I'm probably gunna get bagged out for this, but my first car was a 1978 VB sl/e commodore with a worked 308, turbo 400 tranny and a nine inch. It ran 13 sec quaters and had a top speed of about 240km/h.

I've still got it and am planning to rebuild it (make it even faster), as soon as I finish saving up for an R32 GTR.

95 Hyundai Excel 3 Door Hatchback......Laugh all you like. Punished everyday of it's life, has driven over 310 thousand K's and still going strong. It has been the best investment I have made to date.

Mods: One big arse stereo (in it's day). Infinity Kappa splits, 6X9's and a 12 inch in the boot. Recall racing a "Devil Yellow Mini". Now those were the days. LOL

1979 Torana

- 202 stage 1 with a stage 2 cam (about 25/65), Genies, Holley, the usual stuff

- M20 & about 3 or 4 diffs (kept braking them).

- yellow with a black bonnet, hotwires (heheh) & no bumpers

- plenty of camber 225s on the front, 185s on the back for dodgy dorifto Oz Style

My first car:

GTR R32 T88-33d, Cams, etc etc etc....

400kw@ wheels

Lucky first car aye!!!

So your actually dead right & this is like the brother or relative telling people what your car was? FMD 400kw @ the wheels for a P plater is a tad extreme.... I hope Daddy didnt buy it.

:headspin: I'm amazed at the amount of PPl who can afford the $$$ to get something pretty flash as a first car!?!?

1. is it that either someone else fronted up with the money for you, or

2.you used other peoples cars for most of your early driving life, or

3. you lived at home riding the train / tram / getting a lift, not spending the money that you earnt??? :headspin:

    • Thank you, 100% the intent. New coils were due and the 17" sixers look/feel loads better than the stock wheels. The aero options are so spot on.   Thanks for the warm welcome, all!
    • 98 r34 gtt Been rocking my latest setup and car running like never before. Have put a good 200 miles on it since all the latest changes and additions. everything is dialed in and have been driving it a bunch.   However, all a sudden last weekend as soon as I pushed throttle passed 4k and the engine stumbles, (slow or fast acceleration) hesitates and doesn’t go above 4100 or so, like a misfire. Everything else seems fine. I had a “good” set of coil packs that I removed from car when I first got it when I changed them over to new coils. I swapped out current ones for those, but no change. I also changed the plugs, no change. Seems to rev over 4 when out of gear with no load just fine no “misfire”, but as soon as its in gear with a load of any kind, it “misfires” as soon as rpm drop back below 4 k it runs perfectly, smooth, starts, restarts and drives fine as long as I keep it below 4 k while in gear. All readings look fine, no CEL   Any idea as to what could all a sudden cause an issue when pushing rpms passed 4 k?
    • When you say your cams are 272/262 is that 272in and 262ex?
    • We're arguing semantics. I am saying 45 accel and a 55 deccel ramp are "2 ways". Even a 45 degree ramp and an 89 degree ramp is "2 ways", because it is literally... two ways. The cusco 55/30 ramp is a 2 way. It's two ways. I get it though - in normal nomenclature a "2 way" would be 45/45 or 55/55 or 60/60 i.e the same locking in both directions. And something like 45/65 would be considered "1.5 way". I would then say if we're getting into the nitty gritty then every locking diff is a "2 way" diff and we should not speak in 1.5, or 2 ways but ramp angles instead. Which ofc if one of those ramp angles is 90deg, that side is not doing any locking. :p So Nismo don't obviously sell 3 things. The fact of the matter that they only sell two items really goes to show that there's a 2 way and a "1,5 way" which is really a 1 way. I believe the actual lockup for the 'adjustability' of the GT pro is really just setting preload for when the ramps actually start locking up. It's not changing how much 'wayness' there is. It is (somehow) horribly explained. People just buy whatever diff and go "locks up good bruh" and that's what ends up on socials forever.
