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

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
