My advise is to get him a shit box for the first car we all know what we were like when we got our Ps BURNOUTS, DRIFTING AND RUNNING A MUCK. No use wreaking a good car let him learn in a 1000 doller r31 you can pic them up in good con for that. Then the future when he wants more power dump a rb20det in it

yer but he wants something that he can come on a car run lik mixed jap cars and not lik get laughed at!

1989-1992 Toyota Corolla SX or SX Seca. $4-7k nice sporty hatch or liftback, ultra reliable 1.6L 4A-GE 100kw of power revs to 6500rpm. ultimate first car. Lots of tuner parts available as well.

Comes in 3 Colours: Red, White, Gun Metal Grey (very rare only 1 in 10 were GMG)

Should read : Then the future when he wants more power det it

;)

Oh yer, tell him not to get attached and have big plans for it, because we all know its better to get a better car thats got the upgrades std (like a r32gtst) than if he tried modding a r32 NA (if he bought that to start)

well if he can keep up with skylines in a shit box he wouldn't get laughed at! hahahah

what about a non turbo supra? the old school ones! something like this http://www.carsales.com.au/used-cars/priva...|1&trecs=10

Edited by nos man

old model supra's non turb's are nice lookin and go pretty shit hot for a non turb.

ae86's have full street cred. but are pretty rare to pick up (so if ya can I'd go for this)

even for a first car I'd pay around 2k for an 84 rolla sedan manual, where he can go out thrash the pants of the thing and it wont die and he'll still have money for all those thing's little p platers want for attention, boomin stereo and small mods, double barrel webbers and that sort of stuff...

pulsars are pretty similar too but there front wheel...

honda CRX's aren't too bad and I think look sweet for a hatch...

guys he wants NON turbo and Rx7 is not a learners car

he WILL need to to be insurable with him driving im thinking 600-1000 /yr full comp

dont be sugesting 6cly supras and R31's its not really appropriate

4 banger twin cam the twin cause they love to rev i have a mate selling a 100KW Corrola soon for arround 4g's its very clean and just had the windows tinted the max it will go for is 5g but i think 4 sorry not sure its got standard corrola strut brace in the fron and he want to put sum 16 in rims on it before selling it

if your interested we can organise a look see

ask him what car he wants, if he doesnt know/care, get him a gemini or a 78 corolla like sinista :)

on a serious note

Must be Non-Turbo Celica

Must be a Jap Car Celica

Must be Kinda Sporty Celica 2dr coupe

Must be Nippy not Slow as Celica

Must be a safe and resonably reliable car Toyota

Must be $6000 or Under. 1990-1994 model

    • Apologies for the long post, but needed somewhere to lay out the entire timeline of events and actions taken:   I've got an 89 GTR with a R34 RB in it. It's been running great all year, driven probably 500KM in the last month. It's not my daily driver, just a weekend fun car.    Build info: R34 RB26 - HKS 2.7 stroker kit, HKS adjustable cam gears, HKS turbo upgrades, Trust intercooler, R34 factory DENSO 440cc injectors, JUN chipped/tuned R32 ECU. All of this work was performed in Japan back in 2019.    Thursday 10/2/25 - It's a nice day and decided I'll drive it to work, I start it up in the garage and I notice it took a few extra cranks and sounded a bit funny. I figure maybe it was just because it was a pretty chilly morning. I pull it out into the driveway to warm up a bit before leaving. As I leave the driveway, it feels very off and sounds like a misfire. I pull it back in the garage to deal with after work and take the daily to work. I was able to diagnose it as a cylinder 5 misfire with the old spark plug test (unplugging each plug until a sound change with the engine running). I take off the whole ignition system, ignitor, plugs, spark. *Important note, it is still on the R32 ignition system with the separate ignitor system. I test each system with a multi-meter and nothing presents as a smoking gun. I put it all back together and it starts up no issue. I go ahead and order the PRP R35 ignition conversion kit. It should arrive today (10/13/25)   Friday 10/3/25 - Another nice day, car starts up great and drives great all day. Very pleased that everything seems to be OK   Sunday 10/5/25 - Decided I'll take it to play some golf, load up and drive to the course about 25 minutes away. Drives wonderful the whole way there, I pull in the parking lot and the engine completely comes to a stop. I do not recall if it sputtered at all, but just remember all of the sudden the engine was off. I roll it into a parking spot, try to crank it back on and nothing.  It'll crank and crank and not even try to start. End up getting it towed back to my house and push it up into the garage.    Items I have checked: Fuel in the tank Fuel Pump relay Fuel pump fuse  Spark Plugs & gap Coil packs Ignitor    I know the cylinders are getting fuel as the plugs smell like fuel after a start attempt. I tried spraying starter fluid into the manifold and cranking and not even a sputter.    I decided to do the live CAS test (removing the the CAS, ignition on and spinning the CAS stalk to see if the injectors pulse and spark is active). All of the injectors were pulsing and I have spark at the plug. The half-moon end of the CAS did seem very loose, I'm not sure how much play is supposed to be there, but it was more than I expected. There was no in/out play of the shaft, just the tip end that is pinned on had quite a bit of play.    CAS Play video   When I put the CAS back in, I stupidly did not re-time the engine. I know I need to do that tonight, however, I do not think it will start given it seemingly was not the issue. My plan is to do the PRP R35 coil kit and retime the engine at the same time.    I plan on ordering the Haltech Nexus Plug-in ECU once they are available again, but ideally would like to get this sorted before firing the parts cannon at it and potentially adding more variables.    Anything glaring that I am missing here, I'm a bit at a loss?          
    • Get it on a dyno. Get something logging Consult. Run it up and find out what is causing it.
    • Looking for a plenum for rb25 de+t neo  Not looking to push much power maybe 300kw at the wheels, is there much difference in flow for Freddy “Greddy style” compared to original Greddy or options like Proflow or Otaku garage?    I won’t be porting the de Neo head for now as I think it’ll be fine 280-300rwkw but appreciate the help and any experiences anyone has between them and any advice. Thanks  Looking at this plenum for now below 
    • engine wise almost no mods: stock ecu Greddy front mount intercooler Greddy forward facing intake w R33 TB stock fuel system, stock injectors, rail etc. Kakimoto racing hyper 3 inch exhaust system Apexi intake filter New NGK –R BCPRES (.8 gap) plugs  
    • Nice one @Pac - looks like a fair few 1600's there!
