Ok, thanks for that I've dropped Ironchef a line as well about bringing the M3 over if it doesn't sell here, I'm sure it would fetch a better price on Oz if I decide to sell her incase she doesnt sell here G

haha, a shopping list before I even arrive!! I sure things used to be cheaper in Oz, when I first started modifying cars!! Most of my RX7 gear came from the states - turbo included. This is also a ho topic - fist time I have ever started one of those!! Time is dragging a little here now, I can't wait to get over!!! G

Hi, Sorry some confusion there, I didn't have the R33 and The RX at the same time, I sold the skyline to fund the RX. I'm hoping for a nice sorted toy - but I need to establish myself first before I can even think about that, as I'm sure I'm going to have loads of other things I will need to sort. I've always wanted and R34 though, along with a Supra - they are the only 2 jap cars I want that I have not owned yet, but I've been looking at R34's over there and they cost a fair whack. I do wonder though if I should just save for a LONG time and look at a new GTR - yet another I want to own, but damn, they are expensive there too.... G

Hi there, Thats great - thanks for the advice, I'm not planning on the Jap car to be my main car, just a toy - as I use them here. I looked into importing the cars (I have a BMW M3 as well) and it just seemed too much hassle and money. I will definitely give a shout when I get there!! Thanks for the advice about the police between Adelaide and Victor. Shouldn't be a problem. I'm a General Practitioner and have got a job in the Surgery at Victor (hence why I have to live in Victor). I'll only go into Adelaide for social reasons and will try to avoid the peak times!! How loud can your car be before you draw too much attention - I want to do this right!! Thanks to all as well for the advice it's much appreciated - I not as worried now as I was previously G

hmmmm, ok I'm thinking uprated twins is the way to go then..... would you have issues with an uprated FMIC as this is also a fairly visible mod, but a very important one for more power! I've heard stories as well even if you uprate the twins they check the serial number??? Is that right? I thought they were bad here but I'm beginning to think we get off very lightly - my RX7 sounded like a jet taking off when at full boost and no one bothered at all. ha, I'm not even moving for a few months and I'm already looking at cars!! Got to get my priorities right!! G

yes that was my main worry by going single turbo - I think it may just be noted. I'm not big on huge body kits etc, etc. I'm all about the power!! so is there a way to do all the work and have the car legit - if so how would I go about this. If not what would happen for example, if I put a bit GT30 on her and got a defect? G

Hi all, I've joined this forum as I am British but emigrating to Adelaide in August. I' heavily into my Jap cars in the UK and have recently sold my FD RX7 and R33 GTR to fund this. Now I'd like to get involved with the car scene again when I'm over. I've been reading about defects etc (which is a new one on me as pretty much anything goes in the UK as long as passed MOT and is insured) and it has got me worried. I have read all the info I can find but I'm pretty confused about what is legal and what is not. I'm 31 so not a "young lad" as the police look out for here. I understand the simple things like ride height, tints, BOV etc. What I really want to know is how much can I tune the car. I'm heavily into tuning, to the point my RX was single turbo'd and running 459 rwhp and the GTR was similar with approx 600bhp at the fly. Now this took a lot of work (and money) and I needed to single turbo both cars and FMIC, aftermarket ECU etc. Now is it possible to do this in SA and reach this kind of power with these cars or is it all a big no, no?? Any advice here would be greatly appreciated.... I will be living in Victor Harbor initially. Thanks and I look forward to the advice!! Graham
