hey everyone

im in year 12 and i sat down to talk to my dad about what im going to do with my life

and i decided that i am going to join the army.... blah blah blah

anyway me and dad figured it out that i could get a car that had a max cost of around 20,000 dollars

ill have it on my p's

i will drive it from sydney to QLD about 5 times a year so has to be a bit comfy

but i want it to have some balls

cheers guys

ben

u want something that will do long drives, comfortably....falcons and commodores are ideal for that. skylines etc will be revving at 3000+RPM the whole way, where as the falcons and commodores will be under 2000RPM at 100km and a bit over....

they're also not performance cars, but have decent power for base model family cars....and will be cheaper to maintain and fix if anything goes wrong

Or.....you could buy a Stagea! :blink:

But seriously.....We used to have a Supercharged Statesman.....I would definatly recommend one of those to you. Very reliable and also cheap to run, had a fair bit of up and go in it......But very very comfy, and very pimlishous :P

my cousin has a VX..not sure of the exact model, it might be lumina, but its a supercharged V6...and its definitely got some kick....

have you driven a base model BA or VX, VZ etc.....they got a fair bit of kick for base model family cars

Wow! Thats a manual! :blink: Kinda makes me wanna buy it.....but yeah, Stageas have a ton of room and heaps of potential (mechanical wise) They handle very well....and there is plenty of spare parts. RB25DET, so no probs with engine parts :P

    • Hi...a bit a "development" on the brakes. I spoke to the guys where i get brakes from...and they are saying that 296mm EBC are for R34 GT-T. I then went to their site: https://www.ebcbrakes.com/vehicle/uk-row/NISSAN/Skyline (R34)/ and search for my car(R34 GT 1998 - it has GTT brakes) and it show me this USR1229 number and they are rly 296mm rotors... So now iam rly confused... The rotors i have now on the car are 310mm asi shown... So where is the problem? Does the whole EBC got it wrong or my calipers are just...idk know what?  
    • Oh What the hell, I used to get a "are you sure you want to reply, this thread is XX months old" message. Maybe a software update remove that. My bad.
    • This is a recipe for disaster* Note: Disaster is relative. The thing that often gets lost in threads like this is what is considered acceptable poke and compromise between what one person considers 'good' looks and what someone else does. The quoted specs would sit absurdly outside the guards with the spacers mentioned and need  REALLY thin tyres and a LOT of camber AND rolling the guards to fit. Some people love this. Some people consider this a ruined car. One thing is for certain though, rolling the guards is pretty much mandatory for any 'good' fitment (of either variety). It is often the difference between any fitment remotely close to the guards. "Not to mention the rears were like a mm from hitting the coilovers." I have a question though - This spec is VERY close to what I was planning to buy relative to the inboard suspension - I have an offset measuring tool on the way to confirm it. When you say "like a mm" do you mean literally 1mm? Or 2mm? Cause that's enough clearance for me in the rear :p I actually found the more limiting factor ISNT the coilover but the actual suspension arms. Did you take a look at how close those were?
