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

    • To back this up, I'm always looking on the outside, seeing the level, and then opening it up anyway, as I'm worried the level I've looked at, is more so a scunge line. Then you end up dipping your damn finger in it too depending on the type of tank you're looking at just to make sure I'm not going insane.   PS, Mark, polish up the none moroso one a bit and then give it a clear coat. The Moroso one looks to be way shiner (not mirror polished, just shinier) and it'll still look weird with the two different alloys beside each other. Either that, or Id probably paint them a flat black...
    • Good old Orange Park hey... 😛   f**k I miss that race track
    • lo, it was a death trap. Good times. Got any Fatz Drift Day DVDs still available?
    • Yes, overthinking. Many PS reserviors are completely opaque. Our Skyline ones, for example. Have to remove lid, peak inside, swirl the dipstick, try to remember how to read it, etc etc. Normal. Radiator overflows are often sufficiently opaque and scunged up that you can't see the true level inside anyway, and have to open and have a peak. Besides which, I replaced the (massively expensive, even back then) plastic overflow in my Alfa GTV, back in the '90s with a stainless one that I had a good fabricator make up to be dimensionally same-same, that looks remarkably similar to the Bogan's Moroso one above, and I never suffered any particular paranoia that I didn't know how much coolant was in it.
    • Looks great, but I'm always concerned that it makes it difficult to see what level the fluids are at. Am I overthinking this?
