I like this thread!

My first car was a '97 single cab hilux. Had a gearbox that was looser than a prositute with 400xxx km (and still didn't die) that i drove around the property and started with it on my L's but it was terribly embarassing driving it to school so my 2nd car..

My 2nd car was a slightly newer, 2 door Suzuki Vitara that was given to me when i got my red P's. Had 300xxx km and was an absolute pile of shit. Nothing ever worked in it, i usually feared for my life in daily. It would regularly stall for no aparent reason.

My 3rd car was a 93 (i think) VR commodore, odometer stopped working at 247xxx km. Had major problems with it, bought it off a family friend for $500 that claimed it had a "reconditioned engine"- I put a fully sick $1000 fusion sound system in it back when i was about half way through my red's thinking i was awesome. Now that i think about it, f*ck i was a cool commy driver... no it didn't have any UNIT or LOOSEKID stickers on it. But there was a FUSION sticker on it..

Bought my '03 V35 350GT coupe 6 months ago from Brisbane with 78,000km on the clock. Was completely stock, had a compression rod bush worn but that's all i could fault it with. Car now has 89,000km on it going strong. Love it, best buying decision i've ever made (obviously)

    • Back in January, I noticed my car felt noticeably weak. I had the injectors cleaned, which seemed to solve the problem -- until now. Recently, the car suddenly lost power again while driving. Suspecting the injectors, I brought it to the mechanic. He recommended replacing them entirely, saying the current ones were getting unreliable and fiddly to work with. I could not find a direct replacement for my current injectors. The closest match I found were 440cc injectors. This led me to look into the possibility of upgrading -- and of course, that would mean remapping the ECU. From my research I found: The OEM Part numbers are 16600-72L20 and 16600-72L21 Both the RB20DE and RB20DET use the same 270cc injectors. There are much better options out there over the old OEM injectors. Nistune could be a viable tuning option. While the RB20DE isn’t explicitly listed on their site, the ECU is essentially the same as the GTS-T version - just with a different map. The ECU code on mine is listed as supported. One concern is finding a tuner who works with Nistune. Aftermarket ECU like Haltech and Link, but this would be the most expensive choice (and possibly overkill for a mostly stock RB20DE) I admit that I am very new to the tuning scene and would appreciate any insight or recommendations regarding this.   These are some SAU links where I got some of my information from for reference: https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/380324-rb20de-injectors/ https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/477396-factory-270cc-injectors/  
    • The inspectors are not forensic by any means but if you forge your documents and/or badgings on vehicle parts and are found out, the consequences are just far bigger than if you just run illegal parts. And their job quite literally is to cross reference what parts you got installed and what your papers say you got. Something as silly as your suspension being 1mm too low will fail you. Nonetheless I asked if someone knew the damn pipe and I certainly did not ask for smartassery or underhanded comments, no idea why you need to be told this. Great way to waste both our time.
    • As useful as you explaining what forgery is... But then again, I wasn't aware your inspectors were also forensic experts and inspect nameplates on each component to confirm everything is original. They must inspect roughly 3 cars a year at that rate. You're right though, my comment doesn't help you in anyway, so I'll go talk to my wall now. Cheers. 
    • Say that to the guy that is going to fail your inspection or tow your car for illegal exhaust modifications. If you have anything else useful to say, please go tell your wall.
