hahha gee thanks :P

for me its is200 with 1jz in it :) and stagea for the wife

hmmm if it'll make you feel better, and I think I've told kristian (iron chef) this too... there is a way around getting fast altezza's. See in japan they sold the altezza in a hatchback/wagon, sorta like a impreza wagon, or an evo wagon. This car actually meets the criteria for the SEVS list, cos it meets power to weight, and has a unique silhouette. I dunno if they came with a BEAMS engine, but I'm fairly sure they came in a turbo (i'll have to check the docs)... think from memory they're all 4WD too.

Although given the choice between a Caldina and an Altezza Wagon... hmmm.

IS200's are still a rich man's corolla. There's a running joke in the curry community that a poor curry dad drives a camry (a rich dad would drive a "lexus" ES300), and his son drives a corolla, then when his son gets on a 40k+ salary he buys an IS200, thus still keeping the tradition.

West - looks nice, clean, slick and tough... looks kindda like an e.g honda civic but is more luxurious and more tougher looking.

yeah, i do like it a lot. keep us posted on how you go.

EP82 halfcuts are about 4k for everything you need. the EP82 and EP91 chassis' are the same so the older parts should bolt straight up... but apparently the EP91 turbo's are a lil faster.

    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise    
    • My Fuga Hybrid is JDM, 2014 model but very similar to the V37 from the looks of things..same platform just physically larger and very comfortab;e
    • Was that Australia Delivered Duncan? Does it have siren etc?   I used to have remote start on an old 32 two decades ago, it was a cool feature. I used to wake up early in winter for work. Start it and by the time i was out the door a few minutes later the engine was warmed up and the heaters had the car toasty. It was great.    I don’t mine the ambience lighting.  I drive a western star and it has footwell lights and ambient lighting and it’s great! From the pics of seen of them installed in a skyline I think it’s a nice touch 
    • re the security system, my Fuga/Q70 has the factory option where the puddle lights in the mirrors turn on when the prox key is detected, it was clearly dealer fitted and has a switch in the lower dash to disable it....it didn't have remote start but TBH I don't really miss that, I had it in the Stagea originally but never used it....we don't often have to warm the car up in the snow before we get in for Australia. And the Fuga also has the illuminated footwells, sounds like a useless feature but I actually quite like the indirect light within the car, it was a nice addition
    • Ok now I’m extremely jealous
