Yeah neither would I for that price...

Damn cheap if you ask me..

depends on the actual condition though..

What you could do is fly up there... drive it back lol  

then drive to whyalla and get it registered under my address here.. u dun have to worry about regency if you do it that way.. ;)

other wise if they put you over the pits.. ur F$@% ed with that beast..lol

I picked up a line from Brisbain a few week ago and drove it back. It had lots of rice and wouldnt get through Regency. I took it to the Sturt DMV and they did the checks and let me go. They were nice guys, picked up that my tint was too dark, but didnt make me remove it. Didnt worry about SAFC, RPM, Turbo timer, Bleed Valves etc.

Yeh oi Sturt is the way to go, much better down there, especially if the car is just registered in another state, they just check the numbers and the obviouse things and away you go!! :uh-huh:

The 34 left Nagoya Friday week ago, so should be here in the next 2-4 weeks, depending on shipping transfers, wharfies, customs procedures etc .... then I have to stock it out for compliance, they keep it for 2 weeks compliancing it, then it will be on the road. So my S15 goes in and gets some mechanical things perfected tomorrow, then gets a new clutch, then I will put it on the market. I hope to sell it before my 34 is on the road, as I don't have the garage space for both of them!

    • I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.            
    • Awesome writeup and details. Thanks for sharing the story so far. I can relate to parts of it with my previous car and some of the issues I had to deal with.
    • Wow the colour matched hard top completely transforms the car. Are there any nice front lip options for the car or is that off the table?
    • Generally yes but for some reason I've been ruthless this time around!  I might even need to do another tip run after the way I've finally been able to hit the delete button on shit I've stepped over, stepped around and tripped over for the past 10 years!
    • I just quote the Rolling Stones. Paint it black.
