lol no way im spending that much money on a car and getting 3rd party

i'll see how much insurance on an S15 will be cause theres one for sale in SA at the moment that looks smick for 32 or something.

dude, i'm going to solve alllllll your problems. If you want to spend $45K, get a R33 GTR VSpec and look yourself up a company called 'Prosperion' - When i was 19 a few months ago insurance would cost me $1600 p/a. I'm 20 now, but it's still the same. Full Comp. They are more than just insurance but as long as you've got a job that isn't at ANZ (which is my prob, but i'm getting around that) you can get an f*cking car you want!!! No more of this mini madness!! I can get ur ass in an E36 M3 if ya want to!

Don't spend $45K. Get a R34 GT-T, you can get those for less than $30K now imported, like $27-28K - Cheap insurance, newish car and step to the almighty R later!!

ooh yeah, duff man!!

well the catch is that you have to finance the whole car running costs with them. They budget out what you think u'll spend for the whole year, than divide it by 12 or 52, i forget. So with some things you are paying before you normally would, say your tyre allowance, but other things like insurance, have been chopped up nicely for u so u don't have to pay in one big chunk. U get a shell petrol card with a discount, and i think can only go to shell. But in the end, throwing all ur running costs together makes it cheaper overall. www.prosperion.com.au - i've gotta give em a call again, just to double check on everything, cos it's starting to look like R34 GT-T time again, 99% sure.

oh, should have mentioned, car can't be over 8 years old. As much as i know about them, that's the catch! :P That's why i said R34 or R33 VSpec.... ooo oooo, or .............. now you can't disagree with this next one....

........

ready..

......

Series 8 RX-7!!!!!!!! Mid $30K's now, about the only good thing to come from SEVS. PURE SEX!!!!!

i reckon, if you give these guys a call, and there aren't any problems (my prob was cos i worked at ANZ) don't worry about S15's or R34's - Either go 'R' or S8 RX-7 - THE sexiest car on the road bar none! Imagine one of those lowered with 18's! :drooling: Talking, 1999 cars, or newer, and mid to high $30K's - tasty!! :P

    • Can't you put the pistons to TDC and then do the valve seals? Or will the drop down too far to pull them back up?
    • One thing I can tell you is, do it properly the first time. If you encounter unexpected problems just let the car sit for a week or two if you have to get some other parts or figure stuff out.  I'd have said go and use as many OEM parts as possible but since you want to change the turbo later on a custom kit is probably the better choice. Since I have no experience with RB25 just compare parts diagrams and images before buying a line kit and it should be easy to see if it has everything you need. Amayama has very good parts diagrams and part number lists, that is what I used a bunch to figure out what I might need. And don't forget to plan ahead and possibly renew other stuff that's easy to get to while you're in there doing the turbo lines. Happy wrenching
    • Update 4:   Hi all, good news. Engine is running and all the gaskets and seals seem to be working as intended. No leaks so far, even the JB Weld seems to hold. I flushed out the old coolant a few times and put in fresh coolant, not Nissan stuff, I decided to try the Ravenol Protect FL22, they claim it works for a wide variety of JDM cars and the opinions on it by some people were pretty good. And it has the nice poison green color! And man am I glad I bought a coolant system tester earlier this year, vacuum filling works wonders on this engine. I can definitely recommend this to anyone still doing it the old school way. All you need is compressed air supply. Will have to do a small test drive as soon as I can, I removed the gauge cluster again as the tacho needle was still bouncing around a bit but it was much better than before already.  I also found some cracks on all 4 tires inner and outer sidewalls. Apparently these tires should 't be parked on for extended periods or be kept under 0 degrees during storage, which I did not know. Clearly the previous owner didn't look into those details either, he probably bought them just cause they are cool semi-slicks. I'm just wondering how tf I am supposed to reach 30-80 degree tire temperatures on the public road consistenly, these tires were never going to work for my use case. I'll probably order Continental SportContact7 ones as these are the best allround summer tire available right now and I don't think I'll need anything crazier for now. Do let me know if you have experience with various tires and which ones you recommend.
    • You have no idea how many goddamn boxes I received these past three months haha Most have been put to use by now though, luckily
    • Not going to pretend I didn't do a bit of junky work this time around, but mostly due to the fact that some things I am not willing to spend days fixing right now, like wiring. I try to do most things properly the first time around.
