Hey guys i have gone back to university which is kool but sucks at the same time because i have no money to fund my car fetish. So for under 5K i am looking for a base to start a project car so far the best idea i have come up with is a Toyota Cressida, then when i save up source a JZX81 front cut and convert it to a beast, any others ideas would help

Thanks Jamie

Mitsubishi Galant VR4. If you could stretch a little more out of the budget, it would be worth it. Some of those cars have been on there for ages, so you never know what offers they'll take.

Get an Na S13 and put a RB30E in it and turbo it like fatz. If I only had 5g to start that's what i would do :happy:

+1 for the s13 idea. for ~1.5k you could have a rolling shell. for another 3k you could have a rb30/25 in there if you play your cards right. you might go over, but a project isnt a project unless you blow your budget.

Sigma Turbo - Rare and in your price range .. Would pump most machines on the rd

it wont take it unless he rebuilds the motor or drops something decent in there.

Cefiro, 1988. You can pick one up for 5k-6k. Then as you earn money, do some work on it as you go...

My mate is doing the same thing, great buy for the package...

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By brillo · Posted

      Yes I can see how that would put you off HFM, especially with the price of good quality brake fluid. From what I understand it as you say the BM50 is the standard BMC for a R32 GTR, I must admit I would like to go far a Genuine Nissan BM57, but lack of cash prevents that at present. With the price being so close between the genuine BM50 and BM57 a BM57 New it seems a better choice as you gain that 1/16 bore size with the BM57, I would be interested in how much difference you feel with the BM57 fitted. I am going to take SteveL's advice in the short term and see how much actually comes out of that proportioning valve vent and save up for the Genuine Nissan part. Thanks for clarifying the HFM failure

      Thanks mate. I just got the post inspection 1/2 done from state roads when the starter motor packed up, either that or the car alarm system is having trouble.  OEM part number 23300-AA112.

      Starter motor replacment teeth count.

      By oHBoy. · Posted

      Hi, I though I was coming to an end in finding a replacement starter motor for a rb25de neo. I came across a starter motor from Taarks and a message below stating: Direct fit. 11 Tooth count. All below part numbers have been superseded to 11 teeth. Can some body shed some light on going from 8 teeth to 11 teeth apart from 36-month / 25,000 km warranty for passenger vehicles to 12 Month Warranty. Compatible with the following Nissan part numbers: 23300-20P00 23300-20P01 23300-20P05 23300-20P10 23300-20P11 23300-AA111 23300-AA112 23300-AA300 23300-08U10 23300-08U11 23300-08U15

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      Low battery? Maybe check capacity? I know first-hand, on BMWs if your battery drops below 80% capacity, it starts causing strange issues.

      Wheel Sizes & Offsets For Skylines

      8.5 +37 = should fit rear, but I think it'll hit on front. What you want is low 30s/high 20's front, mid 30's rear. That 17" screenshot you posted looks good, I'd run it on my R32 (but that's long dead now). For tyre sizes, my rule of thumb is: 8': 235, 9": 255. But that's just my opinion. Nismo sizes: 18x8.5+35/18x9.5+38 is a good starting point.
