my bro's selling his CA18DET 1990 silvia, it's manual, sunroof, hicas, abs, 17 inch crome rims, cat back exhaust, turbo timer........even though its turbo it's still very economical in my opinion, but then im comparng it to my supra.

It hasnt been driven in a year, only started every now and then, got de-licenced when we went overseas, and only just got it registered this week, so it went over the pits and you know it's roadworthy. mechanically it's faultless, we put in a new power steering rack and new brake rod bushes so it can go over the pits. Only problem i know of is brake pads might need changing as its not braking the best, but then again the guy at the pits passed it so it cant be that bad.

He wants round $9,000 for it, but it is negotiable. Make an offer.

One more thing, dash has just been changed as the old digital head up display one stuffed up (common problem ive been told), so now it has the analogue one, but if u find a digital one then the head up display will work also. As far as odometer, this one shows 70K, the one before was about 90K, but as u know with these cars, not even the last one could be trusted, only way you can convince yourself of the mileage is the condition of the car, and this one certainly doesn't show wear, drives very nice.

he needs to get rid of this to make room cos he's buying an r34.

When it comes to daily drivers I love my late model Magnas.

Cheap as chips to buy. (2 to 3year old examples with 50K's go thru Pickles each week from between 10 - 12G)

Plenty of power / torque. (High 15's from the factory, great for winning 'form 1 lane' races!)

Great fuel economy. (Mine runs around 9L/100kms)

Reliable. (3yrs ownership 70'000kms - and except servicing Expenditure = $0)

Heres mine, altough is due for replacement (with another Magna) very soon

what about a rs liberty - 2.5lt boxer engine, all it needs is a decent zorst and voila for about 10-12g's (if ur lucky to get one for a decent price) one of the best sleeper cars - almost the same as a wrx (awd and all that) but its got a 2.5 lt (non-turbo but if u can get a rs turbo its even better) engine, not a 2 lt

you can buy my excel for $5000

its had about $3500 repairs done to it - new head, radiator, aircon condensor etc, relativly new clutch, new front tyres, whole new front end (thanks to a prang - no chassis damage)

:D:):(

suzuki mightyboy FTW

3 cyl 800cc - great fuel economy

surprisingly has quite a bit of room behind the two seats

its a ute so you have room to stash stuff in the tray/fill up with ice and beer

I speak from experience... just add some cool stickers, a 5" monster tacho with shift light, and 2x 15" subs!!!

I did... it made the girls weak at the knees and kept me and the boys in hysterics!

Best thing is it's near impossible to get a speeding ticket as the fasted I could get the thing was 108km/h downhill with a strong breeze behind me!

If laugage space is of no concern, you're under 5'7" and you can live with a 2 seater go for the Suzuki Cappacino >_< They are GREAT on fuel, great in traffic and ALOT of fun to drive.

This one has already been sold, but i still miss my mate having it :(

PS: This car just had a Suzuki Motorsport upgrade - $1200 (ECU, turbo, injectors) made 65rwkw, had an exhaust (cat back) and some shocking tyres with heaps of sidewall flex. But still managed to beat and overtake a few lightly modified skylines (exhaust, cooler, rims) at Winton Rwy :D All other components were std, including suspension, etc :D

    • Thanks Dose.....    I appreciate it!!
    • I'll probably be putting the shit box back on the dyno again soon, I want to dial in the closed loop boost control properly. I'll have a camera facing the car/motor for fun too. Just note, there are essentially 3x 10AN inlets going into the catch can and 1x going back to the intake pipe. Most of the time the catch can "return" to the sump actually is the crank case breather, pushing air out.
    • I have the R3C with a Nismo slave and by no means does it behave like a stocker, it ain’t THAT bad. On take off just give a bit more throttle than you would say a coppermix and it’s fine. It will not slip though.   
    • Okay. Final round of testing done. Got a friend to hook up a fancy scanner to the car and we also ran some compression and leakdown tests, she is healthy.  The MAF was definitely the culprit. So for future reference anyone with similar issues that find this thread. I suggest the following steps, in order of affordability:   Check your spark plugs for any fouling, replace plugs if they are bad or re adjust the gaps making it narrower (0.8mm would be good). Check every coil's resistance with a multimeter. It can be done by probing the IB and G pins on the coil pack. Resistance should be around 1.4 (+/- 0.1) Ohms Check the MAF. If you have Nissan connect or a good scanner with the 14 adapter it should allow you to see the voltage on the MAF reading should be around 1.1 - 1.2V when car is idling. But if you don't, buy a new MAF from Amazon and test, then return it. (For instance, I got a Chinese one for $40 that was reporting 1.3v on idle). If you still have scanner, you can run tests on the injectors to see if they are working, just remember to unplug the fuel pump fuse/relay and have no pressure on the line. Then listen for the noises that the injectors make. Clean/replace injectors as needed. Once you find the issue and fix, order thousands of dollars worth of OEM parts to refresh unrelated things (Optional)   PS: Thanks to the absolute legends of this forum for the responses and help to someone that went a bit over their head. (me)
    • Ha ha ha, so they stopped the bearings spinning on the one you want, but then decided the crank hub should slip instead 😛   Stick to RB, at least you can work on it yourself. And now it doesn't smell of vapour   Also I still believe there's a chance your new flap doesn't "pop", as even though the engine might breath hard, it has a direct path with no restriction to the inlet, which when on boost should pull a bit of suction for you. If you do get pressure in the catch can id be very intrigued. Time to put a boost gauge on it, and a session at the track, then solid cover your vent and do another session
