I am not game to even think about raising the idea of buying another car with my wife because I already have 9 cars in my driveway and garages.

These include R33 GTR, two R33 GTS-T's, R32 GTS25, Mazda SP20, Mazda 626, Toyoto Duel Cab Hilux 4X4, Suzuki 4X4 and a vintage Peugoet.

I think that I have just about got all of the bases covered and apart from owning shares in the RTA and Insurance companies my challenge is to hang on to what I have and to find the time to enjoy each of them.

there is a 06 V8 vantage i took on a test drive today at Italia Motori, doesn't have the punch i was expecting from it, then took the damelian r35 and a 360 f1 for a spin, r35 and modena are much better cars for similar price.... now deciding on the r35 vs modena, R35 is a much better car in almost every aspect except a black fresh modena looks better in my opinion, it'll keep its value much much better, the sound is pure sex (not that the r35 sounds bad, but ferrari sounds sweeter) also its only going to be a weekend car so to keep an r35 restricted with limmited usage would be a waste, so i'm leaning towards a nice black modena with tan interior...

oh also took a lotus for a spin, that is by far the BEST car ever invented, but not what i'm looking for

Tom,

I hate you. I just wanted to make this known to you.

That is all.

Thread is called "My next car" i'm just adding what my next car options are, theres more to life than cars.... actually no there isn't, cars are supreme....

Either way I'll seriously be thinking of bringing something special to July texi, i have a feeling my skyline's turbo will shit itself at this texi with the summer temps and the fact its been running 10-12 psi for the last year and a half as a daily, so if i'm going home on the back of a trailer you can have your revenge then lol

OMG Tom what do you do for a living? I need to change occupations i think!! :D

PS I concur with the lotus comment.

hopefully im gonna get R34 GTR v-spec 1 or 2 (my dream car) but if im rich (lol) probably get R34 GTR Z-TUNE but other than that i probably get a WRX STI coz its AWD. RWD is not my style..its good for drifting though lol

I was thinking 4.7 litre Vantage not the 4.3, or the V12, and I was also thinking 355, more classic ferrari not "Aero" ferrari

    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • 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
