Was you old Group 3 a VH / VK /VL?

I've always been a bit partial to the VH group 3, and wouldn't mind if I had one with the HO pack sitting in the back shed :wink:

I'll be a cop out and say all my cars have been the best - I liked them all.

1978 XC Fairmont (219kw), 1982 XE ESP (stock as a rock 302), 1989 GTS-t, and my current R33 25T. Next car? Hmmm. Oh the options.

My R33 4 door is the latest evolution in Nissan cars. 1st car was a datsun 1600, Datsun Stanza, Honda s600( I know,but it was so cute),Datsun 1967 Fairlady 2000 High Screen sports convertible ( looks like MGB only much nicer), datsun 120Y and now Skyline R33.

Dont have to coerse the car 2 start each morning :P

  • 6 years later...

for some reason.. my old 78 golf was the most fun car i've ever owned, sunroofs are sick, and so was 4wding n throwing it thru mud.. POS cars are so much more fun than fast cars.. have got a 32 gtr and a 69 pacer, had a 32 gtst, ta22 celica, 81 corolla.. golf is only car i'd ever want back.. was so damn sick.. jesus this threads older than me ;o

LOL someone already asked the question you had planned on asking terry? So your like only.. 6yrs too late :P

LOLz LMAO HAHA

Yeh I was digging around in the dirt, and look what I found? THIS OLD THREAD!!!

I had fun looking at the earlier posts tho'

...trust you Craig to scrounge around and sniff it out... lol

I rate cars as I do many things, on value for money so far an old hyundai excel I paid $700 for with 12 months rego and free rust that gave me many years of service free, hassle free motoring wins!

Dont really like my whale....its too heavy and too slow, but it was cheap and nasty so It'll do!

    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.     
    • I've got a Turbosmart wastegate, ATP catch can, many GK Tech parts and Haltech everything. Everything's been perfect, sorry to hear your experience wasn't the same
    • The only high-power RB I've personally seen go pop after running for all of an hour on a dyno was built by B2R, while being remotely tuned by B2R. The only wastegates I've ever had leak like a sieve, return, still leak, return and get shipped back the wrong ones were from Turbosmart. The only final drive that I've ever purchased that were unusable, twice... were from Speedtek. The only seat mounts that I've ever purchased that placed the seats in the door frame were from Crank Motorsport. The only poorly designed parts that I had the manufacturer confirm should have been designed as per what I mentioned were from GKTech. The only ECU I've had firmware updates consistently break things are Haltech. The only catch can I've purchased that didn't fit in its advertised spot was from ATP. So forth and so on... Moral of the story, doesn't matter where it's from. Do your research beforehand and stick with products and companies you've trusted in the past.    @joshuaho96 If you want it done right, do it yourself.
