  1. people dont even get that numbers on stock turbo and you're getting 256awkW?????
  2. There are many factors. There you have it, a supra for 10,500. And you complain that its f**ked? Of course its gonna be crap. I looked at almost 10 supras before actually deciding. You have to be patient before finding something good, and in my case, it was not a bad buy, but it was dusty as f**k and having cracked sideskirts/slightly faded paint etc, and on the day i took ownership of the car, i spent the next 4 hours cleaning up dust, and grime that had accumulated over the years, although the engine bay was mint. Its weird eh, but when i saw the car, i just wanted it. Automatic or not, didn't matter, i'm a lazy boy anyway. So, my advice to you is, to be patient, and look around, skylines are cheap for about 12grand you can get a nice 33gtst, but you should never be hasty. Take your time.
  3. Nice idea, yup, then i'll definitely be coming for the next one, and prolly to sign up as a member on the spot.
  4. Isnt that what a blanket ban is? Everything older than 1989, no modifications after 1989, and you have to prove the date of those modifications. It doesn't even elaborate on what "no modifications" mean, since that could mean anything, like someone has mentioned before, wheels. So its a whole undefined area that just makes it harder for people to get in cars they want. Click the link on the first page, and read it.
  5. Hi, and welcome.. But whats sdu? sounds like some diving unit. =D
  6. Dude, how does 1 p plater smashing up his car and asking for too much for a stupid wreck translate into... All i got from that thread was that the dude was in an accident, and his car is wrecked, and he wants 4grand for that piece of shit. Well, i'm not sure if 12grand is affordable, but that's how much an N/A supra costs nowadays, down from 16k about 2 years ago. Not born rich, so perhaps our perception of affordable is a little different.
  7. I'd like a cup holder in these performance cars. If it does have a cup holder, then its a great selling point, the supra doesn't have a cup holder. lame =(
  8. would 3rd party suffice then? It just seems so much cheaper than a comp policy.
  9. The no modifications rule is just a simple blanket ban, not taking into account that cars that age generally will have modifications done to them. And a blanket ban just goes to show how lazy the people making up these rules are.
  10. Its like 2k of excess, which isn't too bad, to me at least, beats paying 1.8k/year on premiums. I've been really careful of late, and i dont really see the need to speed anymore.
  11. Thats the part, dodgy repairers. I'll go comp for awhile first i reckon.
  12. its there to either 1. Waste your time 2. Take more cash 3. Waste your time and take more cash,
  13. Shannons wouldn't insure me because i don't have 5 years of driving experience (wtf?) Just Car, 1170/yr for comp, with the excess adjusted all the way to the maximum. 287/yr for 3rd party. Comp or 3rd party? Its just an auotmatic NA supra which i will probably sell off in about 2years
  14. Just like fishing.
  15. dude. 52/48 (RZ) and 51/49(SZ) isnt good weight distribution? Then i don't know what you've been reading. Most performance cars already in australia would probably have been trashed at some point. And please reference your statement that "so many supras are repairable write-offs". I'd like to know where you got that piece of information from. Getting an import is not about looking cool or racing or anything like that. Its not even about being different. You love the car, you appreciate the car, you get it. Yes, supras are getting common, almost as common as a skyline these days, they're getting older and cheaper now that's why. But, i appreciate the cars for what they are, not for how rare they are, or how different they are. I'd like a 33/34gtr if i could afford it. The reason why i said not to get a supra was because, just having one person being stupid in a supra is enough to spoil it for the test. Your motivations for getting an import are dubious at best, i don't care how smart you are or how you say you want to just cruise around. Looking up to these speedsters, puts you at risk of doing the same thing. Its called, influence.
  16. Thought so, i learn something new almost every week! But do they use 2009 2010 2011 and stuff like that in nihon?
  17. Meh, gotta pull outta this one, saturday has work =( its immensely boring sitting at a snackbar with no customers and i do doze off, even more worse if i'm sleepy.
  18. i get 10km/L
  19. sounds good being in TMU, where do i sign up?

    Get a cat, then when you get sick of it, i'll take the cat off your hands =D uhh, nevermind, i didn't see that you were in outerspace.
  21. wasn't o2 sensors mentioned before?
  22. so the months and days are the same, how does year 19 translate to 2007? Is it the reign of some emperor? Well for an N/A supra, it was actually pretty cheap. Compared to the others i saw on carsales, so i just got it.
