Hi All,

Over the past 15+ years since I obtained my drivers licence, it has always been on my mind just how many vehicles I have owned - hence I compiled the below list. To be honest, this is nothing to be proud of, however, it still puts a smile on my dial knowing the variety I have had (I could use a similar analogy with former girlfriends but I don’t want to be derogatory). I’m sure I’ve left out a few cars...hmmm...

Anyway, I thought this would be worth sharing & I’d like to see what other members have owned in the past, is anyone out there as silly as me :)

1. Fiat 124 BC

2. Holden Camira JD

3. Holden Gemini TE

4. Holden Camira JE

5. Suzuki 600cc (can’t remember the model)

6. Subaru Sherpa

7. Datsun 1600 with FJ20 Turbo

8. Holden VN Commodore X-chaser

9. Daihatsu Charade Turbo

10. Nissan Exa Turbo

11. Holden VL Commodore Turbo

I'm happy that I keep my cars for a long time :-)

i went through 3 of them, so many 13inch rim burnouts

3.subaru something,

leone I think just a shitter drove it till the engine blew

Some very eclectic lists, here's mine;

License 20 years;

Triumph 2500s; First car, not recommended for P platers. Timber panelling & electric overdrive. All cabin wiring in white with a black trace; EVERY WIRE. God I hate English cars.:thumbsup:

Datsun 200B SSS; Came with sunroof & factory fitted rust.

Pulsar ET Turbo; High flow , 2 1/2" exh & backyard intercooler & blowoff set up. Killed by a 4WD in the rear.

Datsun 180B SSS; 6 point cage, Konis, L20 with 45mm webbers, 5 speed 3.9 r180 LSD.

86 Corona Wagon; Stock as a rock. Killed by a drunk driver.

VR V6 Ute; Full system, lowered, LSD, 16x8 ASA 5 spokes.

86 R31 Wagon; Loved this one. R32 GTR brakes, R33 rack, Konis, lowered, swaybars, roll centre adjusters, camber/caster plates, every bush replaced, 5 Speed conversion, LSD, Series 3 front end conversion, full respray twice, due to accident damage, 17x7 lensos, then black 17x8 17x9 drift teks.

Mazda Protege; Stock as a rock

NM35 Stagea; work in progress...

Bikes came along around the same time as the VR Ute.

86 Yamaha TT250

Suzuki Across 250

Honda CBR 250RR

98 Suzuki GSXR750

01 Honda CBR 929RR

06 Suzuki GSXR 1000

About a bazillion MTBs.

Not a huge list, at one time I owned 4 of the cars at the same time and one bike. The R31 was on staff for nearly 10 years, was written off twice (not at fault) bought back & rebuilt. Don't regret a single one; they all taught me something different.

Still own the Mazda, Stagea & GSXR 1000.

Edited by Daleo

Lots of ET Turbos I see

They're brilliant! Bright blue interior, novelty boost gauge, rubber spoilers; they had it all. The height of Eighties garishness :thumbsup:

Made of tissue paper; but brilliant.:whistling:

Had my licence for 5 years got blacks at the end of 2009 so all these cars are just since September 2009

- s13 Silvia 248rwkws bought for $4800 from carcity (great find kick myself everyday since I sold it)

- r32 gtst 220rwkws blew the motor within a week sold it a month later lost $3000 on it

- r33 gtst great condition had small accident got fixed then it had turbo problems was owned for 6months only had it at my house for 2 months of that the rest of the time it was in the shop lost more than $6000 on it

- r32 gtst engine stock standard, great car got 100000km service a month after I got it put a new exhaust and spent time sourcing all the parts to put the interior back to stock sold it after 11months and didn't lose a cent on it. First car that I started servicing myself

- s14 200sx 198rwkw had for 2 months spent $3000 on engine mods wrapped it round a pole 2 weeks later lost easily $6000 on it

- s15 200sx bought 2 months ago totally stock changed the catback and bought the Silvia s15 leather steering wheel,

Still going strong and trying hard to resist spending money on mods

Haven't had great luck

10 4 - you're on a good roll, 18 cars @ the age of 19!

ARTZ - i hear you about the 'mid life crisis harley'...that has been on my mind since i sold my last bike - i would only consider the nightrod though as it is a performance bike.

there are some good old school cars here, pulsar ET, cordia & off course my dato 1600 which i greatly miss! that had an fj20t which i converted built in 1998, owned it for less than a year & was stolen with a tow truck as i removed the timing chain the day before to replace it (luckily i found it again & sold it quick smart). it simply was not the same car

    • That's kind of what I was getting at saying you'd be here soon regarding length etc being able to add additional restriction.  My assumption (possible donkeys of you and mption) is that the length of hose to an oil cooler, and back, isn't going to be that huge of a loss. Typically you're talking about 1.5m of total length. And so far everyone in our world hasn't had issues with oil not being able to get to a cooler and back, it's more been, how the heck do we get the oil out of the head and back down to the bottom? I'd nearly hazard a guess the biggest issue people have with oil cooling and oil supply, is being able to get the heat out at the cooler itself (not enough air flow, too small of a cooler etc) Also, when people mount them wrong and make really awesome air traps so they've dramatically diminished the cooling capacity.
    • I will rebutt this and the preceding point from Dose....but without doing any calcs to demonstrate anything and without knowing that I am right or wrong. But... The flow capacity of a fluid transfer system is not limited by the smallest orifice or section of conduit in that system, unless it is drastically smaller than the rest of the system. OK, I use the word drastically perhaps with too much emphasis, but let's drill down on what I really mean. The flow capacity of the system is the result of the sum of the restrictions of the entire system. So, to make an extreme example, if you have a network with 3" pipe everywhere (and let's say a total length of only a few metres) and that 12mm ID restriction of the oil filter connection being the obvious restriction, then for any given amount of pressure available, the vast majority of all the pressure drop in the system is going to occur in the 12mm restriction. But.... increase the length of the 3" pipeline to, say 1000m, and suddenly the pipe pressure loss will likely add up to either be in the same order of magnitude, possibly even exceeding that of the 12mm restriction. Now the 12mm restriction starts to matter less. Translate this to the actual engine, actual oil cooler hose sizing, etc etc, and perhaps: The pressure loss caused by flowing through the narrow section (being the 12mm oil filter port, and perhaps any internal engine oil flow pathways associated with it) is a certain number. The pressure loss through, say, -12 hoses out to the cooler and back is negligible, but The pressure loss through -10 hoses out to the cooler, at the exact same length as the above, starts to become a decent fraction of the loss through the 12mm stuff at the filter port. Maybe even it starts to exceed it. I could actually do these calcs if I knew 1) how much oil was actually flowing in the line, 2) gave enough of a f**k to do things that I hate doing for work, voluntarily for a hypothetical discussion. Anyway - I reiterate. It's not the narrowest port that necessarily determines how much it can all flow. It is the sum. A long enough length of seemingly fat enough pipe can still cause more loss than a semmingly dominant small bore restriction.
    • To pick up what Dose is putting down. Not a lot of point running a huge hose if the motor is still restricted to the smaller size... It's only capable of flowing so much at that point...   *Waits for GTSBoy to come in and bring in the technicalities of length of pipe, and additional restriction from wall friction etc etc*
    • Hooley Dooley these things have some history! If i sell them they will need a certificate of providence to prove they have been in the hands of verified RB20 royalty! They have been stored in a plastic tub, away from sunlight and moisture. They are in mint condition. And they will stay that way, as i have sprung the money for a set of shockworks coilovers. I'm just working on getting them in at the moment, after rebushing the rear of the car, and while the subframe was out i welded in the GKtech reinforcement bracing as well.  They will get a workout at Ararat King of The Hill in November. I ran 48s on the short course there a few months ago, and i am hoping with new bushes and shocks in the rear i can launch a bit harder. There was a fair bit of axle tramp when i tried too hard off the line. a few of the corners had dips mid way which also made the car feel a bit unsettled, hopefully this will help there too.
