R34 Gtr V Spec Ii Engine
MLCrisis replied to MLCrisis's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Just in case anyone is confused - I am putting the Nismo crate motor with the V-cam into my car. The standard R34 GTR V Spec II motor is for sale! Cheers. -

Thanks, mate. I will see how it goes and in the meantime, prepare a price for the bare motor. Obviously I would prefer to sell it as a package. Cheers. -
R34 Gtr V Spec Ii Engine
MLCrisis replied to MLCrisis's topic in For Sale (Private Car Parts and Accessories)
Short version - it's a Nismo crate R34 GTR N1 motor, with HKS V-Cam and all the trimmings. The whole deal is being managed for me by Imports 101, who imported the R32 from Japan earlier this year. The bits that won't fit, I am selling. The workshop is keeping the rest of the R32. Cheers. -
ATS carbon Twin-plate clutch - almost new - $1,800 - R32 or R33 GTR. Pull style (conversion to push style available.) Koyo Aluminium Radiator - R32 GTR Excellent condition - $440. I am upgrading my R34 GTR V Spec II with a monster motor taken from an R32 GTR (short version - it's a Nismo crate R34 GTR N1 motor, with HKS V-Cam and all the trimmings). The whole deal is being managed for me by a well-known and respected Perth-based workshop, who imported the R32 from Japan earlier this year. The bits that won't fit, I am selling. The workshop is keeping the rest of the R32. The ATS Clutch - Details: NOTE: Push style conversion kits available for all GTR models. This particular clutch has been fitted with near new carbon plates that are in excellent condition. The plates both measure 90% of their original thickness (see photo). The advantages of carbon clutches are- * Shift response (due to lightweight materials) * Heat Resistance (Up to 2000 degrees C) * Deformation resistance. * Ease of operation. * Up to 30% higher transfer capacity than a "metal" clutch. * Due to the characteristics of carbon, the clutch has a very long life. Can be shipped inter-state at buyer's expense. Fitting can be arranged in W.A. at the workshop where it is currently stored. Radiator details - Koyo radiator. Very clean. See pics. Nothing more to say really! Again, please don't post telling me you can buy similar for less. These things are barely used. Independent inspections welcome. Cheers.

I am selling the engine from my R34 GTR V Spec II. I am upgrading to a monster motor. This engine has travelled 55,000 km's and will be sold complete from intake plenum to dump pipes. It is immaculate, as I have looked after it fastidiously - as those of you who have seen the car at AutoSalon and elsewhere will know! History: I imported the car from Japan in early 2007 via a well-known Perth-based import specialist. They did all the compliancing and subsequent servicing. The service history is all logged and receipts/dates and reports will be provided to validate condition. The engine was serviced every 5000 km's and only the best oils and lubricants were used. Engine comes with: Injectors Coil packs Turbos Steel dumps R34 Crank angle sensor (will be modified by the workshop to suit earlier model if required) All engine pipework Fuel rail and pressure reg Nismo Oil cap The engine is currently stored at the workshop, who will guarantee its condition to any buyer. The workshop can provide fitting service to buyers from Perth. Shipping inter-state can be arranged at buyer's expense. Price: $8,800. Please don't post telling me you can buy a wrecker from an R32 of unknown origin for heaps less. This is a good price for a known history engine that is absolutely immaculate. Independent inspections welcome. Cheers.

I think you are missing something regarding the production sharing agreement between Australian refineries, mate. The bulk of fuel sold in WA is produced at the BP refinery at Kwinana - no matter what the badge on it. There may be some stuff bought off the spot market, and so produced in Singapore, but not that much. Unless Kwinana shut down when I wasn't looking! And, yes, 98 octane is 98 octane. How the particular fuel makes 98 octane may differ, but the outcome is the same. And there are many threads on which fuel is best and so on, which explain some things about the way the refineries share production. Cheers.

If you want one as part of oil management for your RB engine, then speak to Danny at Imports 101. I am having one fitted at the moment which is plumbed back into the intake and drains into the sump. (In fact, the system on mine has a second catch can, for various reasons, before the connection to the air intake.) Danny has done a lot of work on oil management on RB engines and can give you more than just a catch can that you have to manually drain every now and then. It ain't cheap, but do you want a quality system that works or some plastic pipe and a shiny pot that just fills up with oil? Cheers.

Mr. Tetchy! LOL! I absoltuly suport u wif ur corz, Mike. Seems like you may be joining me in another cause that is pushing sh#t uphill!! Hi from Singapore (again). Meanwhile, on topic ... .... ..... ..... I hate shopping centre car parks. Especially the ones with really narrow parking spaces. The choice is: park out of the way so that you get an end spot and can put as much space between you and the one neighbouring - thus leaving yourself open to attention from the scumbags of this world; or park in a busy area, minimising scumbag attention, but maximising pillocks opening their door into your car!!! Solution - small kids! Can I borrow any? Cheers.
-
Thanks for the support, guys. That is what I want. Cheers.
-
Thank heavens! That article brings a breath of fresh air into this whole debate. And the wonderful people who have added their comments ... ... ... .. I can rest easy in my bed knowing that they will shortly decide whether or not we keep daylight saving in our wonderful, go-ahead State. Hurrah for democracy.

Thanks for the input, mate. The second post was definitely more of what I am looking for. Please keep a note of date, time, etc., as best you can, in case we need more details in the future. Cheers.
-
Thanks, guys. Your sentiments are appreciated. This is a difficult topic to keep on track, as illustrated by the experience elsewhere! Thanks for the help. Cheers.

I completely agree. Please bear in mind that I am looking for good experiences as well as bad. I am sure that more than a few cops are reasonable with their discretion in applying the hoon laws. My concern is that the hoon laws allow too much discretion to the cops and they are then unjustly applied in some cases. If all is good with you guys, then that is great! Cheers.

There is no doubt that this is a big undertaking, but we have to start somewhere. I take your point about unsubstantiated evidence. Anything from here will just be hearsay. But once we have built up a body of contacts, we can then look to getting stat decs or whatever. There are already a few lawyers that I know of who are unhappy with these laws. As the body of evidence/hearsay grows, we should be able to persuade more members of the legal profession and even some journos that there is an issue here. Back in the UK in the late '70s and early '80s, there was a stop and search law that was being abused by some cops. It was leading to confrontation and clear injustices, mainly on the young and mainly on non-caucasians. Eventually a ground swell of opinion in the legal and journalistic professions forced change. This is the model I am following. It took several years to achieve then. It will take that here too. Regarding the differences between each state, that is an issue. What it means is that each state must manage their own evidence and their own details. But we need liaison between the states, because each state's politicians will be reluctant to move out of step with the other states. So, not an easy undertaking and I am open to ideas and suggestions of how else to approach it. Thanks for your input. Cheers.

I understand your anger and sympathise with your loss, but you have not read what I said. I am not fighting for an endless right to hoon. Far from it. I believe that those who drive irresponsibly should be punished appropriately. My point is that through the hoon laws the punishment does not fit the crime. There are more than adequate laws and punishments for reckless driving, careless driving and even for causing death by dangerous driving. The hoon laws add nothing to these, except to allow cops huge discretion in applying disproportionate punishment for people who commit, in the main, anti-social acts. Screeching your tyres when taking off from a junction is rather different from doing a massive burnout. In the former, you may annoy a few people, in the latter you could lose control and kill someone. Fining someone $30,000, i.e. by permanently confiscating their car, for three anti-social acts is ridiculous. Particularly when recidivist drunk drivers are fined no more than $5,000! I am not seeking open slather for hoons. I am seeking to get bad law changed. Bad law undermines the legal system and those who enforce it. Politicians who implement bad law are failing to do their duty in ensuring the legal system is sound and has the support of the public. The hysteria surrounding hoons has allowed them to implement populist measures that are bad law. If we let that continue, the numbers of people alienated by injustice will grow and the support for the legal system and the cops will diminish. So I offer my condolences for your loss, but read what I have said! Spot on, mate. Cheers.

Thanks, mate. Done!
-
Well if you don't, you will get them soon! So just give us your experiences of dealing with the cops. Cheers.

Hi, all. You all know about the issues we have with the "Hoon Laws". Now is your chance to do something about them. This thread is for Tassie to gather information about the practice of the hoon laws in your state. This is what I said in the similar thread, now a sticky, in WA: I believe that the "hoon" laws are badly drafted and give the police far too much power. They are bad law! There are sufficient laws without them. The rules of evidence are also being seriously diluted by pursuing convictions on the word of members of the public. Little old ladies phoning up to say "he was going very fast" should not constitute sufficient evidence. Hopefully it does not, but we shall see. Populist measures are too easy for politicians, but by implementing such poorly thought out laws those politicians fail to do their duty to ensure that the laws they enact are sound. If they are not sound, they bring the whole system into disrespute. More particularly, they place the Police in the impossible position of applying those laws in an impartial manner, when their human frailty means falling short is inevitable. Hence, they themselves become undermined by the very position that these laws put them into. I would like to compile evidence of the hoon laws in practice. So if you know of poor application of the law, inappropriate actions by police using the hoon laws, the use of questionnable evidence, or similar, please let me know via this thread and/or pm. Please only first hand experience - not "I know a bloke, who's mate's girfriend's brother". If we compile sufficient evidence, I intend to put a submission to the Government to change the law. Let the punishment fit the crime! If anyone else has experiences they are prepared to share, please add them on. Good experiences as well as bad. If you were done fair and square, then please say so. If the policeman was reasonable in his/her behaviour, please say so. If they were aggressive and overbearing, let us know. If you were aggressive and disrespectful, let us know. Best to have basic facts here and more detail in a pm. Thanks everyone. Please note that I am not knocking the Police, they do a hard job that not many people would do. But a badly framed law allows them to overstep their real powers and some of them will use it - because they are not all saints! So there you go. We need good data to support our argument. We need information in each state to fight this, as no state government will want to go it alone in repealing them. Please be careful in what you post. This is not intended to be a thread for you to rant or argue. It is to gather facts. Thanks guys. Go to it!! Cheers.
