-JD

You would hope people would e level headed and not so ignorant though! :sorcerer: And I think people have displayed that. :)

Having driven the newest model MX5 I have to say it was a lot of fun too, also being RWD is a bonus... but getting over their image is another thing. :no:

Yeah I was waiting for another honda bashing session as well haha.

Go test drive a GT4 and a type r and have a feel for it yourself mate. Try a 5gen vtir lude as well they handle and go pretty good for an NA car, plus you can pick up a good example for a decent price now days.

Trust me, we didn't know Honda cars were so prone to failure until it was too late too. Drivetrain, transmission and engine issues were the more common ones.. you have no idea how much we spent to fix those darn gearboxes!

Soon after that, we changed the fleet to Toyota Corollas and Crowns with a few Nissan Cedrics, and stuck with Toyota ever since.

And yea, 10 years old is ancient ^_^

Most R33s are already that age though... *sighhh*

i only no 1 person with a honda (1992 civic sedan automatic) and his car is falling to bits. He isnt a hoon he drives like abit of a girl actually (probably explains the shitbox choice of car). He currently has major gearbox issues with it as well as strange clunking and banging noises coming from the car.

back on topic... i agree with getting a shitter and holding out until you are allowed a turbo. Either that or buy a turbo and tell the government its non-turbo? :rolleyes: dont no if thats possible or how ur qwirky southern southern laws work (QLD FTW!)

Also consider the FTO GPX (or GPR) or AE101 and AE111 Levins. I'd class them in the same boat as the honda type R's. The FTO has a MIVEC N/A engine which is pretty much VTEC yo, and the Toyota's have the 20V 4AGE engines. Both are good pocket rockets like the Type R's, and cost a lil less coz they're imports.

Then there's R32 GTS25's (yes they exist and are make only 20hp less than a GTSt) and R33 GTS25's, R34 GT's, Supra SZ and Aristo 3.0Q's which are all slower versions of heavy cars that have faster models :laugh: Great if you want the image but not the speed.

Can't be bothered to read all the posts here but I'd get a 32 gts rb25de...decent car to drive while you get experience...then when the time comes go rb25de+t...

or better yet, buy a R32 GTS25, then when you can legally drive a turbo, keep everything you have, and change the block on your car to an RB30E block, add a turbo and wooshka!

Seriously... VN Series 1 Commodore through to a series 2 VS Commodore...

I haev a VR, S2 in manual, (Trying to sell it at the moment) whilst it is NO competition for my GTS-t, it eats up FTOs, eats up Celicas, eats up basically everything else you lot have listed that a new P-plater can legally drive.

Commodores, and Falcons, whilst a land barge, have this great aussie thing called Torque... It wins races.

And you can't modify your car at all, except for looks. Even diff gear changes, from what the RTA has told me, is a no-no. Can't do engine swaps either (Even if engine is standard)

Seriously, get a manual commodore. Absolutely nothing like a skyline, (And I mean NOTHING!) but they'll basically kill all of the P-plater legal 4 and 6 cylinders on the road.

True, and it is embaressing for the people with the 'cool' or trendy cars to say the least! :dry:

Those Commodores have more to them than being merely reasonably quick and entertaining... They are cheap (in more ways than one - insurance, purchase price etc) and the owner is less likely to be so sentimental about them (if they are into Skylines), less likely to get vandalised, reliable and basically carefree all round. You don't have to be a knob who wants to make out it's something it's not to appreciate and get the best from the Aussie family car.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
