This is a good thread:

R34GTT-R: boy, you've almost owned the lot in the Nissan range there!! @@

If we talk about previous cars rather than "first"). the Sigma, the R31 Skyline and the R33 gts-t. Not bad for 8 years or something of driving to own only 3 cars.

Ever since I saw the quality in both the features, power capabilities, and driveability of the R31 Skyline, i just had to have the ultimate, the Skyline turbo :D

Next car will definitely be a Nissan (still planning the 180sx or the R32 for next 12-18 months), wouldn't even think of looking somewhere else to be honest. Ultimate car: R32 GTR.. which i should have in a couple of years i hope after i have my house sorted. Never used to like them but i've come around :D

actually i forgot I actually purchased my very very first car from my old man for $200... it was a Subaru sherpa...

1982 665 cc Carb powered beast... couldn't make it up a 30 degree incline with a loaded car...

My first car, which is the one i'm driving now, 1990 Nissal Pulsar Hatch, GL. 67 ball ripping fly wheel kw's! :P Is a manual, and if i turn really hard in the wet around a corner the whole car shudders, and sorta understeers (i think) pretty fun! 5th gear at 60km/h :P

Next car.... R34 GT-T oooooo baby. But if i get a property, wait a few years and skip straight to a R34 GTR. Hahaha, 67kw pulsar to 280kw GTR :bahaha: i envisage a few problems :P

cheers.

Ambz: hehehe...tell me u didn't really own a gemmi and u were just joking... plz :P

dont laugh that car was preety quick, but rust started taking over and it just got 2 old.

What u doing to your car?

all u guys have had minimal about of cars

i killed 2 cars with in 4 month sof my P;s

and then went threw 3 other cars b4 my skyline .....

goo dto knock a few car sunder ur belt b4 u get a nice classy car i recon

now im sick of classy and need western suberbs styles VL!!!! need that smell of blow head gaskets again i recon.. mmmmmmmmm yummyyy

the first car i had was the same as daves i think...HQ premier. omg thats a heavy car to get airborn(sp)

but i had to love the manual 3 speed column shift, the high end speeds of 130km(down hill and tail wind)...the bench seats, front and back, and the crappy "poo brown" colour...ah the memories...

but the best feature of this beut was that you could fit 2 people in the boot comfortably...and the rust holes ment they wouldnt suffocate!

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
