Just picked up the car, and works like a charm. Ended up getting a brand new Bosch BXN1231 fitted for $400 from High Auto Electrical Service (27 Hope St Ermington 2115 NSW... 02 9874 4135). The BXN1231 is what came on late model VL's and R31's, the earlier models came with the same Hitachi LR180705B... which is the same as the one on the cef. So it wasn't much hassle to change to the Bosch one, which comes with a one year australia wide warranty. Urgh. Old man's insistance on fitting brand new parts as replacement sometimes amazes me. If it was me I'd have just chucked in a secondhand R31 unit for $50 in the backyard with a 12mm.

sif black guys know shit about being resurrected anyways... i mean like that jesus bloke was resurrected and he didn't stick around for long.

yeah just made to look like a GTR with the wheels n bumper.

lol its an AE86. i told my old man that I bought a 1983 corolla and he went off his nut at me for wasting money on an old corolla when he had just finished selling a perfectly good 1994 corolla. *sigh* Its like curry's that drive Lexus IS200's. Do you really wanna break it to em that they just have a camry with leather seats and that they really aren't breaking the stereotype?

i have a 1983 corolla.

rofl... i remember a time when owning an S13 Silvia was frowned on because only FOB's drove em. that was back in the day when I drove a 180sx with an S15 frontend and had em all convinced it was the "hatchback version of the 200sx".

ahah... i see shivam checkin out the thread too...

a curry drivin around in an R33 blasting 2pac. great. i forsee waving at 90% of melbourne's slightly tanned population.

17's - Koya Drift-tek (OMGGGGG DRIFT LOOK!) 18's - Starcorp Impul (OMGGGGG DISHHHHHH) go on... jump on the bandwagon... you know you want to. Its cheaper that way.

won't need the hand controller, no.

lol... I will personally see to it that whoever damages my old baby gets banned from SAU

topic reopened seeing as all the other states are doin it.

how's that for customer service... I initially rang Just Jap as well to see if they could help me out while chasing prices on an alternator. They just called me to find out how I went and to see if I needed anything else. I'll have to pop in and see em now... they sound like a good bunch.

and 11ty billion dollars cash adjustment my way.

fark... i got 2 oil filler caps too! score! lol someone should have a word to them about their odd way of saying "item not available".

ewwww

you can get rear guard skins for R32's that go on top of factory ones that make it look identical to GTRs. the only reason I'd make a GTS4 the same as a GTR was if it was a 4 door... so you had a GTR sedan. throw in an auto gearbox and you'll have em all stumped.

i are championing in memory game and snakey game!

you owe me drunkan... plus its raining outside and I have no car to play with as they're all at various workshops around the country.

ever tried owning a car with black carpet? lets just say it only stays black for the first 24 hours you own it. it attracts and shows off dust and dirt like no tomorrow. grey is a happy medium, dark carpet, less dirt visibility.

yeah stagea, laurel or gloria AWD RB25DET's are relatively easy to install (or a regular RB25 with an RB26 sump which you can get off anyone putting an RB26 into a RWD car for peanuts and the stock GTS4 front diff) but then you have the problem of needing a totally new ECU system like a Wolf or Motec for tunability, or settling for a stock ECU.

might seem like a dumb question, but how much payload can it lift?

not in all states. In WA you can have em made by licensed shops from memory. These could also just be novelty plates. anyways... ban threat still stands

bollox... might just dyno my dad's ceffy then

Tell u on monday morning when i've got the bill exactly how much it cost. It was thru a local auto elec who specialised in bosch and hitachi alternators (ceffy one is a hitachi).
