Hey does anyone own a honda integra type R 2000 model??

if so, is it a good, reliable car to have? and how much does it cost to insure it once you're off your Ps?

if its automatic, would it still be pretty powerful?

cos im still deciding on what car to get second hand for 18k. im liking the integra, subaru RX and mitsubishi fto.

thanks,

cyas

An auto series 1 S14? The looks aren't everyone's tastes, but its legal for P platers in Victoria (under the power/weight limit) and has an SR20DET, while the SR20DET S13 and 180SX's are over the power/weight limit

As KILL HSV said, you could get auto S13's, 300ZX's and Skylines as well for under 18k

Don't forget to factor in insurance, RWC, rego, fuel etc. into the cost

Edit: If you can stretch the budget out a bit, you could get a series 2 S14 (96-98), look better than the series 1

FTO's come in tip-tronic mostly... I think they are sexy and sound mean hen revved out (MIVEC ones anyway) so that would be my choice... insurance is pretty steap though, i think just cars quoted about 2500 the same as what they quoted me for the skyline... so guess which one i chose :)

it depends, heard some cost around 1000 for a Gtst, mine cost 3000,i'm 22, full licence, just go have a quote first, and decide which car should u get. a type R for 18k?? whats kms?if under 100k i will sell off my 33 to get it, since its good in overall, not bad on straight, excellent in corners, dun get an auto(type R dun come with auto anyway), unless its M3 SMG auto, and dun get a FTO or prelude, they cant compare with a type R honestly...anyway, have quote on each car first, and i think u can make yr decision...it just my personal opinion, sorry if anyone dun agree with that

u can get a tyype r for like around 20-22k..my friend bought his for 22k and it was in perfect condition and average kms...Under 100kms tooo..onli reason it was dat cheap was coz some guy was in debt n needed to get rid of it..

another mate got his type r for like 18?19k? from the auctions and also under 100k kms....a type R for around 20k? its rare but u can still find one if u look hard....

btw FTOs are a piece of shyt..i hate the look of it and it doesnt go..if i were u..18k? get a 180sx and come on dude! learn manuel if ur guna get a sports car....its not dat hard to learn anyway..i learnt it in one day after i got my line!!

I had my 1st year in auto only then it changed automatically with the p2 system (in NSW) but rumors have it that you have to go for the driving test again soon in a manual to have it changed.

I Would have thought it hard to find a type r for that price and in good conditon - and yeah that dont come in auto. Preludes are a great car (had a gen 3 - 89 with 4ws) and should be pic up a gen 4 or 5 (not sure) in good nic for that price. Insurance for any of those would be a killer though. But if you get a good honda they are great to drive and pretty realiable - we couldnt kill ours (a bogan and a red light did).

    • I thought I'd come back and add something I JUST learned. A Toyota LandCruiser with a 1HZ, mates perfectly with a bottle of Nulon brake fluid. As in, it perfectly screws in. Great make shift funnel when you cut the bottom of it off. This may work for your Corolla.   Unfortunately, tipping a 10L drum is much harder than a 4 to 6L bottle, and they no longer include the easy pour tap which was just perfection to use previously.  
    • Guys since i bought r33 gts25t coupe 1994 automatic a/t(manual swap 350z gearbox)  all i got is problems, always problems. Lets start with that when i turn key into ignition(ON) fuel pump doesnt always works. Sometimes i have to turn key twice Off/on/off/on until it primes. Its new, dw300 - 340lph. My gearbox broke so i did gearbox swap, install different intake manifold, injectors and i take pipes. Car was sitting in garage for more than half a year. I did assembly all not that long ago and when i turn ignition cant hear prime. All of sudden it stopped working. Theres many videos on YouTube how to make relay mod on r33 straight from battery so i did and it doesnt work! 😰 30 - battery positive  87 - positive from fuel pump to relay 85, 86 - one of two wires from original fuel pump wires(light blue, grey) and it didn’t work. so I check on ignition and took original BLUE relays wires from trunk, next to fuses. (I believe it’s IGN+ and ECU pin 18. it didn’t work…  tried connecting (IGN+ from og relay) and (ECU 104 from 1of4 FPCM wires) to my new relay 85/86 and it didn’t work.  I unplug FPCM. Didn’t work. im thinking what’s wrong   fuel pump is working, if I leave IGN+ on 85 and 86 straight to ground it works but it’s just nonstop. Since it getting constant 12v after key in ON. light blue wire gives me 6-8v.  so how this should be connected? What causing ECU not giving — on pin? Or I did sth wrong and that’s why it doesn’t work? I need negative signal on ECU that control fuel pump. What this should be?
    • You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items
    • Funny, but really not funny. Thank god (most) f the world has moved on since then
    • Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile
