ok well hmmmmm, i guess i will scope out some other old cars, can you guys list some others that are fairly decent cars ? that wont kill me with insurance and also wont cost alot to maintain ?

EDIT : btw, besides a turbo, is there anything else i could chuck on the car to make it just that little bit better to drive? something cheap ?

i dont want to spend like 1K on a new exaust or something for a 20 year old car :(

hey guys, just a few other questions i got if u guy can help me out with.

is there any mods i can install to my car, that dont revolve around a turbo ? bassically i mean mods that you dont need a turbo, but still help.

and does anyone have an idea how much permits cost, or does it very from each mod ?

No power steering is only annoying if the car weighs heaps, is front wheel drive :D or is in need of a wheel alignment/tyres etc. A lightweight rear-driver such as the corolla mentioned above should have very light unassisted steering.

More importantly- it will also use bugger-all fuel, cost bugger-all to insure and cost-you guessed it- BUGGER-ALL to buy in the first place. AND you won't worry about it when you park it in a dodgy pub car-park, or next to the trolley return at the supermarket.

Learn to drive it really well, and experience the warm glow that comes from embarrassing the inept drivers of much flashier and more expensive cars in your old shitbox. Then when you buy your Skyline/Silvia, you'll know how to drive it well AND will appreciate it more.

ya well ive been trying to find a cheap carolla but like i said before they are all expensive, most of them are done up really nice, i seen one for 13K....

my bro's magna is front wheel drive, and non power steering, and its really ****ed up for parking :D

i think ure looking at the wrong sort of Corolla.. the one these guys mean is the Corolla thats older than you.. old but reliable and cheap

the one i saw was 1982 i think.

can someone give me the full name, cause someone said sprinter, someone said ke70, someone said ae82 and ae86, i dunno if they are all the same car.

but can someone give me the full name of this damn car LOL..

btw, if i want to get it inspected before i buy it, do i do that that the local petrol station or is there a specific place to get it done?

any idea how much it will cost?

Yep ure looking for some 4age powered 20v super fast doof doof mobile arent u.

Find a ke70 with the 4ac in it, should cost you about $800. Try to get it with less than 200k on the clock and it should be fine. Then get 3rd party property for it for about $135 a year which will help you build up a no claim bonus and if u ram a merc u wont be in the hole for it. No point insuring a bunky with full comp.

Corolla SE sedan. Classic 80s boxy style. Has the same wheel base and chassis as the famed Sprinter, dont bother with the sprinter- better off getting a s13 na and u know what i think of those. :D

    • I used to have Walbro 255's when they were a pretty common update. (or were they 044? 040?) In any case I had a dirty tank. I thought the tank was good, but I would find the filter would clog in maybe ~50km of driving. If the issue persists, well, your fuel system or tank has crap in it that the pump is sucking up.
    • Hi. Ok thanks for the info. I/we do not know what tune is on that Nistune ECU so it is why there is stock ECU and that Nistune is for later when the car is done. I have guy who tunes Nistune and other ECU so i will then take it to him to see and properly tune for the car   And for the update. On 99,9% it is bad fuel pump. Which is wierd cuz it is like 2 years old(brand new walbro 255) and that filter (also brand new) was dirty.  I was alwaya pumped premium(100) on very good petrol station so i dont know how is that possible...  
    • Dear folks My family members have 4 different cars : Triton 2015 and Corolla 2011 and Mazda3 2012 and Hyundai Elantra 2014 Looking to buy engine oil funnel spill free What I found are are below  https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0BBTTJNKX?ref=ppx_pt2_mob_b_prod_image&th=1 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/145553221359?srsltid=AfmBOoqYBU6Ptw0LU_bAp_k67U3qkF97HHvePkA7iHZw8vUmiwoIRaRr https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09X23TCS5?th=1 Is there a funnel with attachment that fits most cars ? Don't mind to spend for a decent quality  Thx  
    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here
