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 could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
