Prefer a ford, families always had fords driven up to 300,000 with no issues. Holden's always have issues from my experience.

Digging the f6 turbos too but I know I'll start modding again.. Need to learn restraints

You're gonna mod anyway man, it's not the car it's the person. Shit there's no need for me to mod my bike and I never thought I would but I'm doing it. And the Skyline was meant to be a daily while I got my other car back on the road (7 year project), 10k later...

I can't help it man it's like domino with the 200, when u do one thing somethig else has to be done to cope, then something else to cope with that etc.. The package that Leigh has is nicely assisting my decisions

Only to an extent.. depends on the car. I have no urge to mod my EA

Hilux is slow but f**k its a beast! Feels bit weird driving a ute that big

Heard the new ford ranger has triton hilux etc covered

True, you have to at least like the vehicle, but Aaron is gonna buy something nice and he'll end up modding it regardless of what it is.

Not saying the EA isn't nice...lol

not if theres going to be a factory warranty on it.. but seeing as leigh had 250 at the wheels stock. thats not bad at all.

i cant remember the last time i've driven my own car and not worried about a copper around the corner.

Probably when you had the Stagea but only once you were off your P's and before all the mods? lol.

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
