hey guys, i know its not bout vl's and i dont know if this is meant to be in this section (if not can one of the mods move it to where it should be.. thanks ops: ) i am looking at buying a smaller car shortly and i was just after some ideas and comments. i was thinking along the lines of a nissan pintara or something thing like that. has to be a sedan and have good fuel economy. looking at spending up to 7000. cheers jeffo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

My grandfather has a Nissan Pintara hatchback type one, its still 5 door and yeah its pretty quick, certainly worth looking at. I think its a 2.4L 4 Cyl and will tow a heavy trailer with ease and is quick for a smaller car let me tell ya.

i wouldn't look at those old pintaras in the r31 skyline shape, i always thought they struggled with a 4cl motor for a car that big.

Yeah they sucked, i'm talking about the rounder shaped ones...

yeah i dont think they had the 2.4's in them anyway, i think (the 31's), the newer ones got the 2.4 monster.

one word.............hyundai. hahahahaha Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

It was either a 2.4 or a 2.6 but i know its around that... i THINK its a 1992 model that my grandfather has but i'll double check. He's never had a problem with it at all other than a brake booster let go and someone rear ended it.

y don't u buy somethin old skool with a 2L in her something... my mate had a datsun 1600 with a 2L non turbo motor in her.. and she got up and went hey.... or theres a gemini... or u could get an old skool corolla with rear wheel drive :P not as attractive though... depends what u need it for in the long run... but i still to this day wouldnt mind getn a datto 1600 to run around in one day... i love em :mrgreen:

it's a 1.8 for the Gli and a 2.4 for the TRX (and another model). Yes, the TRX (sports model) is quite a fast car. Check out forum.teamnse.com for more info. There's an aussie "pintara" section there. The cars can look quite sweet with the TRX kit (rare as all hell to find though) and lowered on 17's.

the old bluebirds arent too bad either

PINK EXCEL , IT WOULD SUIT U keep the vl bro

hmmmm. pink excel with a fulsik 5 inch sports tip u reckon andy? i think( not positive) that all or most of the pintaras(around the 90' model) came with a 2.4L twin cam? what do all u guys think bout liberty's? what year lib could i get for my 7 or 8 grand? keep the comments commin. its a great help. jeffo Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That's [SPESHAL] from Performance Forum's car. For your info, that car runs VERY low (as you can see) and the tyres would be very expensive. That thing runs 20psi from what ive heard and is quite fast.

Quote: looking at spending up to 7000 You can get a good car for $7000, why dont you buy a car for $1500-$2000 and spend the rest on your VL. If you spend $7000 on a run about by the time you sell it you would of lost a fair amount of cash in depreciation. Just a suggestion though.

i reckon what muzza's said is the way the go... but i think jeffro owes some money to his olds.... but well worth considering i say Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

That thing looks like a Saab made babies with an old Hyundai Lantra...

should we get onto what your car looks like now?
