ideal first car??

[seraphyn_r33]

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.

whats wrong with the sedans??

Ive found that they are cheaper than the Coupes, plus they have a unique shape to them.

Sedan + Coupe Tail Lights would look origonal.

[JezR31]

the coupe tail lights dont fit though

What about an SR20DET attesa Bluebird?

[OKBANANA]

If only it was as easy as the R32 rear lights, you can buy covers for them so it works excatly the same as a R32 Coupe's rear lights.

but sedans look fugly...

lol sock i think we should stop whring in this guys thread.

anyway i found one of those bluebirds.

U13

Attesa 4WD

SR20DET

Lowered Suspension,

Boost Controller

18 Inch Chrome Wheels

Blow Off Valve

Stereo

$13,990 you could spend $1000 on an exhaust system or something.

U13 bluebird

Its an Auto though

I think you could find a nice sileighty for that.

How about a Mazda Familia??

[Viscount]

with natural aspiration insurance will be alot cheaper

Incorrect - Just Cars and alot of other insurance companies don't differentiate between turbos and N/As

[LBR33]

Nothing like a r23 gts-t, good platform for future mods too

[T0nyGTSt]

That r33 sedan in the sig looks damn pimpin'

Too bad they don't look that good in real life.

[seraphyn_r33]

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?

[Guilty]

how about a toyota echo? or a holden barina?

lol

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'm trying to get a silvia for about 6500 to 7000 anyone now of anyone selling

only thing i can buy with the money i have Auto is fine and non turbo just want a first car
