Given your bro drives a hyudai excel and is selecting his next car based on age then I would not bother trying anymore if I were you. He sounds like one of many people that dont know shit about cars and never will.

This sack of shit is a 2008... he will love it!

I would have given up aaages ago :banana:

i'd be going the aussie built heap because a 10k r34 is likely to be nasty, where as you will find a clean vx for well under 10 leaving money for other things.

A 10k Automatic Non Turbo Sedan R34 is right on the mark.

i got my R34 AUTO N/A COUPE for 10.5k and its clean...coupe of small scratches, thats it.

Had a stateroads pre-purchase check done also, report was good.

So i would imagine you could get a very good condition r34 auto sedan for 10k

There is an R31 GTS with a t3 and supporting hardware, forgies etc for $12500. Seeing as he has just got his licence he would probably kill himself, but it sort of sounds as if you dont really like him anyway so try and talk him into it.

But really, there is one for sale, looks nice too.

Doubt that would interest him., is it for sale in here?

Brother in law just got of his P plates and has about 10k to buy a car, he seems pretty set on a lancer but i reckon there has to be something better......I may be wrong, but there just too girly to me

So throw some opinions at me, ideally post 2000 and under 100,000kms

S14 with an SR20. Good basic performance. Bit older though.

just an idea..

bzr ae111 toyota levin? havent checked prices lately but they were around the 12mark about 3 years ago.. pretty sure they made them up to 2001... 1.6l blacktop motor, 6 speed box, unique, looks good, lots of parts and will run to 8800rpm all day everyday..

Sounds cool to me :)

Ive kinda come to the realization that what we consider cool, is not what he considers cool..

Another friend just sold his clean vy commy to buy a barina for fux sake he is 6 foot 4, but it seems fuel economy is more important than being able to fit in your car ,f**k if your that broke you need a better job not a smaller car

I swear real car lovers are a dying breed

I must say close to 5l/100km fuel figures would be nice just know my GTT won't even get close i'll be happy if i get around 10/100 although thats what i use to get in my n/a s13 so that is unlikely

Yeah but my point is i couldnt care what my fuel costs if i get enjoyment from the drive, it is all worth it

I speak to many people these days that want to have a cool car, but dont actually enjoy driving

If you dont enjoy driving fine, f**k off and buy ya barina and dont pretend to care about cars

Haha it's true i don't see how people can't enjoy driving but that's just how i am it's great fun especially now that i finally have boost to play with its even better can't wait for my first cruise in the new car.

Does your brother want a quickish car that doesn't use lots of fuel? If so i'd probably go with VTEC honda's. 10k for turbo cars will be getting you some old ass cars generally although might get a later model r33 or s14a if lucky although low k's would be unlikely

i fully agree with this, my cousin brought a r33 gts-t and then sold it after a year cos he complained it used to much petrol, and in that time he never ever played with it like only once in that year i saw him give it a bit of accelerator and once he got to 120 he stopped..

he then sold it and now he drives his gf's falcon on gas, and he brags bout how it was the best life decision he made cos he saves so much money on fuel...and then bags me for want a jap car cos theyre 'expensive and not worth it' to him

and there was this other guy down the road who traded his supra in for a astra...

dickheads these days

    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
