Saw this as well n was wondering what was the dilly-o. I'd suspect a RAW has let everyone know that plates will be available shortly.

It's also not cheaper than Nissan will be selling them for.

Didn't Nissan quote $140k - $160K ?

I always knew Edward lee's was full of shit. They ripped off our house mate when he put a deposit on a Silvia that he never got.

actually it's the third repost... who deleted the second one?

I did.. mwahaha..

No I didn't..

I just told them to get rid of it because it didn't belong in the NSW section..

well for future reference, if you repost something that someone else has posted (albeit in the incorrect section) then either the threads should be merged, or the first thread moved to the correct section and the reposted thread deleted. :nyaanyaa:

I posted the thread before I saw the other one in the NSW section..

Try not to get your nickers in a knot Baron :nyaanyaa:

I closed and moved it... when someone with 7 posts makes a thread which contains nothing but an advertisement for a import dealership i'm fairly sure the rules about advertising apply so it went.

As for this thread, Corinne can you at least remove the URL's and contact details, you don't want to give Edward Lee's free advertising do you?

As for what's going on, it is possible to do what Edward Lee's is saying they can do in fact it is already being done by others and I would more than likely give my money to those guys over Edward Lee's. Other workshops already have import approval for R35 GT-R's under low volume new so why would you go with Lee's who will probably bend you over that much more.

Good point Kris, Just removed.

Surely you wouldn't be so stupid to buy from Edward Lee's. Even if the car was brand new and if they were the first to get out here.

lol yeah, until Corinne posted this thread I was thinking WTF how is this information spreading so quick - I didn't realise he had spammed half of the country with his "announcement".

I laughed when I read it... he's about 3 months too late to start taking delivery of cars and about 6 months too late to be organising deposits and logistics... As you know, if you didn't get your shit together last year then good luck getting anything now.

The next dealership deliveries aren't till August so he's going to be buying at auction and throwing away his customer's money because he didn't plan ahead.

That's why I wouldn't trust the company as far as I could throw them.

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
