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.

Also have a 08 cbr600, and before that had an 07 vtr250.

Next I'm hoping will be an R34 GTR

My friends didn't even notice when I changed cars! >_<

Didnt know my brither was on SAU :P To be fair Leif, they were both black nuggets with loud exhausts to the untrained eye :P

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:

1st car 1971 HG GTS Monaro with a worked 350 Chev and 2 Speed Powerglide

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.

    • To be Frank (always liked that name), I reckon this is a better idea. I'm an R32 man from day 1 and the really good surviving examples that are still in stock form should stay that way. Let ye conscience guide you my son 🙂

    • Took a little trip  went to nismo hoping the get my fuel tank hoses and unfortunately they told me they didn’t have stock luckily I was able to go to a Nissan parts store and they were able to order them in for me  then can home and cleaned the tank with some degreaser and fitted the new hoses before putting it back in the car 
    • 100% I’ll hack into the 33. Strap a turbo onto the RB25DE and/or put the 25 head on a 30 block. 33 passed in cos the reserve was too high. I’ll try lowballing it again and negotiate. Aim is to have it landed and on the road for under 15k, then spend the same amount on top in mods.
    • It's generally best practise to run 1x run without VCT enabled, then 1x run enabled till redline. Overlay the two torque graphs and you'll find the desired RPM to turn off VCT. Sometimes, it might be even worthwhile turning off VCT earlier control torque/cylinder pressure and using VCT purely to spool the turbo.
