I cant see how it wouldnt be legal.They are still NA and injected....Very common to come by also...They came standard here in our corolla Seca SX and GTi....I drive an SX...hauls well once the revs are up, But the corollas are heavier than the sprinters...I am in NSW so I am not real sure how the VIC rules are...

haha dun honestly no the power to weight ratio for vic p platers..

all the sprinters in vics specially the ae86s are all bollocksed up... neone actually have a good example?

every now and again I get an old grey haired chinese guy drive in my area with a bog stock, faded blue paint AE86..Now if only I could pull up at the lights next to him oneday.I would offer him $4K on the spot for it. Sprinters are getting snapped up like crazy, even in Japan...awesome little drifters

if only haha.. the lil ae86s are jus awesome.. too bad the ones down here are pretty much dead..

think my parents actualli had one b4 we traded it in bout 7 years ago.. onli got 4k off the new honda at that time tooo :D

wish they knew to keep the car instead.. :D

Good thing also is that Sprinters come standard with the 4age engine.Last of the 20 valves is still a 4 age....So same engine block, worse case scenario you could buy the head,ecu and throttle bodies etc and bolt it all onto the standard motor.This I would only do if its illegal for you to drive due to power weight ratio ruling..But I would just go the whole engine swap rather than this

As a probationary driver, if you obtain your licence from 1 July 2007 onwards, you can't drive a vehicle with:

  • Eight or more cylinders;
  • A turbocharged or supercharged engine;
  • An engine that has been modified to improve its performance; and/or
  • One of the nominated high performance six cylinder vehicles which include BMW M and M3, Honda NSX, Nissan 350Z, Porsche (all models) and Mercedes Benz SLK350.

These restrictions do not include:

  • Diesel powered turbocharged or supercharged vehicles (without engine performance modifications);
  • Nominated vehicles with low powered turbocharged or supercharged engines including Suzuki Cappucino 2D Cabriolet Turbo 3 cylinder 698cc, Daihatsu Copen L880 2D Convertible 4 cylinder 659cc;
  • All models of the Smart car produced by Mercedes Benz; and
  • Vehicles driven as a part of the driverโ€™s employment and at the request of the employer.

engine changed to improve performance... itd rule the engine swap out for me wouldnt it?

I don't think you'll be able to drive a 4age powered ae86 because you can't do anything to your car which increases engine power output. No engineering is needed though because Japan got ae86's with 4age's.

B4 my R34 i had a VTI Accord which was dumped on its ass. i still miss that car. it wasn't fast but damn it was comfy to drive....... it never broke. i had 1 thing go wrong on it in 2 years and thats cos i shorted out the whole ignittion circuit. ps i hate to say it but Honda build quality is about 10x 1.03^89 better. but hey u need to figure do you wanna have a slow NA car and have every 1 say"why didn't you buy the turbo model" or dam your goes damn well for a little 2L.

yeh i spose hondas good for the reliability and stuff buh thing is which honda would be best? jus go for a lil eg civic or shud i try for a vti? have been eyein 4th gen preludes for a while now..

get a nice 93 Civic Breeze, 1.3 litre carby engine...........why? because it's not popular and less change of people bollocksing up the engine.

even if there not screwed up, the civic breeze;s engine jus seems tooo small for me.. i like the body buh im worried i mite get screwed over coz of d tiny engine

Silvia.. hands down..

Best pick of the lot!..

Quite light.. better than an NA Skyline.. Plus PLENTY of money for mods left over!

dont buy an 86.. because poeple who have 86 tend to be wankers who think their Tsuchia or Takumi and end up writing it off

Na skylines are crap.. small brakes.. 4 stud.. open diff (I believe)

NA 300ZX's: It takes alot of money to build a good NA car, let alone even more when you have to buy everything twice cos its a V6

MR2's are not a bad buy.. you dont see too many of them around.. being different is really important for me (i know.. haha.. i drive a 32) and you can get them to be an awesome car to drive!

Thats my 2c

    • Yeah I've spotted this one too, whenever it's lotto superdraw week and I'm browsing car sales dot com for my new ride They must be dreaming, maybe it's worth 150k for the link to Brock?
    • 100% accurate!ย  We are a pack of know it alls....ย  But, I bet people go to you when they have a problem! I've been on a bit of a clean up rampage too over the past month!ย  I've thrown more shit in the bin over the past 2 weeks than I have in the past 3 years combined! Anyway, it's all good fun being different! My wife sometimes does not agree! ย 
    • ADHD in all form isn't about "can focus, or can't focus" or is hyper active or isn't etc. ย  It's all a dysregulation. Either time feels to be stationary, or time just vanishes in a split second. We are either under focussed on the task at hand (as we're over focussed on our surroundings) or we have no idea an atomic bomb went off beside us as we're so hyper focussed and locked in on things. ย  Not to mention the rapid fire thought process. What it takes a "normal" process to think up a solution to a problem, ADHD will be able to give you 5 different ways to solve the problem, and the pros and cons of each. While we can be highly impulsive and lack the ability to "control ourselves" we can also become paralysed with the inability to make a decision for ourselves. While most of us have an OCD like requirement for perfection, we lack the ability often to remain focussed to get things to a perfect state. Those with undiagnosed ADHD as adults, can often find the last part actually stops them ever attempting to do things that they have the ability to do, as the reasoning is often "if I can't do it perfectly, it's not worth doing" ย  As for projects... Ha ha ha, I still need to take the other half of my wall trim down in the Fiance's office so I can paint it. Need to finish digging and running the back yard drains, my R33, getting the Ninja bike registered (now being sold), the moped project, fixing either of the lawn mowers so they're reliable, along with a myriad of other things. ย  It's why I've been going through lately and just being brutal and clearing projects off that I won't actually ever complete. IE, moped will go to the tip, or be given away, bike is being sold, Subaru project being sold, some parts for other projects given away. Or I've been making myself focus on one thing at a time, by ticking off the smallest quickest ones first. ย  There's also a reason by our mid twenties we seem to be "know it alls", as we've all been down some of the weirdest and oddest rabbit holes when you follow the dopamine trail. It's often also why we're more a jack of all trades, but not a master of one. ย  However, pretty much all of my hobby projects, in one way or another, all come back around to automotive. That's my zen area.
    • Remember reading about this not too long ago. been for sale for a long timeย  this is like when the wife says you need to sell the car so you put it up for a ridiculous price no one will pay
    • You are perhaps suggesting that it is not a super car? Well....it's not an AU.
