RX-7 and Skyline GTR - Click HERE for Original Thread

So i have came to the realization that I'm going to get serious about importing a car but am having a tough decision to take the risk of going Rotary or sticking to something more dependable like a GTR.

Either way im looking for a summer ride, RWD, quick but reliable. I'm prepared to do my homework and to get my hands dirty with my ride but I don't want a set of wheels thats going to fall apart after a summer of driving.

I'm not planning on just throwing a bunch of money into the car then to bag the shit out of it....... im gonna try to stay to Stage 1 then Two, then Three, upgrades.

My price range is from 6-8 grand.

My intial interests was something along the lines of a '92 FD3S but will I just be getting myself into a whole lot of trouble.

Cheers

Thanks for the help Christian.

8 grand you MIGHT be able to import an FD3S if you do it yourself and not through someone else.

No hopes of an 8 grand GTR unless you do it yourself but even then you may get a bit of a lemon.

thanks for the help. so itd be better to say throw out another grand and get someone like dom or christian to take care of things.

if you wwant RWD why not a GTS-T type M??

theyre still pretty fast...

if you look hard enough and did your homework you could find a gem but the chances become a lot lower.. you will probably have to bump up your price range by 2K to get one in good condition with little work to do on it..

If your budget is 8000 dont buy an FD or a GTR, find something that fits that price range a little better, gtst comes to mind. Your not likly to find a GTR or FD worth buying that fit into your price range, and if you do the $ required to maintain them is going to blow your budget unless you have money outside your budget for maintenance.

thanks for your input guys it has helped put everything into perspective.....

i think im going to look for one for about 10. and see how that goes.


cheers.
