Don't buy unrego'd bunkies.. Srsly. You'll end up sinking sooooo much into them. Also avoid cars that say needs new radiator = been running hot = head gasket.

Plus pit fees every time you go.. $75-85. Then 6 months rego $250-300... + Repairs etc.

I hate AE92 corollas... Bought one with 220km and I got all of 60kms out of it before I got a blown head gasket -_-

Thats an XSpeed mechanic's car. Should be a good one..

edit: 89 rolla has 400kms! And has farked radiator = has been running hot.. You'd be crazy...

Micras are cool!

Yeah was a bit worried that it would be hard to pass the car ... but the Galant looks like its been well checked up and everything so I thought I'd give that a go ..

is the AE92 Corolla the same as the 89 Rolla I was looking at?

haha yeah looked at a couple of r31 skylines, i like em but their all auto! I'd prefer a manual car really

Oh god, maybe ill stretch the budget to about 1200 for a nicer car with rego ..

or maybe ill lower my standards and get something like a hyundai excel ... which isnt quite as cool as the rollas :(

The pulsars seem to be alright too!

Check out the skyline for sure- My first car was a vl commodore and the rb30 which is in both of those cars is an excellent engine to work on. Heaps of room in the engine bay, and quite decent on power and fuel to start off with. Having said that, my dad had owned one before hand and he was the one who taught me (still does) how to work on cars. IMO its a great base to start with,

In my experience the excel is very hit and miss- a mate had one that did 300,000kms and was still kicking on original engine and box. (did a clutch, but ffs that is awesome for a pissy sized car)

Another mate of mines sister owned one, and destroyed basically every suspension component you could think of and its gearbox went at something like 160k. Thats without considering all the interior which fell apart like you wouldnt believe on both haha.

pulsars a pretty good deal at 700 bucks with rego!

Cannabis you're real lucky your dad could teach you all those things!

Hahaha James good luck with the micra!

We should have a gathering of all our shoddy lil bunkies someday hahaha

I'll have to check out those pulsars, the reviews seem to be quite good

Yeah for 300 bucks Its quite a good deal

That half a tank would probably be worth a good 10% of the price ;)

      I have more than enough digging, laying blocks, moving gravel, airrating, feeding and top soiling the grass, and setting up the veggie gardens growing some seedlings,  and then removing all the unused rock to keep me busy for the next few months at least,  hopefully the rain stops soon so I can get a few hours in this arvo, but, before that Sunday is washing day, is every body happy, you bet your life we are Nice country road day drives are a day off whenever I'm muscle sore from all the landscaping at the moment, but, more epic multiple day drives will start once the majority of the big jobs outside are completed

      Recommendation for engine oil funnel spill free

      By MBS206 · Posted

      I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.

      Fuel Pump Control Module & Dropping Resistor

      By EndZee · Posted

      Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
