Have you considered, I don't know, checking the web site of the government department that looks after licensing?

This is not what SAU looks like.

If you can't work out how to Google an answer to what cars you can't buy and what options you don't have, then maybe you shouldn't have a car with "power". There's a reason why they don't want certain people driving certain cars, and from what I've read of your posts so far you're it.

Get a honda, say a prelude VTi-R. You could most likely find one for under 10 grand but in my honest opinion, get a working, reliable car with that 10 grand and wait until you get off your p's and then get any car you want. Everyone else has waited, I'm sure you can too.

Good choice! If UR in Sydney (but it looks like it could be Melb), you can have a try of my VTiR 4th Gen (although it ain't 4 sale). They're going for about $8500 now; + or -.

Great Car

Great sound when V-Tec hits

Great cornering with 4WS

Hard to find

Hard to break

Hey guys ,

IM JUST ABOUT TO SELL MY R33 SKYLINE.

ITS A BLACK 1995 NON-TURBO COUPE WITH A FEW EXTRAS

so have a budget of 10k and on p-plates.

if your in to skylines you could consider the following.

R31 skyline- Aussie built RB30E has pertental and a grate car for a newby driver IMO.

R32 skyline non turbo- RB25DE bloody hard to find or put a RB30E in it.

R33 skyline non tubro- i dont know much about them

R34 skyline non turbo- may be out of your price range by a few k but still a great car

i know most about the 31 since i owned one for 4 year.

avg price 2-4k for a decent stock example about 5-6k for a moded one.

has a 3L eng and can easerly get some decent power (i had 120rwkw after apx $3000 spent of performance mods in n/a form after a stock 70rwkw).

can find manuals

heaps of performance parts avalerble.

then you would have any n/a 4cyl car or 6cyl car

i.e

corrola

falcon

best bet jump on carsales do a search with your buget for all n/a cars with a max CC of 3500 (3.5L) i think thats the biggest you can go.

this will then give you a list of all current cars that are up to your buget that are non turbo/supercharged and have aeng capacity no bigger then 3.5L

hope this helps

The only problem with buying non turbo 32/33/34's, is that they're a tad on the gutless side. (no offence to the non-turbo boys, I'm sure you've all got your reasons why you own one.)

The kid next to you in the SSS or civic or integra will hand your ass back to you in a second.

A good P plate friendly car list whilst having some enjoyment while driving:

R31 if you like a RWD basher

Pulsar SSS

Integra Type R or Civic Type R

VTiR Prelude

MX-5

Set them up to handle.

Someone close this thread. This topic has been done to death

Keymaker, I would prefer to drive a gutless skyline than a r31 or mx5 i would prefer to walk

    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
    • There is a really fun solution to this problem, buy a Haltech (or ECU of your choice) and put the MAF in the bin.  I'm assuming your going to want more power in future, so you'll need to get the ECU at some stage. I'd put the new MAF money towards the new ECU.
