Jay, i've also seen this Wine Red example around Tuggeranong, i got so excited about it, mum didn't quite understand why.

Hahaha, me too. I almost twisted my head off my neck watching it go by :D

Yepp, this red one is a 96 or 97 RS Four, just what I'm aiming for. :)

I've been trying to get a 260RS imported for about a month now, apparently there aren't any compliance shops that do it. I was told that if i imported one, a workshop might want to use it as a test bed, but i couldn't be bothered doing that. I've given up on it now and i'm trying to source a manual '99 or '00 RS Four, but they're almost as hard to find

Have you tried Success Motor Imports in Vic?03 9596 9818...Or,apparently,C-Red in W.A. also had a 260RS(or two)still available.

H.P.i.,number 22:"Just make sure you've got a big box of Kleenex to wipe the dog's slobber off the back window after you've just done a rev-limiter launch."The opening story about a traffic light duel with a Porsche Carrer is hilarious,too!Autech?Oh yeah!!

It's not exactly that, but paying $60k when it's not certain if the car can be complied that worries me.

G'day Shell - how you been?

Yepp, the poor old R33 was written off :rofl: I might post up some pics just for memory sake...

The payout finally came through this week so I'm in the hunt for a Stagea :) I've let J-Spec know that I'm keen on one (Dark blue, leather interior, sunroof), and he's keeping an eye out for me. There's also 2 up in QLD (one hasn't got a sunroof), but it's a pain buying from interstate ;)

Just gotta play the waiting game now..

    • Reasonably hard, although I haven't run it with the new Endless setup yet. The old brakes were F50's on 335mm rotors and the car did a 1:40.6 at Phillip Island which is a reasonable time, I'm seeing high 600s on the temperature paint. A guy I know ran the Endless fluid at WTAC without issues and he was doing 1:33's I think (Evo) with a 355/332 setup. I don't get out to the track as much as I'd like but we put the car on the hoist and spanner check every bolt and re-paint mark everything, bleed the brakes, change the fuel, check the coolant system and re-bleed blah blah blah before every event. Motorsport is expensive, RB's are expensive so a couple of hours before an event is time well spent. It's also a net time saving because if you can keep your RB from self destructing it saves you time in the long term!
    • Welcome Alice......hope you have a bit more luck from here on! What was done in the build?  
    • Hello! I'm new here, I have an R33 GTST that is currently being finished up! Last year was pretty rough, blew two stock turbos so I decided to build the car. Has been down since November, but I get it back next weekend!
    • Hello, I believe my car was imported to America in the 2000s by Kaizo Industries. Would anyone be able to help me find more info on them? I've only found all the basic stuff like that paul walker bnr34, them being shutdown by feds, just stuff like that. Any help would be much appreciated, thanks!
    • I am using Motec M150.  I am not working on the car myself actually.  My workshop is giving all these info, they are quite reputable in the industry and are very familiar with Motec and RBs and have done a few big setups with VCam and single turbo on RBs.  In fact, they built and tuned my engine from day one.  But they are stumped with my engine at the moment and cannot work out how come the compression is so low with the VCam. They told me that they have now swapped in some Kelford cams (without the VCam) and can achieve around 130psi compression and the low end torque is better, but now the engine is doughy as.  It boosts and peaks at more than 1000rpm slower, with twin HKS GTIII RS, it doesn't get full boost until over 5000rpm. I have always thought the VCam was a bit disappointing at the low rpm. To a point I had to ride the clutch a fair bit to get up a small hill from stand still.  That was when I had a clutch.  Now changing to a 8HP, I don't have that luxury and this problem has become a major issue. I am beginning to think the VCam never work since the day it was installed.  Maybe it was just sitting at the most advanced point, that is why it went good at top end but very ordinary at the bottom.  Therefore, with the help of the Holinger 6 speed and paddle shift, as long as it was moving, it drove pretty good.
