spotted yesterday arvo across the road from the beaches... a stock as lexus is200.... stock height, stock rims, but 3 guys looking under the bonnet... all i could see was polished bits and blue silicon hoses and a massive turbo... it has new style yellow plates... watch out for this one fellas... looks nuts.

Spotted white R32 going through Cardiff Round-a-about at about 6:30 last night, and also keep spotting the stock-looking Maroon R33 with plates JE33SS (or similar) Chick drives it :)

And thought I might ask, there's usually a dark blue R34 parked out the front of Cardiff Toyota/Subaru/Mazda etc and a Silver R33 also.

My mate knows the guy that owns that car. Its got 450HP at the wheels. He is going for more, should be putting out over 500 soon

Followed a Silver R32 2dr with no wing at about 6:30 from about the airport tonight. Unfortunately he boosted off once the double lanes came and didnt see him again after that.

Spotted a white R33 gtst with what looked like a 400R front bar?? Was following you from the Ourimbah freeway exit past the shell and down Enterprise Drive. I was in a silver Rav4 behind you :P

think you have to pm him for that one... i rememeber when he first started... he wanted serious customers only... so he didnt have piss jerkers hanging around all the time.. not sure if everyone knows it now or he still keeps it a secret.

cheers

its no real secret..my mate has a 5 bay shed at Whitebridge...1 bay strictly for engine work and plenty of room for a couple of race cars (our drag car and circuit car). Its not a full time operation...more like a hobby...but its decked out will all the tools and parts we need. We are looking into a full time set-up...but unfortunately not in Newcastle because the money's not here to make it viable.

    • My purchase experience was no where near as glorious as yours but still a significant moment in my life! Yeah that's a bit of a dilemma as to whether you bring it back or not!  Obviously a massive waste of time and effort to bring it back if you're only going to move there anyway!
    • To be fair passengers who aren't silly and have been in proper fast cars have often been pretty impressed once you hit 4th gear   
    • I suppose that's true. Barring almost any situation, I'll never sell so what the market does is kind of irrelevant to me. It's possible I'd make most of my money back. That spreadsheet I mentioned? Maybe I could make back more than what the car's total costs thus far are, but the parts and all that is possibly a different story... Thanks for reading. It was certainly a good moment and just makes the ties to the car that much stronger. It's exciting that the option will be there to bring it over, however I have some plans with a shop that may end up keeping the car there longer, not sure. Coupled with the fact I want to move there and haven't solidified any path yet. So in a way, it feels like I'm in a limbo state that is uncertain; time will tell.
    • No worries, everything worked out in the end. I just wanted to make the point that it doesn't matter where it comes from (I.E Australia), it can be broken or improperly built. I would still purchase from these companies in the future. B2R - Not certain how that finished, this was on a car I wired a few things and street tuned. I know the owner ended up shipping the motor back to Australia for investigation. Hopefully some of it is covered under warranty.  Turbosmart - I always pressure test everything that goes on my car. It's a habit from my career in oil and gas. I run two 40mm's and both had major leaks from the actuator to exhaust portion through the shaft. I returned both, they shipped me back two and one was leaking and the other had a 38mm top (40mm gate with 38mm actuator cap, no idea how that happens). Eventually after a lot of back and forth I found myself with two non-leaking gates. I believe this happens a lot more then people would like to believe but you would never know if you don't pressure test them prior to installation. Crank Motorsport - Issued a full refund and let me keep the seat rails. I turned them into scrap metal for other projects. GKTech - Shipped me out a replacement and asked that I modify it as per my idea and that they would do the same for a future revision. ATP - Can just needed a large shim to bolt up properly.  Haltech - They started an actual proper Beta channel for firmware's a few months back and stopped using the general public for testing. I'm now much happier.  Speedtek - f**k Speedtek. I would love to watch them burn.
