First car i bought, 2002 Kia Rio 5 door (wasn't old enough to drive till 2004 lol), massively stupid sound sytem and black lights in the cabbin were the only mods.

2nd car was R33 GTS-t, currently has the usual bolt onns, had the sound sytem in there for a while, now trying to sell the sytem because i'm over that scene. (still current car)

3rd car is a Maserati 3200gt 3.2 litre V8 twin turbo

4th car (future car) will hopefully be a 360 modena F1 wohooo

First car was a Holden WB one tonner. Was a great car.

Second was a VK calais V8 - worst car I've owned by a mile.

Third was a 97' Corolla as I had to drive a fair way to work and back.

Fourth car is my current R34.

My first car was a 1973 Eb1 Honda civic. 1200c of raw fury, 3/4 of the cylinders worked and it cost dad $250 with 7 months rego. Rebuilt, resprayed, retrimmed and rewired by yours truly, and sold for $450 after 12 motnsh of pizza delivery :blink:

nothing like learning to drive in an overpowered muscle car

that handles like something from 1971

1) 81 GH sigma. Only a 2Lt but it got a 5 speed and better diff ratio than the 2.6 4 speed versions, plus with the rebuild it got at 100k to fix the dead rings it went almost as well as a 2.6 too :P

2) S4 RX7 Sport bought for 8.8k. Basically An NA with turbo brakes, no power options and terrible wheels. It got an s4 turbo engine dropped in it after a year as the NA died. Spent 4k on the engine swap, another 7k or so in maintenance (the entire drive line was eventually replaced) and about 700 bucks on an exhaust....

3) 32 GTSt. Ended up with an rb25 in it. This is the point where mods started to get the better of me. Must have spent close to 40k on it over the years going through different suspension and wheels and turbo kits. Ended up putting it into a wall at Wakefield Park.

4) (current) unregistered S13 track car, bought NA, now turbo

5) (current) registered S13 rolling shell, it'll get the track cars old NA engine.

    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol  
    • -10 is plenty for running to an oil cooler. When you look at oil feeds, like power steering feeds, they're much smaller, and then just a larger hose size to move volume in less pressure. No need for -12. Even on the race cars, like Duncans, and endurance cars, most of them are all running -10 and everything works perfectly fine, temps are under control, and there's no restrictions.
    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
