Just Bought New Car And Need A Cheap/free Deck :)


Recommended Posts

Hey guys, im appealing to your generous side :D

I just picked up this badboy to get to work and home during the week (skyline + fuel prices + 100kms a day = $$) Still got the skyline but im trying to only drive that on the weekends as im sure many of you do. Problem is its got a crappy old stereo and 1 speaker, yes one speaker.

Just wondering if anyone has an old deck and/or speakers gathering dust in their shed that they want to part with. Doesnt have to be flash, a tape deck with a digital display would be unbelievable :D

PS.. yes that is the radio and 'speaker' on the dash, it was held there in place with double sided tape but thats come off so it kinda just moves around up there

Cheers,

damo

Thanks again Mitchy. If anyones got a set of old 6x9s they want to part with too :D

Shi t yeh. Its so fun to drive. Best fun driving ive had in years. You get some wierd looks from people, like.. "Damn thats an ugly car." To get an idea on how rediculous it looks. Im about 6'3 and 100kgs, my mate is about 6'4 and about 125kgs and we were driving down the road, it would of looked like that mitsubishi ad with the two sumos in the front seat driving down to get pizza.

Heres the specs:

1983 Suzuki Carry Van

upgraded 970cc 4cyl engine from a 'Super' carry van from a 1989 model which puts out between 17kw-25kw depending on engine mods, will post dyno soon (originally came with 3cyl 800cc but that wasnt fast enough)

12 inch steel rims (155x55x12 tyres)

Sun roof (barely but its there check the photos)

tape deck and 1 speaker mounted with double sided tape on the dash

Car runs pretty good, other than it blows a little smoke. Also features stealth engine placement, underneath the passenger seat, the cops cant yellow it if they cant find it ! It makes you appreciate how good a skyline is tho :D

I checked the plugs and found out they used 3 plugs of one sort and 1 of another sort, which were all wrong for the engine anyway. So i went to repco and got myself a set of the ones they should have for the engine and it runs like a dream.. with all 4 cyl.

PS. If everyone chips in a couple of bucks, ill take it down the drags. I reckon id probably get in the high 27s

According to Suzuki's specs on the engine, its actually 35HP standard from the factory (at flywheel i would assume after driving it)

One word describes that car - SICK!!

I wouldn't go down to the drags to see that thing do a pass but rather do a burnout. Hah while your at it put it in the donut pit. I'll pitch in some tyres for it :lol:

You better not be knocking it :D

It was a bit out of control today. Wet roads + 35hp = no traction (might of been the fact that the tyres were dry as a mother tho) The wind coming back from freo nearly threw me off stock rd :rolleyes:

It does spin the wheels, but it needs a bit of coaxing to get her going.

may i ask how much u bought if for?

i a student and cant afford to run my r33, im fully independent and parents aint babying me no more :D

Centerlink just aint good enough for me anymore, been car pulling with mates to uni, and im living of 50 bux each week LOL.

petrol is really killing us all. nice car bro, ill join u in the Bomb brothers.

a car like that could do with some serious lowering :D

i've got a pair of Boss 6x9s if you want them, quickly wanting to get rid of them cos it's taking up space in my room + moving house soon. It's better than going in the bin cos that's what'll probably end up in anyway :rolleyes:

Feel the wrath of my bunky :P

Tigeryas im keen for the 6x9s, ill take em off ya hands for sure. PM SENT, im heading to balcatta tomorrow to pickup from Mitchy, so tomorrow would be good for me, but whenever is cool for you.

Philta, the car was advertised for $550, i took it for a test drive and offered him $500 and he said ok. Then we were talking about transfer and stuff, and he goes "actually buddy, make it $450" SCORE!

Its good cos now my car isnt just used to get to work and back and i can do more work to it. The bumper needs to be fixed, heaps of little carpark scratches and im in the need for a big ass turbo + power fc :)

Phobic, im thinking about chopping the springs, but that might make it even bunkier to drive. I nearly got blown off stock rd today on the way back from fremantle, but other than that..

There's a term called Over capitalizing on investment :P

Im 'thinking' of down the track having a mobile jukebox in the back, that i can have in there and rock up to a party, drive it round the back and pull it out on rollers to the back hatch. But who knows how long my interest will last, at the moment, its just good not having to pay $17 a day in petrol (let alone tyres and wear and tear) to get to work and back

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.    
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
