I found this topic in another section and thought i'd bring it here and see what you guys have owned in your life! I will start-

My first car was a '97 single cab hilux. Had a gearbox that was looser than a prositute with 400xxx km (and still didn't die) that i drove around the property and started with it on my L's but it was terribly embarassing driving it to school so my 2nd car..

My 2nd car was a slightly newer, 2 door Suzuki Vitara that was given to me when i got my red P's. Had 300xxx km and was an absolute pile of shit. Nothing ever worked in it, i usually feared for my life in daily. It would regularly stall for no aparent reason.

My 3rd car was a 93 (i think) VR commodore, odometer stopped working at 247xxx km. Had major problems with it, bought it off a family friend for $500 that claimed it had a "reconditioned engine"- I put a fully sick $1000 fusion sound system in it back when i was about half way through my red's thinking i was awesome. Now that i think about it, f*ck i was a cool commy driver... no it didn't have any UNIT or LOOSEKID stickers on it. But there was a FUSION sticker on it..

Bought my '03 V35 350GT coupe 6 months ago from Brisbane with 78,000km on the clock. Was completely stock, had a compression rod bush worn but that's all i could fault it with. Car now has 89,000km on it going strong. Love it, best buying decision i've ever made (obviously)

Sounds like my old pommy neighbour, he used to buy beat up shitboxes from the wreckers/auctions and fix them up a bit then flog them off to some poor bastard. Haha.

Started off with a 71' LC Torana, 4 door 1800cc.

Then moved onto the R31, series 2 4 door.

Then my first import was an R33 GTS25T coupe'.

And currently I have the V35 GT8.

Bit of a pattern forming with the last 3 cars.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      By Haggerty · Posted

      @GTSBoy This method was able to get readings of -10 to -2, so it looks like its monitoring.  Now I need to figure out why the vacuum on the line provided isn't alternating with manifold pressure.  I went with 2 lines that an RB25 tuner recommended but I'll get a longer hose and try directly off the back of the manifold.  He may have been used to OEM intake setups while I have a DBW setup that removed the MAF and IACV.

      I work at a car detailing and tinting shop called Quark which gets all manner of German cars in usually (mainly due to a contract with Mercedes Benz Kita Osaka, BMW Nishinomiya and others) but every once in a while something special comes in, like a fully restored 1972 HS30 Nissan Fairlady 240ZG... The shop owner had immediately started applying film to the windows as soon as it was in the shop so the interior was completely covered in towels and plastic sheets. But I could get a few photos of the engine bay which was restored like new. Such an amazing car to see in pristine condition in Japan these days.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Was going to say the car pulls up nicely everywhere, especially going into that last long right hander before the main straight. Looks like a lot of fun.

      Noobie Stagea owner..

      By Turbodoc · Posted

      Hey Dave, welcome aboard! Good to see another soon-to-be Stagea owner here. The wagons are awesome — plenty of space, still got that Skyline DNA, and loads of potential if you’re into mods. Definitely post up pics when you get it, everyone here loves seeing new builds. What model/year are you looking at?
