Why is this a thing? Is Australia somehow unique as a country when it comes to the auto industry and deserves their own general thread?

>>16224387
It's a containment thread, though we're fairly unique as far as our car culture developed. No Euro displacement or emissions taxes, plenty of Jap crap to import, and our cheap used market isn't as mangled the American market after Obongo's cash for clunkers program. And up until recently we also had the Falcodores; the reason there are no "wat is gud rwd" posts here. A bit like the Crown Vic only lighter, sometimes quicker depending on trim, and no autismo undercover cop stigma. They're cheap and go sideways easy, and the used ones will last us another decade at least. Also utes.

We've got shit highway cops and the media loves to run stories about hoons and dangerous imports, but fuckall happens about it. A meet or two gets busted up by revenue raisers but life goes on.

Should i wait for the XR6 turbo to depreciate some more or should i buy one now? Was thinking about converting my BA XT into a turbo, but found out its cheaper to buy a whole turbo car. I sorta want it but i dont want to spend 5k+

>>16225129
If you don't want to spend your money, why are you thinking about buying a car?

>>16225129
get a xr6t now

the XT are a shit base and you basically have to do alot of work to get them anywhere near a stock xr6t

Just get a XR6T they are cheap and plentiful

Nobody cares as long as you don't take yourself too seriously man, and anyone who thinks you need an "enthusiast" car to be a car enthusiast is a moron.

Just bought brand new coilovers. Tried installing them but they didn't send me end links so I couldn't do the fronts.
The right rear coil over is knocking too even after checking everything was in the right position and tightening everything.

If anyone wants to buy off MCA suspension, be wary as they take ages to respond and now I have to deal with this shit.

>>16226109
An enthusiast isn't someone who just likes to put their foot down and redline their shit machine. It's someone who cares about cars, takes care of cars and does still have fun with them but doesn't drive a rust shitmachine that's been flogged every day of it's life. Driving fast doesn't mean you're enthusiastic about cars.

Take it to a mechanic. You're not legally allowed to do anything in regards to degassing and regassing. Usually pretty cheap too

if it was previously on whatever the old gas was (R34A?), you will need to reseal the entire system with all new O-rings etc as whatever the new gas is leaks easier

>>16226857
kill them first

>>16226845
Oh, sweet. I don't know too much about AE93's, but if it's anything like the AE82, I have a couple.

>Rust over the rear wheel arches
Common on pretty much all Toyotas of this era and earlier, dirt tends to build up on the inside of the wheel arch under the lip and the moisture eats away at the metal in the corners of the arch. If it's not too bad, you can pretty much ignore it, my AE82 has a little bit of rust and it hasn't spread in the two and a bit years that I've had it. If it's excessive, I'd give a miss, probably wouldn't pass rego if you're in a state that requires inspections.
>Vacuum spaghetti
16V 4A-GE's have a pretty basic ECU that doesn't do much but there's a lot of vacuum spaghetti in the engine bay. Watch out for leaky ones, they can sometimes be hard to find and might cause some idling problems.
>Cold idle
When you start the engine cold, it'll idle at 2000 RPM, maybe even above, for about five minutes. A lot of people get pretty alarmed by this, but both of my Twin Cams do this, and there's no point in trying to change it by changing the idle speed because it doesn't really have any bearing on how it behaves cold. They use an old school wax pellet thing that gets heated by a coolant line and closes off the cold idle air valve as it warms up.
>Fifth gear pop-out
C50 boxes are prone to having fifth pop out if they're old, when you put your foot down in fifth they just fall out of gear. Fifth in both of my Twin Cams rocks back and forth when you get on and off the throttle, but it still stays in gear. Take the car for a test drive on the highway or somewhere you can get up to speed, put it in fifth, press the throttle down, then immediately let off. The shifter will probably jump forward a bit... get back on the throttle and it might jump backward. If it moves more than about 2cm I'd probably give it a miss, or acknowledge that a new box might be on the books in the next year or so.

>>16226886
(cont.)
>Valve stem seals
Lot of people seem to have valve stem seals go bad around 300,000km... start up cold and it'll be a smoky tit of a thing until it burns off all the oil in the cylinder. My red Twin Cam did this, replaced the stem seals and it still did it so I'm unsure of what caused mine.
>Heat
When you go and look at it, make sure to take it for a drive, fully warm it up, and then let it sit for a while and see if it gets hot just sitting there. My white Twin Cam gets pretty toasty when it has no airflow over the radiator, would be worthwhile to make it doesn't overheat.
>Rotted bushings
Bushings will be bad on a car of this age if they haven't been replaced... I replaced a lot of mine with Whiteline bushings. Feels good.

With that said, those are probably the most specific things I can think of. Would be good if the owner were using Toyota Red coolant, 4A-GE's like it and it helps with corrosion. As with any other car, listen for tapping or knocking. I blew a head gasket on my white Seca, but I suspect that was due to previous owner crap, rebuilt the top end and it has been solid ever since, gets revved to 7k every second time I drive it and hasn't missed a beat aside from when I blew out a water gasket.

>>16226886
Alright, with the vacuum lines, are most of them easy to find and inspect? I know most cars have that one thing that is more difficult to work on then the rest, do you find most things easy to work on with the 4a-ge?

Also, know much about getting a little more out of the engine?

>>16226933
Many options for power usual head swaps to back or silver depending on just how rich you are.

Also turbo and superchargers are very common swaps

>>16226939
Go To Bed Hsp Its Way Past YoUr Bed Time

>>16226933
Haven't had to fix anything with the vacuum lines yet, no issues with mine. I just reckon it'd be a pain if something did come up though. I don't think the engine bay is that inaccessible as to make it impossible to diagnose faults though.

Most things are relatively easy to work on, there are some pain in the ass things. Replacing a water pump with the engine in the car sucks. Doing anything on the underside of the intake is pretty awful in FWD setup.

In terms of getting more out of it, easiest way is to strap a turbo on to it. There's not really much else that's particularly cost effective... like, it comes down to whether you can justify it or not. A good set of extractors and exhaust system would come to around a grand, maybe $1300, and that's nearing what the car itself is worth. If I were in your position and wanted more power on the cheap, first thing I'd do is get a set of 264 degree cams with way more lift, any more than 264 and the ECU will need to be replaced with an aftermarket model. That and just replace consumables, spark plugs, filters, run nice synthetic oil, etc.

No it wasn't mate, you claimed the Jeep was perfect and had no issues when you first posted about it. You even made a special case to mention the transmission being great after everyone memed about you wrecking transmissions.

Ironically I remember your first issue with the Jeep being the transmission fucking up.

All this. As long as you're not a cunt we don't care.
There's people with slow cars, fast cars, powerful and with no power. As long as you enjoy driving that's the important part.

Normally chat, drive, chat, drive, eat. etc. If you're slow, hang at the back when we're driving, fast, go towards the front. We don't race, just drive with vigor

Because most people now look at a car as an appliance. They get a car and drive it, expecting it to be the same everyday. So many of the friends I know from uni, who have degrees in a variety of fields and are generally considered by most to be intelligent have no fucking clue on basic vehicle servicing or inspection and it's frightening.

There needs to be some sort of vehicle inspection component put in place when you go for your licence.

A mandatory course on basic car maintenance and how to change a tire would be brilliant. It would probably hurt the mechanic trade heavily though.

Oh.. so you both have droopy long foreskins?

>>16232063
You wont find VE's in u-pullit. Parts availability is fine but the prices are below average in terms of affordability.

VE V6's are shit because lol timing chain so you're either going to have to go out of your way to find a low km model or find one with the chain recently replaced. However the v8 models are far more reliable and have an excellent drivetrain, but expect trim pieces to fall apart as with any aussie car

About everything has been requiring "experience in a similar position" or some kind of Forklift license.

>>16232103
they're ok. They start, drive, stop and wont break if you maintain them

Timing chains are the only notorious thing about them but thats long term maintenance. If youre only concerned about short term maintenance, they're fine for reliability

If thats the field you want to work, forklift license is piss easy to get. You would have to go out of your way to fail. It was something like $400 and you only have to renew it every 5 years

If you'relooking for work that pays better than a tradie but less than a uni degree tier qualified job, try looking for warehousing, storeman, production grader or packer

>>16232121
Don't have $400 to get the license now.

>>16232109
Well I just want them to work and not have any sudden expensive repairs. I assume pretty much any mechanic can work on them too right?

>>16232115
Yes but not fucking chrome

>>16232123
dunno what to tell you my man

When i applied for jobs that involved a forklift license, i wrote "license pending". If they skim read it all they see is forklift ticket on your resume. If they question you about it, fib a date and tell them you have experience

Once you get your first paycheck, then you can afford the license, and tell them you had to reschedule the training date, thats what i did

>>16232123

Foreskinanon here.. I have a way you could earn it.. :)

>>16232135
Let's hear it then, fag.

>>16232126
Ive never owned a VE, but im going to tell you now that any car ever will have unexplainable sudden failures of some variety

If you want reliability get a corolla, excel or lancer or something. Commonchodes dont exactly have a reputation for reliability in the general sense. I dont have a crystal ball that can go into the future and tell you whatever shitbox you buy is going to be 100% reliable or 90% reliable,

You seem pretty set in for a VE so just get what you want and deal with it. Why the big interest in ultra reliability?

>>16232130
I have trouble lying like that, confidence issues mostly. I wouldn't be able to fib it unless I actually HAD experience driving a fork lift.

Hey mates.

So my mum wants to give me 200,000 thousand from inheritance she received. What should I do with it? I'm really set on property. Buy shitty old house, build units on them and sell.

How can I learn more about this and what I want to accomplish? cheers bruhs

Melb if it matters..

I only earn 40k a year and got 50k of my own savings

>>16232224

Stick it in a term deposit.

>>16232227
I thought about that but it'll only be like 8 grand a year max bruh and thats off a 5 year term deposit

doesn't really seem worth it

but then again im frightened of the idea the builders fucking up something or going over budget and issues arrising or market dying etc

yet i see so many units getting build on one property

seems like nows the time? idk shit though im just guessing if someone can please recommend on what I should read up to learn about this ill be greatful : )

Most public tables have pretty low limits, probably struggling to find one with more than 5k for outsides.

forget it, you need 10x that to really do anything

do the normie thing and use it to buy a place to live in (so you've got fuck-all mortgage and can pay it out quick then put your shekels to work elsewhere)

or invest it where it can make you money over the long term in ETFs or some shit - 200k could make you a few thousand a year in dividends so it's a great start towards building up something serious (reinvest those, kick in as much of your own money as you can, 500k in a few years and it only accelerates from there)

also was leaving bunbury today and heard sirens, scared the fuck outta me, till i saw the ambo's.
the kid on the moped enjoyed my scared full throttle reaction tho

>>16232683
I've always wondered, do people go 'camera hunting' from time to time and damage/destroy known speed cameras? I know they're built pretty tough, but this is Australia after all.

>>16233902
I reckon it'd be un-Australian not to bust it up.

>>16233902
It's what people in Holland do, they really hate speed cameras and the average person destroys every one that can see. I'm surprised Aussies don't do it desu since we hate them just as much.

>>16234627
I reckon if a trend if it started we'd get more if it happening, but the average bloke can't be fucked going after a camera on the motorway sitting at the top of a 4 metre steel pole.

Back when they left unattended vans on roads to tag cunts those would get blocked or busted.

>>16233902
There's one on Delhi Rd in Lane Cove that when it got put up, someone kept burning it (usually with an old tire and petrol) until they put up a security camera to watch it.

>>16234706
The Dutch actually pull off to the side and still do it even on the freeways. They REALLY hate those cameras.

When you cunts got off your P's how'd you manage? There are so many things I want to pick up, but at most I'd be able to manage two vehicles.

>>16234749
Figure out what you're looking for and prioritise the list.

Any other ausfags watch this?

JUST

TL:DR bought 2 new rims for no reason and have 2 spare tyres and rims

>>16236324
Well what the fuck are you waiting for? Where's the skid vid?

>>16236406
i dont have anyone to hold the camera :(

got a set of 4 stockies i'd rather roast

>>16236419
Do it from the dashcam
Or put your phone in a cradle and record like that
Or tape it to your wing mirror
Or your rear view

Or just get a video camera, put it in a nearby tree, record and collect
