KowP - I suggest u stop bagging Sunny's :( I still have mine! In fact I drive it almost everyday day to work and back (1hr drive - one way)

Tis a lovely silver beast thats never missed a beat. Was my first car ......in fact the damn thing will prolly outlast me!

My first car exploded...complete with fireball and stuff...it was a proton persona. Started from the battery compartment somehow. Insurance company labeled it under 'disaster'...it took them a while to think of that. Luckily the car died quite a while before it caught fire. Didn't hit anyone, just died on me n exploded.

'88 Laser...sold it to a little old lady :(

she brought a male friend along to check it out, and he commented how it had good tread.... the tyres were nearly bald!! I just agreed and kept my mouth shut lol :)

I used to still see it heaps after i sold it cos she worked at a Harvey Norman near my work :) She even left the surfie sticker i had on it lol

my first REAL CAR..had some before but P.O.S..

was my r30 which i just sold *wait for it* $500 2.4 ltr 5 speed in alright nick,300zx mags,just a sad day and its gunna be sold unless i can find a buyer near A.C.T willing to change my mind $$$..

*cries*

My first car was a 1979 Toyota Carolla SE. the thing went hard at first, but when you had to have 2 guys hold you back in the gravel to do a burnout, there is something wrong there.

then a ford laser 84 sports, then a nonturbo silvia. and finally the best car, a SKYLINE! :):D

1978 TE Cortina, fieces brown 4 speed manual. Never ended up getting registered but served as an excellent get-around-in-the middle-of-the-night-in-a-country-town kind of car. Was sold to bogan for panels for his stacked 250 Cross Flow Cortina, also featured in fieces brown.

Then:ZA (I think) Fairlane 302, also never registered

1979 Sigma Wagon, complete with Dukes of Hazard Racing stripes and 69 on the bonnet. Many a road trip.

1993 VP Crapadore V6, fried the auto with mates holding up the back to do a burnout.

1993 Silvia Qs, why I didnt just get a turbo I dont know?

1997 Fairmont Ghia, Tickford susp and kit, Simmons rims, was a tag job though

1993 R33 200kws at rears

1987 AE82 Corolla

1993 R33, should have just kept the old one...

1989 R32 GTR sitting Japan awaiting DOTARS ruling on 15 Year rule.

    • Haha, i kow right? Could have bought so many cars for the same amount of money (or less) but driving Unicorn gives you at least +1mln to style 😅. Like wise man said "life's to short to drink cheap wine and drive boring cars" 😉
    • Newbie here, proud owner of an Autech 260RS. I'm on the hunt for wiring diagrams specific to the 260RS, particularly S1. I've ran my eyes through R33, R34 Diagrams, there are some similarities, however continue to find incorrect wire colours and pins on connectors in the 33,34 diagrams.   I was hoping someone could point me in the right direction? I'd be happy to pay for the originals in Japanese. I can translate them, at least they would be accurate.   Any help please would be greatly appreciated, never heard an RB26DETT before let alone driven one, and I've got a spaghetti monster of goodness to sort out.   Cheers Benny  
    • Hey all  im wondering if you can help me please I have put a rb20 box in my r34 gtt as my auto packed up and a friend had a spare box I know it’s not ideal but it will get me up and running for now. we have done the conversation and everything is working great but my Speedo we got a s13 speed sensor but my Speedo reads double now and I bought a speed converter but still not having any luck.  so I thought I’ll reach out and pick your brains  any help would be appreciated please as I wanna drive my car again 
    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻
