Ok, so here's my theory: can't afford to buy a car at the moment and start goin nuts on it etc so I have to look at cheaper solutions... but what if I went for the best of both worlds?? My overall plan (well one of - you'd be surprised how many different plans you can build when all you can do is THINK about cars) is to get an na auto ceffy, do an RB25DET Manual conversion and have some fun. Don't know if my figures are realistic or if I've accounted for everything or not but, to get to the point, I thought that maybe I should start now and slowly do the minor things here and there until I get my other issues sorted and get the money to start goin nuts! so..... how cheap can I get an auto, na ceffy? (or, more appropriately, how cheap can people here get me one??) 15yr rule would mean it has to be an 88 (all good by me) but, rumour has it, that you can actually get cars for free in Japan because people don't want the hassle of re-registering it etc etc. What do you think the chances are of someone finding one ova there with such a sweet price tag? (yeah, ok, I'm a tight arse but i'll make up for the funds I save now later in the project ) f*%k me I can ramble on... ok, here's point form to make it easier (+ more questions): <--- that was so not meant to come out as a funky faced dude 1) How cheap can people get an na auto cef here for? 2) what's a summary of all the costs involved from the point it's found in Japan to the point it's found going sideways with me in the drivers seat (de-registration costs, freight costs, customs, blah blah blah - i want it all) - lets see if my head is in the real world or it's own 3) what's EVERYTHING involved in an RB25DET manual conversion on an na, auto cef? (once again, want it all... point form with costs for each would be premium ) - once again, dave's head = real world / own Thanks in advance all (p.s. if you're sitting there reading this and you feel sorry for me and you want to donate a large sum of cash ($10K plus) to my "i want an insane cefiro" fund, pm me for my bank detail ha haa! - ok, it was worth a try )

lol! nah, that's sttill in the rhealms of realism... I've done up a big plan for when i actually have money again and (with all the modifications i have listed) the difference between a 25 and a 26 is minimal so i could go either way.

Drift limo: that car is fkn SEX AS!!!!!!!!! where can we get the flares in aus? hella flush? you mentioned you're getting yours glassed over? P.S. DAMN YOU ALL for setting the standards so high and adding to my wish list!! haha!

BUMPITY!!! PRICE DROP!! $17K ono peoples looking for a quick sale so taking all reasonable offers.

Bump... bump, bump it up! open to offers boys and girls but to help you make your decision: this is you before buying this car: and this is you after buying it:

*******NO LONGER CONTACTABLE THROUGH MYSELF********

walk in clearly reading a legal studies text book

ha ha ha! damn!!! that's twice in a row I've been done lol!

You can get a non-vented (OEM style) carbon or fibreglass one from carmate. (just to clarify incase you did want something like this) Cheers

lol! glad you can take it man, well done agreed 100% for those that want RWD only use for things like pre-drag tyre warming (on a closed circuit etc) - run a switch to flick between the 2 for those who want RWD only use for things like being the next traffic light warrior or full-hectic burnouts on public roads - If you own a GTR, SELL IT!

Yeah, I'm with the silver overload opinion too... the purpe would be pretty suave though ha ha! if someone wants to sponsor me I'll get it now At this rate, I may be able to think about buying some time between Christmas and Mid next year Tossing up between another R and a cef though... decisions, decisions lol! Might go R first then move over to a mad ceffy (Have to cure my withdrawals lol!)

I'm on this bandwagon... go a nice BMW grey colour. you could go the phoenix gold / yellow that they brought the M3 out in ¿ very nice colour on that car but i don't know if i could picture it on a cef (my 2c) or! for something different, what about the purple colour that for does the XR's etc in? that's a nice colour that doesn't have that factory appeal to it

Oh! you mean when you remove the key completely from the ignition barrel by turning it all the way and pressing in the button then taking it out... THEN jiggling the steering wheel to kick in the steering lock....? is that what you meant? 'cause it could just be me but I think that would be increddibly hard to do whilst flicking the key back and forth 1 position in the barrel... Sorry to be a smart arse by the way.

Didn't wanna sound like a smart arse or anything but there's your answer. that sucks big time man! sorry to hear!

ha ha ha ha!!! I was sucked in by that one big time lol!

looked like bar beach car park (if it's the pics i was looking at the other day...)

and you would sh*t yourself if you knew how easy they where to by-pass when you know what you're doing. (i mean alarms and immobolisers)

WOW! that's some quality work right there! sorry to hear it mate but as everyone's said... on to bigger and better things i reckon you should get a tomei RB28DETT package shipped over from japlad lol! they're not THAT expensive

Yeah, GTR's cost more everything than GTS-t's (I've owned both) and if something breaks your hip pocket will definitely let you know about it. Don't forget, going from a single turbo rwd to a twin turbo 4wd = twice as much stuff to maintain / break. need a new air filter - times it by 2 (simple stuff like that) but definitely worth it IF you can afford it don't be one of the people that buys one and can't afford it so they run it into the ground... that's just heart breaking.

if it get's cleared and you get done again then morally, yes... legally, not enough details to say lol! I copped a defect for a low tyre over a year ago and only got a fine, hadn't paid that and got done again for the same thing and was issued a notice that i had 3 days to drive the car and something like 14 to clear it before rego would be cancelled. Neither time did the police even consider taking my car... it would have to be some pretty insane defects for them to take your car (and i mean INSANE) i'm pretty sure the only reason they impound your car is for burnouts or street racing...

ditto!

lol! Cheers guys, I've passed the details on.
