Hello Australia

I was wondering for the last 2 years I have been driving a Hyundai Getz and well I want to upgrade to something that has a lot of appeal, and style but in the same time can go really really fast, really really quickly. I know that sounds like I’m a dickhead that just wants a kool car, but after driving a Getz for 2 year I think all of you would know what I mean. I mean 50cc scooters overtake me, lol.

Any way I have around about $28,500 to spend on a car and well I was looking at 3 types of cars and if anyone could tell me the pros and cons about them that would be grate I know that this is a Skyline forum and you will all say that the skyline will kick ass but yeah I just need to know about all 3 cars. The cars that I’m looking to buy are:

1. 1994 RX-7 with a brand new re-build

2. 1990 R32 Nissan Skyline GT-R with a re-build

3. 1994 Toyota Supra RZ

So if you all could give me a hand on deciding, what would be the best that would be mad.

Best regards Vlad Adam

1.Rx7, is an awsome machine; what was done in thre rebuild? is it still running factory twin turbo? as they are know to brake. But overall rx7 is a very mean track car, and they can be built to handle alot of power with very little lag

3. dont know much about the supra but i know the 1 and 2jz engine are very strong and can handle some hardcore figures on stock internals

Well, considering you're ona skyline forum, you can imagine what everyone is going to say, but I'll give you as unbiased an opinion as I can manage:

RX-7: It's a rotary, and I personally don't really 'get' rotaries. It's a little different, and not a bad little car, but no 'kick in the pants' appeal.

Supra: Good kick in the pants appeal, solid engine, but common as dogs balls. Also, tend to get heavy and slidey when you need grip the most.

R32 GTR: It wasn't banned from touring cars for nothing. 4wd, 4 wheel steer, plenty of grunt, an automotive revolution. Drawback: Err..... The amount of attention you'll get from being too damn sexy.

Seriously though, if you want a dyno queen, with a bit of looks, go the supre, if you want a car that's a little different, with a few quirks, go the FC, if you want a great all round car that'll take those impossible corners, get the GTR.

And going from a getz, um, well, test drive them all first. dropping the pedal in a getz might jar you a little, in any of the above cars, it might put your back out.

If AWD isn't your thing, you could always look at a GTS-T, kind of like a 2wd GTR 'lite'.

then again, it's all individual tastes, I'm sure plenty of supra drivers and rotary lovers will tell you a different story. Just figure out what you want your car to do, and then pick the car that does it.

    • Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US.  My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP. 
    • No. BSP lost to the cultural/technical imperialism of living next to Trumpistan. Face it, Robertson screws were better and still pretty much lost out to the yank stuff. The Europeans hate the Brits and they don't use NPT. NPT is just as "imperial" as BSP is, being based on those useless inch thingos. Just done differently. 
    • I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.       
    • Thanks for that! I did a quick Google search looked up some of hydaulic stores and didn't see it listed on the website, I'll give them a ring. Also found out later that I can buy 2 oem bleeder bolts for 10 bux and come with the washer which I might do so I don't waste the money it costs in petrol to find 2 washers (already did that lol). The old copper washes look in good nick, I drove it after taking it off and putting it back on and didn't see any  Part number here for reference if anyone needs: 14053-42L0A
