That Import 101 mob have been importing “race only” cars under their own level 3 cams license. Maybe import one for race use through them, then do a VIN swap with a local GSR or something

This is of course illegal, and I’m not suggesting nor condoning this behavior and or activity.

Take the above info how ever you like, just do your research before you do it, as you don’t want to be stuck with two cars, or a car that’s of no use.

we can, but they need to be SEVS complied, which usually means stock. (providing they are on the SEVS list.. pretty sure they are)

The hardcore ones are for race rally use only, so no compliance, no road rego, no nothing....

I *heard* (so who knows really) that someone how imports a race rally car (with CAMS 3) has to sell it to someone with CAMS 3 also, but who knows if thats true.

you can not import an evo III for road use at all , they are not on the sevs list . I assume they fail because they are to close to the CC GSR turbo 4wd lancer misti brought in to australia

there used to be a loophole in victory to let you bring one in and replace a written off domestic GSR lancer with it but that has been closed

you can bring in a race only one if you have or can find someone with a cams license and then you can transfer all the running gear to a CC gsr lancer , the car is virtually identical to the evo III when you are done .

its not that difficult but domestically delivered gsrs are getting rarer and expensive so the total cost would probably almost equal an evo VI which you can bring in anyway

I was under the impression that it could be sold on to someone without a cams licence, but that doesn't mean it could then be rego'd... still for track/race use only...

Bugger....is this true.....can anyone confirm this ?....

where have you been hiding... it was scrapped about this time last year (early Feb). Unless you had docs proving that you had purchased the car before that date... no more 15 year rule....

pre - frikkin - 89

and top quality cars that age are getting VERY hard to find

yes but that defeats the whole purpose of buy one for a steal of a price....plus by the time you do the conversion, the cost will spiral like hell......and will cost more than a evo 6 or 6.5 :yes: already in AUS.... :)

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.

      Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...

      Unknown sound similar to BOV on positive boost with partial throttle RB26

      No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.

      You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever

      Thanks for the quick reply. To be clear, when you say turbo shuffle do you mean turbo flutter "stustustu" or referring to something else? I had thought they were the same thing. When I wrote the post my intention was to say it wasn't a flutter/compression surge sound. My understanding was that a flutter sound would be occurring when throttle is released, whereas I can keep the throttle in the same position for this noise
