European here looking for a car

my sister got an almost brand new Corsa sponsored (5 months old), for the money I want something cool that doesn't depreciate in price anymore.

japanese classics has you covered though, you can pick up a R32 GTS-T for 12-14k

You say this like it's a bad this. Stock ride height actually makes GTRs look more lithe and sharp imo.

Nah you gotta stance them and make them useless yuleh

I didnt mean stance it i just think it looks a little off, like it needs to have some aero or something or bigger rubber wheel wall profile

It makes them more attractive. Especially when you accelerate.

muh squat? my irs v body does this too

these are not stock rims

>-Nissan 200SX Turbo (S13)
Naw dude
>-Nissan Skyline R32 GTS-T
Just naw
>-Nissan Skyline R33 GTS-T (will probably
propel me into a tree lol)
Fine if you accept them as a relatively shitty skidmobile, all have been thrashed so find one that's been fixed
>-Nissan Skyline R34 25GT
It's like an R33 but more expensive
>-Nissan Stagea
No skidz, AWD skidline without being as thrashed
>-Toyota JZX100 (depends if one is for sale, won't import)
Either thrashed or $20k
>-Toyota Soarer
Pretty gud, make sure you keep enough money to put a new ECU in immediately as the factory ones are all fucked
>-BMW E38 730/735/740i
Are you a fully certified electrician with at least 5 years of on the job experience? If no, then fuck no
>-Opel Calibra Turbo 4x4
Ain't know shit about these
>-VW Corrado G60
VW, which means it's just as unreliable as a 300k mile R33 skidline with 20" chrome wheels on the front and space savers on the rear, only not fun at the same time

is stock skyline exhaust under the rear frame/diff?

my v body also has this its fucking ANNOYING

>scrape
>SCRAPEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

That's fair enough. If you're honestly that worried about handling the HP then get an auto. I've driven an auto R33 GTST and my own manual one and the auto gearbox is actually really nice, I genuinely almost bought it over the one I got in the end. The GTST auto trans is 4-speed and has an overdrive switch on the stick.

I really was amazed at how relaxed and docile the car was in overdrive mode. It sticks in higher gears and tach sits at around 1000rpm, with boost kicking in at 2.5k. This means you can drive it around fairly economically and it behaves really politely. When you turn OD off the tach sits at about 2.5k while moving without input, so it always has boost going and it becomes really nippy and responsive. Fuckin' '90s Nissan knew how to make an actually good sporty automatic, I was shocked. Ended up with manual though coz I'm a bit of a hoon. I honestly don't think you'll have trouble with it though if you get an auto, which will probably be cheaper too.

I'd have a look into some Subarus as well though. the EJ engines are fuckin' rock solid and good fun. Like I said, maybe look into Liberty models, like a B4 or GT or something. the 2.0l engines are good all-rounders, though they can seem oil eventually from the head

lol nah I actually like stock height cars. My R33 is stock height and as a result it doesn't look fucking pigfat like people always complain about.

>I'm not sure if i can trust myself 250hp lol
350rwhp is fuck all these days.

get good tyres,brakes and suspention and learn how to drive.
i never drove a auto one but 4speeds dull whatever engine is unfortunate enough to be infront of it.
this

OP dont drop it.

Where is the scirocco tsi?

and reasoning behind the "naw" ?
I could pick up a stock JZX100 for 8 grand with 166ks on the clock and an auto, doesn't seem too bad. Gonna get fucked with spare parts though since I have to get JDM parts

in the trash where it belongs

I'm just worried that the R33 maintenance costs will eat my wallet, but maybe I am overreacting

there are no 2.0s here, that's the shit. I ain't driving a 1.6 Subaru :^)

Either quality parts or no mods at all, I am not a cheapskate with that

>reasoning behind the "naw" ?
S13s and R32s come in 2 flavors:
Disgusting heap of shit
or
doesn't seem too bad
Prepare to be surprised.

On that list i'd probably look around at soarers, especially if you want to stick with autos. They're sporty GT cars with an extremely good engine and the ability to use plentiful, cheap parts like MK3 or MK4 supra diffs, LS400 brakes, whatever seats, etc.

Speaking of lexii, are things like Aristos or Cedrics available in euroland?

>sexiest hot hatch in the world
>trash

Wouldn't expect more from a weeb car lover

I wouldn't be so sure of that, the auto I drove was really genuinely impressive. Obviously longer gearing lets is down a bit but because it's a turbo I6 it's got buckets of power all the way across the powerband anyway.

Maintainence costs likely won't be anywhere near as bad as you've heard. Mine is fine, however of course mine is a unicorn of sorts, being completely refurbished head to toe by the last owner then forced to sell by his bitch wife.
Either way you'll be able to account for costs, mostly by over-estimating, and then when service costs aren't as bad as you thought you'll have some dosh left over for personal stuff.

That's a bummer about the lack of 2.0s. My last car was a Liberty with the 2.5l and it was wonderful.

Please stop posting inane shit without any backing. You are talking our your ass so far it's not even funny.

hes another shitposting aussie that doesnt know what his talking about.

T. aussie
nah brah dont get the auto.

200SX use the CA18DET only, they have oil cooling issues and thus burn headgasket cylinder 3/4 and have rod bearing damage because of that. Oilcooler and Turbotimer would be the first thing to install, then you're fine. Rust issues is also a thing on sideskirts, rear arches, rear spoiler/trunk and strut towers.

I am not a stralian, so we import the good cars, not the trash ones you got or the jdm missiles.

there are some Aristos, but they're just GS300. Haven't heard of any Cedrics, there's one unicorn Cedric for sale with 33k kms.

desu didn't knew it was prime time for Stralians

who the fuck added the desu thing, I never typed that

Well shit man, I guess he'll die then. He did say he didn't car about transmission didn't he? Nobody else gonna buy the autos, so he might as well buy something less potent that'll be cheaper up front and won't kill him on the first corner.

He's just looking for his first car baka, not a goddamned street machine.

well its much of a muchness

4speeds run out of gears = shit top speed BUT are more durable than the glass 5 speed gtst manuals

>12k
>first car
Get a cheap beater and then upgrade after a while, you fucking moron.

All true. Guy just wants a good and fun first car, so lower top speed seems like an actual good idea.

Hell, where we are at now as well, mid '90s models will be classics in two years time. He could hold onto one and keep it in the best shape he could and as stock as possible then possibly sell it for a profit in a few years time when he's ready to move up. Hell, even autos will be selling for more, especially with the ready availability of R34 manual conversions around, at least in my areas. You'd want an R34 GTT gearbox anyway since they're literally the same but a but tougher.

Classic registration here is at 30 years old, which eliminates a lot of taxes. Can't modify the car though, only period-correct tuning (10 years younger than car allowed)

So? Just use old style mods then

Aah that's a shame. Classic rego is 25 years here. That's what I'm going to do in a few years time at least. In the mean time I'm just gonna enjoy the shit out of and maintain it best I can then sell it when the time comes.

tfw Americans bought all R32s

12k for your first car?
Also everything in that list ist probably going to kill you if you dont kill it first. Also leave the G60s alone, they are getting rare.

Get a semi modern hot hatch.

fuck hot hatches, they're boring as shit and look like every other hatchback out there

jfc that R32 is butt ugly

stanceshits OUT

You ain't fitting 4 people in a corrado.

suck my dick from the back weeb.

That is disgusting. Literally snapback wearing vapefag tier disgusting

snapback wearing vapers drive stanced volkswagens and other euro cars.

Drifting is just a motorsport anyone can partake in. You sound mad you drive a boring econobox and change its oil every 3k miles so you consider yourself a "car enthusiast"

Uh oh, someone didn't got their daily attention by their moma

Here, have your (you)

You do know that skylines, stagea and jzx100 are rhd only

So?

Here's a (you) back

thanks user. Suck my dink from the back btw

here have another one

bump

Fuck Muslims. You engineered and produced these cars, own them ffs. It's like people that refuse to own a clean Civic Si because of ricers with their fart cans. Fuck cliches and own a car you will enjoy.

the E46 and E39 are getting old and beaten to shit and I don't know if I can afford an E60/E90

>toyota soarer
>comfy

KEK

this man. only saw it once in europe. it was in the UK

Front conversion is pricey and fibreglass, not sure if I want to spend the money trying to intimidate something it will never be
