Hey,

wanting to get some more opinions on a new car, considering a R32 GT-R V-Spec, Series 6 RX-7 or a V35 Skyline Coupe. looking to spend around 20K so the V35 coupe and RX-7 will be hard to find that cheap. Will be importing from Japan probs after tax return and dependent on price mabey a few more months of saving. Have considered; RZ Supra, R33 GT-R, R34 GT-T, WRX, Evo, 3000GT, GTO, Silvias, B4 liberty, Soarar and Galants. any more cars to consider or any opinions would be good.

Thanks Luke

youre not going to find a v35, rx7, or gtr vspec that you wouldnt have to pour substantial amounts of money into. keep saving.

agreed, and the vspecs are usually 25k minimum at that. you could get a 32 gtr for $20k but I suspect it'd need lots of work done

It really depends what you are looking to use the car for? GTR would be my choice but the round lights definetly attract the wrong attention, Mazda FD would be very nice (the shape never seems to age). V35 would be the best choice if the car was driven as a daily and you wanted a splash of performance.

car would be a daily, and hopefully a bit of track action in the future, have been able to find a few V35 coupes, RX-7's and R32 GT-R V-Spec's for around 20K, but they are few and far between. not too fussed waiting for a few months and getting the perfect car, will also give me more time to save :down:

If i was to buy a 32gtr, i'd want a mint, factory standard one. That looks the goods, but the price worries me.

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
