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!

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
