  1. umm an ammeter? you take a wire with current going through it, and you cut it and put the ammeter in series and it gives you a reading?
  2. i've got a stock ceffy airbox with a blitz filter panel?
  3. ^^ what he said... also if you use a genuine GTR bar, if you use a genuine GTR bumper support (ie reo) you won't have to bend anything in the front, just the sides so they meet up witht he guards. The most common thing you see with R32 GTR bumpers on GTSt's is the 1cm or so gap under the headlights where the bumper bends. You can avoid that by using a genuine GTR bumper support.
  4. i'd go with a 1JZ, purely for its ability to rev out its full range better than an RB25. In stock form its a lot more reliable than an RB25, and keeping it internally stock you can make more power on a 1JZ than on an RB25. And if you're building a track car of sorts, then you might as well start with a stronger base.
  5. roflafagus... $1200 for R33 compliance... $1200 for a 15 year old R32 maybe. And wtf different price for S1 and S2... that's a new one. You don't do many of them, yet you charge half the going price anywhere in Australia? That dosen't add up. I'd like some concrete evidence of this to believe it, and if its true then this compliancer will be getting a shit load of work.
  6. tell applebong to put a shirt on... flabby bits are not sexy. the car on the other hand... hubba hubba.
  7. yeah its an S14 conversion done in japan of all places... its done by a company that specialises in LA Style tuning, which is... surprise surprise, a style gaining popularity in japan, imitating the americans. See the yanks only get S14's and S13's as 240sx's and to own a Skyline is a very very expensive hobby, so they convert the front and back to look like a R34. In Japan and Australia its a bit stupid really considering you can buy an R34 GTt for much cheaper than an S14 with that abomination of a kit.
  8. yo G, I might grab the S13 brake setup off ya for the AE86. Is this the stuff out of the onevia that you took out ages ago? I'll only know in like 2 weeks if I need it for sure tho, so if you can sell it before then don't wait on me.
  9. thanks mate, how big is that and where on the bonnet is the dent?
  10. If its imported for race use you can apply for it to be transferred for compliance unders SEVS. At 10k, it'd still work out cheaper, just a bit of a headache unless you deal with DOTARs regularly (which I do). If you don't want the hassle I'll take it off your hands and do all that myself and get it on the road, can you provide all the paperwork necessary, ie import approval for race use, a copy of your racing license and other bits I'll need to organise it with DOTARs?

Also AF ratio piggyback adjustment for fine tuning... those would be your first bunch of mods to do.
  13. lol maybe you should have advertised it on here sooner. On that note, its a white series 1 R33, which is probably the most common skyline in the "for sale" market. A lot of people don't want to buy a car that's common. Still 14k on road with rego is pretty good. Its also a "Type M" not an "M Spec". In your ad, you might want to add the pic of the dent on the door, where you are located (looks like NSW from the rego sticker), the year of the car, auto/manual and a list of mods, just to save you having to answer repeat questions.
  14. cheap to get tyres for teh drifting. duh. japanese people are tight arses, just like aussies.
  15. watch out for a fella on SAU by the name of Dave... he drives a white Ford and he's always at our track events

    what do you want jimbo?
  17. yeah, I've got the switch in my GTS4 as well... wire coming out of fuse box... leads to switch under steering wheel. you can also similarly turn ABS on and off (great for track).
  18. Haha I thought that too, but the guy in yellow's shoulders are too well defined to be James, as he has more feminine shoulders. Troy, one of the girls that works in the Japanese office has a sister who's like 30 something who wants to marry some aussie dude to move over here. Maybe we could play import match maker. She's useless around the kitchen and the garage though.
  19. sorry rezzeh, i'm apparently too busy being a primate bangin' sex junket in uganda for that. BTW, you got your fenders and aero from aeromaster right? How'd you find the fit of it? did it all bolt straight up? Most of my kit (which I got from aeromaster) was OK, except the rear bumper that left some gaps under the tail lights, just wondering if you found the same. here's my old R32 with the aeromaster kit, the new owner recently painted it Top Secret gold:
  20. I got it for christmas... 2004
  21. That's coz the one in the pic is a 1JZ AE86 engine bay is about the same size as the celica as well.
  22. speaking of cramming big things into little bays... also... one of the fellas locally managed to cram a landcruiser V8 under his hood, so its not that far fetched.
  23. If you're coming back to oz in 2008 you should get yourself a nice little moneymaker car (ie one that's not eligible for SEVS and is highly desirable... like an S15 Varietta for example, or an extremely modded car) and own it for a year, bring it down as a personal import, sell it, use the money and buy yourself a R33 GTSt. You can buy a lightly modded R33 GTSt for between AUD $13,000 for a 1993 and AUD $19,000 for a 1998. No doubt in 2 years time they will drop further in price. Already the focus has moved to R34's as the preferred Skyline to import (we've been getting quite a few inquiries for them and very late model R33's lately). Also you'll have already paid import fees for the car to enter the UK, and from what I know of UK export laws you don't get them back or anything, so you might as well just import one direct out of Japan instead of paying tax on an already taxed car. Our taxes and duties aren't as hefty as the UK ones either. Shipping from the UK to Australia is also a lot more than shipping from Japan to Australia. In summary, don't do it Pick one up when you get here.
