Its been quite fun and loyal these last few years, but I may be looking to move on to something a bit more newer - still under the $20k mark.

I am looking at getting a 2002 (or above) Liberty (RX) - Whats ur opinions on libertys, in terms of reliability, handling, holding its value and general comments on the car?

owww sad that u maybe leaving the nissan family... libertys hold their value well. they arent gutless and hold the road well..... all in all they are a very well rounded car... try get a manual tho that way it will keep its fun factor and u wont get bored with it. also the interriors are well styled...... maybe also look at mitsubishi 1998 galant or legnum.... and maybe r34 gtt?? still keep ur power and styline

good luck

If your selling you obviously haven't modded it.

I personally wouldn't consider selling mine unless it were growing huge rust holes. Simply because I have a daily and its the 'fun/thrash' r32 rb30det car is cheap that is as reliable as all buggery. I've owned modified commodores etc and they do not like the higher levels of power; they break. :rofl:

One reason I wouldn't consider selling it is because its pretty much one of the lightest R32's made so it always spanks the r33's and r34's making similar power.

The heavier the car the more power is required the more expensive the clutch the more lag is required etc.. :D

    • Haha thanks everyone, I'll take everyone's suggestions into consideration. If I do eventually choose a car ill post it here update on the mods I do.
    • I found the ingredients at larger amounts from a Coffee Shop. 1kg Citric Acid for €8.50 500g Baking Soda for €2.50 I tried it out tonight distilled water (I got from my ACs) and dish soap. It does get bubbly with dish soap. In just two hours the hanger has improved significantly and rubbing against any remaining rust seems to flake it off. I'm going to leave it a little bit longer and see how it goes. I have read that someone even used this solution in an ultrasonic cleaner to clean a seized water pump which brought it back to life.
    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild.
