Whats wrong with an old brown Valiant for a first car??? :Oops: :Oops:

Main reason i wouldnt be getting too nice a car straight up, is that even driving responsibly, its easy to have a minor accident in the first 1-2 years of driving.

My dad didnt even always let me take the car out when i had my Ps depsite having driven at least every 2nd day with him when on my Ls. In certain conditions he didnt think i had enough experience/maturity to drive. (Party/friends/night/rain or any combination)

It was probably 2 months after i got my Ps that my Dad gave me free access to the car. This appraoch probably saved me the small parking accidents, hitting backs of cars that stopped abruptly etc etc, that all my friends had to endure even when driving responsibly.

Get something tamer. I was in the same position as you when I got my first car, always thinking I would be sensible on the road. But when I got my license I changed, I liked going faster than everybody else, overtaking people and just "getting there first". It was a stupid attitude to have, and I still have it occasionally until I see what some people do to their cars (people know who I'm talking about).

Save the money and get something tame like a commodore or something FWD until you get experience. Read this if you haven't already http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=32289, then reconsider if you want a GTS-T. I suggest maybe a R33 N/A?

Seriously, buy a gts-t if you can control yourself and have will power not to put your foot down ffs...

Its a very nice car to drive and to learn in, As long as you are safe and dont get all ****y and try to drag ppl etc and hammer it through corners your fine

Drive it safely, but if you give into temptation or mates edging you on to do something stupid then dont get one

They handle really well and as above any car is dangerous depedning on how you drive it

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
