Hey everyone again

I need to know what you would choose between there 2 cars and why also if anyone has experience with either car what does it cost to run each week approx. A non turbo nissan silvia or a 1.8l 1997-onwards mitsubishi lancer. I cant decide which to get for my first car.

I like the silvia cause it has a bit of power and it sounds like a fun RWD 4cyl. Whereas the lancer i like cause i can whack on a EVO 7 or so body kit and make it look real good. Let me know what u think.

thanks in advance nathan

Don't be fooled, the silvia is the go here, but it not your ONLY choice.

Maybe a late model 180sx non-turbo, they are a bit more expensive, but have the kick ass looks, with the non-turbo engine.

What about an AE86, they Kick ass and will appreciate in value.

Or if you want something on the cheap how about an old Celica, RWD, super cheap, heaps of parts and the oppertunity to do it up.

There are HEAPS more choices, all are more interesting than a lancer with a bodykit.

The Supercharged 4A-G was introduced in the AW11 MR-2 in 1986, and the AE92 Levin/Trueno in 1987.

The AE86 had an NA 4A-G in Japan, but the Australian ones had a piss-poor 4A-C. Steer clear of the Ozzy ones unless you want to do an engine swap (if they havent had one already).

Eh ?

They are so old the AE86 Sprinter/Trueno's....

There would be tons and tons of work to be done on them and good luck getting one for under $10,000 Imported and a decent version is fkn hard to find in Australia.

Go the lancer, it will look nice, put a fart can exhaust on it and a body kit you will have a nice looking car cruising around for mods less then $2000.

      Squeaking clutch/throw out bearing

      By patrickxdf12 · Posted

      Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4

      S15 Spec R

      A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!

      R33 Fuel Pump & Brakes after alarm swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
