I'll break it down (R34 non turbo)

Fast = no (on par with current 4 cylinder camry)

Handling = good

Braking = good

Interior space = average, roughly the size of a late 90s subabru liberty, but the skyline's (sedans) boot is huge.

Value for money = bad, the car is from the late 90s and prices are still high.

Style = each to their own - but I personally still find them very attractive in this day and age.

Fuel consumption = Average 11 to 12L/100km mixed

Insurance = Bad, expensive for such an old car with not that much performance

Aftermarket Parts = Good, lots of parts available

Wear/tear parts and Servicing = Average, nothing special it's a "normal car", parts can be bought from Nissan dealerships for a reasonable price, sometimes cheaper than elsewhere.

D*ckhead attention = bad, every man and his dog wants to race you..... you will lose

Cop attention = Debatable, keep it reasonably stock looking, non-riced and no cannon exhaust, it's OK.

Buy an NA Supra with an LSD, don't spend a cent on it, enjoy it for what it is and sell it once you're off your P's.

People will go on about how you should just save all your $$ till your off your Ps, but if you need a car when you're on your Ps may as well get something decent, thats done the worst of its depreciating already and is reliable.

The key is to NOT modify your NA car, and just enjoy it as a nice A to B daily.

if you want a fun car for on your P's that wont depreciate like shit, old corollas are where its at.

i had an ae71 with a 4age, went like stink and handled great. sold it for a couple hundred less than what i paid for it and by then it had no reverse

performance wise they would both beat the liberty (i've owned both, and my sister in law had a 3rd gen) as well as a natro skyline. i would actually keep the liberty over a natro skyline. might not have as much power on a dyno, but in real world performance it would be as fast, if not faster.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
