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

      I know people cry at the price of the Getrag 12-14k for a conversion now, but it really is a nice mid point. Not going to get change from 10k on a gearset installed.  $30k++ for sequential.   I know you run the risk of a damaged used one and parts are hard to get but as a street car gearbox its really hard to beat. If you enjoy a more traditional manual, its the choice no question.
