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.

      I know you don't want to hear this comment, but I can't not say it.  I just can't see 200kw being worth the time and effort. Its like guys with NA cars, putting in headers/exhaust/tune for a massive 20% jump in power. Great, the slow car is still slow and you're down $10,000.  My vote is leave it NA or price in a gearbox upgrade and shoot for at least 300KW, preferably 350KW+.  Now you have a NC that will try to kill you from time to time and will be exciting to drive

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By Murray_Calavera · Posted

      Ah yep. The main message I want to pass on is, try not to get scared of ghosts when thinking about knock/knock detection.  What I mean is, healthy engines make noise. Knock is also noise. Your knock sensor and ECU combo are trying to determine bad noise from good noise based on how loud the noise is. The factory knock sensors and ECU are not good at doing this.  Modern ECU's are pretty decent at it, however I'd still say that you would want to verify that if your ECU says it's knock, that you actually listen to it and confirm that it is correct.  Are you familiar with the plex knock monitor?  https://www.plex-tuning.com/products/plex-knock-monitor-v3/ I expect you're the type of person that would be very keen to play with something like this. It is great knock detection and you can pop some headphones on and listen to what's going on.  Knock that you've deliberately induced in low load low RPM areas is not really putting anything at risk and is a great tuning/learning/verification tool.  I just thought this was worth mentioning based on the way you were talking about setting up a base map and the Haltech base map settings. There are better ways to spend your time then chasing ghosts and worrying about detonation in scenarios that it is crazy unlikely to encounter it.  I was also wondering, what ECU are you planning to get? Will it be long til you pick it up?

      This came quicker than I thought. It ain't even 2025 yet.

      I somehow quoted my post instead of editing it. I regret nothing.
