Various Car Questions.

[KezR33]

Alright, this probably could've gone on the non-Skyline vehicle forum, but I figure some of the answers will be Skylines, and this forum gets more views anyway.

More a curiosity than else, although I do plan on buying a nice turbo charged car a few years down the track, but I'm wondering what are the best value cars in terms of bang for your buck.

Lets say you have $20,000 to buy the car, and spend on modifications (ignore insurance, rego, certificates and such), what's the highest kilowatts you could get ATW? An example of an answer might be (this is my guess anyway); R33 GTS-T, with turbo set up equalling about 250-260rwkw. Others might say 300zx, or a SR20DET, I dunno.

Anyway, on to the questions;

$10,000 - What's quick, cheap and fun.

$20,000 -

$30,000 -

$40,000 -

$50,000 -

$75,000 -

$100,000 -

$250,000 -

No need to answer all of them obviously, I did throw out a lot of values. Oh, one more question. For lets say... $25,000 (a realistic number for me) what car would accelerate from say 20kmph to 60kmph in the shortest time? I ask this because unless I goto the track or break the law, that's about the most fun I can have in my car.

Thanks for any input.

Jeeeeeez. You'd have to be asking about 2nd hand vehicles from your Q.

And I could only answer your Q by looking at (used) cars at current market value running with a 'stock' set-up Kieran.

$10K = Alfetta GTV V6 (just to be different lol)

$20K = R32 GT-R V-Spec

$30K = R33 GT-R V-Spec III

$40K = Evo IX

$50K = R34 GT-R V-Spec

$75K = R34 GT-R V-Spec II Nur

$100K = R34 GT-R V-Spec II N1

$250K = Lamborghini Gallardo

By the way the list of cars you made up is quite decent.

Thanks for the response. I was referring to used cars by the way, trying to keep it realistic and within people's budgets.

See it was my understanding that from about 30K to 50K Supra's would dominate, simply because of the strength of the engine. It really all came down to how much you wanted to spend on the turbo upgrade. Am I wrong in assuming that you can get up to 400-450rwkw from stock internals on a 2jz... TT Supra engine (I don't remember the exact name). I mean, at 50K an R34 GTR would be a damn nice car, but a Supra with a T88 all the upgrades to go along with it (injectors, ECU, etc) and any excess spent on suspension and brakes would straight up flatten the GTR.

I thought 100-250K would be done up GTRs, with maybe an R32 at 100K and a R34 at 250K, with 2.8 litre engine, strengthened internals, bigger turbos, everything, or just an R35.

Like I said, I was curious. Most of what I learn I get from browsing these forums and magazines (I catch the train a lot and have a bad habit for picking them up). I was wondering what sort of builds people would recommend, whether turbo charged Honda's would turn up (NSX, S2000), RX-7's, old RX's with 20B's in them, 26/30RBs, maybe even monster V8's.
