1x everything MINES has to offer please and if you can, a couple of vspec 34s

aristos may be my next car in the near future

Im also part of the daily driven gtr club even though my coilovers are so damn stiff they absorb nothing its still pretty easy to drive.

power wise both should be the same, im guessing he did it because its a newer engine then getting a 32 engine.

Nice 34 front conversion as well.... HOT

Hey ish I actually went the other way by going 99 wrx to a 32 gtr lol. To me i personally think the wrx is a great everyday car and stock engine and turbo can handle quite alot without needing any supporting mods, i ran 17-18 psi everyday on stock turbo and cooler for a year and it was great. Going to a GTR on the other hand i feel its more of a track car and its abit harsh for everyday driving but performance and power feels more solid in the rb then the ej. Handling i reckon both to their own, but to note the wrx does understeer quite alot. Just go test drive a good example of a wrx and see what you feel. hope that helps ken

just to clarify, i asked him whether the new engine needed a mod plate and he replied saying that his mechanic said a mod plate is not needed if its still the same engine type (rb26dett). But the engine i beleive is from a 96 r33, is what his mechanic saying true? or a mod plate is definately needed? thanks again guys

thanks, ill let the seller know. Is it wise to try and get him to get the mod plate done or is it easy enough for me to get it done? by the way, you guys have been very helpful. Hopefully ill be wrx > GTR convert.

The engine has been changed, will i have problems with that during inspection? Also is there anyone i can ring to check whether the car is truly complianced or not? and who should i ring to confirm that i do not need a mod plate or personal import plate since the car was imported under the old scheme, so i wont have any troubles when i do take the car in for inspection. thanks alot ken

Thanks guys, when i went to check out the car, the engine bay did not have a compliance plate but a engraved/stamped compliance number on the driver side strut arear. I found that weird so i rang dotars in regards to the car and they said i was imported under the old scheme where a compliance plate was not required. And dotars was also helpful to give me the import approval number for the car. Ringing QLD transport on the other hand was a pain, but they just told me to bring the car into a service place and they will inspect the car and issue a mod plate. THEN i will have to fax some papers to melb to apply for a personal import plate, after that then i will be able to register the car. they emphasised on the fact that the car needed a mod plate before it can touch the road at all. Is everything mentioned true? thanks

i am in QLD and about to buy a car thats been complied but never registered in aus, i rang up qld transport and they said that the car needs a mod plate (waiting on seller's reply if it has one) then after a mod plate is done, i need to apply for a personal import plate. Reason for asking is that i researched around and some states may not require a mod plate (correct me if im wrong). And QLD requirements seem to be more complicated. thanks

thanks
