Alright guys its me again, my mums currently in Japan visiting the folks, but shes knows someone in the car export market and might be going to a car auction. Might be able to pick up a real bargain there as cars sell so cheaply with low kilometres on them.

I need to know what the japanese equivilent of a s14 is, i believe they are called silvias, and i think the turbo version is a type R, am i right?

Also can anyone think of any other cars that might be going at a reasonable price compared to the uk. I'm assuming any Supra or Rx7 will still be very expensive?

any suggestions under £2000 welcome

Silvia K's is what you're after, Q's and J's don't come with turbo. (King, Queen, Jack)

If I were in Japan/Getting something in Japan it would probably be an S13 Silvia K's, as they're spesh :) There's also another car that I may be getting myself, but not saying shit till I actually get it ordered :D

That s13 silvia k looked pretty sweet, so is the spec for the s14 Silvia K the same as a Uk version?

Close enough to the UK spec for it not to be worth it imo (sorry Papa L :D ) You'd get more wow factor by bringing over something more rare if you ask me :)

Oh this thing is going to have a certain wow factor when I finish with it :nod:

As for the original post, do you mean £2000 in Japan or £2000 "all in".

If the latter, forget it. Look in the Autotrader or Ebay. Sorry to break it to you but you will not get a decent car of any description from Japan and on the road in this country for that sort of money.
