My skyline still being off the road atm, my daily shit box has decided to blow the headgasket (well the new gasket didnt reseal) again, and i CBF pulling it down again to redo my stuff up.

Quick n easy - Does anyone know of a cheap (like im talking ~$500) runabout that is reliable - yes there are reliable $500 cars out there.

I just need something to get me to uni n back 3x a week, so not expecting a XU1 thats been stored for the last 40years in mint. If you know of anyone who may have one, or have one yourself, then let me know asap.

Area doesnt matter, i cant get to most places, as long as it aint outback.

There used to be a thread here with cheap cars going, but its died....wish it was still active...

Thanks for any help.

:P

My family has an Escort that they would like to get rid of. I was driving it when my line was off the road. It's a 1300 Auto- Euro slow as #### but better than walking.

PM me if you're interested

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
