You have $5,000 to spend on a car that has a turbo, a manual transmission, and forced induction. Go

You beat me to the punch.

There were also a few first generation MR2s that came with a really nifty supercharger. It used an electronically controlled clutch to disengage the supercharger at lower speeds so it didn't sap power when idling, etc.

It's a great car, but nowere near the moster that is the 2nd gen japanese mr2 turbo post-94... It's 100hp more powerful than 1st gen supercharged Mr2... It's REALLY fast... 0 to 60 is the same as my (now ex) LT1 Corvette, which is crazy considering it does not have nearly as much torque...

It's an MR engine though... Unless you're Keiichi Tsuchiya, good luck having fun putting it sideways... it does not like it much :)

Kinda depressing what RWD, turbo, manual cars you can buy in my country for less than $5k.

Soo many diesel Bimmers, diesel Mercs, diesel Omegas and Maserati Biturbos. And then there was this.

Every once in a while I see a R33 GTS-T for $5k, it might be a bit knackered but would still be fun.

Not quite sure if this one has a turbo or not.

But the best choice for me would be an Avantime:

JDM import a A31 Cefiro or S13 Silvia.

Car: $2000

Import fees: $2000

Shipping from port to my door + registration should be less than $1000

Galant VR4 Evolution, Familia GTR and Pulsar GTIR are also somethings I would look for

meh, my R32 GTS-T cost $4k at the auction, got it to the US for $7k total including registration and taxes and shipping from port to my door. R33 will be like that in a few years.

It was totally worth it.

There are other JDMs that are cheaper even. Like a Silvia, Cefiro, Pulsar GTIR etc. And those are just Nissans. Other makes all have equivalent cars that you can get in Japan for like $3k or $2k and less.

If I had the time and garage space I'd love to take one back to the states with me. The R32 GTS-Ts (as Kanaric mentioned) are just as reasonable and can be shipped now.

Wow I really am glad I researched the Cefiro. It looks so bad ass, plus it's a four door skyline.

There are some really good looking ones out there.

The AWD version has the same suspension as a R32 Skyline. RWD version has some front suspension from IDK what. Maybe S13?

Cefiro is the Maxima but the A31, the good one, was before it was the Maxima.
