RX4 coupe buzz box. Ported 13B, sweet sweet sound winding up to 9k frequently. Loved that thing. Sadly, very impractical and hard to find a decent one that hasn't been converted to V8 or absolutely destroyed. Unfortunately i dont have any pics handy as i owned it pre digital camera days.

Looking at your number plates on the wall, I used to have a mate with CDUCTV in NSW. 

I just googled him, brought back some memories.

In an effort to stay on topic, I'm not sure if he regrets selling it.

regret selling my 1995 ae101 apex levin.. only a 4 cyl but quad throttle bodies at 9000rpm sounded sweet.. blew the motor.. sold it off.. bought a 33 gtst.. wish i had just bought a new motor instead.... handled like it was on rails.

This story sounds very similar to a lot of other people here... :1_grinning:

What has surprised me most is how often people with GTRs are approached with straight up cash offers. I've never experienced anything like it before. 

Experienced this a lot with the 200 when it was a stocker. I can remember at least 2 occaisions when notes have been left on the car asking if i want to sell it in addition to always getting hassled at traffic lights about selling it.

 

The gtr doesnt get out that much these days haha

happens to me with my 200, its 99% stock and is waxed more often than driven.

my first N15 SSS. I miss the N13, but probably not worth the effort.

The N15 was in decent condition, mechanically great, didnt have any of the typical issues that others did. Engine was refurbished after it was semi-lunched by the previous owner when I bought it. I bought another N15 with heaps of mods, and while it came with some nice goodies, in hindsight I should have just kept the first one and gone all-out with it instead :(

I too had an N13 pulsar, I treated that car like shit. Poor thing it deserved a better owner. I discover that flat shifting at the redline gave you "extra" revs and made the car faster... for a while and than the bottom end bearings were toast. Rebuilt the engine. Ruined the rest of the car with my idiotic driving after that (never crashed it though, that's why I thought I was Schumacher). smh

It was one just like this;

Oh yes lets go there ! ! ! 

Old school ! : -

1966 HR Holden Premier 186S that was factory fitted with the opal four speed gearbox ( these were supposed to run at Bathurst in the day but the gearboxes didn't make it off the boat in time )

Alfa Romeo 1968 Gulia Sprint GT AM - this was a very rare supercharged model that was fitted out in Europe with all the race fruit for the time.

1948 Ford Anglia Coupe - this one was a light weight racing model and had a hand built all aluminum body.

And now I must got and punch myself in the head yet again for selling them ! ! !

    • My take on gg2 48mm, 54mm, 58mm, and 62mm compressor map for same size compressor vs gg1 : All gg2 only outflow gg1 above 20 psi. As all g gen 2 surge line at lower left of comp map move to the right, all gg2 sacrifice spool vs same size gg1, surge line move to the right worst for 54mm gg2. So for same size compressor if you want best response, use gg1, if you want max hp at >20psi use gg2 but you will be laggier vs same size gg1. Max compressor efficiency drops to max 75% on all gg2 vs max 76%-80% of same size gg1. Iirc lower efficiency means hotter iat less dense air so lower hp at same operating point of comp map. Also curious why gg2 is mapped to lower max rpm vs same size gg1 (only 48mm size both gg1 gg2 mapped to same rpm) : 54mm gg1 165,000 rpm  vs  gg2 160,000 rpm. 58mm gg1 150,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000rpm. 62mm gg1 145,000 rpm vs gg2 140,000 rpm. If gg2 can safely spin to gg1 rpm then they can flow a bit more than as mapped. Good thing that all gg 2 interchange compressor and turbine housings with same size gg 1. So gg1 owners can buy gg2 chra only if planning to boost >20psi.
    • My stuff is all with Shannon's, granted, I don't really have imports I'm driving on the road, however, I've had multiple cars at the same time with them. Presently we have the Landcruiser on laid up cover, Sarah's Kluger on full cover, and the house insured. About 18 months ago Sarah wrote her Subaru Liberty GTB off, insured with Shannon's, and the payout, and buy back of the wreck was super quick. In 2020 we had the VF Commodore totalled in a major hailstorm. Storm was on the Saturday, I called on the Sunday and lodged it, vehicle was towed on Tuesday night, assessment team called on Wednesday to say it was a total loss and get payout details, money was in the bank on Thursday morning. Have had a few other claims both at fault, and not at fault, over the years, and never had an issue with them.   Funnily enough, they're also the cheapest insurer I find for things like Sarah's Kluger.   I will say I'm less impressed dealing with them lately around "the experience", as a lot of their staff that you deal with aren't car enthusiasts. Shannon's has a much more main stream feel ever since they decided to become "big corporate", laid a heap of staff off, and then hired a bunch of non enthusiasts. At the same time they've been making a push to be less "call us and we'll personally have someone who cares help" to "hey, this computer can do stuff for you" and are trying to get more square pegs to fit round holes. (That's just the vibe I get from them). Again, have had no issues with claims with them, but get a bit of a "less personal" feel from them.
    • A thing I wasn’t happy with with enthusiast was during the initial phone call they told me they’d insure it for 130k but needed photos.   I then sent them photos and they told me $80k as there were other cars either similar modifications available for around that price, I told them to send me the links to said cars so that I can buy them. i then sent the modification list with prices of the parts (no labor) and the price then came to 115k, which is still shy of the 130 that was agreed in the initial phone call 
    • Ask me a bit later this week before payday
    • I agree that delayed payment probably isn't the most suitable solution. It seems a solid complete transaction would be best. As I wouldn't be using this sale as a line of credit that would typically earn interest, we can probably arrange a much cleaner single transaction deal. I can do $92.52 today. Would you prefer EFT, or Cash on Pickup?  😛
