Very nice...

Soarer TT... he posted it up in the for sale section... has a vertex kit on it.

Shes pretty much sold on it :)

How embarasing... my quiet as a mouse gf maybe having a faster car than mine... FOR NOW! :P

funniest thing was ringing up and getting a quote on insurance... shes nearly 25 (2 months away) with a spotless driving record and im only 22 with a speeding fine and on the same rating with RACV theres like 200 dollars difference between the 2 quotes LMAO. She was expecting to get insured for like a grand at the max haha

another thing was i got a quote with that soarer in my name and got a quote of 2500... asked for a quote on a GTR (1990 cause 89s arent in the list) which has the same sized engine almost, same amount of turrbos, technically the same power but the GTR i quoted has less mods and it came up with 2900 for full cover but thats no guarantee that the computer will accept it. Ghey arse double standards.

i been looking at cars for my gfriend for the last 3 months!

FTO's, Pug 206 GTI, Proton Satria GTI, Supra (laughed when she drove 1 for the first time coz she couldnt see anything properly), Vectra, 300zx, Mazda 323 SP, and i am quite sick of looking at em all now.

INASNT,

if you dont mind me saying Satria GTIs are crap.. I'm sorry to say that but i come from Malaysia and they are everywhere but this is not the problem .. sure its Torquey but its just not the best bang for the buck ..

i'm sure there are much better cars in the market than a GTI .. and besides its a Proton ! you guys know how dodgy protons are right ? their sales here in Australia is so low, they are struggling with it ..

just my opinion though .. just dont want you and/or your gf to regret ..

inark,

soarers are sweeet !!

cheers guys !

i know i saw 1 drove 1 and then said no farkin way u r buying that crap

yeah man .. i know what you're saying .. they are just not worth the money .. for the price you pay for an end 90s design with crappy 4G93 engines .. and the interior is another joke !

lol doxx... if she does get it i will definately have to upgrade to something faster... altho (sinful as it maybe) i have been looking at NON nissan alternatives to my GTST

*dodges the stones*

I saw that Soarer josie was looking and a few weeks ago and thought it was a pretty good deal.. should grab it.

NOOOOOO! no matter which car my next one is it should be a nissan.. What alternatives u been thinking of nark??

pred -

RX7 TT series 6

96 GTO TT

98 Legnum VR4 TT

something a little more "exotic" and rare that i can see for an extra bit of cash.... i was thinking of getting my mum to bring me one over in a year and if i get a GTO i can sell it for an extra 20k... same with the RX7. Then maybe look at getting an R34 GTR

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
