Hey,

Well my little brother will turn 16 a bit later this year so the first car hunt begins....

I was just after some advice and what kind of cars would fit his critera... Since i have bought my Skyline and we have gone to a couple runs, one from here and another mixed jap car run, he wants a jap car.

so the critera is...

Must be Non-Turbo,

Must be a Jap Car,

Must be Kinda Sporty,

Must be Nippy not Slow as,

Must be a safe and resonably reliable car,

Must be $6000 or Under.

Any ideas?

what does the starlet go lik?

it's a mid 90's gt turbo starlet! 1.3 litre 4 cylinder but it goes pretty hard for a 1.3 litre turbo! it's nothing really serious but it can hit 0-100kph in 7-8 secs!

Damn sorry its got to be NON turbo

s13/180sx SR20DE. Not sure if u can get them for $6000 but i wouldnt even think about CA18DE...even a twin cam rolla is faster :P

And if u want something different, my freind selling his AE92 Levin supercharged. He also is looking AROUND $6000. PM if interested in pics/info.

got to be non turbo and not super charged

there's not much he can pick up in the sporty jap car range for 6K other than the aforementioned non turbo s13. Get him a SSS pulsar its got an sr20de in it. Goes hard for what it is. N14 92-95(i think) model if he's lucky.

My advice for a first car is to get the latest model Corolla he can get for the money.

Yeah gotta agree, "Rolla's are pretty much bomb proof, go well enough, and resales excellent.

If he wants something with a more sporty image, you'll be getting an older car but I would choose an N14 Pulsar Q or SSS (SR20DE) or an ealier Twin Cam Corolla.

And, a front driver can let him master clutch/shifting/heel-toe etc without him wanting to be sideways everywhere like most young guys. It may keep him alive longer. :P

My advise is to get him a shit box for the first car we all know what we were like when we got our Ps BURNOUTS, DRIFTING AND RUNNING A MUCK. No use wreaking a good car let him learn in a 1000 doller r31 you can pic them up in good con for that. Then the future when he wants more power dump a rb20det in it

    • 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.
