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?

    • I can get more photos of it here soon and I plan to make a thread detailing the process. I received the car this way and it sorely needs refinishing. That is probably the most appealing photo of it. Up close it is fading, cracked, and needs to be re-glued. Depending on their condition I'm on the fence between refinishing or making a new set.  Another angle hiding the pimples and razor pumps  
    • According to this thread the RS4V with build plate RC40 comes with the R200 diff @ 4.083 ratio as well (mine has said RC40 denotation). We may need to check if the axle stubs are the same pattern as well. The auto subframes have longer axles. However I think yours being a later Series 2 as well, we should have the same bolt pattern for the diff stubs. Unless your upgraded rear also has upgraded axles. Either way, I would not be opposed to pulling the covers to check so I can inspect that  fancy rear core  Also I don't have HICAS. I don't believe that should change things but I hope the people here with heaps more experience than me can correct me if I'm wrong   Let me know if you want to attempt to make this work and I can get some pictures of mine from under the car. 
    • It's not that straightforward. For example I have had this code because my ignitor/power transistor wires were unplugged. It knows something is wrong but has no idea what it means. If you want to actually diagnose this I recommend following the service manual flowchart for code 21. Ohm out the harness, coilpacks, inspect the ECU, etc. And again, it's entirely possible for there to be no problem at all but if you're running a different coilpack it'll trigger the code because it doesn't like what it sees.
    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
