The Jazz has an interesting gearbox. 7 Speed CVT transmission. However the small engine leaves a little more to be desired. Intresting seating arrangements too!

I would go the SP23. I drove just the base model 3 and it's simply amazing how refined small cars are these days. They don't shake and rattle going over bumps. Very solid chassis. Motor had a good pull. I can only imagine the SP23 being better.

my sister was looking at sort of similar cars i had a good look at all of them and the sp23 is the best in my opinion, she has had it now for about 5 months and it has been perfect, also the customer service and service costs are very good.

well none seem like proper sports cars and you seem to want a good car with a good warranty, go a magna might not look the best and i don't know heaps about the fuel economy but 10 years warranty on the engine and driveline, you can't go wrong. otherwise I reckon the Maz 3 looks the best.

My girlfriends Dad owns a Peugot 407 and that thing got 1500km off a 70L tank! which turns out to be about 4.7L/100km some of which is city driving. The car isn't as slow as you might think either. I know it doesn't fit the NEW criterium, But you coud get a next to new one!

Go the sp23, but has to be the sedan, hatch looks shit. My mum owns a sp23 sedan and its a great car, i learnt to drive in it and drove it on my p's for a while. handling is good, and the car still has a little bit of get up and go wen ya put the foot down. the engine is quiet which takes a little getting used to though. The sedan scores in the looks department as well, i reckon more so than any other of your choices. I vote the mazda 3

Personally, i was considering selling my Line for a mazda 3, they look so good, good price.. & practial only reason i don't like the RS is because think of this, its STILL a RS Impreza then a WRX pulls up next to you, then you think to yourself WHY didn't buy one of those? Its got an extra vent + TURBO (you remember how they are? ,you'll have this thing in your head saying, i should of got the WRX) or something different a Mazda 3. btw i don't think the looks of the impreza are too hot... but thats how i feel

well thats my 2cent... everyone has different opinions..

UP YOU MY FRIEND

GOOD LUCK! =)

'04 runout model 4WD Magna. Call me old, but you can't beat that for value. And if you actually drive one you'd prob agree. They "drive" and feel japanese (read: good) and get up and boogie too. Economy is good, and 35K may get a VRX version?

    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
    • Can I suggest you try EBC directly again and link them to as many competitor catalogues as you can to show their listing is incorrect, eg https://dba.com.au/product/front-4000-series-hd-brake-rotor-dba42304/ If you have access to an R33 GTST VIN and your VIN, you could also use a Nissan Parts lookup like Amayama to show them the part number is different between 33 GTST and 34 GTT which may get their attention
    • So i got reply from EBC and they just this site where you can clearly see those 296mm fronts on R34 GTT. I send them photos and "quotes" that 296mm are not for 34 GTT and they are too small. But it will be very hard to return them cuz nobody here knows 100% and they just copy those EBC catalogue :-D https://ebcbrakesdirect.com/automotive/nissan/skyline-r34
