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

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.

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 am currently going this route. I am curious how much horse power you put behind the cut bell housing? Collins was telling me I am going to crack it and bluh bluh bluh. Because I didn’t buy the custom fly wheel from him. I am looking for somewhere around like 500 hp
    • Forgot to mention that these are the before pics when I first got it!
    • Thanks @PranK for the updated member status, much appreciated! 👍🏼 Now, about those pics… Unfortunately I could only find ones that I took in the dark. I was soon to discover that underneath it wasn’t in the best shape, but it was mine and that’s all I cared about at the time 😆
    • Oh, and only having done this task yesterday, I've now driven the car ~60km since, and while it is hard to avoid placebo effect and confirmation bias, I reckon that some annoyances I had with the way the car has been behaving have improved. Which....kinda makes sense, I guess. If the bushes were really stiff and resisting rotation, they would have been contributing to the effective wheel rate. And if it was more so on one side (which it was, because one side was worse than the other) then.... you might imagine that the additional rate would be asymmetric, and potentially even different between compression and rebound. And so... the car has been twitchy at higher speeds - like freeway on ramps. It really shouldn't be. The wheel alignment is good and there are no (other) known problems elsewhere in the suspension. But at 90-100 on a long sweeping ramp, tiny steering wheel motions would make it feel like it wanted to rear steer. Quite nervous. At lower speeds it would heave about in a manner that it didn't use to. Didn't want to put power down, etc etc. Now...seems to behave better. Am going to have to concentrate on the various corners where it has exhibited weirdness, on the rare occasions when I can get a decent run at them without Methanial getting in the way in his D-Max/Ranger/LDV Van/etc.
