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!

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
