By your comments, I'm guessing Daddy bought your car, Daddy is paying for the insurance, and Daddy gave you $5 thousand to squander for passing year twelve or something.

$5 thousand, I would go and study overseas, I would pay off some university debt, and I would definatley spend some of it on driver training. I know you probably won't listen to this, but I hope you remember the advice you didn't listen to on this site as your car drives away on the back of a tow truck. Won't happen to you? whatever.

And I am being nice.

$5K will never buy respect brotha.

anyhow.. all be nice children!

Just some nice rims and a good bodykit for now should make it look good. Maybe spend a grand or two on the stereo and make it sound good. Good exhaust system. Don't worry about the performance items until you have actually driven the car regularly.

RB boy. How old are you?? Are you still at High school? And If you are not 1. why don't you have a job, or 2. Why are you not studying? How about you go out and earn $500 just to see how hard it is to earn, then you might have a little more respect for that $5 thousand, and you might spend it a little more wisely.

Have you ever even had a day job?

I've just had another brilliant idea. Why don't you spend that money on a VL commodore. Use the 33 for driving hot laps of the city so all the ladies can be in awe of your pimpness, and use the VL for all your actual driving until you crash it. Lets face it everyone does the dumbest stuff in their first car, and most VL's end up crashed anyway. Then, hopefully by the time you crash the VL you'll have some driving skills. Then drive the 33.

Ok.. I'm trying to be nice here...

1) Change your signature!! It does not make you sound cool, it provides people perception that you are just another reckless hoon.

2) Dude.. I aint australian, even I cant understand what in the hell you are talking about half of the time.. see quote.. Perhaps this is the reason why people are telling you to goto uni?

As to your 5k, I would suggest you to take a driving defense course tho havent done it myself. However I didnt not start with a powerfull car (I started with a 4 cyc and drove that slowwwww... car for 4 years).

The following is what I would recommend.

1) defensive driving course

2) front pipe to match the cat back exhause (as I am assuming that is that u have atm)

3) Another nice sets of rims (can never have too many rims. :) )

4) Nice set of coilovers

5) EBC

These are the orders that I would recommend however not all people would agree or would accept it.. the choice is yours. :) There is no reason not to have fun but within limits. Dont be another idiots that give all young drivers a bad name and reputation.

PS. Seriously change your bloody signature, if you want people to take you seriously and not a stupid reckless kid :D

Settle boy settle... give the dude some time to process all the response. :)

What the dude do for a living is non of our concern. He may well have a rich parent, in which case good on him. As to the VL part.. be nice.. :D Not all VL's ended up crashed, its not to say that I have ever had one or even consider having one.. :)

Alex,

It's a serious suggestion about the VL. Buy something cheap that you can bash up and not really care about that much till you learn how to drive was my point. And I am trying so hard to be nice. :angel:

edit: The only remotley narky thing that I put in there was the day job comment. I'll wait for a relpy. Why do you have to quote my rants Alex? Cut it out man.

Serious, somthing a little "sporty" (read has a nice note) somthing 3 or 4 cyl, and under 2.0lt. Yet somthing "newish" and isnt going to cost lost of money to fix if somthing buggers up.

GTI Swift

Lancer

Baleno

an so forth, any little hatch back.. they are cheap enough, cheap to run, some newer ones look ok... have good resale, some are "nippy"

I agree with Nismo_Boy a VL aint cheap to run. :D a mantiz.. cheap as chips. :)

As to the quote.. I'm slow on replyin all the time (cause I try not to project the wrong impression).. so quoting is the easiest way without confusing people.. or so I thought... confused yet? :D

Ok this is the last time I'm quoting you.. Mr grumpy.. hehehe :)

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.

      R33 GTR running -9 with no tune

      By Duncan · Posted

      Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.

      Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it

      Coolant leak?

      By Duncan · Posted

      Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
