Got a few pm's asking if I fell off the planet.

Still here, and just picked this girl up last Sunday after Motorvation. :D

'00 FD 13BTT.

Not the most suitable car when you just start double or nothing but lol.

Niiiiiiiice

I'd have one but I'm scared of their engines

Cheers. Don't be. Like anything it depends how you treat it. The oil is half the price, easier to service (4 spark plugs under the car without needing to pull things a part to get to it.) And it's actually better than my R33 on fuel (until I start giving it some top end runs because this thing just doesnt run out of puff. :D). Sure it'll probably need a rebuild around 120,000. But hey, just an excuse to Bridgeport it. :bunny:

I always saw myself as a 34 GTR man but I fell in love with everything above plus the doors, race style interior/cockpit, and that sweet sweet rotor sound in the higher rev range.

Thanks Mandy. haha yeah I'm a bit of a maintainence freak. Gave it a 1.5 hr clean & wax today and covered up all the swirls, and already started mixing 2 stroke in the fuel. It's definitely like learning cars all over again but.

Hot As!

Where from?

Mods?

PM price please

is sex!

Thanks, was a private sale. Last owner had it for 6 months but he has to bail over east. Was originally a Fabcar so it's in top knick.

It's got a Nardi Torino wheel, turbo back exhaust and BOV. It's pretty damn quick but. It's sitting on Rays Gram Lights. I don't like them but so if anyone wants to buy them let me know. :D

oh and a 7"eclipse deck with GPS that's only good for spitting cd's out and thats about it. lol.

price, was good. lol.

cant wait to see this around Rocky

Thanks guys. :bunny:

Pal, I'm sure you'll see it a lot as I moved back to Rockingham today and it's my daily until I fix the R33 4 door. Don't suppose you have a spare AFM I could borrow buy any chance to check if that's what's wrong? I gave it a clean coz it was idling rough and stalling at low rpm after I put the stock ECU back in with contact cleaner. then I think it made it die completely. :D

I get just over 400km's to a tank. (76Litres). That's normal driving. When you make use of the TT you can watch the fuel gauge drop. :D I've been driving it pretty conservatively but due to being on double or nothing and my daily is out of order atm.

cheers. :D If anyone knows where to get FD intercooler and radiator CORES only do let me know. I've searched high and low and can only find kits. I'm going for a custom V-mount setup. :)

      Chatting one someone recently at racing them at QR. They say you can't take turn 2 in one flat stick in 4th. They don't have the torque to pull them selves straight, so make sure you're ringing it's neck out in 3rd instead

      Should you buy cheap Chinese tyres?

      By MBS206 · Posted

      Many years ago when I bought my FG XR6T, it came with bald tyres on the back (think pretty much smooth for most of the tread) and brand new Kinforest cheap shit tyres on the front. In the rain, I had more grip in the bald ass tyres on the back, than the brand new Kinforest. To the point you couldn't drive off at a set of lights and turn the corner. Car would only go straight. Very quickly all four tyres were replaced.   A few years back on a VF SV6 I had, it came with brand new chineesium tyres. In the wet at 90kmh, old 1990s tray back tradie utes could corner faster than me. There was one corner on a freeway, in a 90 zone, it's not even marked to reduce speed for those curve, it's not a hard corner, I could put the LandCruiser on mud tyres through with ease (it would easily do the corner in the wet I reckon at 120kmh), the VF however couldn't get through it at 80, as it would want to slide out.   Cheap tyres aren't worth the risk. I like decent brakes, and decent grip.

      Anyone here a submersible fuel hose expert? I pulled my hanger out again for unrelated issues and noticed the hose I popped on last week has already swollen. This is Gates 27093 submersible hose. I've waiting on a response from Gates, but this surely can't be normal? This is on pump gas, not E85.  Is swelling a tad possibly normal? I've also been fighting with my power steering belt.... I've now tossed one and killed two. I just realigned my pulleys again, hoping this time it stays on. It doesn't like high rpm.

      Don't want to side track from the thread too much (don't want to upset the thread starter's run from 2007) so here's some old rusted Nissan Laurels in a parking lot in Nishinomiya, Hyogo-ken:
