Everyone seems to be creating these threads lately, so I didn't want to be left out.

My car is now sold, I delivered it to Ballarat this evening. I haven't really noticed any sadness at it's passing, either because the long period of time it took to sell brought me acceptance, or it just hasn't sunk in yet

next car is still being decided upon, with it's requirements that it be reasonably cheap (the whole point of selling my line), and yet still be fun, and have potential for future modification once debt levels reach 0.

There's a few candidates, no real decisions yet though. Would have been nice to get a new car on the dyno today, but never mind.

See some of you at rays in 10 hours

Suggestions...

Jap: Go for a Laurel or something. not as quick but it can be played with later. 4 door too!

Aussie: VN-VP SS commodore or EB-ED XR8. Just sounds good and a bit of fun...

Cheap to run: N14 SSS pulsar. SR20 goodness and good run around.

there are so many choices!!!

An EG Civic. Despite what most would think, they are alot of fun :whistling:

bwahahahahaa :P

yes ive driven one ...

ive thrashed one ...

they roll worse than my munro ... they are fwd, they have no power ... they are 1.7 litres of shitness, shall i continue ?

omg its mattel ! never buy a civic !!!!! that is all. lol

whats wrong with a civic? my 25 year old civic is still running lol.....15+ km/ltr - only problems is that gear 3 seems to pop out...so i have to hold that and drive it...but i only use that car to go to work sometimes and to deliver drinks to some vending machine in lilydale (and to take my dog to the vet). Maybe I should have poped that on the RE Customs dyno for laughs (supposed to have 45kw of power at the engine - so about 10 kw at the wheels?)

for 6k justin - there are a couple of mr2s on the j-spec website....is this just for the track/deca/drags etc?

It needs to be my daily driver, and it would be nice if it did the others as well :)

Doesn't need to look the best, just needs to be mechanically sound

Sad to see the 4 door go Justin, Up your budget and buy my celsior!!

You can buy some half decent cars for around 150,000 yen in Japan, that will give you some change from you budget.

Free plug for my homies at J-Spec!

    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
    • Well, I had an Edward Lee's special edition odo windback car/motor with a RB25DET S2 and I put down 372kW with a good amount of track abuse for 1.5 years before the ring lands decided it didn't want to stick around anymore 🥲 But probably didn't help I kept on smashing try limiter on the track and a few skid pans.
