Hey guys.

Now as much as i love driving my 33, i've come to realise i drive it too much and want to look after it as much as i can.

And so i have decided on buying myself a 2nd car. I'm obviously looking for something reliable and cheap to run. I dont care about looks etc...

I know it depends on the previous owners and how well it has been looked after but im just after a general idea.

I have heard that the old Corrolla is a reliable car as with the Ford Lasers and TX5's.

If any have you have a cheap old shitty run a round let me know of your experiences.

So any suggestions will be appreciated. Will hopefully be getting something before the weekend....

Cheers

get an excell sprint... its cheap.. runs on an oily rag.. and when theres a problem with it over 1000 bucks throw it away

even though its an hyundai.. it is a good run around car if you throw oil at it and dont race it.

3000-5000 clams will get you one with under 100,000kms on it.. who cares what it looks like.. just dont rice it up

Get a small motorcycle, if you just want it as a daily driver/rider it's damn cheap. And when it rains just take the car to work.

I personally do the opposite.

Have a car for daily duties and a bike for fun.

But they are damn cheap to register, and run, well little bikes are. My 750 is quite expensive when it comes to tyres etc.

AE92 Corolla twin cam, with the 4age motor

even an AE82 twin cam corolla

will last forever.

Deffinately :wub: !!!, I have heard from countless people about the bullet proof reliability of these things, some are a little expensive for their age on carsales, but look after them and they will go forever!!

To me for around the $3 - $5k mark you cannot go past this car!

silhouette models are LSD (most worn out) and trip computers etc

BEST seating position out of many cars that i have sat in, also quite good if you;re a tall or big bloke

the wagons are good for throwing a lot of shit in the back.

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
