i was thinking of a getz myself.

i used to work at hyundai, they are a good car in general.

just keep your eye on your rear wheel cylenders as they tend to leak.

also some were prone to have a knock from the rear brake. they are very tempremental with handbrake adjustment.

Barina is also $14990 drive away these days.

well if you're looking into things as gheyz as getz etc, might as well go the whole handbag.

Its not for me...Im saving up for a current shape corolla ascent :)

Barina is a Holden... I am sceptical as how long it will be till the crap starts falling off. Actually I dont want another Ford or Holden, period.

Brand new ST Tiida is $19990 for Auto

2006 models are as cheap as $14K

Bought my wife an ST-L model brand new with 5 years warranty and on road etc for $22K - Auto

Not too shabby at all... I like the look of this one

The Getz is POS.

We have one as an emergency car, i drive it when i cant afford petrol for my r32 :laugh:

Full of cheap plastic, vibrates on idle, loves to understeer, automatic isnt responsive. It jumps to a lower gear for no reason and makes a lot of noise but still doesnt move anywhere.

Isnt even fuel efficient, manual says like 6lts/100km. Ours averages like 8~

Ours is the first model to come out, so it could be much better in the newer models.

However it does save me petrol money :D

If you buy a manual 1.5L they are good. They did win Australias best small car 2 years in a row. I mean we all know its a little dodgy that awards system, but they have all the kit, engine, ac, abs, airbags etc. Good for a run about. But really its not worth it if your keeping the skyline. $15k is a lot of petrol.

Getz is crap.. Honestly dont buy it .. Its cheap, seats are crap, and it seems to fall apart.

I do have an Accent which is very good, its a 97 and goes hard for a 1.6 litre it spins first and second so pretty ballsy. Olds have a Elantra too $20,000 new which is cheap as chips for a new car with electric everything and onroads + insurance. Its very comfortable.

Id prob go for the accent for a good reliable car. cheap to run, I fly around with it on empty for a good 3 days.. fill up when the light turns on.

I passed my driving test in a Getz (driving instructor's car, since my old VN probably won't pass the safety check.)

As a car to get from point A to B & back to A, it does the job, anything else... don't expect much.

& being a hatch & small its easy to park, about the only things I can think off.

    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
    • Thanks guys - I have been overseas for a hectic many weeks , so haven't had time to chase any of these up.  Some of the suggestions are for 4.1 ratio, which I already have, and a 3.5 at Lonsdale, which is also too tall.  Really looking for 3.9 or even a 3.7 LSD, either with M12 bolts. Will look some more.  
    • Yeah sounds like the swirl pot isn't being fed from the return line, would be made even worse by the high flow pump. 
    • This is the R32 one and the inside of the tank should look like this. which has an internal swirl pot, that the return line must empty into. (Interestingly, because the GTR tank is plastic it misses out on the swirl pot.) That is a potential cause for an aftermarket pump hanger to mess things up. Maybe the return is cut short and squirting over the side.
