my bro's selling his CA18DET 1990 silvia, it's manual, sunroof, hicas, abs, 17 inch crome rims, cat back exhaust, turbo timer........even though its turbo it's still very economical in my opinion, but then im comparng it to my supra.

It hasnt been driven in a year, only started every now and then, got de-licenced when we went overseas, and only just got it registered this week, so it went over the pits and you know it's roadworthy. mechanically it's faultless, we put in a new power steering rack and new brake rod bushes so it can go over the pits. Only problem i know of is brake pads might need changing as its not braking the best, but then again the guy at the pits passed it so it cant be that bad.

He wants round $9,000 for it, but it is negotiable. Make an offer.

One more thing, dash has just been changed as the old digital head up display one stuffed up (common problem ive been told), so now it has the analogue one, but if u find a digital one then the head up display will work also. As far as odometer, this one shows 70K, the one before was about 90K, but as u know with these cars, not even the last one could be trusted, only way you can convince yourself of the mileage is the condition of the car, and this one certainly doesn't show wear, drives very nice.

he needs to get rid of this to make room cos he's buying an r34.

When it comes to daily drivers I love my late model Magnas.

Cheap as chips to buy. (2 to 3year old examples with 50K's go thru Pickles each week from between 10 - 12G)

Plenty of power / torque. (High 15's from the factory, great for winning 'form 1 lane' races!)

Great fuel economy. (Mine runs around 9L/100kms)

Reliable. (3yrs ownership 70'000kms - and except servicing Expenditure = $0)

Heres mine, altough is due for replacement (with another Magna) very soon

what about a rs liberty - 2.5lt boxer engine, all it needs is a decent zorst and voila for about 10-12g's (if ur lucky to get one for a decent price) one of the best sleeper cars - almost the same as a wrx (awd and all that) but its got a 2.5 lt (non-turbo but if u can get a rs turbo its even better) engine, not a 2 lt

you can buy my excel for $5000

its had about $3500 repairs done to it - new head, radiator, aircon condensor etc, relativly new clutch, new front tyres, whole new front end (thanks to a prang - no chassis damage)

:D:):(

suzuki mightyboy FTW

3 cyl 800cc - great fuel economy

surprisingly has quite a bit of room behind the two seats

its a ute so you have room to stash stuff in the tray/fill up with ice and beer

I speak from experience... just add some cool stickers, a 5" monster tacho with shift light, and 2x 15" subs!!!

I did... it made the girls weak at the knees and kept me and the boys in hysterics!

Best thing is it's near impossible to get a speeding ticket as the fasted I could get the thing was 108km/h downhill with a strong breeze behind me!

If laugage space is of no concern, you're under 5'7" and you can live with a 2 seater go for the Suzuki Cappacino >_< They are GREAT on fuel, great in traffic and ALOT of fun to drive.

This one has already been sold, but i still miss my mate having it :(

PS: This car just had a Suzuki Motorsport upgrade - $1200 (ECU, turbo, injectors) made 65rwkw, had an exhaust (cat back) and some shocking tyres with heaps of sidewall flex. But still managed to beat and overtake a few lightly modified skylines (exhaust, cooler, rims) at Winton Rwy :D All other components were std, including suspension, etc :D

    • 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.
    • Ye, in terms of bolting up the "Conversion" from a GT to a GTT is effectively "Use GTT parts for everything" Except the subframe itself, because you won't want a HICAS/4WS subframe. Remember your ABS system will be different too, thanks to GT being the S15 3 sensor system, instead of the R34 4 sensor system for wheel speed. I do not know how people get this to work given R34 diffs do not have a provision for an ABS sensor (they are on the tone wheels of the axles). I assume***** people use S15 gear/R34NA forever when they realize this - Or they convert it to a rear diff/axles that are R33 style which I presume has the singular speed sensor on the diff itself, but then you have to wire it all in and...and... and...
