in your professional opinions, wat would be an ideal first car for up to 15 grand?? i would really love an r33, but i know you would be really pushing it for a good condition turbo r33 for 15. (im not interested in a sedan) if u know of any r33 gts-t's for under 15 please let me know. anyways, ive been looking at s13's, s14's, 180's, r32's and supras. my preference would be either a 180 or an r32, as u can get good examples of them for under 15. anyway, wat do u guys reckon?? or any other suggestions?? thanks

I rekon you should get a nice R32 GTS-t or 180SX, or you could get a naturally aspirated R33 found around $14,000 ~ $15,000, plus with natural aspiration insurance will be alot cheaper and so will fuel bills etc, but GTS' have 4 stud wheels and not 5 stud. :P

thanks for the opinions guys!! yeh that bluebird looked good, until i seen its an auto:( in my personal opinion i reckon the skyline sedans are pretty ugly, just my preference. a sileighty would be good, even better would be a onevia, wat kind of prices do onevias fetch? anyway, it will most likely come down to either a 180 or a r32. wat u guys reckon? or any other suggestions?

R32 GTS4-t? Not hugely powerful, dulled a little by 4WD over GTS-t, but a nice stable platform with (der) 4WD (and its the good stuff from the GT-R, not a cheap version). Easy to drop a new engine into it when you want more powah.

I'd stay away from the Silvia's personally: lot of power in a light car = too many ploughed into things.

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
