GIVE ME YOUR HONEST OPINION

Ok i would like to hear everyones suggestions, this is what im looking for:

The car can be any make, honda, nissan etc etc.

Car cannot be more then $15,000 (the cheaper the better, because of stupid insurance).

Car needs to doo 0-100 under 7.0 secs

Car doesnt need to be turbo, but would prefer turbo.

Car cannot have more then 100,000km.

CAR MUST BE MANUAL.

OK GUYS SHOOT, try not to right much everyone cause i dont want to have to search to much through this post lol.

Eg. THis is good:

Car: Nissan Skyline R32 GTST

and tell me why you recommend that car in no more then around 50 words.

I know this seems like a bit of a game, and some people might be annoyed by this post, so you ppl dont have to post lol, only happy comments lol.

Thx Everyone in advance.

Mate if you can't afford comperhensive insurance then please do think it though first before buying a car because you are putting yourself and others at risk.

Nah its not so much that i cant afford it as i just dont feel like paying $2500 for a N/A r34. It just seems like a waste of money no matter how much i love the car, thats why i want something cheap, because 3 party covers the other car and just car covers $5,000 to your own car, second of all im a pretty safe driver i just like the whole turbo thing with the blow off valve, thats right im a wog lol. I know this reply is late as but im on holidays from uni so dont judge me lol.

Just read the fine print on the old justcars thing with the $5k hey. Once you pay your premium, and the excess then you get your $5k. But justcars keep your car if its recovered, and the rego on it. Sure you might have first option to buy it back, but my guess thats going to cost more than what justcars give you. Its not a good deal.

With the safe driver thing. About 80% of drivers reckon they are an above average driver, do the maths on that. I've never seen you drive so I cant comment either way. Just putting it out there most drivers think they are a whole lot better than they really are. That said a defencive driving course does nothing to reduce your justcars premium.

So I think maybe spend $10k (which will still get you something quite nice) and keep the rest for proper insurance. Maybe look at a s13 or something?

Pm Coming up some time soon

GTiR FTW!!!

Quick from stock, AWD, and looks better than a riceline :P (sorry guys, had to do it) SR20 easy to get good power figures out of, and parts are available for them.

OR

SW20 MR2. bout 12k for a decent one, with money left over for insurance (dont ever go without insurance) Turbo 2L, Mid Mounted, look damn sexy

either of those are good IMO

or if you got no cash you could always get an....................XF Falcon :D

A 32 GTS-T can be had for $6k - $8k these days, I know of a AWD 32 GTS-T going for $10k. Still leaves some cash for insurance.

After seeing a friend running around without insurance and then having someone t-bone him in a shopping centre and the dramas he has had trying to get them to pay and get his car back it isn't worth not having full comprehensive insurance.

If you want some go without the high premium then consider an aussie sold car. Imports attract a high premium price with most insurers.

For cheap thrills get a Gemini and whack a 2.6L engine out of a rodeo in it and turbo it..... wouldn't even be worth insuring either.

Oh im not saying im a good driver or anything, i just follow the road rules, thats all i meant i know everyone thinks they are great drivers lol. Yeah thats why i want something cheeper because then comrehensive might be cheeper and i might get that.

    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
    • When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
    • Seems like a decent result for a modded JZX110. They are bulky in comparison to the 100 and 90 models (which I'd prefer myself) but they are getting very few and far between here in JP these days. Thanks for the detailed review and the import process into the UK. I also have a car which I'm hoping to export from Japan at some stage so it's good to know if someone from the UK was interested in it. By the way the corrosion underneath is par for the course for cars which were located in/near the mountains or along the Japan sea coastline. They get huge amounts of snow every winter and the sodium chloride is used on the roads. Many cars have some kind of rubber like treatment underneath but they tend to limit it to the wheel arches underbody and fuel tank. Suspension arms and sub-frames will have similar corrosion to your JZX110 which is a common sight. See it all the time and car dealers here generally don't even mention it unless asked.
    • If the sound goes away when you clutch in, the 1.5/2 way diffs are just shit, and you are a normal person. The diff is likely "fine" but driving at anything under 30kmh is a violent horrible experience. It would be exaggerated with solid diff bushings and subframe bushings if you have those.
