Jonno, looks quite decent! Haha! Yeah, wreckers ahoy... Now coilies and rims :P

Drop clutch to see if rwd lol?

cannibal, cosmetic work like bonnet and bumper are black, vs blue car and both are dented from some sort of impact, both front door trims are gone, front seats are bucket, drivers torn, tight as f**k - not daily spec and when you turn while parking, steering wheel doesnt go back straight... Tiny little oil leak that I'm not worried about.

ahh decisions decisions.. :P

Lol yea, I can picture me driving along and bits falling off it... We need the topgear cobbled pavestones lol.

Sweet as on rwd! I want an AE86 so bad, but they command so much money.... Saw a supercharged one tonight in the right panda colours, just missing Fujiwara Tofu Shop on the side =/

congratulations but its FWD..

Me and my mates used to have bomb races, I had an 82 leone, piad 900, there was a 81 honda civic he paid 800 and a gemini they were all manual and all slow as f**k, we would line em up and see who could hit 100kmph first, it was like real racing in slow motion :laugh:

my old ute had 480 on the clock when I traded it. in its lifetime it went through, 3 sets of tyres, 2 clutches; 3 sets of front brake pads; 1 new head. Plus lots of oil and spark plugs :

i used to flog it pretty hard and carry 1 tonne plus loads,it was still running great when I sold it but was blowing a bit of smoke, may have needed new rings soon but would of cranked out another 50,000kms easy probably more and the suspension bushes and shockies were fairly shot, like driving a tugboat it rocked n rolled around alot ,there is plenty worse cars on the road though . But It felt a bit unsafe to me so i got a new one with airbags :)

This is slightly awkward,

the car is actually a 1986 E80 .. without an immobiliser .. and by WA Laws illegal if this is the case ..

Fail?

The seller said he may take the car back cos he feels bad and advertised it wrong etc

We shall see the outcome ..

Yeah I'll keep my eye out for a rego'd ke70 I do like those cars ..

R31's are nice too but unless its a real good deal their a bit big and since I'm paying for fuel and everything (on a crappy $100 bucks a week salary) ... i'd like something a bit more economical

Will probably keep looking for a good old Corolla or Pulsar or even a Ford Laser

    • You're going to miss not worrying about rust in the strut towers like the Skyline shitboxes out there
    • A few little updates that weren't filmed due to not taking long to do or not interesting enough for their own video. My new K&N Air Filter arrived, I went with an RU-4180 which matched the dimensions of the universal cone filter the car originally had.  The battery had gone flat, while that was charging I tidied up the spaghetti wiring at the bulk head and down the sides of the engine Next job was to swap the stereo The Kenwood harness had the female ISO plugs cut off and the male ISO plugs cut off the adaptor loom and joined with bullet connectors. I ordered in a repair loom through work and re-did it all. New Kenwood unit installed (Android Auto, DAB, Bluetooth, Reverse Camera) The bonnet/hood gas struts have been poor since collecting the car. I couldn't find any suitable replacements locally so took a chance on a pair from AliExpress.  The originals don't use a retaining clip to secure the cup onto the ball fixture, would explain why I struggled for 10-15mins trying to pry off the cups. The ball fixtures unscrew using a 12mm spanner, new ones are the same size. Sadly no photo of them fitted, you're not missing much lol The dished Momo steering wheel got replaced with my Momo Tuner, turns out I ordered counter sunk bolts for the horn trim ring (like they normally are for the steering wheel) instead of allen cap (flat seat)  A terrible photo of a Quaife style gear shift knob I've had stashed in my tool box for many years after purchasing the incorrect thread size (I can see a pattern emerging with ordering incorrect parts...) Also threw in a cup holder and a (empty) Boss Coffee can, because why not  
    • GT-R clearly the better choice! The 300 is certainly not insaly fast but has a decent amount of poke. Does a nice little drift around the corners with a decent amount of throttle. It's VERY predictable in a slide too.  Feels so progressive! People probably presume there's a 25 year old driving it based on my behaviour this week! 🤣
    • Yeah Jap import. Fairlady Z then! I'm a bit the same.  They've been on my radar for a fair while but then just impulsively decided to buy one!  Was going to just buy an NA and add turbos to it later but decided to save the f'ing around and just buy the turbo version. 
    • Thanks mate, well done to you too! Yeah not looking forward to doing any major work to it!
