1986 camira, was the best v8 killer, if the v8 wasnt turned on that is. ha

it was literally a peice of shit, it seazed with 140000 on the clock, ***n peice of shit, my second car was a vltc, and i was still on my p's, although insurance was a whore to say the least. Best thing to think of buying a first car in my opinion is not power, not expereinced enough to handle the power, well thats my opinion. And it all depends on your taste, if u like skylines, why not buy an asperated line, then upgrade when the time comes.

1989 HSV SV89 Auto. Was a great car to learn on(mum gave this when she baught her 95 GSR Lancer - Wich was a awsome little car). Just before I got my P's baught a 1985 VK Calais Manual with a fairly well modded black 202 in it (managed a 14 flat out of it). Kept that for about 6months then got the R33 skyline. Had it for almost 3 years now. Would not go back. I'm glad that I had a powerfull car for my first. Cause it scared the shit out of me a few times. Enough to teach me to keep it off the streets.

'97 4 dr Rav4 auto.... go the rav! had it while on L's/ red P's

'04 subaru impreza RS 2.5L, still got it

'90 R32 GTR pick up next week, should be fun...

for a first car if you want something sporty but without insurance headache and new P plater power restrictions go a honda prelude, integra, civic, all great cars,

or if u wanna go AWD the subaru impreza RS 2.5L is a fantastic car! goes very hard, about the same 0-100 as a v6 holden/ford. very good suspension and AWD it doesnt get much better than that for a first car....

85 VK 3.3L carby (looked tough but lacked anything real). then went up and got another 85 VK but with a worked V8 5L. I can always count on my commodores to break down on me! good learning experience though.

jeebus, you guys got fairly decent first cars...my first was manual 76 VW passat. fwd and dodgy gearbox! actually it was prob a good thing i had that car, actually handled ok cause it was so light and had very little power.

    • Once the airbag is off, to remove the steering wheel.... Undo the 2 plugs into the clock spring, and the horn connector from it's clip. Hit the 19mm nut with a rattle gun (preferably) or if you don't' have one, you probably want an assistant to hold the wheel in place while you use a breaker bar to undo the nut Then, screw the nut back on 3 turns, and pull the wheel sharply towards you. If that doesn't work hit it medium force with a rubber mallet on either side, or possible behind if you can get there. If that all fails (it shouldn't!) you might need a steering wheel puller
    • So, to next task....the carbon fibre steering wheel was either an expensive factory option or a chinesium special. Either way, I don't like either the flat bottom or thick ring style, so it had to go So...to remove the steering wheel.... First, disconnect battery negative and stop on the brake pedal for a few seconds. Then, remove the small circular covers on each side of the wheel's rear surround to uncover the airbag clips. You need to push something like a flat bladed screw driver through, you need to push the steel clip inwards and pull the side of the airbag forward. Once you've done the easy side, same on the centre console side. You can see the tab you are shooting for circled in red Then, disconnect the horn spade connector and for the yellow airbag plug you need to get something small under the black locking tab to pop it out, then the connector releases......airbag is off  
    • @99RS4just wondering if you ever took photos of the footwell lighting / how you bypassed the controller, im keen to haver footwell lighting come on when I open the doors too   
    • Ultimately, if the tip is not far into the runner and the o-ring seals, then you are in business. Have you applied pressure to it as is? It is not really a problem for the injector to twist once it is bolted down, the oring seals it and you don't want it jambed into the oring too hard The plenum is intended to take multiple size lower injectors with different adapters, but the way you have it is fine if they seal.
    • Are these the Dmax ones you are in reference too? https://justjap.com/collections/driveshafts-bearings/products/d-max-reinforced-replacement-rear-driveshaft-set-fits-nissan-s13-s14-s15-r32-r33-r34-c35#description Not a bad idea to get the uni flange ones. I have sent just jap an email too. Will see what they say lmao. Only thing is the Dmax ones are on a big back order. Low key anything will be better then my OEM ones I got as they are sounding like popcorn when I go under load lmao 😂☠️🪦.
