Hi Graham,

Welcome buddy, It's good to see a senior serious about their U13

.

Budgie · « **Reply #213 on:** Aug 13, 2007, 08:10AM »

Welcome Graham.

Thats alot of mods on a HNU13

PPG box is the clincher for me, its got the power but also the tough gearbox to hold it down.

With regards to the engine block, is that block tag '78e' differant to other east/west SR20DET's other than the GTiR? Could you use any SR block in good condition?

20vgs · « **Reply #214 on:** Aug 13, 2007, 08:36PM »

hello budgie,thanks for the welcome. unfortunately it must be only 78e block with attesa.the gearbox/transfer case are different to all the other f.w.d sr20s.regards graham

Hi guys, I've got a u12 Pintara GLI hatch. I like it. It is comfy, grunty for a 2 litre, economical and roomy. It also has a habit of gassing me, not giving me any idea of the engine temp, fuel level or odo reading.

However, it does praise my driving with the ECM (Extremely Competent Maneuver) light, every day.

Glad I found you.

Thought i should finally post a pic up of my car. Still a bit of work to be done.
Hope it works.

(sorry if its a bit big)

Budgie · « **Reply #218 on:** Aug 22, 2007, 09:42PM »

You've got a nice mix of import U12 parts on the front end of your car stretch.

EDIT- Just looked at your photo-bucket. The back end looks like a bluebird bar and thats definitely an import rear spoiler. I realise it would have been ages ago, but ask your brother where he got those parts from.

My list for it (external looks) might look something like this...

- Remove pin-striping (fingers nails work a treat, grow one longer, use it then cut it off

)
- Repaint SSS grille and surround
- Colour code front and rear bumpers white, leave rubbing strip black
- Tint cornering lights
- Clear front indicators
- Dark as possible window tint
- Pintara Ti chrome door handles

And maybe lowered a touch more.

stretch · « **Reply #219 on:** Aug 22, 2007, 09:59PM »

Ha, yeah way ahead of you on the one long finger nail (long story). I had to take the lowered springs out for the road worthy and I'm respraying all the bumpers and the grille when i get some new head lights and corner lights. The whole car needs a good days work put into it.

Yeah he got them from a wreckers here in Bendigo in about 2001 and traded his old bumpers and grille for them. I will get some more details for you when he gets home.

What the hell is with country wreckers having import U12's!!!

There WAS one in ballarat as well, but not much left of it now.

PM me if your bro mentions any details when he gets home stretch. Cheers mate.

Central auto dismantlers, had been there for a while when my ex's uncle went to check it out for me.

Was an auto HNU12 I belive. Go there Fuzz, take some pics for us all and post up. There may be some stuff still left thats useful to import U12 owners... (rear sub-frame, prop shaft, etc) as I'm not sure, never saw the car with my own eyes.

FuzzyDropbear · « **Reply #223 on:** Aug 22, 2007, 10:48PM »

Ooo, if that was Central Motor Wreckers (only one like it I could find in Ballarat on the internet) then I will go tomorrow! I can call past on my way home.

If it's not central motor wreckers just give me an address and I'll call around.

Cheers,

Rob

FuzzyDropbear · « **Reply #224 on:** Aug 28, 2007, 11:33AM »

Hey Budge-man,

Sorry for the delay in replying. The wreckers were pretty useless, they say that they don't have any import U12's in their yard. That's what they SAY, they could actually have one out the back and not know it is there.

Cheers,

Rob

Hey everyone, my names matt and in in adelaide. ive got a 91 ford corsair with a 2L in it. its in good condition generally. had it for a couple yrs now. got it for a steal and only had 96000km on it when i brought it. now has 118000km and is still going strong! bullitproof! its basically stock, but i only got off my p's a couple months ago so didnt want any more attention by the abundence of cops around adeladie (esp fri sat nites!). ive put a stereo in though, just some 6 inch sony speakers in the parcel shelf and a sony headunit. its good enough for the time being. eventually when i get the money i want to put extracters and a nice exhaust system on it as well as some nice mags...
great site and some awesome rides on here...wish i had a trx though!
cheers

G'day Matt,

Welcome to the forums! You got any pics of your ride?

Sounds like you have a nice setup there. You should get one of those fandangled ANTRX chips for your CA and she'll be hammering her way through Texas. Nah, seriously, people reckon they're good. I'm gunna get one for my KA when I can spare the money.

Cheers, enjoy your stay,

Rob
