what do you wanna get?

Won't be getting anything for a while yet, but don't have a clue what I'd get...Nothing new really does it for me....

Few things that always cross my mind are 34 GTR, V35, 32/33 GTR...that's about it really...so who knows

Nice drive to Marysville today. 3 of us got pulling into drug bus in Lillydale. RX7, silvia and myself and didnt get defected, infact all the cops admired our cars and let us on our way haha best :thumbsup:

your lucky i got fkn :domokun: on toorak rd by a chick cop on those drug bus stations she was a fkn hooch and a hald kept me there for 15 minutes, wasnt int he skyline thank god..

V35 if you plan on supercharging/turbo charging it otherwise has to be a 34 gtr. personally i wouldn't spend 40K+ on a jap. some euro luxury/build quality would be nice for a change..

There's a few different things to consider before I chose obviously, but if I was spending $40k+, a lot more options start to present themselves

GTR would be mainly about performance, while still looking good

V35 would be more a nice cruiser first and foremost, but I only like them if done right, so it'd need to be low with a fair stance etc, supercharge/turbo would be nice but would probably be a longer term goal

euro, not sure what I'd get if I went down that path, but like I said, if you're spending 40k+, you'll have a bit more to choose from...

you'd want more for your money if you were spending that much i just dont think there are any jap cars old or new that offer a good all round package. 40k i'd go a bmw e46 m3 (if you want a straight 6) or audi b6 s4 (if you want a v8)without thinking twice coz it has everything luxury, performance, looks, quality etc. if you find a jap car for less than 40K with as much spec and goodies then by all means go for it

And the repairs/maintenance bills to go with it :P

that just depends on -

1) how much of a lemon you buy

2) how useless you are with tools

bout 40K for one with about 100Ks. pretty similar to 34 gtrs

id like to own a hsv coupe but they just aint worth the money people are asking for!

local spare parts, no cop hassles, v8 and a coupe!

Although people want like $50k for them!

coz one day they will be collectibles

V35 if you plan on supercharging/turbo charging it otherwise has to be a 34 gtr. personally i wouldn't spend 40K+ on a jap. some euro luxury/build quality would be nice for a change..

you have a serious euro envy problem... just cos it's made in EU doesn't make it better than anything made in japan...

imho the onlymain thing the euro's do better than the japs is charge

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
