hey a5h,

just a heads up dude.

If your thinking of buying a local car ( one already in Australia ), then the new import regulations will not effect you in anyway what so ever so don't rush it. On the other hand if you wanna bring one in from Japan, then the word is that cars will have to be located and bought in Japan, no later than the end of next week in order to make it here safely before the new regs come into play.

Guys, please don't publish my plates on the internet...

I kept those plates for my new skyline, so I'd appreciate it if you removed that from your post Kamikaze...

Cheers mate!

There are plenty of nice R33 GTS-T that seem to be going for sale lately at good prices (just check the for sale area) and with a few extras. Now seems like a pretty good time to buy so you're lucky.

Don't overlook travelling to buy your car either. I travelled 500km from Melbourne a couple of times to pick up mine from Mildura because it was the right car at the right price. Its a bit of hassle, but it can well be worth it. $200-$300 on travelling costs to look at/pick up a good car you're really happy with ends up not being much in the overall equation.

    • Yeah, you are right. It seems easier and more reasonable to boost the engine. And as you said the blocks are very similar but the cylinder bores are different.
    • Sound logic, but in actuality way more illegal than just having the wrong pipe. Normally, doing something like that would be forgery. Meaning you may have certain documentation for vehicle parts, but the actual parts are different ones and you just assign them the numbers and badging from the documents. But nevermind that. Nonetheless, I AM curious if this pipe was ever made by any official manufacturer this way, because I honestly am not familiar with this pipe layout and shape. As I will be putting on the HKS Silent Hi Power once my exhaust gaskets arrive, as long as it sounds right I will just roll with this front pipe. I can always order the actual Mines part if I run into legal issues. It would be an unnecessary expense as there is lots of other problems I have on this car as of now.
    • So, weld a plate with the Mines logo laser cut into it, onto it. Instant Mines pipes, whether they were or weren't originally.
    • I don't know if the blocks are "the same". They will be very very similar. Obviously, either the bore or the stroke is going to be bigger on the 20. If the bore is bigger, then the 18 head is unlikely to fit properly. If the bore is the same, then you can almost certainly fit the CA18 head, but there migth be a few fun things you have to do to make water galleries (or other things) line up properly. Or... it could just be real easy. Is it worth the effort? Almost certainly not. You can make nearly as much power on a 2 valv ehead as you can on a 4 valve. There's not any "magic" in a 4 valve head.
    • Yes, me too!!!!  I need to find a something that has all the abbreviations for what these cars have LOL
