5K? buy an S13. If he wants reliable maybe direct him to a Cressida. RWD, not bad looks, relatively fun to drive, and reliable as f**k... until you start modding it.

Later down the track he can chuck a 1JZ in, lock the diff and rip some skids for the 'tarded kids.

their all shit

buy a c210/c110 :P

jokes aside, what about a hilux? the petrol ones never die.

our ute hasnt had a service in 5 years. all i do is top up the oil and water, fill it with petrol and its good to go

7M's blow headgaskets as often as they need an oil change (maybe slight exaggeration but close.) Not the most reliable in that respect :laugh:

driving home last night massive ass puddle (pretty f**king deep) and taking up my whole lane but didnt see it cause f**ker coming from the other side had his higbeams on. after flashing him like crazy (lol) he didnt dip his high beam so slowed to 60 then went on to slow some more and then BANG. hit the puddle shat myself and quickily pulled to the wrong side to go around it. car started to sputter and stalled :)

pulled over and airbox full of water WTF. emptied it and babied it home then dried the AFM and filter

GAY

i also hate mondays

dunno bout you, but the 7m we had did 400,000km's without blowing a gasket. only reason it came out was cos my cuz went for a 1JZ swap. did blow an alternator, starter motor, and water pump tho. Just service it regularly and don't sit on the limiter all the time n she'll be fine.

The car was a hand me down from my old man, and then from me to my cousin. Who then wrote it off. Idiot.

What's a decent car for under $2k? Something I won't have to service or give a f*ck about. I only need it to last one year then it goes off to the wreckers :)

an old civic, camry or a commodore?

    • Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..
    • I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies. 
    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
