Damn bro you've had a bit of everything haven't you haha. love the 89 Porsche! what did it set you back?

yeah I like to think so. I am probably a bit older than a few others on the forum though - I bought the Porsche as a gift to myself for my 40th.

The 928's are cheap to buy. Considering that they were around the $150-200k mark when they were new depending on options, they are an absolute bargain at $15-20k now. Earlier models (which are still very nice) can be had for around $10k. The catch of course is VERY expensive repairs and servicing, but if you can do a bit yourself you'll save a heap.

It's not the fastest car I have owned (R36 takes that honour) or the best handling (RX8) but I still get a thrill every time I see it.

At the end of the day I love cars - all cars really. And a mention must be made of the skyline, which has to be the best daily driver I have had.

3rd (Current now off P's) - 2009 Nissan 370Z

Lulz.

I'm jealous! you've been JDM loyal your whole life! Aha i'm the same, turn 21 tomorrow and driven shit boxes my whole time during my p's until now.

Haha, agreed, so sick of driving in for a repair at $1000 a pop on the ADM rare exa and 180 jdm moneypit. I know aftermarket stuff on the 180 is cheap.. But I have no idea how to fix one. The 350GT is sensible, but so much fun. Don't get any attention from the wrong people either ;)

But, yes I'm so lucky. My family is like a freaking Nissan dealer. We currently have 7 Nissans to 6 people.

#1 1978 Series 1 RX7 (extend port goodness)

#4 2002 BMW 530d (Company car #2 while in Germany, 230kph on the autobahn with a full load in the back ah yeah.....)

#5 1996 Mitsubishi Magna TS (Back in Aus....sniff....I want my bimmer back!!!)

#6 2004 BA Falcon XT (it had four wheels and was blue....yay)

#7 2000 Series 8 RX7 (Happy Days at last! V8 bashing in Kalgoorlie, all day long)

#8 2008 Skyline 370GT SP Coupe (I must be getting old)

Dream car: Ferrari F40......my dad bought me a model of one when I was 7 years old and they had just been released. From that day on I knew that I must have one........

    • Hello, sorry for being late to join the discussion, but my clock just died on me.   Ive tried to look at Michaels digital clock repair.docx and it doesnt work maybe the file has expired.   Please let me know if you can re upload it or take some youtube videos to show us how to get the clock installed? thanks
    • I thought that might be the case, thats what I'll start saving for. Thanks for the info 
    • Ps i found the below forum and it seems to be the same scenario Im dealing with. Going to check my ECU coolant temp wire tomorrow    From NICOclub forum: s1 RB25det flooding at start up Thu Apr 11, 2013 7:23 am I am completely lost on this. Car ran perfectly fine when I parked it at the end of the year. I took the engine out and painted the engine bay, and put a fuel cell with an inline walbro 255 instead of the in tank unit I had last year. After reinstalling everything, the engine floods when the fuel pump primes. if i pull the fuel pump fuse it'll start, and as soon as I put the fuse back in it starts running ridiculously rich. I checked the tps voltage, and its fine. Cleaned the maf as it had some dust from sitting on a shelf all winter, fuel pressure is correct while running, but wont fire until there is less than 5psi in the lines. The fuel lines are run correctly. I have found a few threads with the same problem but no actual explanation of what fixed it, the threads just ended. Any help would be appreciated.

I found the problem though. There was a break in one of the ecu coolant temp sensor wires. Once it was repaired it fired right up with no problems. I would have never thought a non working coolant temp sensor would have caused such an issue.
    • Hi sorry late reply I didnt get a chance to take any pics (my mechanics on the other side of the city) but the plugs were fouled from being too rich. I noticed the MAF wasn't genuine, so I replaced it with a genuine green label unit. I also swapped in a different ignitor, but the issue remains. I've narrowed it down a bit now: - If I unplug and reconnect the fuel lines and install fresh spark plugs, the car starts right up and runs perfectly. Took it around the block with no issues - As soon as I shut it off and try to restart, it won't start again - Fuel pressure while cranking is steady around 40 psi, injectors have good spray, return line is clear, and the FPR vacuum is working. It just seems like it's getting flooded after the first start I unplugged coolant sensors to see if its related to ECU flooding but that didnt make a difference. Im thinking its related to this because this issue only started happening after fixing coolant leaks and replacing the bottom part of the stock manifolds coolant pipe. My mechanic took off the inlet to get to get to do these repairs. My mechanics actually just an old mate who's retired now so ill be taking it to a different mechanic who i know has exp with RBs to see if they find anything. If you have any ideas please send em lll give it a try. Ive tried other things like swapping the injectors, fuel rail, different fuel pressure regs, different ignitor, spark plugs, comp test and MAF but the same issue persists.
    • My return flow is custom and puts the return behind the reo, instead of at the bottom. All my core is in the air flow, rather than losing some of it up behind the reo. I realise that the core really acts more as a spiky heatsink than as a constant rate heat exchanger, and that therefore size is important.... but mine fits everything I needed and wanted without having to cut anything, and that's worth something too. And there won't be a hot patch of core up behind the reo after every hit, releasing heat back into the intake air.
