  1. Proof of this statement. Or are you psychic. Or just angry. Car looks clean, proof will be in inspection. GLWS
  2. Americans started importing. Fan base exploded. The market now is huge, the numbers of cars is not. American population = 330 mil give or take Australian population = 25 million Price is dictated by demand. Look how much clean GTT and GTST's are going for. I was googling and found some joint in Japan sitting on alot of Skylines, it seemed they had hundreds of 34's just waiting. Maybe like those guys 15 or 20 years ago who grabbed alot of Ford GT's when they were cheap, and done some shifty selling amongst themselves to pump up the prices, hence the million dollar XY XW GT's. Maybe, who knows, I'm bored sitting in a waiting room to see a dentist....
  3. Just drive it, and.......if you have garage space, best best would be to buy a turbo car and work on it until you can drive it. If you don't have garage space just keep saving your coins. If the model of car you want comes in a turbo version, buy the turbo version. Unless you like pissing away money, and you don't care about resale, registration, insurance, etc. etc.
  4. One solved, but... The rods on these things are make from plasticine apparently. Pistons and rods are the obvious next big spend. Then a gearbox solution, it's basically a S15 gearbox and they like to chew. Not for a while though, I hope, knock on wood, fingers crossed etc. etc. etc. I believe Yul is pointing at Toyota 86 engine and gearbox parts on the ground.
  5. Boost gauge, fully shizzle dizzle, plus $20 3d printed guage holder thing from local guy. Nothing flash, cheapest gauge I could find really, higher reading than what I really wanted, I tried to find a cheap 15 psi (boost is 8psi) but none were found in the 2 minutes I looked for one, meh. Awaiting some "add a circuit's" from fleabay so I can get the light and dimmer working. It doesn't look as bad in person, the camera makes it look all f**ked up, but it's not really that bad.
  6. I own the fastest street turbocharged 2017 limited edition Toyota 86 with Enkei RPF-1, RS3's, Arc exhaust, K&N air filter, tinted windows, cheapo SAAS boost gauge and a mad scratch on the lower right side of the front bar. The competition is pretty tight in this class though, drug money budgets. I'm talking Ford vs Ferrari budgets, well, the budget that Ford used for fire suppression anyway.....
  7. I agree the part is rare, and rare costs, if I was rebuilding a mint stock GTS-R that needed one I would jump on it, but putting that on a RB20 in a 32, no way. It would actually make me sad wasting that on a GTS-T and not on a GTS-R.
  8. I thought it was way cool, till I looked at the price. Well, if you had a HR31 GTS-R that didn't have one, and it was mint, then yeah, I guess, maybe.... $5k, wow
  9. LOL, fastest "street" R33 with a sunroof? Sorry..
  10. Yeap, this is why I paid a kidney to insure my "engineered" shit box R33 Skyline with comprehensive, and ended up swapping to third party fire and theft. I am currently working on getting my 86 engineered, doing so will be fine for my rego and green slip, BUT, the cost of comprehensive insurance for it will be as high as Amy Winehouse on a bender. That's if I can find a insurer that will cover it. Meh, third party fire & theft may be an cheaper option or third party property cover if all else fails. The only way to be safe insurance wise it to get an engineering certificate for all modifications stating the car meets all required guidelines and declare every modification on your insurance agreement. It's possible to be covered and not get rogered, but you need to follow the bouncing ball then stick your hand deep into your pocket. Or, risk it for the biscuit...... Mmmmmmm, biscuits
  11. In my insurance agreement it states that my insurance can be void if I don't inform the insurer of any changes. Not my insurance company, but..... 3. Modifying your car (without telling your insurer) https://www.finder.com.au/car-insurance-exclusions My suggestion is to read your agreement, in the end expect the insurance company to come at you pistols blazing.
  12. Pretty sure no one, well no one that matters, cares about cam covers. When I have been pulled over it was always only the rego plate check, and obvious defectable modifications, the only time the engine/body number and tags were wanted was when I had my 25/30 engineered and added to the rego, 1 Hwy patrol officer who was very thorough (he seemed overly angry at the world) and once at a pop up RTA (RMS) inspection station on the Foreshore in Botany. This all counts for nothing if your involved in a big crash and/or insurance companies get involved. If a insurance company can prove you car is not roadworthy they pay nothing, having a different engine than what is on the rego papers instantly makes the car unroadworthy. It would negate the green slip 3rd party as well. Food for thought for a worse case senario situation.
  13. Still 27 days out, she'll be fine by then.
  14. For some JDM Kei Kar Kool Not fast, but super cool. There will be alot of "cool" cars that you could get for the money you eventually flip the Skyline for.
  15. What size? What manufacture date?
  16. https://plazmaman.com/product/r33-gtst-air-box/ Or, for the same money, make a template out of cardboard, then transcribe onto 20 gauge alloy, buy a nutsert gun and some nut serts https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-rivet-nut-tool/523129.html then prep and paint with https://www.vhtpaint.com/high-heat/vht-wrinkle-plus-coatings You'll also need a drill, some tin snips, a smooth file, and some pinch weld https://www.clarkrubber.com.au/products/31733-pvc-black-pinchweld-small-8mm-x-5-5mm Oh, and a brake Takes at a few templates to get right usually. Typically it doesn't take longer than a 6 pack. Gratification level = 10 million
  17. Can you spot me, I'll buy you a beer. Only lets not do 2J as I could never register it, a camed up LS on the other hand is achievable, costly though, but with you paying I'm not to fussed on the estimated $60+k it would cost. Cheers I'll keep an eye out for a brown paper bag full of cash dropped on my door step.
  18. But it sounds like a jet.. OP, put on cover, it will still sound whoosshhhy, but be more legsl and less hot air
  19. The car got called a sleeper today, LOL. Damn this little thing is fun.

  21. Just Jap had fan shrouds a while ago, Fenix, I believe, fit the OEM fan shroud. An undertray would be beneficial as well. Easily fabricated as well.
  22. Me, I would All the win, none of the gaids
