It'll take a couple of days for the order to be filled, and then its just a matter of me sending them out or you guys picking it up from me (depending on how you want to do it).

altho blind elk's car (R32 GTS4 with RB25DET froma stagea) is proof that it is possible... I've costed the whole thing up (down to sourcing and shipping a Laurel halfcut in one of our containers, and doing most of the engine swap work myself) and even at minimal cost, it was far easier and cheaper to get rid of the GTS4 and buy a GTR. You have to remember that Stagea or Laurel engines (ie AWD RB25DET's) don't have aftermaket tuning support like power FC's etc. Also R32 RB20DET's share a lot more with RB26DETT's than they do with RB25's as they were both designed around the same time (ie with injector positioning etc). So naturally the logical thing to do is to put an RB26 in if you're gonna do an engine swap. The ENR33 has similar gear ratios to a NC34 (stagea or laurel AWD RB25DET), wheras the BNR32 and HNR32 have different ratios again. So at the end of the day I strapped a HKS2530 to my RB20DET, and enjoy my GTS4 for what it is, a fun getaround car that can switch from AWD to RWD at the flick of a switch. If you want a powerful AWD car... buy a GTR, if you live in teh snow and want something that won't bog down, buy an R33 GTS4. To answer your Q's: Question 1: Yes Question 2: Yes Question 3: around 3k minimum, 6k if you don't have a workshop and work for an import company Question 4: not any more than a more easier and cheaper RB25DET powered R32 GTSt. R32 AWD is about as useful as tits on a bull, unless you're into drag racing and towing stuff.

thought it was just me being hungry. plus it went away after I ate something... so the thought of it being an earthquake didn't occur to me.

uhhh... looks like the standard carpet under your seats? http://www.knoxautocarpets.com.au here's the standard colours they do: http://www.knoxautocarpets.com.au/colours.htm and the funky colours they do:

bought mine secondhand off yahoo auctions for $80 delivered. Chucked it on my N/A RB20DE with a "race pipe" (no need to worry about ceramic turbines) and scared the ba-jeezus out of everyone when the clutch got dumped. It now resides on a CA18DET in an actual race car, so its sorta well suited. Which reminds me, there's different Rev Limiters for different engines, RB and CA are the same though. If you hook the handbrake signal cable up, then you can dial in 2 different max RPM's before cutting ignition. Really good for drag racing, sorta pointless on the track.

Bollocks. Chasers are just run of the mill family sedans. They'll drift with some suspension work. Chasers got a 1JZ from memory, wheras Aristo's got the 2JZ (incidentally Aristo's came with the 2JZ BEFORE the supra's ... so in fact the Supra is a 2 door coupe with an Aristo engine if you wanna get picky).

for those that want me to post em... $1.30 per packet and $5.00 anywhere in Australia. I'll start sending out PM's to those that expressed interest with payment etc in the next 24 hours.

I know a couple of Hyundai engines that make up to 10,000kW http://www.hyundai-engine.com

quite fitting if you ask me

damn craig's quick out of the blocks... see you tomorrow then

Hey Jason! Good to see your beast on the road. LOL might have to convince Craig to come by in his Aristo to take a pic next to yours. He loves teh Aristo's (as do most of the boys at J-Spec). The VIPBOY Aristoid is identical to yours except I think you've got factory cupholders and a sunroof.

http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/8169 We just sold this red one to a dude up in NT for 34k... bargain of the century for an Evo 8 MR. So when are you gonna refinance your mortgage?

recieved payment from blindsay and shoei. still waiting on TurboX and ducki's payments. I'll give it another 24 hours before putting the order in, coz otherwise its holding up people who have already paid. Andy if you can make payment before tomorrow then yeah I can fit you in. I'll PM you payment details in a sec. Fugi, unfortunately you're the only one who seems to be keen at this time... once the kit GB is over then I'll put up one for Amps n stuff that you can get in on.

got quoted $120 for standard R32 plush moulded carpet in I think about 8 different colours from a place in South East melb. They make em on the spot using moulds they've got... takes em about 15 mins to make one.

Group fitment of R32 door hinges?

if I was a P plater with oodles of money I'd buy a Chrysler 300 or a Mazda RX8. They're locally sold, so cheap on the insurance, you can get finance on them etc etc.

the group tag's being fixed atm. as for the issues... ummm should ask the PranKstanator.

"Type M" is a package that ws offered by nissan on top of the base car. What its made up of and how many cars got it was totally dependant on the dealers at the time and the people buying em. I wouldn't pay much attention to it... esp since most (and according to some... all) R33 GTSt's seem to be Type M's. Although there are some dyslexic people tend think they own an R33 GTSt M Spec... instead of a Type M. The M Spec was an R34 GTR variant that was the luxury pack with leather seats standard and all that jazz.

No worries geoff.... but why on god's green earth do you want an RX8 HyperRev? Is it to go with your silk scarf and fluffy slippers? lol yeah I was looking for that too for my ceffy. I guess I'll have to get some parts out of the Skyline one, and some parts out of the Silvia one. There's a few Chaser and Mark II ones tho

I have a pair of R32 GTR rims on the front of my car you can borrow as long as you replace em with something else in the meantime so I can still drive the car I just passed roadworthy/rego about a week and a bit ago with em on.

No I meant that most non accident damaged 180sx (ie eligible for SEVS) haven't been drifted or thrashed. Depending on the compliancer and engineer involved, even something like a repaired rear fender could fail compliance. lol i should have put a comma in there to break it up.

Yeah the sales guys do get that from time to time, but we've given quotes and in some instances spoken to the bank etc where they need something solid to approve the loan. Some banks are hesitant to give loans to purchase cars that aren't in the country for some reason

wow so Japan's the only place where having dark skin dosen't get you laid?

32 doors are heavy mofos. I wouldn't wanna think of the wear and tear those hinges will go through. If you're buying one off a rice shop, make sure its suited to the R32 door, and not a generic one that you can fit onto VTEC yo civics and lancers. Plus they look ghey with aids. The yellow one looks borderline OK, but nothing special.

Man that looks horn. Bet you enjoyed every minute of that drive too!
