lol back in the day I was driving a 180sx on my P's.

That Clio looks horn in a widebody kit, but I bet you any money the kit and paint etc all come to over 10k alone. New Mazda 3's also a nice hot hatch, good on insurance and fuel.

As someone suggested before... a 3.0L straight 6 N/A Soarer, Aristo or Supra... same engine in 3 totally different cars... Soarer is sorta sporty and pimp, the asristo is straight out gangsta, and the supra is sporty.

Can i be a bitch? If u dont wanna read this then pass and read on -

All cars suck at keeping value - in the last 3 years ive had my car ive noticed that on general ALL skylines drop by about 2k MAX per year. IE spend your 20k now, and this time next year its 18k, then 16k, then 14k in 3 years...

If you were looking at doing something with your money would u buy something that depreciates as bad?

My advice is buy a house with 20k, and enjoy the wealth. when u are 30 years old and have your own house almost paid off, then buy a nice car to go with it FFS.

/end rant - r34 manual :)

Now this is my kind of plan. Never truer words spoken... with 1st time buyer bonus thats a great chunk off.

dont wate your cash on the house.It will depress the hell out of you seeing all your hard earned cash blown on a house.Wait till your married for that...why should girls have it all easy ?

I would go the NA supra...its probably the quickest of the bunch and with very little visual differences fro m the turbo RZ

go the old datto 1600. then build a relativly tuff l20b, or l18 if you want it to rev more. then keep the extra 10k left after modding and the money saved on insurance and get a gtr when your finished your p's.

parts are cheaper. and while it will never be as fast in a straight line( well not until you dump in a sr/ca turbs) i know of a few that will would give some rwd lines and run for thier money throught the mountains.

then again i have a soft spot for em.

i would buy a cheap puss bucket or keep the car you have, and keep driving that and saving, till you get off your 'P's then you should have easily enough to buy your twin turbo GTR and plus the money left over to Fix it, and possibly throw some mods on :P

Just my opinion :P

      Does RB25DE Neo lower intake work with RB25DET Neo Upper intake manifold?

      By R34_GT to Turbo · Posted

      Ok I get you. But isn’t the butterfly intake a headache with the +T?  see this is my plan so far but please advise me into the right direction.  Nistune Ecu, 1000cc Bosch injectors, TD05 or TD06 Kinugawa turbo using stock rb25det exhuast manifold, walbro fuel pump unsure of model I think it’s 450/460, spitfire coils and sparks to suit and a R35 MAF sensor and boost sensor.    I was thinking maybe do a cheap eBay plenum $400-500 or try find a stock det neo intake. I think I’d port match it so it’s getting the full capacity but open to advice please.  Thanks

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      The issue now is the 'fuel cut' while driving, and when it happend, it does not stall. This, I did not test the fuel pressure while driving as I cannot with a fuel pressure gauge. I do have Nistune logs, yes. I have also replaced the MAF Sensor.   Also related to the FPG Fuel Hanger – I just realized that I need a Deutsch Crimp Tool to crimp some cables for the FPG Fuel Hanger. Need to purchase additional cables as the kit only included 2, which are for the float. FPG has not responded to my emails so far since purchasing. I thought about taking it to someone and having it done professionally, but I am reluctant since everyone I took it to messed up in some way.

      The German place in Cabramatta was rock solid, fresh pretzel cooked to order back then. Then it went all quiet, after all the poker machines were removed, then I believe it closed for good. I did drive past the other week and noticed outdoor lighting a big screen, but no idea what is there now.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Yeah I suspect even if you hold airmass per cycle/cylinder constant if you get too far away from stock you're still going to have problems running the factory tune within the bounds of the factory load scale. Cams, different displacement/rod ratio, etc. I'm just lucky that the GTIII-SS with wastegate boost + CA compliance cats is pretty much equivalent to stock turbos. When I have actual space I can finally get it tuned and modify the fuel system for flex fuel to 100% handle any detonation concerns when cranking the boost to whatever those dinky turbos can put out.
