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

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
