i got to drive to school for half the year when i got my car. i bunged up old lh torana. at least it was a 3litre, had *some* guts. looked like a real heap though. one of the first few days i drove it in, this other girl driving her mum excel or something says 'hey shaun is that even road worthy?' and i was like of cos! ya stupid idiot..., that last part was only thought though. i didnt even really know her and shes commenting on MY car? damn her. damn her i say.

Doesn't apply to That's just plain f*****g stupid. You can learn to drive in one, do the test in one, but then you wouldn't be allowed to drive it home!!!!

In canberra a few of the major learner driver companies have turbocharged cars for the learners (which i find pretty stupid really). So i guess the exemption is for that reason, or if your learning to drive on your L's in your dads skyline etc.

you could image the amount of kids that would rather learn in a turbo whatever then a ford festiva (as i did! :D) when it comes to picking driving schools.. even a turbo astra or something (can think of other smaller cars with turbos) would be cooler to a student then an excel..

Yeah actually that would be the case for a lotta kids hey.

I chose my driving school from others comments. So i chose the most easy going driving instructor of them all so i could get my licence in as little lessons as possible. It paid off, i got it in the minimum amount of lessons, while my mates driving the WRX's spent a good $150 extra to get their licences :)

haha my first car was a 1981 civic....1.3L....it had maby 50hp...and about 49 of em were dead...lol....talk about crap...farkn trucks were taking off from the lights faster than me...lucky my freinds didnt like me cos of my car...

i used to drive my r33 to skool everyone loved it, but there was also a 2 wrx's and a modifed 300zx tt, some nice cars at my school but, my mate had a new ss ute and got it impounded for doing a burnout outside a shopping center lol.

LOL i remeber when i was a youngin in year7 or 8 so 13 or so, i saw a RX7 smoke up the whole street, the busses had to wait 3 or so mins for the smoke to clear. So i contiuned walking to the train station, and abotu 5 mins later it went screeming past with the front gard onfire and a paddy wagon chaseing it. LOL

I guess it was stolen, but still when i saw that ive always said last day year 12, and if i don't pop a stock tired i'll be dissapointed :(

One of my mates has a HQ i think Holden ute, with apparently 350bhp, so i think he'll out do mine LOL but still the more the merrier LOL

could be a good idea to give L plates a go in a turbo car, hopefully it will scare the shit out of them and theyll drive slower because they know how dangerous it is and they know that whatever piece of shiz they drive its not worth speeding coz its not a fast car...... maybe

I'm glad to have driven my car on my L's... If I had gotten it on my P's I would probably have crashed it pretty badly

My first car i built on my l's with my old man we put a worked 5l fuel injected v8 into a vc commodore. The day i got my p's i was the happiest guy alive i could finally drive my v8 out the driveway and see how it went. On top of the world i was.

Thats how i felt, this car was my first car, ive had my licence for about 10months and this was the first car ive bought, i know that feeling, and still very much feeling it today =) I just can't wait for a skyline cruse one day.

so far ive driven a few turbo cars, 3 to be exact. 2 R33's, and a forester.

was the best damn feeling in the world doing laps of a carpark in R33 number one.

and then again hearing the boxer growl from the scooby

and my god, dropping it into second gear in a 230kw R33, and planting it pretty much has garunteed i will be getting a turbo car.

didn't scare me at all, but it did make me realise how much trouble a turbo car could put you in if you dont respect the boost. "second gear, wet round about and come on boost, bye bye road, hello tree"

my first car was my 33 and i drove it to school every day....i went to a private school but paid for my car myself...anyway there was a lot of guy getting given BMW's and stuff like taht one kid got given a 330Ci for his first car...anyway they thought they were top sh1t and would always go cruising round near nepean highway after school on fridays one of them told me my car was jap shit so i said ok let go nepean i showed them why they make skylines with such nice back on them... was quite funny...by the end of the year the car had all the respect it needed

    • Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.
    • Punch your VIN (nm35-xxxxxx) into Amayama.com You can see everything there quite easily.
    • Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.  
    • Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.
    • OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
