Firstly, I'd like to say hello to everyone here in SAU. The Stagea AR-X thread got my attention.

Some of you think that it might be weird for someone that doesn't have a Skyline to register in a Skyline community (To be honest, I'm still on my L plates!), but after lurking around for 2+ years, this looks like the best & interesting Aussie pararallel import forums that I've seen to (Same thing with gtrcanada, but that's not Aussie :sick:.).

I've been staying down under, in WA since 2003 (Thanks to my parents pushing me to skip Form 3 in Malaysia at the time & start year 9 Aussie education here.), and was surprised that the common parallel imports down under here are of the high performance variety such as Nissan Skylines & Silvias, considering that you guys have this SEVS restriction thingie (Which I heard came into effect at the start of the millenium.).

PS: I'm sorry if there's a newbie welcoming thread somehere around in here, but I searched.

Hey most people here like other makes too.They just don't want to admit it on SAU.

Easy decision? Get a Skyline. Skylines rock. Coz I said so.

That's true, but Mazaratis can be so expensive... as can the M3.

Much better value to buy a Skyline.

To be honest, if you were looking for an import in WA the choices are likely to be Skyline or Soarer... I guess maybe Supra, but I had a sh!tty Celica (RA60) and it put me off Toyotas.

Who can go past the originaly V8 muncher?

      HKS Vcam Step Pro Issues

      By believer · Posted

      Hi guys, Sorry to butt in and take it slightly off course, although still on the VCAM subject.  I had VCAM put into my Tomei 2.8 bottom end and I struggle to take off because the engine has very little torque caused by VERY low dynamic compression at 60psi. But once off the mark and especially on boost, the engine rev happily all the way to 8000rpm and makes 630hp at 20psi of boost on E85 at the rear hubs. Has anyone had any similar experience or any suggestions on what might cause this low compression at low rpm? I am in the process of converting it into a 8hp transmission and with this low torque, the engine would not even stay running until the throttle is opened to more than 30% and then I loose all vacuum.

      Shockabsorber 101

      By Watermouse · Posted

      Last year I got a set of MCA street coilovers for my turbo Forester after my son hitting a concrete gutter/wall on a small bridge causing the whole drivers side suspension to get bent because the rain just made the car slide out I love them, I think they were $2400. even had a hiccup of have the wrong hub configuration (my fault) so got onto MCA and they sent the correct shock ends overnight parts from QLD, for free!  I was very impressed with their customer service and quality of the product

      High temp brake fluid?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      They've had some weird failures on their brake actuators. One of them was because they added some kind of lubricant to the factory fill brake fluid that aftermarket brake fluid didn't have so it would affect the seals. Another was just mysterious, probably internal corrosion or something eating away at Prius brake actuators. Parts alone for those are a few thousand USD so not a cheap fix.
