  1. just looking at the original post and reading the website... I'd avoid it as you send him specs of your car and he guesstimates a good map for you? What bollocks. Just because it works for some monkey in a similar car dosen't mean it'll work for you... very risky. Have it tuned in real time on a dyno. The downside to a remapped ECU is that you have to remap it almost every time you change your car's mods. Other than that its pretty cost effective.
  2. if you don't need it to be road registered, find a shell that cannot be registered (writeoff, failed compliance, parts import etc) and build it up. That way you start from scratch. That's if you don't have access to a CAMS accredited license that makes you eligible for a race import. However if you are eligible for a race import then you can buy GTR's that are in various stages of modification. From: http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/6600 to http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/3340 to http://www.j-spec.com.au/list/6377 (just using race imports on our mailing list as examples). There's heaps more modified ones out there. As a race import it dosen't have to meet the strict rules for SEVS so you can actually hunt around for some real bargains in japan.
  3. yeah that'll be to appease all the american fanboys who seem to want to stick RB engines into everything from their 240sx's to their hondas. Over here its cool to put a LS1 in a skyline shell that you pick up for a couple of grand Or actually own a mustang with a proper ford engine... now that's an achivement.
  4. fcuk yeah... now I can paint my 86 yellow and not be told that I copied crab.
  5. yeah rhys millen set up the Evo's for the movie (all the stunt ones were RWD from memory), and he's no stranger to em... love the number of cameo's in the movie from "people in the industry" that you'd only pick up if you weren't a newbie. They should have a spinoff TV show or something on it about the life of Han... he's probably the only character that's even half decent in all 3 fast n furriest movies. As for the cars in the movie... all of the hero cars (with the exception of the S15) are available in the US. US movie, US cars. What bollocks... only a splattering of S13's, AE86's and Skylines for "oh shit it must really be japan" sake.
  6. you know they're almost all american right? very little of it was shot in japan
  7. uras makes a conversion kit as well... looks like arse with a pinch of smelly foot odour if you ask me.
  8. R32 GTR box will work in a R32 GTS4, you just need to swap the final drive gear from the GTS4 box into the GTR one so your speedo keeps reading right.
  9. ffs you wonder why there's a lack of people in the cef section... keep it in your pants I agree with konect tho... the one with the australian map in the background is too complex... maybe incorporate the flag instead?
  10. someone's about to feel a whole lot of pain.
  11. the FTO's an awesome package... much more efficient engine, handles great and looks nice. Supras are only fun in turbo form, NA supras can GAGF. Failing that I'll throw in the Toyota Levin AE111 into the mix... i'd have trouble picking between that and an FTO.
  12. errh... I'm from 02 too... and partially NSW too I guess.
  13. ^^ what he said josh, if you've got your approval, give one of the boys in the office a call, they'll give a breakdown of who you need to talk to and what you need to do.
  14. East Bear... powerplay in syd can get em for you... I think they're the official distributor in aust. Talk to Tosh (SAU NSW).
  15. A whole bunch of VICDrift guys went down last night to the drive ins.
  16. you suck at making threads. fail.
  17. says "with supercharger" or something like that.
  18. yeah I could sort that part of it out. actually, the one I did about rear speaker install was a thread
  19. I don't think anyone's prepared to take the time to translate an entire manual for you, but if you had a specific question or problem I'm sure we can try and help you.
  20. respray it bayside blue... go on... do it! frontend conversion looks hot as. well done... well if it's had troy's hands on it you can't expect anything else.
  21. The car is available through a wholesale network that turn over cars really quickly. They don't entertain requests for extra photos and will not go out of their way to supply them. We also don't have access to the cars prior to purchase (like with cars at dealerships and at auctions) to arrange an inspection by one of our guys. So... to save having to say that to the numerous people that email and phone asking for more pics, we put it up front on the details page... in bold and on a line by itself just so you don't miss the fact that you don't have access to as much info as on other cars we have to offer.
  22. konect... is one of your reverse lights red as well? or do you have any rear facing red foglights? Most "snow area" cars in japan have em. Surprised your A31 isn't AWD... most of the GTS4's come from snow areas and a lot of AWD ceffies too.
  23. maybe your cef was owned by a japanese b-boy?
