start.  The off was a genuine surprise to me, I've literally done a thousand laps around the place and I've never had instability there; basically it rolled into oversteer, slipped, gripped and spat me out. On the way off I mowed down one of the instructor's cones and it sat there all day looking at me with accusing cone eyes as I drove past. 1:13:20 was my fastest lap, and it was in the second session, 3rd lap.  It (or me!) got slower throughout the day as it got hotter.      
    • It sounds like you want what the Toyota Landcruisers have for their roof racks. Wanna know what you end up with? Rust holes in the roof, and water everywhere...
    • Discovered today that if I select reverse first and take my foot off the brake, then select drive, the drive indicator light works and so does the tiptronic gear indicator. 
    • Ok so after much research and talking with knowledgeable people I've got my turbo conversion done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.  Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd. But nothing drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic.  I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Does anyone here have any ideas?   Cheers guys
