Anybody had any dealings with this company in Qld. I'm looking at a r33 from them. They seem pretty genuine and have a great range available or coming soon. Any comments good or bad welcome!

Yeah I've dealt with Nolan Hall from Auto Terminal who's a very nice guy and will spend alot of time with you.

Just get State Roads to do a full check of the car before buying because sometimes they can slightly exaggerate the actual condition of the car.

I've been speaking to Nolan too. seems genuine over the phone. I flew over to Melb last weekend and almost bought a car, but car has had a fair amount of panel repairs - not sure I like that! It was still a nice looking car and I still might go for that one. In the meantimes I found one at Autoterminal which is exactly what I was after and appears to have no repairs! I think I will fly up to Qld and check it out! Ill be getting the RACV check on Monday for the Melb Car so that will help in making a decision. Any way thee will soon be a new Skyline in Adelaide and that is sweet thing!

Get Nolan to take extra pics of the car's interior & exterior (ie every panel) then if you still like it, get State Roads to do a Full Inspection on it before flying up there.

Get him to throw delivery of the car to Adelaide in the price, he's pretty easy going.......save you a fortune in petrol driving it back & flying up there.

I knew exactly what I wanted when looking for a car so as long as the full inspection (which includes paint thickness) goes OK, I didn't need to fly there just for a test drive.

I ended up finding a better V-Spec in Sydney which I did end up driving back though.

      CD009 RB Conversion

      That's the most absurd thing I've ever heard. I would go cut bellhousing over that monstrosity of a flywheel all day, every day. It puts a lot more mass further from the last main bearing. I've had nothing but problems with Collins in the past and refuse to ever buy their products again. I would not trust anything they tell you. He's playing his salesman card.  I'm currently at 640whp on a mustang dyno (~770bhp) with the intentions of running E85 and a lot more power this upcoming spring. Cheers,

      Nah, it's not the reduced knock margin. It is a direct mechanical effect of having to initiate the combustion earlier, while the piston is still rising, which starts to exert combustion pressure on the rising piston earlier, making the rest of the engine work harder to finish driving the piston up to TDC where the combustion pressure stops being a negative and starts being a positive. Your modern engine that only needs ~10° to make MBT doesn't waste the other 10 or so degrees of crank rotation. That's almost all of it. The difference in knock margin might go either way. Remember that modern engines to which you are currently comparing the long tractor engine (the RB) are now running super high compression, direct injection, tricky cam control and maybe even cylinder pressure sensors. You're not comparing apples with other fruit. It's apples and sea weed, or some other evolutionarily primitive vegetation. And remember, squish only really comes into play at the very end of the stroke. It certainly does good things, but it is not the biggest contributor to what's going on. It is quite possibly much less important in 4 valve head than 2 valvers also, because there is so much less squish available to a 4 valve anyway.

      Food for thought, a longer stroke motor would need less ignition timing vs. a shorter stroke motor requiring more ignition timing.

      Skid pans in/around Sydney?

      Thanks Duncan, HART is only 10 mins from me (I did my bike license there), it'd be awesome if it ran these types of things.  Sutton Road does look good and they take fewer cars than SMSP which is good.  Surely you have enough land to lay a few million tonnes of concrete and some sprinklers D?

      I thought an engine that needs more ignition timing to make power is going to result in less power due to reduced knock margin? More time for the combustion to propagate -> more time for it to heat up the rest of the mix to detonation.
