  1. its actually this in disguise... once you fall asleep it'll show its true colours and bite you to death.
  2. yes coz Gemballa's really gonna use a "flamethrower kit" consisting of a sparkplug and a wire, supplied by some backyard arsemonkey from good old Oakleigh, Melbourne.
  3. i'll give em a little while to brew before getting my solicitor mate to draft something up for me.
  4. they'd check the engine number and if it dosen't resemble the ones they have listed they may knock it back.
  5. this is why you don't put blue undercar neons on your skyline... you attract all sortsa scum.
  6. does Nissan Australia still stock parts like the rear numberplate garnish and the tail lights?
  7. that's enough out of you! (yes ok maybe I had that one coming).
  8. Obviously this bunch of cock juggling thunderflamin mongrels don't get the idea when someone politely reminds them that they are using images on their website that belongs to someone else, against their wishes. In case you missed the old thread, the website http://www.flamethrowers.com.au peddles some gay shit which coaxes ricers to make their cars fast and the furious like. Whatever, I couldn't give a rats arse what they sold. My main quipe with them was their use of this image: Which is an image I made as an avatar for JAGR33 (Jack of Citywide towing) on this forum of his R33 GTR. The avatar was made from a video that I happened to take of his car on the Dyno at the now out of business BMT workshop in Fairfield, VIC. In any case, this car does not use any flamethrowers.com.au products. Its the result of a race prepped exhaust and a very aggressive engine tune. I believe they are insulting the car by putting the image on their hack job of a website, let alone the fact that they took it upon themsleves to use the image without my permission. I've already asked them politely to remove the image about a year ago, and they did for a while, but its been brought to my attention that they have put it back up on their front page and on their video's page. In fact it seems half the stuff on that website seems to have been plagarised. I'm done being nice, so this time I ask you guys on SAU to email [email protected] and let them know exactly how much a pack of cocksmokers they are for belittling an awesome GTR with their bottom of the barrel garbage peddlings.
  9. looks like a cricket with large antennae.
  10. over here you can put any engine into another as long as it meets ADRs, then an engineer will have to sign off on it to certify that the swap is legal. Usually costs about $500 - $800 to get done. Once that's done then the car is legal with that engine. The other way that most people do it is rego the car with the engine its supposed to have in it, then do the swap. Engine swaps aren't a roadworthy issue, so the roadworthy shops won't care. It is illegal, but it happens a lot in VIC. The only time you can get caught out is if you have a cop go through your car, or you go to resell it and it needs to go through the registration process again.
  11. TMU is what the traffic police is called in Melbourne, the ones that do the random breath tests and the defecting and stuff. So to have "TMU 2 69" as a number plate wouldn't have gone down well.
  12. noice. awesome use of the triptronic as well. very impressive. Was the Neo engine fitted in australia? hehe the cluster looks similar to my AE86, its got a rounded S13 silvia cluster jammed inside an early 80's square dash.
  13. I got my CA18DET and gearbox delivered from Sydney to Melbourne. As long as the engine is loaded onto a pellet the company I used charged $120 to pick up and deliver to my workshop in melb. Always use private couriers, they're so much cheaper and will bend over backwards for your business (like organising a truck with a crane to pick up pellet if there's no loading facilities etc).
  14. mr Eps, I assume you don't live in melbourne, where you have your car inspected only once and never again for as long as its in your name, unless the police ask you to. Its a common swap, and done because those engines are readily availble in those countries, unlike the RB (the closest they get to an RB is the RB20E which is an SOHC 2.0L N/A and the RB24S which is an inline 6 carby engine). With this in mind, its easier to do an RB25 or RB26DETT swap in a cef, however the 1JZ and 2JZ swaps are doable. You'd best be asking on a thai ceffy forum like http://www.cefiro-thailand.com or http://rcweb.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=31
  15. besides, my dad's cef is 100% legal and ADR compliant, but I'm sure random breath tests would have been amusing... male cop: "so you wanna 69 us huh?" dad: "wtf... are you coming onto me?"
  16. don't mind me, I'm just quoting this so I can use it sometime against you in the future. and no, this dosen't mean you can whore this thread either dezz.
  17. let me take this opportunity to be the first to welcome you to two years ago the black stagea was up at auction in japan a while ago, and sold for a bit less than 32,000 landed in NZ. the white one was at autosalon in NZ a year or two ago, and won stuff too I think.
  18. I wanted TMU-2-69 or TMU-24-7 or TMU-747 or something dumb like that but they said I'd have to go to geelong to get the plates
  19. AWD cef is pretty much the exact same as an R32 GTS4. Diff front, rear and ratios are also identical between the two. You can't mix and match manuals with autos though due to different diff ratios (well you can, but you need to make sure front and rears are the same).
  20. 5" speakers also fit in the factory brackets (and still allow the windows to go down fully), you just need to use self tappers to make new holes to hold the speaker in.
  21. everybody seems to have a copy of it these days, there's a trader on here that was selling em for like $700something for a full kit.
  22. nope, sold one and fitted the other to the car.
