R there any good importers in Rocky?

There are importers, but opinions vary. I personally went through a guy in Perth.

No, it's done all by phone and internet.

I rang him, after doing some research and hearing nothing but good, said "I want this", he said "No worries", the next morning, my mailbox was full of cars in the specs I requested, and so I picked and chose. I picked the one I've got now, won it at auction, then it got shipped over here, complianced and I went down to Gold Coast to pick it up. All I had to do was to pay for things and make sure paperwork got where it was going. Was good.

importing 4wds has become more difficult with the new sevs rules. I'm not sure exactly whats eligible but I think its about only the 15 y.o 4wd that are able to be imported readily .... I do know you can;t import cruisers anymore because of their power to weight ratio isn't good enough to fit the rules.

First car was mum's Mazda 808, which has now become mine again, because my car before the Skyline was a 1988 Suzuki Vitara:

I gave that to the old girl because she couldn't afford to buy a new one...

And the importing isn't annoying or hard. It's very straightfoward. The guy in Perth gave me a good checklist for the process, but yes, had to wait about 6-7 weeks from the moment the bank gave me the money to the moment I snapped the tail out on the first corner.

Scibs you going to drag the 33 so you can have a time to compare the performance difference between 2.5L and 3L?

Yeah, I will be. Hopefully I won't destroy anything that will divert funds away from the 3L or new suspension (Which I need more than the 3L). Probably only do about 5-6 runs and call it a day. I want a good idea of what it's capable of, not a destroyed Skyline.

    • Because that’s not what any of them are building these heads or blocks for. It’s to hold over over 1000hp at the wheels without breaking and none of that stuff is required to make power 
    • Dort sounds above 3k rpm are dorty 🤣 I might krinkle black the alloy 🤔
    • It makes you wonder, all these people starting to make a billet replacement head, I wonder if any have thought about trying to adapt tech from newer engines into them. You're already at the full design stage to make a billet head... Why not really spice it up and had some more modern tech into the mix too...
    • Connect all the plumbing up properly. The actual worst part about having the turbo unable to actually build boost, is you can and likely would over soon the turbo if you drove the car (free rev while stationary isnt likely to manage it).   If you do have an air leak as Duncan suggested, you'll have a bad time as the AFM will be saying different to reality.   As you have had the engine out, I'd go over all electrical connections again. If you have a consult cable, plug it in, and see what the ECU thinks is going on. Did you touch the timing belt? If so, double check your timing on the gears is correct AND put a timing light on it while it's idling and see what ignition setting you have. Is the AFM you've installed the one that was in the car previously? You said you replaced seals, what seals exactly? What have you had apart?   From memory when I had my RB25DET with factory throttle, there was two plugs the TPS plug on the loom could go to. One would leave the car running like shit, the other made it work, I think one plug on the TPS area was for something else (an option). It's too many years since I saw that part of the loom to remember properly though.   Is the car idling smooth (as smooth as an RB can)? Does it smell fuelled up?   I have a feeling either timing in timing belt is off, or a sensor isn't right.
    • Theres still skid pan and motokhana days up in QLD at least that are $100 or less. The ones that are ran as "driver training" less so, they're expensive, but just normal skid pan days like SAU ran are still low cost. And thats one of the places I learned to be a lariken, purely by asking for passenger rides, and how people were doing crazy things. Reese gave me plenty of pointers back in the day for skid pan! And yes Duncan, I will never forget your pointers for track work. Especially after Neil got out saying "I am NEVER getting in the car with him again!" 😛
