I my self have owned a few cars over the years, i go through my photo's and think i should of kept that car but there's a few i wish i never bought in the first place. the car i wish i still owned was a 1974 corolla ke20 it had a 1.8 2TGE turbo couldn't beat it for power to weight.

my 4 Door R32 GTS-t...it was stock...i sold it because i thought it needed "too much work" and wanted to get into a 180. It had no rust, chassis was a little bent, but not bad, and the interior just needed a touch up...apart from that it was great...tein shocks, $1100 JVC cd/dvd player, stock motor except it was running 11psi...it was great...

then i rushed selling it to buy an s13, which i now regret so much

Mk 1, 2 door escort, stright, bright red, gold simmonds and no rust!

mine were silver hotwires with white wall FAT tires. was a Mk1 1972. fitted a 2L pinto though with webbers.... was a very very mean machine... sold for 300 bucks. :D

A bit of sentiment here...

It was my 1st car; a new Datsun 1600 Nathane Yellow.

Mods incl. a radio/cassette (new back then), chrome wheels, No.1 Pool ball on the gear stick, Weber side draught carbie that made the Capitol Motors Service Engineer go Wow!, blackened back panel, aftermarket centre console, a light in the cigarette lighter.

It'd look great next to my R34 GT-R 2000

Other fond memories incl. Alfetta GTV 1979, Alfa Romeo 164Q 1990, R33 GT-R 1995, BMW 328Ci 1999

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
