I want to do a car for good looks, nice rockin sound and cruising !!

my cars have always been for cruising, not hooning!!!

not sure of what years to go for and i know nothing about cars, just love driving them, would want something

thats easy to look after if you know what i mean, and to hopefully learn from others..

Welcome to SAU Jason. :) Become a member & join some cruises & talk to the guys :P

What budget have you got? Are you on Ps? What cars excite you so far?

Advanced Drivers' Courses are good to consider.

Take a mechanic with you to inspect any 'good potential buys' and ask him/her to talk to you about what's being looked at.

From Nowra, it'd great to take a test drive to Kangaroo Valley by going up > down Cambewarra Mtn... or Kangaroo Valley Rd from Berry.

Im almost 40, but just love cars in general..

I like the R33's, but dont know much about them? particularity age worries,

and want an auto

probably around the $12000ish price , and my other concern is big milage, and how well

the car has been looked after, I like to cruise, not hoon or stir up trouble, I like to put on my 70' & 80's music and just drive

Edited by miloman

i think that u would be more suited to a bmw or something dude.

i sold my my 05 320ci last year and it did all of the thing that u want (except the old music lol)

and they r an awesome cruiser.

or a lexus ls400 nice lazy v8 and u feel like ur driving a leather sofa with wheels lol

there is no point having sports cars if u dont drive it like one

just my 2c

$12K?

Auto?

Cruise?

Yes I'd agree with JULZ ^^^

What about an E36 328i BM with full history and low Kms? Just have the DME fault codes brought up and make sure there are no leaks/seepage. Stay away from the 320i of that era. I'm 60 and had a E46 328Ci before the R34 = a great cruiser. Good cornering, comfortable & uses less fuel than the Mercs.

    • 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
