1 Rotary in any family is enough...

I like the idea of the GTiR.

What about a Sr20DET powered Silvia/180SX ???

*Gasp* - AndyMac whats wrong with you!? YOU CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH ROTARY.... ROTARY ROTARY ROTARY!!! ... Did someone say ROTARY?.... ROTARY!

My vote goes with SR20 S13 or an RB25 R32 - Or even a completely stock S1.5 R33. They're newer than the R32's obviously and you can get a decent-ish example for that money. They are ok on fuel. The only thing it lacks over the R32 is the slight difference in weight and the good looks, but you gain a more reliable daily...

Whichever option you choose it'll be a downgrade from the 20B >_< Are you sure you wanna do it?

Take the 12k and spend it on fuel - problem solved and you wont be driving a f*cking haridresser car as a result.

Will you please just RACE THE COSMO'S ARSE OFF!??!?! PRETTY PLEASE?!?!?!? NOW WOULD BE GOOD!!!

/yell

>_<

Ha ha - Adrian , Adrian....

I will , I am , I will !

I have realised now, that I really, really need to upgrade my transmission (It's only after driving this thing around on the power I have now that I see the light).

SO - In 2 and a bit weeks, I will have myself a fully built stage II MV Autos tranny with 3800 RPM stall. Same box has proven it's worth in SA where it ran 10.8 on a similarly spec'd Cosmo 20B.

So - YES - all in good time, my friend - It WILL happen. And when it does, I want to make it a good one :D:)

(Now I am going t be disappointed if I run a shit time) ha ha ha ha ha

GTI-R is a good choice. plus they look like a normal-ish hatch so you wont cop hassle from tha man.

I reckon you only have these choices:

GTI-R

SR20 S13

MX5

Any of them will be a good choice. GTI-R can be bought so cheaply now, and if you do decide to go nuts you could build a 10 second GTI-R pretty cheaply (compared to cosmo, or GTR etc). Plus they are fairly nice just to drive arond in.

MX5 will be much better on fuel, but looks a bit camp, and it's quite small inside so you may not be comfy in it. but it would be great fun on track and ok for just driving around.

SR20 S13 is a pretty chat car. they have horrible interior, most in your budget will be fairly shagged too, but they have SR20 turbo up front, 5spd in the middle and driving the rear wheels which is a recipe for fun. some downsides are crap brakes, 4 stud hubs and again, that nasty interior will make driving it every day pretty annoying, but it will probably be the best on track of the 3.

lol! I thought you wanted a reliable daily. Why stop at the rx7 above... Why not do this then?

Its not my money so here are my suggestions!

Early 90s Supra

Early 90s Liberty RS (Nice 2.2L Boxer Noise :), ugly as sin :rofl:)

Mid 90s Impreza WRX

Mid 90s 200SX (Might be a little high on the price side, as well as not being much to look at ;))

Late 80s RX-7

Of this list I'd go the Supra or Liberty. What I'd actually do is save up a little more cash and get something better :(

By the way, to get this list I used Red Book. It gives national averages for pretty much any car out there. Quite handy if you don't know what you want :domokun:

EDIT

If 88silhouette's Skyline Wagon is anything like my old one, it will chirp second. But it had nothing to do with power, it was a death trap driven by a complete idiot. But those old RB30s will out last cockroaches in my opinion.

Also...

Defect for blue lights on the front of the car? :)

*checks engine bay*

hmmm.. mine must have lost 200cc's

B-Man - 1JZ no shit!!

http://forums.performanceforums.com/forums....php?t=67211694

it is honestly a bargain.

and he's already got recaro's in it so it's lighter than the electric seat crap

but seriously..

It is a farking good choice over the other shit mentioned here..

Last post by owner:

Ok people, I'm open to serious offers for this car so whats it going to take for me to get a sale??

I can check it out for you if you want.

I can also drive it to Sydney for ya if you want.

You pay for my flight back and food bill (which will probably be about the same as the flight cost)

Pity it's in Qld - Don't you have to get a bluey for interstate rego - with the 1J conversion, that might be difficult - It's nice though :)

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      I read this and thought "ah! I will do this scissor jack on the tow point thing!" I just use my floor/low profile/costco jack and lift the car up by the tow hook itself, then slide jack stands under. Never thought about using scissor into floor jack combo :p

      R32 GTST - 600KW+ RB28/CD009 Build

      Well, my new WMI system took much longer to finalize. I actually missed my dyno appointment last Friday and lost my 150$ deposit. I'll be going back in the next week or two.  To sum it up. I only kept the AEM tank from my old setup. I replaced the AEM pump with a higher flow/pressure ProMeth 30GPH pump. I also swapped over to a 6AN low pressure feed line to the pump from the tank. There's also a pressure switch you cannot see on the pump high pressure line.    This is feeding 6x 200CC direct port nozzles and 1x 500CC Pre Throttle body nozzle. All fittings are Swagelok, because well why not. I also have a 300PSI pressure sensor up front.    I now have my Haltech ECU controlling everything. I start my pump with a basic relay at 5PSI and deadhead it. I then PWM a 3000CC methanol Injector to control flow starting around 10psi. The pressure switch in the trunk, along with my tank level are safeties before I ever get to 10PSI, and then I use my pressure sensor upfront as a secondary safety to cut the WMI and corrections in case the injector blocks or a line ruptures.  Wish me luck on the dyno!

      So, I'm back with bad news. There's no jack long enough on this planet that will reach the front subframe. If by some chance there is, it would weigh 200lb's.  I purchased a long reach jack... The damn thing weighted 120lb's and was massive. Didn't even come close, was still short at least a foot. It was a pain, but I brought it back. Next I decided HA! No problem, I'll get an Extra long reach jack. Well, I couldn't lift the box... It must have weighed 160LB's and luckily there was an open box in store. I took measurement and was still nowhere close.  Sadly I've lost hope and have accepted defeat.

      J50 clock date suddenly reset to January 1

      By suko · Posted

      Thanks for that tip, niZmO_Man. I think the battery is OK. It's quite a new one, but I'll check. Last time I needed a new battery, everything electronic was fine, except that there wasn't enough current to turn over the starter. I decided to order one of the partial AV system translation CDs from Car Audio Workshop in NZ. That might have some effect, or help me diagnose the date problem. 🤞

      I suppose it was relatively stock too, the JZ motor handle most mods thrown at them without even breaking a sweat
