For the price you pay for a R34 GTR you can get a maserati. :down:

No you can't lol...

Are u sure about that my mate just got a Black with red leather 34,000miles Maserati 3200GT on the road for around $48,000 threw a complience centre in melbourne. He paid 12k pounds for the car from manchester and took him about 4months to have the car landed and on the road. You will see it around chatswood got silver and black plates indian guy driving it.

He paid $50k for a temperamental car that is a UK import with high Milage???? Your friend got ripped off big time... I'd pay that money for an Aussie delivered one, not a grey import one...

GT-R32: Lol if ur thinking of importing a ferrari from the uk go for a 4 seater e.g 456 or 550M cause they tend to lose value over their quicker.

Last thing you should do is buy a UK import 4 seater, for starters they are cheap as shit over here in Australia already (for ferrari prices i mean), 2nd is they don't sell because they are not sought after, and last of all by looking at your other posts you have put up on the subject, I wouldn't believe a single word you say, you have no idea what your on about...

Eghey is full of scam artists, be careful.

Cars in the UK can suffer from rust real bad due to salt on the roads.

I refuse all tis gibberish. I will import a F355 and it WILL be cheaper than getting one here. :blush:

http://www.usedcartrader.co.uk/vehicles/ov...355--1489201515

F355's are starting @ 10 000GBP in the UK ( too bad their mr2 replicas but look good replicas lol), but 30 000 pounds will get you a decent F355, they range to a top of about 60 000 pounds. Depends on condition ect... but whats the going price here? $130-$220k, the prices in Australia are a joke.

PS: a private import of any car will be harder to sell unless the price is attractive.

A new f430 costs here from $600-$800k depending on extras + onroad costs....

Same car bought brand new in the UK is 180 000 british pounds which = $300k Australian. Our 2nd hand 2005 model f430's don't sell for under $300k here.

I was going to buy a 360 here in OZ ($200k price tag here, or a $80-$90k Aud equivalent over there), but i'm moving to Austria/Germany at the end of 2011, thought i'd wait and actually save the money to buy property in Europe and use the car over there where they can actually be used properly without getting damaged by stupid potholes on sydney roads, not get speeding fines (planning to move to Innsbruck which is only 25 minutes from munichs autobahns).

Also the price of parts are cheap as chips there, MAserati sydney quoted me $8500 for a new throttle body, I bought a genuwine throttle body from the UK, that sourced it from Italy for $2000 including the cost of air freight. I still find it dessapointing by GM and Holden when you can buy a brand new CV8 Monaro cheaper in Europe than you can here in Australia and the cars are made here. This is why so many people and companies have made money importing cars, but importing cheap r32's and r33's arnt where the profits are, the profit is in the high end market

      CD009 RB Conversion

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      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.
