My first taste of boost was in a S13 180sx that did 14.1 1/4 mile times. I loved it. Made me make the desision to buy my GTS-t.

Its funny when someone has there first ride in a quick jap car. I find that if you take someone for a ride and their past fastest car experiance is "Their uncles 95 SS Commodore" then you can really make them go quiet.

Or even better you can let them drive it on a cold night and then when they get out the car tell them to hold there hand still. Its so funny when you can see their hands (knees too sometimes) shakeing from the adrenalin rush.

My first taste of boost was in my car the day I test drove it, a r33 gtst boost was wound up to something stupid like 16 pound for a stock turbo, and my mate drove it first he is a mechanic for mercedes got it side ways round the first corner we got to, sold me the car straight away :)

I had no idea about turbos or anything i was like WTF is that noise lol me a noob

Could never live without it now

i think mine was in my mates Toyota Celica 1980 sedan metalic black with nice chrome simmons mags with a 3T-GTE 1.8L twin spark running 12psi.. i was 14 and it felt bloody quick. i think it ran a 13.5. now i'm a proud owner of a 4WD skyline :)

Mine was in a mates dad's Porsche 944 Turbo... Im 14 at a mates place and he says, " you know how to drive a manual dont you ?" Next thing we are driving down Spit road in a new 944 doing like 120km....Dumb things I did.

Drove around for about 2 hours and then put the car back. No damage and the dad never knew...I learnt that these cars have very small gates in their shifts. I kept going 1st, 2nd, 5th...doh

Fastest was a 10sec 13B RX4...wow I will always have respect for rotors.

heheh mine was in a 90 toyota surf ssr turbo diesel, slow as buggery.. then the turbo kicked in... still slow as buggery :(

I diddent get the proper taste until I bought my 300zx TT, a friend let me drive one of his R32 Gtst's, and I can get my v-spec gtr when plates are available

    • 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.  
    • 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?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
