So I am looking to buy pretty soon, and am keen on either a series 1 R31 or MX73 cressida. Which is the best for something mildly shakotan and slide-able?
For R31 I'd be thinking:
- S13 coilovers, R31 LCA's, custom tie-rod etc set up to correct S13 geometry.
- Thick rear sway (Maybe dual?).
- Lowdown (like tucked exhaust, <100mm rail clearance, not legal).
- Some form of OEM Nissan rear spoiler-lip.
- 15x8 -15ish fronts, 8.5-15ish rears.
- Stripped, Nardi, Brides.
- Stock RB30, falcon throttlebody, breathing mods, oil cooler, chipped maybe, simple.
- 4.11's, locked.
And probably build on it from there, doing little things when they need to be done.

For MX73, I'd be thinking:
- AJPS coilovers 8kg front, KYB AGX 8way rears, 6kg rear springs.
- Lowdown (like same for R31, low low low).
- Some form of chin spoiler.
- 14x8.5 -10ish fronts, 9 -5ish rears.
- Stripped, Nardi, Brides.
- Freshened up 5M-GE, new bearings, seals, etc etc, cleaned up and shaved head, reground cams.
- W58 conversion, decent clutch.
- 4.11's, locked.
Same deal as with R31, build on it from there.

So, what are your opinions on each car? What pathway should I go?
Kind of a useless thread, but help will be appreciated.

Ryan.
