Not on the list - but how about a Lexus IS200 or ES300.

IS200 - Good on fuel, cramp rear seats, great boot space, awesome handling, great ride, pretty slow if you don't rev it hard. Better in manual form if you want to extract the most power out of it, but the auto is pretty sweet for the daily grind.

ES300 - lots of space, decent power, has some "class" and many common parts with a Camry - good value IMO. Personally I'm not a fan of FWD cars - but you get lots of car for your money.

Nissan Maxima is also pretty good too, but styling is a little quirky - but is somewhat more elegant than a Camry.

my sister drives a yaris, quite like the yaris to, cheap car to buy, very cheap car to run, has a bit of get up and go when you need it.

but i would say for a small family, it would be best to get the sedan instead of the hatch which my sister has (please note, my sister has 3 kids and can fit them in this small car no problems)

i also would go the yaris as i used to drive one many moons ago delivering pizzas.

the other option would be the i30, just like the yaris in many ways, just lower to the ground.

but hey that's my opinion if you want a good cheap reliable car that wont set you broke and can easily take what you need it for, but hey, i'm used to small cars as all my cars till now have been pulsars

Mazda 6 handles better but Accord Euro has a nicer gearbox and better engine.

If you can cop the sadness of owning an Aurion then these are the best value car 4 years old. You get one from the auction houses for the price of a night at the movies and it'll even have leather.

      I don't know if you can disassemble the thing and put it backwards for different ramp rates. They're both "2 ways" or both "1.5 ways" because well, 2 ways and 1.5 ways are the same 'thing' I do not know for sure, but I believe the 38420-RSS15-B5 is the 1 way, and 38420-RSS20-B5 is the two way. In other words, I predict Nissan considers this: to be a 1.5 way. No idea what actually happens when it arrives/you disassemble it. It would be an excellent question to ask Nismo directly! I somehow doubt you will get an answer though, I feel you would be the first person to document what you encounter when you open the box and the internet would be grateful.

      Well - they have arrived.  And they are easy on the eye to put it mildly... These only have three bolts - but for a start there is a key that fits with vacuum like precision..  And as you can see by my ruler, the interface is large..   I listened to a podcast on HP Academy about Dan (KiwiCNC) and I'm more than comfortable he knows what he is doing. R35 Bearing assembly should arrive later today so can mock that up for a look. Can't wait to get these on and get some brake pressure logging too. IMG_3860.MP4

      I would be very confident that they are the same parts (the 2 different SKUs). It seems very clear that you can drop the cam in the 2-way opening, or in the other opening. If you arrange it in the other opening in the same way that you see any other 1-way diff, ie, with the flat of the cam up against the 1° side of the opening, then it would work as a 1-way. It can only spread the ramps when driving forwards - cannot spread the ramps on overrun. It would then appear obvious that if you put the cam into the opening "backwards", that you would get the angled flats of the cam working onto the "points" of the 1° side of the opening, which would give you ramp spread in both loading directions. I do wonder if the forward direction of the 1.5-way config is equivalent to the forward direction of the 2-way, seeing as the cams are flipped and the angled surfaces on those would need to be the same on each side - AND - clearly when installed in either the 2-way or 1-1ay configuration they are not intended to work exactly the same (the ramp angles on the 2-way are 10° different between forward and backward, and the ramp doesn't exist in the 1-way config). 'twere me, I think I would rather actually have a set of rings that offered the 2-way with two different sets of ramp angles, say the 55/45 of the existing design and maybe a 45/37.5 combo for a less aggressive effect), AND another set of rings with a dedicated 1.5-way opening and a dedicated 1-way opening. The 1.5-way opening would actually have the steeper angle on the overdrive side that causes it to be less pushy than the forward drive angle, like you see in many other diffs. But really - if this Nismo thing is thought out properly and all those surfaces work on each other the way that they need to, who am I to argue?
