My Skylines/s have been my dailys since j got my license. Had a 1990 Ford Laser I bought for $200 when the 33 was off the road. Small bottom end knock, nothing major. Lasted... 4 hours until the bottom end knock turned into something much more major, drove it like that for a week then gave up! I think it was piston slap, but ended up taking it tithe wreckers after 4 weeks anyway.

I miss Clunky... Original name, I know :bunny:

Hopefully I can use my sisters 1.6L 323 Protege until I can afford a 4WD myself.

No, I love this thing, and thats my short trip town figure (5klm to work), it does 13's on the highway.

Plus, it's the best tow car ever for my race car AND takes me to Fraser Island for the holidays and sounds awesome.

Worth every penny :D

1984 Mitsubishi Colt sedan. Worked 4G32 (twin 40mm solex sidedrafts, bumped compression to 10:1, cam, porting, extractors, 2.25in exhaust) HH Galant GSR 5 speed LSD, dumped (it's got bout 65mm ground clearance atm lol) over 13x7 widened steelies wearing 155/60's and chrome dress rings using custom coilovers on all four corners based on TP Magna struts, , TP Magna brakes, MINT original body and paint, Sigma GSR rear spoiler, Bunnings garden edging front lip, detachable zoku exhaust tip, Nardi, dildo shifter, Bride reclinables, basic stereo and electrically adjustable jap market MZ11 fender mirrors.

It's a f**king awesome little car, I've surprised several guys on bikes and in performance imports through the twisties in it :D

The look on their face when they find out they've been beaten by a carby 1600 powered Colt is hilarious :rofl2:

+1 for pics, sounds incredible!

    • 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 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
