0R10N Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 That's not a bad excess. Mine is $500 minimum, but heaps more for Skyline/rotary which I found amusing/kinda sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacker.cam Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 There is no way that you could rev that engine to 10.5k and not have it end in tears dude. Formula Atlantic 4AGEs pull those kind of revs but they are rebuilt after every couple of rounds, they're balanced to perfection, they have leightweight piston and rods, they have a lubrication system that can support the oil demands of a motor spinning at that speed, and they have rod bolts that can handle those forces. Your motor has NONE of those things. 7-7.5k seems reasonable for an old bluetop that has a standard bottom end. Whoever told you it could rev to over 10k is a moron. And more than anything it won't be making any power up there anyway... Do yourself a favour and don't fuck with the rev limit and end up costing yourself a bunch of money 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slacker.cam Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Aside from that. Mint car man. Awesome to see that you managed to find a decent car here in NZ. There's definitely room in my collection for a modified road car like this in my collection if you ever decide to sell it Get some more pics up ASAP! I won't be able to see it at the 4nR as I'm away racing again this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyGal Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Cool car dingaling! You should definatley not change gears under 10,000rpm though haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valiant Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 This is so sweet Lingling! Hope you have a nice dry garrage to stop it rusting away. I drove down Henderson Valley road yesterday, Tarma autos still has a sign down there, I'm not sure if they still are though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Also rang AA, the chick has no idea what I was on about.."toyota what?" what" "how do you spell trueno?" And did you tell her it's t-u-r-e-n-o? / grrrr fix your signature already! I doubt you'll find a room for rent in a house with unused garage space by asking people on a car forum. If we had garage space we'd use it. You might have to find an empty house to rent, grab the garage for yourself and rent out the other rooms to people like Orion's flatmate.

LingLing Posted January 24, 2012 Author Share Posted January 24, 2012 yeh, that could be a idea, but there is lot of on going maintaince issues, if I become a second landlord etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xsspeed Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 You don't have to be responsible for any maintenance if you get other flatmates in, just make sure your landlord is ok with however many flatmates you get. The landlord is responsible for making sure the house its sweet. Your sig says "TURENO" should be "TRUENO" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHGWAG Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 Your sig says "TURENO" should be "TRUENO" No, haven't you ever watched Initial D? It clearly says TURENO. C'mon Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

C'mon Steve No I haven't BTW, Andy, car looks mint, I wouldn't change a thing/if the suspension is too stiff then maybe soften that up and that's it. Just enjoy driving it, keep it tidy and clean. Re your need for a daily, if you a working to a tight budget, just get a beater that you don't car about, like a 2e powered starlet or corolla. If you need something bigger for towing get an older falcon or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may change my signature to "Alpha Romero" / "Rover SDi Van Dan Plas" in protest / cry a thousand tears. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evan Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 nissan navara EDIT: also buy a camry wagon for daily duties as we now know they are one of a very few cars that can fit a ae86 hatch in the back and still have someone sit on the back seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
