  11. Hi guys, Curious to know if RB26DETT 440cc injectors with a ballast resistor installed on an RB20DET would effect the way a AP engineering Power FC ECU would function?
  12. Do not leave your keys somewhere on the cars exterior (eg, hidden) or on the beach. A good friend of mine had his car stolen this way. Scum will actually follow you down the beach and watch where you stash them. I usually leave the keypad hidden somewhere inside the car, and strap the key inside my pocket (most surfie brand pants have a key string).
  13. Rust comes down to how long it's been sitting in the snow/salt and care of the previous owner. I'm sure the few months in the holding yard shouldn't be to harsh on the body work and undercarrige. Looks like a really neat GT-R. Hope all goes well for you mate.
  14. Prior to purchase of the GT-R I was able to view and rely on the following information stated on the vehicle's description web page: "Condition notes: Body is in very good condition with no blemishes to note. Interior is also in very good condition. Test driven by the supplier who reports that it runs well and appears in be in very good condition all round." I am absolutely disgraced that a clutch can be rendered undrivable due to transportation. This raises many questions in my head of how badly has my car been treated in Japan to destroy a 'working' clutch on a car that runs well and appears to be in very good condition all round? I purchased the car SUBJECT to it being in working mechanical order, now it is not. But anyways, It'll be me that looses out. I'll end up having to pay for it. Lesson learnt the costly way. I'll keep you guys posted on my import status and how this issue is handled and resolved by both the Supplier and Broker involved. Thank you, Lyndon
  15. Hi guys, 4 Months ago I paid for a R32 GT-R to be imported through a well known import broker which I will not name at present. I am currently waiting for a spot on the Kawasaki - Fremantle boat. As a result of not being able to get in contact with my broker (due to easter holidays), Yesterday I decided to write a letter directly to the contact in Japan, asking him if my car will make this months boat, he replied to me with this letter: "Hello, apologies for delay in reply. I have been advised by the shipping company that your vehicle could not be shipped due to the fact that the clutch was slipping. I'm not sure what happened to the vehicle on it's journey down from Hokkaido to Tokyo but the clutch was fine when it left my premises. Anyway, to avoid your car being forklifted onto the ship and sent down to Australia (which will cause damage to the undercarriage) i suggest that we try and fix the problem and ship the vehicle once the repairs are finalised. Please let me know your thoughts and i will act upon your wishes. Regards, name withheld" Firstly I am puzzled as to how a perfectly working clutch can become totally damaged to the extent that it is unable to be driven onto a boat within the period. I have spoken to the import broker and he has informed me that it is my responsibility to pay for the clutch repair/replacement. The contact in Japan has obviously passed ownership of the problem to me. This does not seem right to me, as I purchased the car subject to it being in sound mechanical order as per my reason for paying a broker $1100 (to ensure that the car is in working order which it is not). I appear to be left with very few options other than fork out the fold. The last thing I want is a damaged chassis due to fork lifting. This is not a good feeling right now. Any thoughts?
  16. So funny! hahaha "The problem I see with running around or kicking / flailing your legs is the potential for one of the little carcasses strewn about the room to get caught up in your legs. Inevitably, when this happens, the likelihood of a serious ACL or MCL injury is increased. To avoid this undesirable situation I would most likely fight my way to an edge of the room, and essentially back up near a wall. By doing this I could guarantee that none of the buggers could get behind me and cause damage to my knees. Also, the proximity to the wall would afford you the opportunity to bash the anklebiters' heads against the wall one at a time until they are neutralized. " Yeah I think around 30 is realistic.
  17. Just wondering what is the maximum speed (safety margin prior to delamination) is that can be clocked on steel radials (eg 225/50's)? Or is the speed rating dependant on manufacture/model of tyre? Any recommendations on good high speed tyre's?
  18. Hey guys, I thought the VG30DETT Z32 6pin orange AFM's were 76mm?
  19. My GF is really good company and quite technically knowledgeable when it comes to chatting about performance cars. She kept me company through my previous R32 GTS-t engine swap and kindly bought me out sandwiches and cold drinks daily She previously owned an R33 GTS25t, sadly wrote it off.... Drifting (can't say I know to many girls that like stepping out sideways at 80km/hr) :Oops: But yeah, I think many girls these days are pretty switched on with cars and that's a great thing for us guys. Be interesting when I give her a wrap in the R
