400kw wrx owned by Panayioti here in ACT?

If so I know the kid too. His dad owned RH9 lol

ORLY i didn't know that!

The reason for the "Keep the golf" being a bad move, I'm getting Financial pressure plus peer and family pressure to get rid of it.

Can you afford to buy TWO GTR's?

If not you have not seen "Financial Pressure" Yet.

Option B is full retard. You never go full retard. (And not legal)

The only way those ideas would work is if you get it engineered as a n/a. Otherwise you are still in the eyes of the law driving a turbo even if you put a corolla motor in it. Besides, this is retar

Why would you build the 26 while it's out then drop it back in? You'll have been driving a non turbo 25 then you wanna jump straight into a big HP car? You're on your P's for a reason (does unexperien

<-- had turbo car on late P's (goddamn Vic rules mean 4 years on Ps). But it was for occasional weekend use and track days. Still spent more time off the road than on the road.

People can barely make it driving a mildly modded N/A skyline without being hassled. GTR is just jail bait.

Learn what you can from others and about parts and plan what you want and make a budget etc. It'll make your dick go hard thinking about what you could do but think of all the monies you saving.

then just buy a pulsar and youre set for hassle-free, low maintenance P's.

bro, in all honestly, driving a quick turbo car on your p plates is awesome, but when it's your only car, it's the shittest thing ever. ( u need to just drive a quick car occasionally it can't be ur daily - because you are deemed to get caught.

I bought an s15 that looked very cop bate and had 350hp worth of mods in it. I got caught within 3 weeks of owning the car after the turbo dose sound went off whilst I was under the speed limit.

highway patrol have me 500$ worth of fines, driving manual and turbo on ps. (3points in total)

I applied for an exemption, made my work have phone interviews and submit papers to vicroads and everything.

miserably failed, and got threated by vicroads that the modifications on my car where race spec and not street spec. and they had an engineers certificate from two previous owners of the people that owned the car after me.

So I took the matter to court, then I also live in Dubai so I delayed my court case 9 months and went to Dubai. the court went and checked when I will come back from Dubai (when uni starts) and made my court case the day exactly after I come back from Dubai.

went to court. lost obviously, judge made fun of me and considered that I was a university student and I had no records and I never speed and all that so gave me a fine $8 less. yes $8! after waiting 5 hours hearing everyones court case from child molesterers to thieves I had the lamest case.

and now I have no car, and I can't buy any car because every car I sit in I think it's too slow, because I driven and owned quick cars.

- I've also avoided cops more than once when I drove the car, and like one time the cops felt sorry for me because I nearly cried because I had nothing of my license points left and I was going to lose it if they fined me.

so just don't do option A.

buy an autech s15 or like a cool bayside blue coloured r34 with nismo kit, and just trick yourself into thinking your car is quick and has potential. Australian streets are really slow anyway. everywhere is 50, 40 ,60 even 100 is slow for freeways. and speed humps everywhere.

Here's my 2c.

Options A, B and C are all out. If you do any of that stuff, you're setting yourself on a bad path and bad attitude.

Don't start looking at GTRs until you're ~6 months out from your full license. Aim to get one just before or after. In the mean time get something that's a bit track friendly (eg. mx5, Integra) so that you can have some fun and refine your car control. You could spend a little on mods on that temporary car, but remember you wont get any of it back, and its money you wont be able to spend on the GTR. Keep your driving record clean! Otherwise you'll get constant attention from the police, and they wont give you the benefit of the doubt or let you off. So that means don't speed on the streets - that's what the track days are for.

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

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

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

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      S15 Spec R

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
