I don't mean like a Ferrari or something....I mean same sort of budget.

It would be too easy to say a Silvia so that is why I say 'if you weren't allowed a Nissan'.

I'd be tempted to say an Evo VI or something but I've gone off them lately...they are a bit too 'try hard'.

Rexs are just a no-no.

S2000's have a great engine but are ghey in the final analysis (IMHO).

Falcon-doors are too common and boat like despite awesome power potentially.

Could never get a FWD hatch like a civic... :blink: . Hatches are for old people going shopping.

I like Supras.

MR2's are a bit ghey...lack road presence.

If I was gonna get a euro car it would be a Merc or Beamer, but the line between hairdressery euro car and 'cool' euro car is dangerously narrow, plus they COST.

So yeah I'd probably get a Supra.

LX SLR5000 (replica as a genuine would be waaay $_$), 400ci with a 6/71 blower hanging out of the bonnet and a manualised powerglide.. SKID MACHINE.

Sorry.. stopped dreaming (read: drooling), If I couldn't have my skyline.. I'd probably slit my wrists.

some of my cars of choice within budget would be RX7 RZ, BMW M3 or M5 (E36/E39), F6, or maybe even a boxster...ah what am I saying, why get a gay looking 986 boxster...

Boxsters' suck ass, I'd go a late 80's 911* over a Boxster anyday (my old lady has one and it's quite fun to drive, little bit faster than a stock 32gtst with some boost).

*This assumes I'm willing to pour the coin required into a 911 that old.. which I'm not :blink:

I guess really, if I had to pick something other than my 32 (and outside the Nissan family), it would have to be a JZX100 Chaser.

    • They are under bucket shims. Tomei provides a test shim kit and then any measurement of shim required. 
    • I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.
    • I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something? 
    • I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation.
