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 :(

anyway

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

also would prefer something 1998+ :banana:

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

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
