My first car was a white HR Holden,

3 on the tree, white blinds on rear windscreen and a bench seat up front. :(

Ah yes, this was my first, 1968 HR column shift. Mine was two tone blue/white (I think I still owe my older brother $200, not sure).

Went through a few others including HT Holden, Mini, Mazda 100 Coupe, Fairmont GS, VH Commodore.

After that came VL Commodore, Aussie Nissan R31 (with same motor) and then R33 GTSt.

Blissfully happy with the R33 now, and glad to have driven different styles of car beforehand.

Enjoy.

My first car was an auto 1976 or 78 Fiat 131 Supermirafori ( spelling? ).

It had a blown head gasket and no front brakes for the whole 2 years I owned it :P

Used to pull up to the servo, fill up the radiator and engine oil and if it need it.......petrol :P

First car I was 10 it was an XT 4 door with no panels 221 log head and three on the tree 100 bucks

age 14 got a mini no doors or seat belts ran nice 50bucks

first road car mighty sigma, easily destroyed, but motor was strong as hell.

xd ghia (blew up the clevo)

tx3 laser (lowered, sik)

323 fwd (3door nice)

ef falcon (556000kms, still goin strong)

vk wagon (worst car ever got for free sold for 200bucks.)

vl sedan (nother dissapointing car but nice motor.)

tx5

323 rwd sedan 80model (still own it but its broke, i had to put the motor in the pano)

still own my 323 rwd pano, 50mm weber and extractors, wow fast.

still own my 67 XR falcon ute, tryin to sell it.

I am officially a collector of shit boxes..lol

And of course my 32gtr, it arrived rusty as hell but for some reason www.prestigmotorsport.com didnt include the photos of the extensive rust, i got 30 photos and none of the rust, doh...

Datsun 180b 4 door $80 job that mum got me when i was 14.. Used it to learn how to drive and go sideways and drift. Loved it.. Few repair jobs (starter motor etc)

Awesome little car.. ended up with a Blue bird as my first road car then got a 180bsss with a 300hp FJ20DET and now the 33 =)

Audi 90 2.3L manual, red, lowered, tint, exhaust, some engine work, system, ...loved that car... $20=200km!. full tank on highway=800km :P

The new owner lives around the corner from my sis, and the car is in a shit state now. paint missing on front bar, scratches, blah blah blah,, ill eventually buy another one and work the shit out of it!

U`s all got nothing , my first car 82(i think) diesel gemini , can still feel the power

Hahaha – yep my 1st car was the 82’ TE Gemini, wasn’t the torque monster like the diesel was. Only mods I did to it was about 4 litres of ‘Kill-Rust’ & a couple of kilo’s of bog in the boot, before going all out and blowing the engine – used more oil than fuel! ;)

Best thing that happened is that some woman in a Camera rear-ended it at like 2Km/hr, & with all the ‘bog’ reinforcement the boot just crumpled. I was more pissed that my hours of toil with the ‘bog’ instalment job had been destroyed. Luckily, she was insured and I got enough $$ to put toward my next vehicle – a 1976 FJ40 short wheel base Landcruiser, an absolute rocket compared to the Gemi!

1971 HG Holden stationwagon. had a bench seat up front with trimatic on the column. had a monster of an engine, 253 (4.2L) V8 running a 2 barrel carbie on a 4 barrel manifold. i could get flames to backfire up the carby, that's how far out the timing was. had dual exhaust pipes and no cats, with shiney tips on the end. i would flog the guts out of it and i still never had any problems with the engine. i went through 5 axels however, they kept 'falling out' around corners, honest.

i tell you what though, wagons aren't just good for carting around heaps of stuff, if you know what i mean :)

it lasted me 3 years, and for an initial investment of only $1000 i think it was great. ended up having an indepth discussion with a concrete pole about who was going to move first...

my first car was a pulsar

i have slowly gone up the ranks to include

hyundai excel

ef falcon

toyota cressida with a lexus V8( which is currently for sale if anyone is interested)

and my current car the family wagon (stagea)

    • I’m interested in the carbon diffuser fins and Toshiba MFD screen replacement if they’re still available.
    • @GTSBoy yeah i know it was not the "great" idea but it is and option...but i think i will stay on no BoV rather then trying to make it work with "half" this and that. But that GReddy FV2 is cool...i like that you can make it like stock if you want (and have/make the custom pipes) For other thanks! it was alot of information. But for the sound...a dont rly "like" both of them...specialy if they are loud...but if i "must" choose i would rather have little whooosh rather than sutututu with no BoV....BUT that is what is i gonna get. So for the all info i gather. In my case:  No BoV is not that bad cuz it is stock...and iam used to put N/clutch right after rpms are around 1000 so it should be ok...just need to avoid "big" drops. But i do not have the engine in the car so i do not really know how "bad" or good it is. But as i had that little test drive it looked ok. The atmo BoV should be worse car would dump to much fuel specialy between the shifts...so without proper tune/ECU i dont want that. BUT with that...car should drive ok with no problems right? (i do like there is less piping wih this solution) 🙂 
    • Usually an RB20 won't stay in closed loop idle anyway. The O2 sensor gets too cold, stops swinging.
    • They aren't, but it depends on what interests you about an R32-R34. If it's the front engine I6 turbo that tunes well with a manual transmission an E92 335i 6MT is so incredibly cheap. You can get a super clean one for 20-25k USD tops. Put an LSD in it, tune it, have fun with it. If it's the general idea of AWD + turbo and a manual transmission the 996 Turbo is absolutely much more expensive, it's less practical but it's also basically a complete track-ready car from the factory. At least the Mezger doesn't have heaps of oil control issues. And in the US the 996 Turbo and R33 GTR are roughly the same price these days. 996 maybe a bit more now that the hype has abated for old Skylines here.
