Since when is an ae86 cheap, i looked at ones being imported and they were about 10k or more!!!

Doesnt look like a cheap car to me.

The rarity and cult following of these cars in japan means high prices and many drifted and dinged examples around.

Go the mx5 or r31 then save $$ and drop an rb25 in it.

Buy one already in Australia. They go for around $5000 (known as the Trueno).

Well... My thoughts are an R31 Skyline... Non turbo one..

rear wheel drive, you can make them loko nice, they hardly ever break down, Not too much power for a first car...

My first Car was an R30, Learnt to drift in it, Plenty of fun.. Then I bought a 2 Tonne Pimp machine ... ha, I even drifted that once... but that was a tad scarey....

Early skylines are good, Or early Toyotas.. Cause they are cheap, and if you thrash them they won't break to quick or go too fast for you to handle...

And if you crash in a gutter, they can be fixed.. Just don't hit a tree, Your spinal cord can't be fixed...

Advice, practise in the rain on a closed off or safe road if you want to learn drift....

i always wanted a rx3 or ta22 celica for my first car, cheap, rwd, 2 door, tuff looking, but then i knew i was gonna work it and spend well ova 20K on top at the minimum, and things like no p/s, electrics, no AC changed my mind, so i bought my s14a and began modding that, it depends wat u like, but if u dont wanna car thats too fast but still fun, NA silvia

    • Hi all, Restoring r33 series 1 rb25det. All the heater hoses were on their way out, have replaced them and put it all back together. After testing I noticed a small leak from behind the head on the actual metal water line to the turbo when cars warm. I tried running a longer hose over it but it kept leaking...   I am about to take the (stock) manifold off again😔 to change the water line does any one have any lines they recommend? I was looking at Aeroflow Turbo Oil & Water Line Set but not sure what everyone else recommends. Car is completely stock but want to upgrade turbo eventually. it looks like ill have to disconnect a lot just to replace these lines so if there's anything else recommended to do please let me know. Thank you in advance!
    • From memory, on the R33 GTSt at least, while everyone says "It's not adjustable", I found when I changed clutches in mine, it just needed a small adjustment on the rod length. But be very wary here, as you could end up trying to push the pushrod in the master too far, or blowing out the slave.   Most likely though, if the master/slave isn't bypassing internally or leaking out, then the throw out is the wrong height compared to the fingers on the clutch, so when it moves to disengage the clutch, it isn't 100% disengaged. You can check part of this out too by jacking the car up, having the engine running, put your foot on the clutch and try to engage 1st gear. If it goes in pretty easy (Compared to the ground) and/or the wheels start turning a fair bit and it takes a bit too much brake pedal to bring them back to a stop, this is likely the issue.  I'm not sure if you can adjust the height of the forks etc in these though, it's been that long since I've touched any RB gearbox.
    • That's all good, I thought I was missing some interesting feature! Maybe @PranK can double check if that is something that is meant to be operating or not.
    • I hope that is not something that bad. From what i remember he said that only first gear is "hard" to get in and that he has couple of ideas what to try next but idk 😕  hope it is not gearbox out. I will let you know.
    • If it's not the hydraulics, it is probably gearbox back out. Usually as per @Duncan's post, or otherwise associated with not getting the throwout fork positioned correctly. All the way up to catastrophically bolting shit back together without it being aligned properly and wrecking the clutch/input shaft/flywheel/something else.
