*slaps forehead*

how could we ever forget the old Reliant?

:rofl:

But not all Reliants were so crap.... the Scimitar had the 3litre Essex V6 (man & Auto), in a 'glass body, and went faster than Capri

Then there was the Volvo P1800ES..... very cute, and strangely it didn't seem to be such a nuisance on the road as other Volvos! :D

AND...... in my book the best of them all the Lamborghini Espada from 1970.

Displacement was 3929cc thanks to a bore and stroke of 82 x 62mm, the Bizzarrini-designed V12 producing 325bhp at 6500rpm. A compression ratio of 9.5:1 and six twin-choke Weber 40 DCOE 20-31 sidedraught carbs were used, (imagine tuning this!!) but even though this motor incorporated many of the period upgrades made to Miura's, output was slightly down because of the larger air-conditioning units and power brake requirements of this luxury GT. However, despite its size and 1625kg weight, Lamborghini’s zany new model instantly became the fastest full four seater on the planet.

If you look carefully the tailgate is 1/2 glass, cos the window is so raked that you only had about 6" to look through..... I could put up with it though.

Boasting a 155mph top speed, 0-60 took just 6.4 seconds,

hey that's nearly as fast a Stagea.... :laughing-smiley-014:

AND we worry about economy!! haha

While we're doing ol' skool Japanese wagons, why not more Corollas?

Apparently this one's a bush taxi:

And how's this recent one? Looks like an AE100-series.

Awww, Dale, that cuts me to the bone! I love my 'Rolla's. Not as much as Stagea's, obviously, but they do hold a place in my heart.

good to see the mighty 200b in here at last

:thumbsup: Huh, where?

I have no idea what it is, and I think I like it that way.... :thumbsup:

    • Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in? 
    • @Duncan I can try  and thanks i did not thought about VIN and part numbers for 33/34. @GTSBoy yeah it looks like iam gonna do that  
    • Forgot to include this but this is the mid section of my steering rack that looks like it has a thread/can be turned with that notch mentioned in the post:
    • Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.
    • I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
