I dunno wheather you guys would be interested seeing my cars i own.

I had the yellow torana as my first car. My dad and i did it up slowly, couldnt sell it as it was my first car and im attached to it lol but i have had some nice offers on it.

I then bought the silver corvette as my weekend car and cruiser, its going off the road as of monday to get a new paint job and interior.

And of course the skyline cos i was sick of driving around in old cars all the time, it was nice to drive some thing modern!!! lol

Still nothing like the raw feel of the V8 in the LH through the steering wheel, floor pan seats etc..

Much done to the 5ltr? In the LH?

Old man did up a genuine slr5000 when I was approaching license age. Similiar paint job; canary yellow, black bonnet, black around the top door frame, flares, rear spoiler. 4speed 5ltr, quite a lopey cam & 600 holley.

I can't remember the name of the wheels, they were a gold colour with lots of little spokes. Its on the tip of my tounge lol. Once the paint was done and the motor in we jumped in it for a drive around the block sitting on milk crates with no doors. Nothing quite like the old muscle cars. :thumbsup:

reali thats wild!! i have a soft spot for toranas!!! i was going to put a 5ltr in it but being 17 i couldnt get insurance but i could but a hot 4.2L V8 in it and that was fine! lol i cant work out insurance companys!!!!

It was bought as a $1500 white auto 173 6cyl rough torana... i drove around lik that for a few years until my bank balance recovered. It was then pulled off the road for around six months where it had all the rust taken out and had a bob tail spoiler put on it, front spoiler and reverse bonnet scoop. It was sprayed yellow with a black bonnet. The interior was taken out and the standered seats, door trims etc where retrimmed in yellow vinal with black soft cover inserts. I replaced the carpet and hood lining. Also installed was a auto meter monster tacho and a couple gauges.

We then took out the 6cyc engine, the auto gear box and the diff. I bought a 253 V8 which we hotted up with extracors, big carby, big 2 1/2 inch twin exhaust system (sounds hot!!!) with big chrome exhaust extensions etc etc plus alot of chrome bits and pieces. while the engine was out we also tided up the engine bay and sprayed that yellow also. We put in a 4 speed manual and low ratio diff. Also added was a MOMO yellow gear knob, MOMO pedals and a isotta yellow steering wheel.

All in all i love it, i think it looks great and it stands out.

The reason i no longer used it was i bought the corvette then bought the skyline to use as my every day car, so its been sitting in the shed covered up for about 2 years now. But i have decided to spray the corvette and do a new interior on it so it will be off the road on monday for a few months . so the torana is making a come back for about 6months.

Yeh nice work Adam, Love the Vette, definatly one of the best shaped Vette's out! the torries is nice BUT you cant go past the american muscle cars.......

yer thats my fav shape vet, i was looking at a C4 vet because it was more modern but i fell in love wid the curves of the late 70s early 80s vet, so stuff all the modern features lol. but it does have electric mirrors and windows and kinda power steering lol.

Im always on the lookout for my project car - lc gtr with a fuel inj. 5lt out of a late model commy. Sprayed in black. Always wanted to do it, and came close a few years ago as i found an origional bathurst gtr shell in melb, just never got over there to buy it.

Got a soft spot for the torries...soo damn rare now. Hard to find one that has matching plates too...

yer for sure, hard to find ones without hidden rust to. my mate bought a LH shell to do kinda the same thing u want to do, as it turned out he should have waited for someone to go with him as he wasnt that sure of what he was looking at. excitment got the better of him and he bought it. when it was stripped back there was more rust and bog than real metal! ended up going to sims metal!! So a tip for anyone buying always take a magnet with you, put it on any where that looks suss or is known for having rust cos it will only stick to metal not bog!!

      Hi GTSBoy, Excuse my ignorance but what does a "Bad" Knee point mean ?

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By Duncan · Posted

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By CF.Panda · Posted

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
