Yes I remember you had an avatar of one for quite some time hence I mentioned.

Then it seems you are never satisfied, dezz. But I do agree, cars are shit these days without spending an absolute fortune and anything decent from the 90's / early 00's is getting old in the tooth.

Will be properly looking into these supercharger kits for the 86 on Monday. From what I gather: 4-5k fitted, ADR complianced and engineered, all bolt on components with ecu reflash. 170rwkw without an exhaust on conservative boost; not uncommon to get 210rwkw from an exhaust and a little more boost. In a great handling 1200kg rwd, that's good/dangerous fun!

that will be awesome!

That's actually good price...

Need to drive one of these 86 to see what's the fuss is all about, rode in one at deca and it was fun.

Just got that fun "go kart" feel that you get from a little buzz box; cockpit interior, in tune with the vehicle controls/feedback. You have to hit the corners though. They are no more special than a sporty little modern-looking car around town. I think they did a good job of capturing the essence of the AE86, being that it wasn't the fastest car at the time (still decent performance), but people loved to thrash/chuck them about. A lot of Hondas like the Integra and Prelude are like that. Would I want more power from factory? Yep. But it stands on it's own where it matters. Be a great beginner track car if you can afford to spend that on a track car.

Add a blower and I think that's the difference between 8/10 and 9.9/10.

Do want something with some go...driving an excel/EA since selling my 33 so its been a long time between fun drives.

Leaning more towards prestige/euro... 34 gtr would be good but they're 13 years old now...

As far as evos go they've never really done it for me generally speaking, but if I were to get one I'd say the 8 shape is more to my liking over the 10.

Cars are just shit these days, maybe I should get a Panigale....

Pretty happy with my liberty, plenty of go, and the flat 6 sounds great at high rpm

So a s14...but more expensive ;)

Border Security is fkin hilarious. So many liars.

Middle-aged Asian women are the worst; terrible liars.

Someone smuggling drugs hidden inside engine pistons, clever...

Just wondering lol

Are the 32 brakes as over engineered from the factory as a lot of nissans? aka, can handle double the power and still stop it find on the track with just some upgraded pads?

32 gtst are smaller than 33 gtst

    • It only looks tidy, as most of the stuff that was on the whole back wall, is now in the trailer to go to the tip, or has been shoved in my 2.2x2.4m "Spare parts room", and now I can't get to anything in there Ha ha ha I could definitely do with a bit more space, but I'd just end up with your problems I'm going to enclose the car port beside the garage, and move a lot of stuff into it I think. OR... It will be setup as a fabrication area, and the main garage will have parts storage in it. I'm not sure yet... Need some pictures of that big shed you've got with the bikes and Skyline in
    • No. I think it's gone. 😭 I think you can get body coloured ones on eBay so I think I'll get one of those... Or just hang a red ribbon from the hole and whack a TOW sticker next to it.
    • Can't say I've had a bad experience with one on my car, then again it only gets washed once or twice a year... The wheels on the other hand, get a good spray often due to my shitty dusty pads.
    • @MBS206 thats pretty neat and tidy to me!  I'll get a photo of mine when I'm out there next. It might require multiple photos to understand the scale of the atrocities though... In total I have 4 sheds of varying sizes and layouts. Main shed is 14x8, second shed is 3x8, third shed is 11x2.5, fourth shed is around 6x4.  All are pretty much full.   The main goal of my cleaning tsunami is to make the main shed predominantly car and motorbikes only. Second shed is my metal fab room (2 x bench grinders, drill press, bench belt sander, metal band saw, scrap metal storage and some of my garden tools.  3rd shed is more bigger garden stuff, storage for engine crane, jack stands, concrete grinder, concrete mixer, air compressor lives there, and it now has two 2mx2m pallet racking shelves with itemised boxes holding building stuff, electrical stuff, plumbing stuff, etc, etc.  The 4th shed is Ryobi electric ride on mower, mini boom sprayer, ancient Kubota tractor, more garden stuff!  I have got a lot of shit....  Then there's the pool house (8mx4m) and the pool pump shed (4mx4m).  I built all of the sheds over the 11 years we've been here.  The main shed was a Ranbuild kit, the rest are all custom made to fit the areas available. Building the main shed taught me a LOT as I had no idea about building anything prior to that!  I've still got one more in me. It will be my man cave which I poured the extra concrete for way back when I poured the concrete for the main shed. The idea is the Skyline will be a centre piece of the main cave once (if...) it's finished.  I told my now 14 year old son yesterday that I will 100% drive him to his year 10 formal in 2 years. Still a long way off but at least I now have a date to work towards! 🤣
