Learnt to drive in a Auto Datsun 180B :( Hehehe... I remember doing a big rollback burnout in it. In reverse doing about 20km/h, dropped into netural and rev'd it upto about 3000rpm and slipped it into Drive and the thing just stalled.. . LOL

Next was a 1980 Datsun Stanza. Loved it, great fun, and the back seat got a good workout :D

After that it was a 1988 TX5 Ghia, nicely done up with spoiler kit and all the crap.

Then I saw the light and got a R33 :uh-huh: :uh-huh:

I was a Holden man for many years, but I always liked the GTR Skyline and Ford Sierra which I saw racing at Bathurst, but never thought I'd be able to afford one! I still can't afford a GTR but a GTS-t is the next best thing. Here's a rundown on what I've had over the years in chronological order:

(all manual box unless specified)

Mini (learned to drive in it)

LJ Torana 4 door 173 (shitbox)

XY Futura with WILD 302 Windsor (with bald tyres and crap brakes, disaster waiting to happen)

UC Torana hatch 202 auto

LX Torana sedan 253

UC Torana hatch 202 (worked) and celica 5sp box

VS Commodore V6 auto

VS Commodore V8 modified almost as wild as the XY, but only got around 160rwkw. Still a bloody good car for a Commodore. Had brake & suspension mods too. Its handling and stopping power surprised a lot of people. The R33 still does it better though.

I think it's funny how so many of us have upgraded to a Skyline from all sorts of other engine configurations - 3, 4, 6, or 8 cylinder doesn't seem to matter, the turbo 'line is an upgrade to all of them :P

ok.....

Ford Spectron van.......

Holden Jackaroo......

HJ One Tonne Ute, complete with 253 V8 Stage 3 cam, 3 inch exhaust lowered, good wheels tryre, 3 Speed (yes.. laugh i did too) 4.11 diff, it was a good car....Edit: read Country boy....

HZ One tonne ute (after the HJ died) Stock 202 6 no mod's...Sold to brother...

Toyota Corona....(girly's first old car)

Vp Holden Commodore....V6 Exhaust, chip, lowered, tint's, VR kit including race wing, Momo Streering wheel, Mag's.....Sounds nice....goes well, Roomy (Skyline owner's will know what i mean)..:uh-huh: I THOUGHT it handled well and stopped fairly well....

R33 Skyline...(stock) Very different car to drive. No torque like the Commie, but once the boost kicks in........:burnout: Handles a shit load better Stop's amazingly quick, What can i say, it's a far superior car and it's a 95 model....

Cheers

    • Be more active mate.. , not taking the piss ❤️, your long term health will love you for it I would think something like a kettle bell or 2 laying around in areas you go past during the day would be awesome for ADHD.... "Oh look, a kettlebell", and exercise helps your brain health as well My mates son was a bit of a problem child, diagnosed wirh ADHD, and some other things that had his brain occasionally doing loops, until we got him into a training program, the difference after he started training was amazing, he had more focus, and his fitness levels exploded, it is like he is a totally different kid to be around Brain chemistry something something Stay fit stay strong mate
    • I had never actually looked into it, but aren't onboard compressors a thing in trucks?
    • Read the ECU for fault codes or have someone else do it. A faulty coolant temperature sender is usually listed in ECUs. If the sensor itself is not busted it can also be a bad ground connection. Or in a really unlucky case, damaged wiring.
    • Can't be a Futjitsubo as those are made with a flex piece and Reimax is smaller in pipe diameter. If anything it is closest to a Mines pipe, but evidently it is not an actual Mines pipe.   Classic word humor
    • Alright I will try to not forget.   As GTSboy replied to you already, problem is mainly the mismatch between the actual exhaust part and the denomination in the papers. That basically just looks like tampering to a cop, if they were to check your car and notice. If it had been done right they would have clarified it to be a custom pipe and just given it a certain part number that you have to engrave or weld onto the pipe. I will definitely inquire on what to do. Changing the pipe wouldn't be my favorite solution as it costs a bunch of money and the cat was fitted with the front pipe and exhaust under the car, and if the front pipe flange does not sit in the OEM location the cat will need to be refit for any other pipe to work. It also usually doesn't need a brand name or something like that, but more something like a part number. Usually for exhaust parts, on silencers and cat units specifically, there is a badge that reads the certificate number that belongs to these exhaust parts under EU regulation. You get these numbers after you put a part or group of parts through the tedious testing according to EU vehicle legislation and they pass. You can find these "part numbers" on various parts throughout a EU vehicle. On windows, headlights, engine parts, seat belts and so on. All these parts have gone through standardized testing and acquired a so called ECE or EG Certificate that makes them legal to use by themselves in all countries that adhere to these standards. You can also not alter these parts in any way, if you do they become illegal. An example for stampings on an exterior lighting part, the people who need to know can find the documentation for this unit in a database. I do not know what all the standards and so on mean.
