Sold The Gt-r!

[slimjim]

It's been fun, but today I bid farewell to my pride and joy! So sad to see it leave but it was the right time to sell.

Just thought I'd say thanks to everyone on here, been here around 3 years now and even though I'm a bit of a lurker, I met some good people and got lots of great advice!

What are you planning on getting now, another import?

Yes, still want a performance car, but something newer. Stuff was starting to break on the R.

But I'm undecided - FD RX7, RX8, S15, 350Z, R33 GT-R, R34 Gtt, Evo 7, WRX? haha

[KLA#ZLA]

ooooo a FD Rx7 would be soooo nice, there such a sexy car

[shy_s6]

if ya know ppl to import you can bring in a version 6 (theres 6 versions of the fd i think its only aus we call them s6/7/8) fd for around 30K (can only bring in fd made after sept 99) also evo8's are similar in price i miss my fd nothing better looking for the price on the road!

make sure you get a RS not a RB

i have found a few low K 20-40K km's version 8 (2000-02) models for around 20-24K in japan add the norm of 5-7K of bullshit to get it on the road here!

ah good one James

alot of importers are getting rid of R32 GTR's for 16-18k

personally i like the looks of a Z350 Track or Rx8 mmmm SXC

[andz]

yah rx8 looks nice Steve

but he's coming from the GTR, rx8 will feel slowwwww

22k is really good, well done

[Madaz]

yeah but there light too and find a low km one out of warranty and start modding

[sinistaGTR]

hell yeh FD ftw they are sex on wheels but my only fear is the rotor part so much maintenance....and every rotary owner i know has there car off the rd more times than on.

[Madaz]

some nice z350's and a couple of skylines here

yeah shame the 350Z and RX8 are so terribly slow. I looked at buying both of these brand new, but they are so slow it is sad, and even mild mods which will increase power by a small margin are ridiculously expensive.

So are you going to get Pomfus to join the forums James? I thought I'd see you guys at dinner tonight?

Go the R34GTT or if you can afford it a V35 with twin turbos .... the latter is what I have been thinking about getting

[shy_s6]

any low K FD will be reliable! if not get a 60-70K km fd for cheaper n rebuild the engine, a friend is running a ric shaw built engine and hks to4z animal of a car n set up for track work!

altho evo 8's are awsome cars!

hehe so many choices and waaaaaaaaay off having enough money

[slimjim]

Seems an FD is a popular choice! I've never even really seen one up close let alone driven one, I wonder how they would compare to the R. Evo's have the worst interiors I think... Am yet to drive an RX8, sad to hear they are slow!

Petes already registered, don't think he posts that often. I forgot all about the dinner last night.

R34 GTT is a definite option, I didn't know V35s come with twin turbos? That sounds awesome!

[Sambo33]

for me i would love an FD or S15! an evo would be an awesome car too! but yeah, nice selection of cars you have to choose from there. good luck!

[heslo]

The V35 didn't come turbo charged, it's an aftermarket option. I beleive the kit is somewhere within the 10k range
