if you look hard you should be able to find a decent FTO (150kw so more than enough power, not heaps of aftermarket support, but they're sporty and fun) or for a little more a GT or GTV Skyline...I paid 8k for mine but mines a 4 door, and had heaps of reg left and rwc

Intergra's are also pretty cool.

when I was looking I had a few I was looking for

*FTO

*Skyline

*Integra

*S14 (I found one that was like crazy cheap)

*that new model Celica

*Hyundai Tribune...but i was turned off by the word Hyundai

--------------------------BRENTON's SUGGESTIONS-----------------------------

fto's are great: an engine that revs over 8k easily because of the quad cams, high compression ratio, 2.25"exhaust standard, 24 valve, mivec, agressive tuned ecu, 2l v6 good for 150kw and 200nm of torque(well over the skyline 2.5 NA fpower figures though its a fifth smaller in terms of displacement)............... and thats just the engine, obviously great handling from sporty suspension, short wheelbase, low steering ratio(lock 2 lock), 16"rims standard then u got ur brakes and features/accessories.

other feasible suggestions are

Honda integra (try 4 import spec or type r)

mx6(dont know if all are turbo, think same engine as ford tx5)

toyota celica(newer 1s are pretty good(nearly 150kw)

nissan s13 silvia but getting a bit old

Toyota supra NA(good luck gettin 1 for 6k)

sure i missed a suggestion or 2

You sure about that? The RB25 hits 255NM @ 4000 RPM....well before the 6A12 can put out its 200NM @ 6500 RPM...

THe only thing is the FTO is lighter by around 200KG...

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
