WazR32GTSt and inark.. yes i know - but well if i want cheap then thats what i have to deal with. Its all sacrifices - but one day it will lead to what I really want. Either way, if i'm saving money then i'm not going to get anything too original and don't actually care.. i care about performance first :P I probably wouldn't be modding it heavily, but if i chose to I could do so at my own pace at least.

Yer the 94 model has a few updates.. the earlier ones have the CA18DET in them.

I've considered the 89 thing.. but to be honest, I'd rather import a stock as a rock 91/92 model or so R32 or 180 or ?? - I think its actually safer. Least I know its less likely to have been just used for sillyness over in Japan and with the current rules it has to be stock anyhow. Shall have to think about that too.

Funky: I saw a few GTS4's and 32's - but i wasn't seeing too many 89 models?? They seem to be fairly rare?? Under $10k landed sounded pretty good.. but if i had to budget a respray and engine rebuild those costs could blow out a bit further than I'd want.

homeowners grant is currently $7k and you have to live in the house, yep - but thats my plan.. then i can rent it out bit later if i want to move.

Nah Matt, I am talking 5k for new home owners and 3k for brand new house :) there is no 7k grant in Vic anymore...

ps. I also know about R.E.

edit, there is no $7k anymore...My brother only got $5k last month

/end off topic

out of respect for this thread I deleted other off topic posts of mine :P

i would rather have something modified.... ur a tool if u think that nothing silly has been done in it because its not midified... i woudl rather have something with aftermarket parts which are designed for more punishment than the stock parts.

HUDs are a waste of time... farkn only useful at night... I hardly ever used my HUD, altho at one point I was tempted to replace it with an LCD panel so I could watch TV while driving...

/me notes down this idea :D

i prefer to do all my driving at night actually.. Yes, sounds like a bit of a gimick but you know :)

They're trying to bring them back in some of the new cars coming out...one day in the distant future Holden will stick one in one of their cars and everybody will go "oooo - how advanced"

    • Hi guys, planning to get 18x9 +25 in fronts and 18x10 +25 in rears been reading the whole thread and cant really find anything   Anyone know if these will fit a r34 gtt with no scrubbing or guard work needed?
    • They usually get made by hand as part of any such swap.
    • Was planning on getting an R35 MAF and the adapter, should this be okay? Also any idea where I could get my hands on an intake pipe?
    • I mean yes, if you're starting from scratch on an unknown engine yes you don't need to be doing all kinds of math in the background but if you're doing relatively minor changes like AFM + injectors + boost up with some aftermarket turbos it takes quite a bit of math if you want to do something like maintain OEM fuel + timing tables but compressed and then a bit more load scale up top. I think I've spent too much time working on big engineering nightmares though so I'm a big fan of trying to constrain the scope of whatever work I'm doing as much as possible and trying to get it right before moving on. For example, a local owner just did the usual E85 + single turbo conversion to his R32 GTR and nearly burned his car to the ground doing some spirited driving up the local mountains. Turbine is unshielded and too close to the hood insulation. It's tough to balance "just get the project done" and "seemingly small details can cause massive setbacks I'm not willing to deal with".
    • No idea about Neil's steering wheel, but I have the same behaviour in the Stagea. I doubt it has ever been messed with so might be normal. Indicating to turn right at a roundabout and correcting even a little bit to the left to go around will cancel the indicator. Never considered it an issue other than it being a bit odd.
