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.

im still on my L's and i bought a 94 R33 GTS25 in may just gone, i like it for a first car but already the power bug has bit me and i cant wait to upgrade to a GTS-t, im eligable for my P's next month and im planning to upgrade to a GTS-t in the very very near future.

    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
    • yess of course im not using 2nd hand parts from my spare engine, but the place where i live is hard to find parts for the RB20DET ,but for the RB20E is everywhere including new ones and a lot cheaper ,because for the RB20DET you have to order it overseas to get one and it cost a lot of money 3x the price to be exact. so i ask this topic because if i can use the new ones but for RB20E is it compatible or not. if not im screwed haha, not totally screwed but i have to save a lot of money first before i can begin repairing my engine, thanks for the information before.
