Damn....is exactly what I was after. Have just seen his for sale ad here. Do you know what he got for it? Importing one myself is looking like a reasonable option. Anyone here imported and complied skylines in the NT. Are the rules similar to other states? Is it easy to register it here after it has been complied in another state?

I purchased mine in Melbourne arrived in Darwin with only compliance paper work went straight over the pits with no hassles at all. The other option is to see Dave Chetam at Hi Tech Tuning he has 2 skylines for sale at the moment or can source one for you

Thanks for that DEVO. I take it you have an r33 gtr? Was looking to bring in an 89 model gtr with a heap of mods already done. Cant seem to find anything on the web about mods on vehicles in the NT. Your gtr standard or modded? If modded what did they say about any of those mods? These skyline at Dave Chetams, are they gtr's?

Hey all,

As most of you are aware my wife and i have a little one on the way and i need to buy a station wagon (dont laugh if you dont what i am getting). To fund this my R32 GTS4 will be up for sale in 2 months. It has been mildly modded and is very reliable. I will be looking for around $23-24k. FYI, standard ones are going for around the 18k mark. PM me for details or call me on 0417 5777 44.

Ta

Ken

I Have My Skyline Tuned At Daves No Complantes. We Will See How Well He Did On It On Friday At The Street Meet Only Modifications On Car Are Cam Gears Clutch Local Made Exaust And Power Fc. It Was Punching Out 220kw At Rear Wheels. Brett The Car Was Standard When Imported, I Wanted A Standard One That Hadn't Been Tampered With. What A Expensive Decision. Next Time I Would Do It Different.

Yeah devo thanks for that. Would be interested to hear why you say that. Was it stuffed when you got it or just the expense of adding the mods yourself? Is there a short version of your story? hehe. Originally thats what I wanted to do...get something stock as a rock but having seen what is on offer in japan and the money these guys have spent on their cars, and the little extra we have to pay to have a car with all these mods done (as long as I can get it registered!) I figured even if there were a few problems with it, I would come out way ahead.

RBNT...what line of work are you in?...you import cars and parts? would you be able to help me with my GTR import?

Brett I Would Do It Different Next Time Because Of The Expense Of Doing Your Self, Nothing Is Cheap For The Skyline. Buying Standard Was Good In That The Car Is In Great Condition. But Parts Are So Expensive. Just Because You Own A Gtr Everone Thinks You Are Loaded. So Buying Moded Can Save Lots Of Cash.

      Honda's hybrid system can be easily scaled up to PHEVs. Series hybrid at low speeds, at higher speeds the engine directly drives the wheels but there can still be some power bled off to charge the battery + the electric motor can still provide parallel assistance too. It's really only a question of will at that point. Toyota's PHEVs are selling incredibly well at the moment because of the flexibility. You can run on EV mode when it makes sense, but if you're planning on doing a long highway drive you can still fire up the gas engine and not have to worry about dealing with the rather miserable state of public charging infrastructure.

      How "plug and play" is the Haltech Pro for R33 GTST

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Only reason to keep a MAF on your RB25 is to be able to easily calculate true VE if you know what the factory voltage curve represents in grams per second of flow. Also allows you to do things like pull the original OEM ignition + AFR target tables and use those as a starting point for your base map. Once you're well and truly done tuning though there's no need to retain the MAF.

      Do you think they'll merge there performance divisions and we'll end up HoMo?

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Very true, if buying new, I would not get an PP either. Minimum is an Elite 2500, which is also considered outdated. Get something that supports DBW, delete that cable throttle. Best thing I've ever done to the Skyline, next best is refreshing the A/C with a new condenser. It's cold, but not as cold as modern car, but colder than most 90s JDM shit boxes imported into Australia.

      Haltech have a nice comparison table between the Elite and Nexus models -  https://www.haltech.com/ecu-buyers-guide/ In general, the Nexus is better. Haltech have some nice product videos on their YouTube page, I'd have a look at those and if you're still not confident what way to go, I'd give them a call. They have the best customer support of any company I've dealt with, I'm sure they'll be able to help you out.
