the thing is with a car like a silvia, u say that it will be ur daily, but it wont, u'll put a exhaust on it, decent intake, then rims, then a turbo, then suspension etc etc etc etc

something like a civic, old lancer, laser, astra, excel all that sortg of stuff

stuff all on fuel, plus you dont really car if it gets dinged up a bit

plus a sr20de can be pretty thirsty depending on the way you drive :)

I drive a 1991 Nissan Pulsar to work, cost stuff-all in fuel and I don't care if anyone steals it or smashes it :yes:

Me 2, well i think thats what it is. I would be grumpy if someone stole "Nana"... The 14 yr old in my house hates it. "Can i have a lift".."sure i'll get the keys to Nana"..."dont worry" ha ha ha :wub:

    • What could be causing my clutch problem besides a bad master or slave then? Both those parts are new

    • My hold point for future mods is that I want a OEM detachable hard top first, but, finding one is a pain, MX5 Mania are looking for one for me, but, as hens teeth are more common, finding one in Australia is proving problematic  I can get a OEM one from overseas, hell, you can still get new ones in 'Merica, but, shipping is a absolute killer and I cannot justify the cost, or the risk of it being damaged during transport As for the aftermarket hardtops, whilst they do the job of being a hard top, and are fine for a track car, they don't seal well (read: leak like a sieve in the rain), and you need a plastic/poly rear window, plus they are a bolt in option only and not made to be easily removed I liked how the hard top on my NB could be fitted, and removed, by myself, in less than 5 minutes I know it sounds bad, but I'm waiting for someone to write off a car with one so I can swoop in on their pain, it will go to a good home though, so my guilt of this is tempered
    • I’ve got one on mine and it’s fine, 
    • No, you don't want to plug the vacuum line, as that will turn that side of the booster into an air spring and probably make it feel worse. I'm not saying that the GTR master itself doesn't need a booster. I haven't paid attention to the GTR one to know what size it is cf the non-GTR ones. But when you think about it - they have to do the same job, which is to move a little slave piston a few mm to do what it is supposed to do, and that final action is the same on all the cars. So, it is very unlikely that the GTR MC is any different than the others, because it has the same pedal stroke and the same output requirement. The booster just makes it feel easier. I'd suggest you probably have an actual hydraulic problem. It's totally common on these old shitboxes.
