I want to buy a cheap dirtyish s6 rx7 with a blown engine or something then import a race/rally one and swap everything...

if only you could find one i guess.... that is the biggest problem. no one would sell one just as a shell they arent like skylines, on every second street corner.

Yep, they are rare, but they do come up from time to time, just got to have the cash handy and be patient. I'm not usually good with the latter. Hence why I don't own an rx7. Maybe sometime soon i'll switch back to a modified car, when I start to miss all the police attention.

sounds like a spirit rs edition most of those features are factory :( if it is it has 3mm apex seals and improved turbo setup they are the most powerful rotary ever built for mass production by mazda

yeah i dont get police attention but mine isnt really modified much. exhuast, suspension and wheels thats it. but i will eventually until i get sick of it and sell it off for 8k less then what i payed for it originally....that is what happens these days isnt it.

Yeah, the depreciation on imports has been rediculous over the past year or so...

R33gtst have to be the most common import into australia now i reckon.

but the problem lies with ppl importing cars to sell just to make a quick buck, and selling them for like 11K etc when clearly they are worth more then this, how can ppl compete with those prices.

and australian domestic market cars like holden, ford etc dont have to compete with that bcoz no one is importing them cheaper from overseas are they.

We also have to lie some of the blame on nissan themselves, from way back in the day when they decided to bring there cult car out here and show up the "V8 BOYS" now those so called V8 boys are driving round in skylines. it was a nutural progression for them to buy a skyline after the stepped out of there commodores & falcons.

nice rx7 will be a real collectors car :(

ahh thats why we still pay so much in tax for importing cars (well that is the theory) I say stop protecting two companies who are suppose to be australian (both owned overseas) and make it a real competition. Because at the moment we are awarding two companies who really are making lesser qualitiy cars and are even themselves taking overseas cars and rebadging them to try and make up their sales (cough opel vectas). NZ did this and yes they did kill their local companies off, but there are less bombs on the road there as cars are a lot more affordable and come with more safety features then what the old bombs did.

    • Hey all, my 2004 Nissan Skyline 350GT overheated the other day with coolant boiling and leaking out of the coolant reservoir when I was parking. So today, I started it up again just to see if it was a thermostat/head gasket issue. After about 20 mins of running, temps were normal again, no coolant was leaking out and the upper reservoir hose was warm but my engine suddenly cut off. I checked the oil dipstick and cap when it was running and there was no white foamy residue and the exhaust did not have white smoke. I tried starting up the car again but it would only crank, similar to when I had a camshaft sensor issue just that now there’s no check engine light on the dash. Any ideas? Unfortunately I don’t have an OBD2 that can read the Nissan's programme.
    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
