best of getting something cheap to run to start of with so you save for something better. that's what i did

corolla auto, hyundai coupe, s15 200sx (aus delivered)

one of em is my real first car, not sure lol but the s15 was definitly mine, but learnt to drive on the corolla, learned manual on the coupe, then drove on Ps on coupe and the s15 (manual). i should've just gone manual from the start but mom tought me how to drive lol

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:

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
