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...

    • Sorry to hear your HFM BM57 was faulty,  did you contact HFM I would hope they would be at least grateful for the information if there was some sort of manufacturing fault, you would hope they would be sympathetic even if your item was 2 years old if it had never been fitted. May I ask where it leaked from ?
    • Cats are called Bella, and Donna...  Like that poisonous plant And I remember your 2 monsters, I remember making a little bit of wee when you let them out... LOL I have already installed cat doors into the laundry where their kitty litter is, and the sun room, apart from the cat doors there's not going to be any permanent mounted stuff on the interior walls (interior doors are cheap and easy to replace) I will get a outdoor cat cage thingie once I finish the landscaping out back... https://catnip.com.au/ The only off limit areas are the main bedroom and the gym room....but, currently the cats are curled up in bed, in the main bedroom with the Mrs.....LOL, the off limits for the kittens to the main bedroom lasted about 5 minutes with Jackie I currently only have 1 free standing huge cat tree multiple level scratching post thingie in the lounge room, but, I will be getting another one soon now that I'm happy with the furniture layout in the back room and have a perfect spot for it  
    • All of this is making it seem clear that running the Coppermix twin was definitely the way to go, especially in hindsight with how insane tariffs have gotten and the strength of the USD vs yen at the time.
    • That sounds like no chance of even importing one for road registering then Now I see why Duncan wants to check LHD rules for Targa...   I wonder how "bolt in" the AWD would be if you got one imported from the US and swapped it to an AUD one
    • Not to mention they drive like a bucket of bolts! yuck!
