Default Lil Bro got lucky...

I found my little brothers real dad, his dad never knew my brothers last name so he could never find him. they've never spoken a word to each other until roughly 2 weeks ago. my bro's 17, doesnt know a shit ton about cars but he loves Nissans. so pretty much he gets roughly 17k to spend on a car in the Cali/Nevada area and he wants a nissan, 350z, s13/s14, skyrhine ect.

you guys help him find something out there. i dont really go on any other forums so idk. give us some idea's.

hes not looking for something stupid fast putting down over 700hp and all that, just something fucking gangster and boosted.

If I may offer some aged advice. Buy something for under 7k, put the rest into the bank, or invest it.

I wonder, if I find my cousin will I get 50 bucks?

Never knew that finding relative = cash. I'll look into it now.

his dads loaded dude, and it just so happens to be his birthday on the 11th of this month and xmas is coming up. needless to day his dad feels compelled to make up for lost presents. good luck with your cousin though.

and hes getting 17k for a car, other money for other things. while building a car would be fun he just wants something done and done.

lol, if it were my choice, with 17k i'd be buying a car that needed a few months downtime to be complete

but thats not his deal and i really wont be around enough to build this thing for him. he wants something with a little kick, full interior, boost, superflush fitment and some nice aero. hes in love with the supermade coupe, so think something along those lines.

actually being able to drive a car that is sorted out and doesn't fall apart all the time? sounds good to me!

I'd look for an S14 with the ususal sus/wheels/aero mods. Assuming you're not stuck in a smog state like Cali, a stock SR swap with fmic and exhaust should be plenty and reliable as well. You should be able to find some nice examples in the 10-12k range. Blow the rest on a spare set of baller wheels. For someone that wants something fast but doesn't know dick about cars, I'd stick to a simple engine setup. None of this built crap.

yeah, he wants something with a little kick. he plans on learning off of this car and he will have money to upgrade the engine bay area in the future. he knowingly accepts that he doesnt trust himself with a 450whp s13 anymore than he trusts himself with a GSX1300R.
