hello

i need some options/ideas on what to look for when buying a car probably end of this year

i was thinking a vy maloo r8 which i could also kinda use for work, but i dont think i'd wanna dirty it :(

budget would probably be ~25-30K

before anyone mentions it, im not after another skyline/gtr etc

im not really sure what else is there other than the usuals

still prefer somethin jap with decent power + luxury etc

8 g, get a skyline, spend 5 g, u can rip that malpoo R8 and you have money for an investment house left over. Enjoy :huh:

But if you really wanna spend your money, got for a Honda s2000, Hondas don't brake down but dont expect power to be anything like nissan.

Maybe 350 z?

If it's for work, forget about the Maloo. a mate of mine (a builder) had one for about 4 months, couldn't wait to get rid of it. Bottomed out on every site he went to, not enough tray space for all his tools, and all that power + no TCS/ESC scared him when it rained.

What you want it for? Daily, Weekend, Work, all?

What kind of work do you do?

You want a new car for a change?

Whats wrong with your R34 GTT?

So cars for thought...

Nissan 350Z / 370Z / V35

Toyota Supra / Chaser / Aristo

Mazda RX7 FD

^^ tuff!

but i dont want anything that big, biggest i'd go is a maloo but so far i think it would be pointless for me since theres no rear seats and cant really be used for work :( but fark they are porn!

my first thought when i see a chaser is CAMRY lol but so far its top on the list...along with the 04 wrx. not a big fan of the rest of the cars mentioned

^^^ u forgot to mention its gotta be auto >_<

nah no more auto :P

(OO)SKYLINE(OO) im just after an all rounder. i'll stick with the van for work

    • I might be way off the mark here.. there must be a T junction under the manifold. That takes manifold pressure through a check valve prior to the T, one side splits out to this bleed off orifice, the other straight to the wastegate actuators. 
    • Carrying out some engine due diligence before my first drive in a 260RS that has been in storage for 10+ years, and found two lines that are susposed to be plumbed into the boost control solenoid. One of the lines (the wastegate boost supply line) to actuate the gates, had a bolt in one end blocking it. The other line (main boost signal line) from the very rear of the intake manifold (RB26DETT) and runs up to the boost controller had this pill in the end of it as seen in photos. Other than the obvious (T28 Ceramic turbos might well be cooked)  Can anyone shed any light on if there is any validity at all with this mod, bleeding a constant fixed rate of manifold boost pressure off through this 3mm hole?  Is it deliberate?  Was this a 90s Jap mod done to RB26's? Or has someone just fitted this without any idea of what happens to ceramic T28s if they are not gate controlled?    
    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
