Import Survey

[Carbon 34]

you need those cars in 3 days or your brother gets it?

you have seen the corvette engined 240z on the net yea?

yeah my mate had a 280z with a 70 cast iron LT1 vette engine in it, but his was low budget rust bucket. Id like a new alloy vette engine in one

more fiberglass then steel model, old dattos rust too easy lol and the short rear end 240z just loves to be sideways on every corner with that much torque

boeing 747... they are imported vehicles too

[AndrewJZX100]

Not long ago I would've said JZX100 Chaser but these days I'd be leaning more towards the UZS171 Crown Majesta.

nissan cube slammed in the weeds, huge sub wall with more watts then killawatts

Lamborghini Countach (Those body lines, need I say more?)

Aston Martin DB5 (Because its just so damn sexy for its time)

Toyota Prius (Because I love electric vehicles and since theres no full time electric, I'll have to settle for a hybrid)

AC Shelby Cobra 427 (Because if you cant get laid in this car, cut it off)

1967 Ford Mustang (The original ponycar, still a killer)

66/67 1st Gen Chevy Camaro (What a sexy mofo)

Mercedes Benz Unimog (Best troop carrier ever)

AH-1 Helicopter Gunship (Because thats how ballers roll)

R34 GT-t series 2, coupe 5 speed manual, new suspension (no gay coilovers a proper spring and shock setup) uprated brakes just new fluid, pads, and discs, nice set of 18 inch rims, and a simple engine mods to get to a reliable 200 rwkw, front mount, full exhaust, hi-flo cat, and a computer with a decent tune should do it nicely, APEXi RSM (i loved the one on my old car) and that would make me very happy. I could afford to do it right now realistically but i'd rather keep doing motorbike stuff. I'll have another R34 one day for sure though.

hey that sounds like my car,,lol those mods on a series 2 car produce a bit more then 200kw..more like 230 -250kw.. they use better cams , hi torque models and start off life with 206kw , way more low end torque that you can feel . i know of a car just like mine , same mods only a tiptronic GTT S2 that dyno'd at 245kw on good fuel..might dyno mine someday for giggles.

mates r34 had the same mods and pulled 191kw on a mainline dyno!

[kralster]

well my bog stock series 1 r34 pulled 157 rwkw from memory, so i think around 200 would be enough for some fun. Personally i'd rather spend 5 grand on handling over 5 grand on power but i've always been a corners guy.

[Carbon 34]

bought plans for one of these Porsche 914 Chalon kits back about 15 years ago only a wide body V8 model,,, Had one flog me into submission on the race track once when I ran my RX7 and 1200,, so bloody fast and handled really well for a rear engine v8, and cheap to buy back then, looked hot with lambo wing on it, no roof targa

series 1 R34 didnt come with 206kw stock, only S2

The new Neo engine has a considerable torque improvement; 343nm is now achieved at 3200rpm the previous nissan skyline had a maximum of 295NM at 4800RPM, outright power was also improved to 206kw. Changes to the engine included a new NEO head which contains solid lifters and revised variable valve timing A slightly larger exhaust housing on the turbo is used to improve flow, and the compressor wheel is now made of Nylon to reduce lag. A larger side mounted intercooler

but I like corners, and decent power. and a good stereo...lol if I wanted a race car it wouldnt be a skyline GTT for my first choice..lol

[kralster]

ahh yeah they did, the only difference between series 1 and series 2 r34's was the torque which was slightly higher in the series 2.

[Damo_R34]

series 1 R34 didnt come with 206kw stock, only S2

That 206kw is at the flywheel too, so subtract a bit for rwkw. Mine has pretty much the exact mods that Kralster mentions and makes just over 200, to go any more you really need a bigger turbo or highflow.

[RubyRS4]

Well seeing as the title says "import vehicle" ... I'd like:

MV Agusta F4 Claudio Castiglioni edition Evo!

$120,000 (only 100 produced)

1078cc F4 motor

147kw and 125Nm @ 181kgs

Top speed 355kph!!!

And mountains of Brembo and Ti goodies!

[kralster]

and like i said my bone stock r34 made 157 rwkw so 206 at the fly seems fairly resonable.
