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.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
