my dad has has a good job where he gets different cars each few weeks. Also, i was lucky enough he trusted me to drive them.... hehe, hit the 150km/h mark a few times and he was pretty cool :P

That's the advantage of having rich parents i suppose.

hey wtf rich parents?

im 19 on the 13th of oct and ive been working since i left school, im now working full time for the last few months, and earm good wages. my parents didnt do shit for me

I had a VL for the first month i was on my L's then i got my skyline. I also drove mums LS1 Caprice, Dads Ford Exploder and then his SS UTE when he got it, oh and an SR20DET Silvia, my first turbo experience and since then something has been missing.

I had a Mazda RX-3 with a 13B turbo. Was much quicker than the skyline but definetly down on the luxury items (no a/c, p/s, etc). The previous owner managed a 12.1 ET in it before selling it to me. After going with my dad for one of those 'L' drives, we came across my dad's fav car.. a 911. I gave it a good boot and went very good against the porsche, however I don't think it impressed my dad all that much and the following week while I was at work the car was sold by my folks :P

Dad seemed to think it was a little too quick for an L plater.

The problem with learning to drive in new, good cars and imports is that you don't appreciate them.  

It's when you learn to drive in a $500 peice of junk that you can TRULY appreciate the beautiful cars we drive.

I can relate. I get to learn to drive in crappy 1.3Litre cars, so going on to an import sports car after that... hehehe

I second that, my esky van had really deep offset rims with low-pro 185's, and a tiny little steering wheel plus a bunch of camber....dang talk about hard to turn the steering wheel at low speeds!

    • Hi guys, just after some guidance with an R34 sunroof that has stopped working correctly. It still opens and closes perfectly fine, but it no longer tilts/vents up or down. As a result, the rear of the glass now sags a bit as it drops down slightly in order to retract into the roof, but now it can't pop upwards into a flush position. I’ve probed the pins on the back of the switch connector with a multimeter and it seems like both switches (for open/close and tilt/vent) still work correctly. Any ideas on what it could be, or where I should even start in terms of diagnosing? I'm sure someone's had this issue before but I haven't been able to find anything online relating to this specific issue, most of the issues are with the seals leaking or the motor failing entirely. Thanks in advance!
    • Do you have some data like fuel pressure? It's really hard to say if you're still fighting a fuel system issue at this point. Could be something weird like the FPCM dipping out.
    • Yeah in that case, pulling the dent out. Event a very slight dent can create a lot of work filler-wise and there is a strong chance the panel won't be the factory shape when you are done (as the dent will result in a new high point created somewhere, then everything is brought up to that new high point... but the panel shouldn't be that high if that makes sense).  So you've filled and primed the panel and it is flat, why would you go back and remove the primer and add more filler? 
    • Something else I have been faffing with while the car was off the road is making the AC work. Assuming the car isn't at a thermal limit the idea of having AC while waiting in line to go on track sounds delightful. I have actually been lugging around the weight of the entire system since 2018 when the RB25NEO went in without it working at all.  The main reason was in the first few events before I got around to re-gassing it the rubber hose that runs under the manifold had the factory heat wrap/sleeve fail resulting in this: ~2 years ago I purchased a complete used R32 AC line set but when I finally went to install it the line i needed was different where the expansion section is I found a local place that was able to replace the rubber section and re-crimp. They also added some modern heat sleeve to the hose Tight fit but fingers crossed this is the last physical piece of the puzzle needed
    • the top black section is bonded to the silver section with some form of rubber. I assume to isolated NVH from the box
