Hey all, new member here! I thought I'd introduce myself and my new car which i bought just last week.

She's a R31 Executive 4spd auto, Burgandy with 132,000 km, I picked her up for $3200, getting my RWC done this week.

Runs beautifully, panels are dead straight, i can't see any flaws with this car, one ding in the quarter panel but there's nothing that can't be pushed back out.

nothing in the inteerior os cracked, broken, worn, it all looks close to new! i'm so lucky I found this in such good condition :laugh:

Your going to spend upwards of $5k on rims and tyres on a car worth $3k?

I said something like that style, i know those rims cost a fortune... I am just picky when it comes to style :)

cut the guy some slack :) it's probably his first car or something and excited to have it!

My first car was something very similar and although it gave me freedom I was well aware of what I was driving.

Im sure it is a clean car and will most likely be reliable etc but talkin about stylin, $4k rims etc... bit much

Mate completely agreed 100%! and i'm sure that he will realise, personally if i was that keen on rims i would shop around and for 500-800 you can get some second hand ones with decent meat, otherwise the rims are worth more than the car.

and if you gonna spend 4k on rims u can just my a N/A r32 maybe even an r33.

Anyways welcome to the club buddy and don't spend all your cash on the rims :) Take the advise

    • If you like more modern stuff than the R series, you should check out a V37 400R, they are pretty mod friendly
    • Haha luckily we don't have emissions, inspections, or any laws against power adders here. They only thing they somewhat keep an eye out for are ridiculously loud exhausts. 
    • Just wanted to pop in an update on my setup. The CD swap has been great, I love the mazworks housing for the overall simplicity. I ended up sealing my trans tunnel with a thin sheet of aluminum reused some of the holes on the trans tunnel, and laid some window sealing EPS foam around the edges. Works great, really quieted things down and sealed up the car.  As for the power comment. Right now I am also running about 650whp. with the way the bell housing is attached to the face of the transmission I have zero doubts it would be fine, mainly because the input shaft and main shaft bearings are seated into the bell housing adapter. This means the load is NOT on the bolts to maintain the power, rather into he casing of the bell housing; Yes the bolts are doing some work there, but with both shafts locked in zero worries.  End of the day, the Mazworks solution is the easiest and safest. no need to take your trans to a shop to get milled perfectly, it fits with minimal clearancing, and you can use all your existing clutch and flywheel.  Driving wise the CD has been great compared to the big box, I'll probably swap my final drive at some point. The serial 9 shifter is gooooood, my only qualm is how tight it is, it takes a fair bit to get use to, 5th and 6th are a bit eh/hard to find at times, but maybe I need re-adjusting, and I think my clutch master is very tired and needs a rebuild. 
    • If you are keen, have a look at my build thread. Car is for sale for the right money or straight swap for a F80 M3 LCI.
    • Welcome mate.  No point in over thinking it, buying any one of those cars you mentioned is not a smart or logical choice with the availability of many "better" (re price to performance) cars available to you.  The heart wants what the heart wants, buy whatever it leads you too.
