After next week I'll probably be in a Veilside kitted 3S-GTE Celica. Guy has got till Sunday to decide if he 100% wants to go ahead. It's something different to run around in while I save for the 34R in 2010.

Ask yourself some questions which will help you:

- How long do you plan on keeping it. It may be wiser waiting weeks/months/years to save more and buy what you really want. Always look long term.

- How much money will you have spare each month to put towards maintainence, repairs, or upgrades

- Can you afford insurance every year on the car

plenty more questions to look at but those should get you started and then you can narrow down your selection based on that. :)

And for rare, jap car thats pretty underated, Should look into a '00/'01 Galant they have lots of potential. and quick cars stock. Only thing is I don't think they come in manuals.

I bought my GTR with a rebuild in the pocket and some R34 GTR turbos on it, swisshhhhhhhhhhhhhh :)

Maintenance every 6 months.

im sure it cost alot more then 14k then :)

phsssssssssssst!

only way to get unique with 14k is to buy a modded one and stand out

rb26 s13 convertible

unique rare and cheap for whats done to it

only 15k too

I've basically decided on the JZX100. I love those cars. I know I can't get one for $14k, but no harm in saving up. Mike, how much do you want for yours?

Bubba, I want to buy Mike's. I know he looks after his cars.

You can get manual JZX100's.

Tom, JZX100 is the model (and not just Chasers, Chasers are the Tourer V models, you can also get MarkII's and MarkII Grandes), and I don't like JZX90 Chasers so I differentiate by using the model code :P

I would say Galant VR4's, cheap, rare and can be found in manual.

Soarer's are OK, but more of a luxo coupe so maybe not your style.

Levin BZ-R if you want to save money and fuel but still drive something different (but FWD of course), otherwise old AE86 but getting too old to find a clean example.

leaves you with local S14's :P

    • Thank you GTSBoy and MBS206 I have done the compression test with the motor out of the vehicle, reason for the test was to see if I needed to remove the head and do rings etc while its out. I'm in the process of respraying the vehicle and tidying up a few things. Story behind it all is I've just purchased the skyline and it was running when I got it, never drove it on the street though as I wanted to pull it down and do it all up again before registering it. the gentleman I purchased it from told me the motor has a forged bottom end and has a decent tune through it but I was going to pull the sump off anyway to see if it is a forged bottom end. that's why I thought id do a compression test beforehand. 
    • Man, I'm kind of amazed that the price of the turbo has not changed in 7 years. Everything else is inflating beyond reason, but not this? Good on Tao / hypergear I guess? Anyways, good luck with the sale!
    • I'm selling my brand new, in the box, never used Hypergear ATR45 - and I had some additions I paid for a few yrs back when I purchased it. Never ended up having the rest of the money to add all the mods at once, so I just ended up slowly selling each part. I originally had it internally gated, with the dump pipe, however I found it was incompatible with what I was going to use it for, so I contacted (I think Ken) from Hypergear, and he and I messaged back and forth & he got me to ship the turbo back, where they modified it & made it externally gated, and gave me the 5 bolt dump pipe attachment for custom welding. (Photos below) This turbo like I said has never touched the inside of an engine bay, it's completely brand new, never used, been sitting in the same box it arrived in, covered in plastic & all. Below are the photos of it: And while the guys at Hypergear were making it in-shop, they sent me some photos of the process: I'm looking at selling this just because I'm in need of the money right now, and don't have plans on modifying the 34 anytime soon - and from reviews & peformance sheets, this turbo had amazing results back when I was researching. The turbo was purchased in 2018 for $1.9k, with the mods I got added on. Looking at the website now, for the same turbo they sell (ATR45SAT), with the current addons it adds up to $1830 for the turbo Current addons included: - Bolted dump adaptor - Ball bearing CHRA - Braided oil feeding line So I'm looking to possibly sell it for around $1800, with shipping included in that 1.8k, It cost me around $120 to ship - so yeah thought I'd throw it out there and see if anyone was interested in purchasing. Cheers!
