RX4 coupe buzz box. Ported 13B, sweet sweet sound winding up to 9k frequently. Loved that thing. Sadly, very impractical and hard to find a decent one that hasn't been converted to V8 or absolutely destroyed. Unfortunately i dont have any pics handy as i owned it pre digital camera days.

Looking at your number plates on the wall, I used to have a mate with CDUCTV in NSW. 

I just googled him, brought back some memories.

In an effort to stay on topic, I'm not sure if he regrets selling it.

regret selling my 1995 ae101 apex levin.. only a 4 cyl but quad throttle bodies at 9000rpm sounded sweet.. blew the motor.. sold it off.. bought a 33 gtst.. wish i had just bought a new motor instead.... handled like it was on rails.

This story sounds very similar to a lot of other people here... :1_grinning:

What has surprised me most is how often people with GTRs are approached with straight up cash offers. I've never experienced anything like it before. 

Experienced this a lot with the 200 when it was a stocker. I can remember at least 2 occaisions when notes have been left on the car asking if i want to sell it in addition to always getting hassled at traffic lights about selling it.

 

The gtr doesnt get out that much these days haha

my first N15 SSS. I miss the N13, but probably not worth the effort.

The N15 was in decent condition, mechanically great, didnt have any of the typical issues that others did. Engine was refurbished after it was semi-lunched by the previous owner when I bought it. I bought another N15 with heaps of mods, and while it came with some nice goodies, in hindsight I should have just kept the first one and gone all-out with it instead :(

I too had an N13 pulsar, I treated that car like shit. Poor thing it deserved a better owner. I discover that flat shifting at the redline gave you "extra" revs and made the car faster... for a while and than the bottom end bearings were toast. Rebuilt the engine. Ruined the rest of the car with my idiotic driving after that (never crashed it though, that's why I thought I was Schumacher). smh

It was one just like this;

Oh yes lets go there ! ! ! 

Old school ! : -

1966 HR Holden Premier 186S that was factory fitted with the opal four speed gearbox ( these were supposed to run at Bathurst in the day but the gearboxes didn't make it off the boat in time )

Alfa Romeo 1968 Gulia Sprint GT AM - this was a very rare supercharged model that was fitted out in Europe with all the race fruit for the time.

1948 Ford Anglia Coupe - this one was a light weight racing model and had a hand built all aluminum body.

And now I must got and punch myself in the head yet again for selling them ! ! !

    • sold listed as a Tomei LSD 1.5 Way For 1998+ Nissan Skyline ER34 25GT RB25DE w/Open R200 https://www.ebay.com/itm/174006114594?campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=&mkrid=711-53200-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms=&campid=5338967980&mkevt=1&mkcid=1&toolid=10050&customid=71883f2ccc571356e0a757bc7adfdde2&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&loc_physical_ms=108689&loc_interest_ms= it went in like butter all gears, alignment, back lash etc, rotation and clearances correct, and if rolling all rotates smooth and free when coasting down road , clutch in or out over 10 mph smooth... its the binding, clunking and jerking from a stop that is most concerning, also seems like its going to tear the tires off in 10 miles of normal road driving. 
    • What 1.5 way? There's no such thing really as a 1.5 way, just different ways of explaining 2 ways with different ramp rates. HOWEVER. In any driving in a straight line your 1.5 or 2 or 1.7 way should have no clunking at all. With the clutch fully depressed the diff should be silent (unless it's welded but I'm assuming it's not). Something aint right here.
    • Clutch is a spec brand, new clutch system,( PP, flywheel, friction disc, etc. pull type) installed 100 miles ago, with no problems.
    • looking for some help and maybe some insight on others experience with a new LSD. R34 GT ran and drove beautifully, but always alot of grip loss due to the open R200 rear end, so I just installed a new 1.5 LSD way into the stock open R200 for a ER34. Simple. Everything seemed right. I test drove for the first time this weekend. as I started to back out the garage the first time slowly with tires straight it sounded and felt like I had a loose or half disconnected drive shaft...that was clucking around loose and shaking entire vehicle, and making it feel like the trans clutch was spontaneously slipping then grabbing very roughly while just letting out pedal slowly. I backed it out went to pull forward with the same noise, shake and slip grab feeling with hesitation, I turned the tires to back out more and then pulled ahead some same thing but worst because of added wheel resistance (which that I expected) puzzled … pulling it back in checking everything over and finding nothing wrong, I tried it the next day. same thing, couldn’t believe how it shook everything again making a terrible noise and making it feel like the trans clutch was slipping and grabbing, but I got it out of garage into the driveway, got it straight, drove forward and then reveres a few times in a straight line everything shaking , causing what felt like clutch slip and grab every time, sounded like right behind front driver tire and I could feel it in the floor board with my feet,... worst right when beginning to let clutch pedal out to engage slightly, shuttering and sounding terrible along the way…I managed to slowly get down the road, babying it the whole way, once I was rolling (out of 1st) seemed to be better and between shifts, then clutch felt closer to normal…not slip/ grab etc., but back down to any stop, straight road or turning, same thing. Made no difference if all tires were straight or if I was turning. All other gauge read out correct. with in 2 miles as planned I reached the empty parking lot and performed the break in procedure that came with lsd, essentially to drive in a figure 8 a bunch.  Did this, binding chattering, and shaking the car the whole way. I drove it back home seemed somewhat normal once I was in straight line and past 10 mph or so, and I know it will “bind” on corners and cause some tires squeal when turning especially from a stop, but when I begin to move it still causes what feels like the trans clutch to slip and jerk badly as well as shaking the entire car, and sounds terrible, that I didn’t expect. I used the fluid they supplied with LSD kit and did the breaking, planning to change fluid as they suggest after breaking, but wondering will it get smoother or less aggressive with use? maybe a 1.5 is just too aggressive for normal road driving?   I have a LSD that I put in my 71 cuda when I restored it, with amazing smooth , quite yet effective results. Different style LSD but that ones a joy to drive. maybe expecting too much from this R200?
