lol daaaam 240k

no no that's not the price... "240K" is the model name of the car. It was sold in Australia as a "datsun 240K". Trust me, you don't want one of those... if you wanna get a 240K and build a replica you might as well buy an AE86 Sprinter. They're all rust buckets the ones in oz.

Any of the older GTR's you have to import from japan, and you can't afford them on a 20k budget.

No matter what anyone says you should buy a house or invest it.

A car will frill you for the first few months of ownership but having a nice bank balance and equity will make you smile even more.

20 grand is alot of money espicially for a 20 year old.

Sure you may say people spend hundreds of thousands on cars so you spending 20 grand is nothing comparitive. But they would have alot more going for them then just enough to purchase a car.

Save up another 5grand, then maybe have a look at something like an S15 200SX Autech, theyre a really sweet looking car, pretty damn good power for an SR20DE (think around 148kw) and theres a few coming into the country around the 25-28g mark

But 20 grand on a car what a waste. The speed limit is 100 nowdays so why bother.

Why not buy a cheap race car and learn to drive quickly?

And have something cheap to run during the week?

Type R .....yummy.....0-100 in about 6 secs....1/4 mile in 14.5...redline at 8400rpm!!

i cant belive ppl are calling these girls cars. ther light, fast and known to be one of the best handling fwd cars. def worth a look at.

i was going to say, get a limited soarer or a celcior and just cruise around... in style, but you cant, because you cant own a V8...

man its a pain in the ass to live in australia these days...

Hey guys I was just wondering... I have a friend that has a turbo car but they got their P's before the rule applied.

So I'm guessing it doesn't cover them right?

What happens if you get pulled over, and you got your P's after the rule applied? I wonder if cops actually look at P platers licence to see if they got their licence after the rule applied?

Any ideas on the fine?

I just still see too many P platers still with turbochargers, supercharged and V8 cars.

Oh well.

First car, $20k budget, speed and handling a must? Thought about a hot hatch?

Renault Clio Sport or Peugeot 206 GTi?

Both NA, both go suprisingly hard and handle suprisingly well, both within budget. More importantly for a first car though - they're both very safe in a crash, and both very fuel efficient.

And clio's look horn with a wide body kit:

Alternatively, how about a 2JZGE Soarer?

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
