33Spec2, the old theory goes that a completely stock car will have a had an easy life, so it'll be ripe for mods. Heres another theory: A completely stock car has been owned by captain old guy/poseur head who wouldn't have cared much for mechanical maintenance. They wouldn't have warmed the car up before putting the boot in, they wouldn't have changed the oil every 5-10k km, they would have bought lower quality lubes and taken the super budget route with repairs in general.

I've seen examples of both theories, but the latter is far more common. Safest way is to inspect any car *very* careful regardless of the level of mods.

Yeh the Nissan Xtt has the fwd Ca-18 in it and its spewing oil from just near the CAS. Gonna give it a look this weekend and ill see how i go. if i start pulling my hair out wanna have a look on sunday? ill pm on sat nite if ure interested.

My baby ^

I have seen a 50 year old with 400kw Line - one of the best kept machines around.

I have taken on line same year, same transmission but had been thrashed by chinky bloke - haha it got chopped in a big way, feels even better when the ex was driving. So they go better for sure when they have been fully looked after by old codger.

I think no matter what you get just have it checked out as thoroughly as possible - and on a wing and a prayer it'll be fine - these cars ar emade for a bit of punishment anyway :uh-huh:

    • Haha watch Alex's eye twitch when you mention Nistune to him in person lol. He's not a fan, then again it's quite a niche product. I personally don't mind them, but most usually steer clear from it. Word of advice, do not ground the AFM to the chassis, there are heaps of incorrect guides on the interwebs. Send both GND on the AFM back to Sensor GND on the harness.
    • Note I edited my post, so Sleeper's quote is not the same as what I meant any more.
    • That's a whole 'nother issue. Nissan ones get dirty and sticky. The coolant heats the wax pellet thingo to close the valve, so it is open when it is cold. And so if there is no coolant it just takes longer to close, because the heat has to soak all the through the inlet manifold.
    • I feel like this is crazy pills though. Isn't it locked up all the time anyway? It shouldn't flare anywhere if it only unlocks momentarily while it shifts gears. And if it flares like that when shifting gears, then the 8HP with a 5500 stall is not driving as well when on the road and/or track use..
