what sort of accident was the wreck involved in? could be interested in the steering rack

So I refitted my standard air box. My impressions after driving with it: Feels much torquier and responsive at lower revs (500 - 3,500rpm) Notiecable loss of power at higher revs, not as much pull past 4,500rpm The engine feels 'sturdier' or something because of the reduced sound. Verdict: standard air box is good if you drive in traffic (which i do a lot of now); it's much more driveable/liveable. Pod is excellent for performance but you suffer a little at lower revs. Incidentally, my apexi pod + mounting brackets + UAS fibreglass cold air box + cold air ducting are for sale - pm me if interested. Bolts straight onto n/a R33.

yeah they can be. basically whatever the dealer's profit margin is, you save. could range from $1k - 4k. A dealer has an incentive to buy a cheap car at auction (cheap for whatever reason - damage, wear high km's etc), fix anything wrong with it, and then sell at the local market price so as to maximise their profit. Not to say all dealers are dodgy like this, but the incentive is there. With an import broker the incentive is for them to find the best possible car for you, as they receive a fixed fee and want a good repuation so you refer your friends. hope this helps you decide

- takes about 6 weeks to arrive once bought - re warranty depends on how risk averse you are, you can purchase a warranty on a car if you import yourself. its just like an insurance contract.

sorry mate i posted my opinion on this in your other thread. I reckon import yourself, just wait for the perfect car to come up and nab it

import it yourself, save money and don't get ripped by a dodgy dealer. as long as you are willing to be patient. www.j-spec.com.au or www.prestigemotorsport.com.au

The bottom of my intake pipe started to melt from the high temperatures. This could have caused a fire and ultimate destruction of engine. This, and the power gains, is why I recommend to heat wrap them. Having said this there are plenty of people using them un heat wrapped without dramas The orange paint is just to stop them rusting while they're in the shop etc. so they look good. You could use a blowtorch to get the paint off, or paint stripper, or just heat wrap over it, won't be the end of the world. Cheers Greg

Thanks for the reply yeah I thought it was most likely brass. I have no idea what components in an RB are made of brass though...?

anything to worry about? Thanks Greg

I highly recommend these extractors. To save hassles later, strip the prange paint back when you get them as it just melts anyway and heat wrap them.

you get a credit in their cafe/restuarant to the value of the entry fee

didn't feel a thing out in the dandenongs

your move makes a lot of economic and practical sense. after a few more years of thrashing around in my skyline i plan to get a similar car

nice wheels and nice price, will these fit a 300zx? a mte may be interested

nice work on your logo

Here's my car with my new wheels

All good man, I simply stated what I was willing to pay for it, which isn't so different to what you were asking anyway.

I'd pay $400 delivered to Melbourne.

to be brutally honest i cbf and it doesn't sound that great anyway

hmm tempted... can you post some hi-res pics of the boot from a few angles, I want to get an idea of how well it fits. thanks

shame you're not i melbourne.... free bump for a good product

SOURCED

At the top of the page: http://nismo.com.au/pricelists/pricelist_skylineclutch.htm I'm thinking of getting one of these, wondering what is involved to fit it, and if anyone has used this one specifically and your impressions Thanks Greg

ignuz your wheels really suit your car. I'll post up a pic of mine once I pick up my new set of wheels tomorrow night
