I've heard that it's best to import a dead stock grandma spec car. No rims, no exhaust, etc. Somebody I was speaking to has had major issues with compliance due to non standard suspension, a set of rims and an aftermarket exhaust.....

Hey - Nice one - I have will be paying my deposit next week. I think I will use Geoff at Prestige cause he has imported 3 other cars for me and always does the right thing. (Not that J-SPec don'e of course)

Ryan, Geoff told me no probs with wheels etc - as long as everything is returned to stock for compliance (Which adds cost of course). But say with a set of wheels - easy to put stocks on - save heaps over buying a set.

Perhaps suspension, body kits, engine bay stuff is not the go as too expansive to swap over and swap back

only 1 place does compliance atm and its in queensland. so as d0p3y said it is best to get a bog stock one. i talked to the guys that do the compliance and they wont do it unless its totally stock (even rims). so less your in quensland doing a switch is kinda imposible.

I'm gonna get a dead stocker too B-Man. Like I said, the importers say things like rims will be fine but I've heard from the compliance workshops and people who've imported them directly that they don't even accept non standard rims.

On the plus side I guess you can get a low KM grandpa car in perfect nick :P

Oh.. and the guy I was speaking to is due to pick his up next week... will let you know what he has to say about it as a car..

Cool - keep us posted.

I think I will have all my 'go fast bits' before the car arrives and is complied.

This is the list so far:

HKS TO4Z kit - Turbo, Manifold, Wastegate, Intake

Sard Fuel rail & 800cc injectors

Duel Fuel pumps system

Blitz or HKS Cooler kit

Blitz or Custom Exhaust

HKS Cams 264/264

Jun Cam Gears

Greddy E-Manage Utimate OR AEM ECU

Blitz SBCid3 Boost Control

MV Stage II tricked auto& Tranny cooler

HKS - Timing Belt

Still working out Suspension and Wheels

Project Aristo looks like it will be scrapped aftera long hard reality check.

$15K on the car $20K+ in modifications $35K total. When done, the car will be worth like $18k or less (as by then everyone will be imnporting them).

Purpose - spending $35K on a car to take it to the drags once a month is a damn expensive hobby. And I know myself - if I am not getting the times - I would go spending another $15K on it to try and get the times. $50K.

So when reality set in, and I asked myself, what do do I really want in a car, I came up with this !

Cheaper insurance

Looks

Style

Engineering

Performance

Cheaper outright purchase

Cons are - higher than normal running costs (repairs, parts, etc) but not as expensive a putting a T04Z on a 2J :):woot:

Bman, if i was looking for a new fun car I would buy this:

nice stereo, RSR works engine conversion, all the good bits. Would be great fun to cruise around in and can you imagine turning up to a track day in it...lol

Damn it's sold !

Who the hell would by a Mighty Boy for $11K - nuts ! Nuts ! Even nuttier than buying a Porsche 928S - Beautiful piece of engineering - Style Class - 220rwkw performance from a 20 year old car - that WILL pul the chicks.

V8 POWA ! !

I wonder if you can get and HKS twin GT-RS kit for a 928S ? Yeah Baby !

Porsche is a good car, but have you considered the cost of maintenance?

$3000-$5000 per year.

Cost to insure a fully worked Aristo ???? About the same.

Resale value - Much better with the Porsche.

Market - not the same as a Skyline / Supra / Aristo. 40+ yo guys that have no objection in spending $$ on their prides and joy.

BTW - It's a rare manual ! :)

    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.     
    • Unfortunately, not only is that not the case, one of the main "Selling points" of safety over comms is they clearly state in writing that there's no need to segregate safety networks from non-safety networks. It always gets intermingled with everything else on an ICS/OT network.
