I have mine off completely, with the little bat's ears. I think it looks choice! the other day I saw someone who had done the same........ grrr..... now I feel less special and unique.

my biggest gripe with the 'proposed changes' i.e. abolition of the 15 year rule is that it will stop the importation of some very unique and interesting cars. whilst this thread has focused on a lot of the cars which are already imported, the fact is that some of the most interesting and attractive vehicles are those which are just or are just becoming available to people for the first time - and for which compliance under the RAWS scheme will not ever be made available (due mostly to cost, but also because of power requirements). these are the unique cars such as the Cimas, Leopards, Cedrics, cefiros, Q45s, presidents, glorias, laurels, and centurys to name a few. many of these are cult cars in their own rights and HAVE been well looked after, and for which good examples do command high prices. in addition, there are a number of exotics, such as the Lancia Delta Integrales which will become nigh on impossible to own. whilst it is true that there are (very limited) downsides to an influx of cheap r32 GTRs, anyone who has tried to buy a GTR lately - and flown across the continent to do it - can attest to the fact that there are no 1000s of them around the place!! It would be a real shame to have the fantastic cars, many of which form the basis for the racing and "styling" heritage which helped shape the modern "raws" imports be restricted for another 15 years or worse.

cam - apparently theyve modified it recently, and now it's full of cars!!!

I'm a bit confused...... the Trueno GT Apex haz a 4agze right? supercharged 1.6? so the 4AGE is the slightly smaller brother? nice car btw. anyone who has seen drift bible would attest to the fact that these are a cult car for a reason. how bloody excited does he get when he hops in that after being in all the S1X platforms!?

went for a nice road trip lasst weekend, including some nice driving through the wine region and the SW in general. Reckon it'd be nice to head down south and do an SAU weekender?

hahaha. the best solution would be to turn off... "I'm not a pacifist, I just pass on fists" well, mostly.

hmmm... I'm a bit dubious about that. I think novus fuxxed putting the seal on my windscreen back in properly...

soryy couldnt make it Jase - was down in busso on the 'kend. didnt get back until late yesterday.

I was thinking more in terms of a/m stuff - and really more in terms of expertise than of parts. obviously the Aust delivered factor is gonna greatly improve avail. of factory parts items. Like I said, I dont pretend to know the answer, but that's one of the bigger things I'd be concerned about. who in perth deals with evos on a regular basis?

you're doomed to get a biased set of answers here.... one way to think of it is who will be doing the work on it, and at what level of experience/cost/parts availability will any modifications be done? the evo is an apparently an awesome car, and seems underrated. but I don't know whether the evo would enjoy the same level of experienced tuning and parts availability at reasonable cost that the GTR would....?

sweet! riaz, I'll have to grab them off you next week - I'm headed down south early this arvo, but I'll be back on monday.

kym, try ringing around some picture framers. they occassionally work in perspex and may beable to custom cut something for you..... a new second hand cluster is waaay bad for the budget conscious.

oh oh... :Oops: that sounds like spensive.

tell me more, tell me more...

bwahahaha! Grease Megamix! ah wellowellowelllo WELL!

Riaz, buddy, you never said you wanted only $50 for those. If JMP doesnt want them I'll come round and pick em up tonight.

ooh. I thought there'd be more EL one-colourness. but these are nice too. :claps:

lol. I had the same thing happen this morning...apart from the GF thing and the verbal abuse. driving the mighty red skyline (83 R30 2.4E, thanks cam!) to work, and some guy featuring an evil nasty slick back doo in a morone S1 33 with 18s and no other visible mods (stock exhaust an' all) got all stroppy when I pulled up along side him on graham farmer. looked at me and pedal powered it. I was soo turned *ooooooN* by his breathless 180 odd rwhp. then a commercial van roared past him at about 120 and I giggled. I see the car around vic park all the time.....and vengeance will be mine. *oh yes, it will be miine*

Q2: how old is this piccy (pre rb26?) and who won?

as long as it's wheelspin it'd be ok. it's under traction that 3rd gear would be munched - or the teeth just stripped clean off. the obvious question I was wondering is whether the drive system was holding out, but it seems everyone rates the 25 boxes almost to the same standard as the gtr. had any clutch/diff issues? you're running a twin plate arent you sean?

from all reports, most of the gauges are in, and will be installed this weekend. I wont be there - and will pick mine up later. I beleive Jase actually may have a set - and was intending to post pics of them to spur the interest on.......

I personally think people underestimate the effectiveness of a lightened flywheel.. *thinks back to the nissan micra super turbo on GT2 and the difference it made when he lightened the fly* granted, that was a puter sim, but a lightened fly would make a hell of a difference.

congrats! you're running standard rb20 box and driveline with nittos right?

I dont really think revs times are that crazy? he had 170 hp, with a lightened flywheel and reasonably soft (deflated) rubber. granted, it was on thin tyres, but Ive read of quite a few people getting those sorts of times with similar power.
