I agree with nsm034,

My first car was a 1986 KC Laser Ghia. Went pretty hard for a 1.6L manual, started first time every time. Did wiked handbrake turns :rofl: And it was also faster than my mates 1998 Lancer! I had that car for 2 years so that I could save up enough money without taking out a huge loan to import my own car. Save money and don't be in debt.

R32 GTR ... had been driving for a couple of years before hand though... thought to myself why waste money on a sh!tter when it can go towards my dream car... three years of savings later, and i had it :rofl: Been driving it for almost 2 years now without a problem (besides the mandatory "im an rb26 and am going to rape your wallet, bank account and silver coin shrapnal bucket/container" problems).

Man after my own heart. GT-R or bust :)

Lucien.

1988 Series 1 VN Commodore Executive. V6, 5 Speed. Base Model, weighed nothing.

Was a bloody weapon.

I did Extractors, Custom Cold Air, Splitfire Plugs (!!!) LSD, Clutch and Suspension, Tyres etc.

It's the car I learnt to drift in. It was crazy fun in the wet and sometimes dry.

Learnt a lot of things about car control in that thing.

Great fun.

the gti was awesome . handled the best of any car i've ever owned including the skyline. don't knock them till you drive one , you'll be suprise what they can do

I always thought the "suspension tuned by Lotus" was a bit of wank factor and nothing more... until a friend took me for a ride in his (and let me drive it). These cars are damn impressive, and be up there with one of the best handling cars I have ever been in... and it came from the factory like that!

Said friend is now putting a 4G63 in it, should be a weapon :)

1984 Cordia GSR Turbo

1983 Nissan Exa Turbo

1985 Telstar TX5 Turbo

1987 Laser TX3 4wd Turbo (Ex rally car)

1987 Corolla twincam 88kw 4age

1990 MX6 Turbo

1992 Liberty RS Turbo

1986 Corolla SECA Twincam (run about to keep km's down on RS)

1992 R32 GTST

1990 Gallant VR4

1994 S14 200sx series 1

1996 Barina City - Auto 1.4L

This is from 1995 to 2005

The downgrade from R32 to VR4 was due to purchasing unit.

The downgrade from S14 to barina was due to Thieving Kunts and no comp insurance.

saving for wedding now so barina stays for another 6 months or so.

out of all those cars for a first car I'd say the corolla.

was going to do the same but opted for the skyline instead

My first car was a 1990 Ford KF Laser TX3, jet black resprayed from white....

I loved that thing, that is, before I bought the GTR :cheers:

before the Laser myself and my dad shared a 1979 MKII Escort 2.0L Carby, that was a very cool car....later on when I have a spare couple-a-thou I wanna buy and do up an old 1976 MKI Escort, the best shape I rekon :)

.....besides the mandatory "im an rb26 and am going to rape your wallet, bank account and silver coin shrapnal bucket/container"

I is waiting for my shining day....I have a $6,500 ING account that I am not allowing myself to touch

Had the GTR a month and a half, so it shouldn't be long now :cheers: :uh-huh:

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
