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)

    • Ok thanks..that was my second question if i can somehow bypass this even with Nistune(that is all i have right now...aparat from stock ECU. So with some aftemarket it can by "bypassed" or make it work?  I know there is Link or Haltech (mainly used). We have ECUmaster here so i will gather some info about it.
    • Yes. You will need to get the original boost sensor and wire it in. That is.... if you plan to use a stock ECU - even a Nistuned ECU. The Nissan ECU will not operate correctly without it connected. And yes, it will do annoying stuff like you are experiencing. You will almost certainly be better off with some aftermarket ECU, than trying to hunt down rare sensors.
    • Ok so ABS/TCS is "not" the problem. Yeah i know now about the ABS with Nistune(i told that to the Nistune guy) but iam not 100% why or why i dont have ABS. ABS cube is in the engine (always has been) but i had braked couple of times rly hard and brakes just locked and scream. Does all Skylines have ABS cube? That boost sensor https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/367633-wtb-r34-gtt-turbo-pressure-sensor-pics-inside/ Is this it? I need to ask but i have a picture of engine bay and i do not see that (100% is not in that place) If i do not have this the car can do what mine is?(cutting around 4000 rpm) Here is the pic of my engine bay(only one i have) BUT i think i dont have that cuz loom was used from my RB20DE NEO and i know (obviously) that it does not have boost control or any wire to that...) so maybe that is the problem? (i dont know for 100% if that car where the engine is from had that)...but i dont have the loom from that
    • I'm with you here. It's either loom has an issue, OR, injectors are not functioning properly. It could even be they're just constantly dribbling, hence the wet, but not firing.
    • Depending on how long the car sat it is very possible for injectors to be stuck open or closed, I'd get them cleaned and flow tested. Other than that, obviously when the loom changes and the car doesn't start any more....the loom is suspect so some tracing / comparing may be required
