But it's an import. mine got rejected for being an import.

How do the ca's go?

ohh bot = not. lol pwnt. but anyways, all CA's are imports.

In fact, I'm pretty sure all S14's and S15's sold in oz are turbos. all the N/A are imports.

I'm 99% certain they put "Its cos it's an import" cos they couldn't legally put "it's cos you're arab" on your rejection.

ah yeah, true that, don't have to apply for exemption for that shiz.

CA18DE is gutless as fuck tho. As is SR20DE, RB20DE's not that bad cos you can rev it high all day every day and have good bottom end torque (being an i6), but SR and CA are both gutless down low and only good revving high. Oh and stock SR's tend to shit themselves when constantly revved high.

I'd buy an NA R33 if I were you. RB25DE is a good engine for an N/A. Just harden up and put up with the R33 body shell.

Failing that find an R32 GTS25, but good luck, they're few and far between.

Orrr... find a R32 GTS with the engine on the way out and swap in an RB25DE. Pretty straightforward swap (you can do it in a weekend) and also don't have to get it engineered.

No they don't - not if it's an engine that's available for that model car. Already asked vicroads about dropping a sr20det into GF's silvia back when she was still on Ps

"Replacement engine is identical to the original engine, or is an

option allowed by the manufacturer for the same model vehicle

The optional engine must be offered in Australia by the vehicle

manufacturer as an option for that vehicle (or certified variants). The

change of engine may be recorded by VicRoads provided that the

registered operator or a motor mechanic, or dealer in that make of

vehicle or an Automotive Engineer signs a declaration certifying the

engine is optional for the vehicle model, and that all modifications

made by the manufacturer for the same vehicle model with that optional

engine, have been completed."

meister S1 3pc. was gonna chuck em on the 32, but now they're goin on the 240z (once I do the S14 drivetrain conversion). 3.5k cos I don't wanna sell em :P but if anyone's tarded enough to give me that much for em, then I'm not gonna hold darwinian theory rob a fool of his money.

whats the specs? meisters wont suit 240z

yeah if it's a factory option then it's all good, hence RB25DE (not RB25DET). You don't even have to upgrade the brakes, cos they didn't change em in the GTS25.

What about the hubs? I don't want 4 stud herpies

    • Welcome Leigh. While it's possible someone knows something about your car, there are so many in the country, it's likely they won't. Either way, I hope you enjoy it and find the knowledge you seek here.

    • So next year I am looking at upgrading from my VE SS bomadore ute to something more refined.  I wanted to stick with a V8 but not anything German or Australian, either a coupe or a sedan. So if I wanted anything newish that limited my options to either the Lexus RCF which I quite like. But with the price they demand and a kid on the way a 2 door coupe is probably not going to be the best idea. The next best thing would be the ISF but the newest models are 2014 and commanding over 60k and even the older 2008 models in ok condition starting around 35k is kind of bullshit. So I figured if I could not have the noise I could perhaps make do with easy power. Enter the infinity Q50 or Skyline equivalent. The price difference between the 300 and 400hp models seems a bit crazy. Right now there is 300hp Q50 one on carsales from a dealer with 61km for 27k drive away. If I wanted to get a 400hp Red or 400R car the prices seem to start at 43k From my limited research it seems that the only differences are that the 400r/Red Red runs more boost and a more aggressive tune. There are are turbine speed sensors on the turbos. Has 2 pumps for the water to air intercooler. Runs an engine oil cooler. I'm guessing that the exterior trims might look a little more sporty as well. I had a lazy look for upgrades to bridge the gap on z1motorsports They have kits that upgrade the water to air heat exchanger as well as the coolant pump which should give a non Red/400r better intercooling temps than the stock Red/400r. I added an engine oil cooler with a thermostat as well to try and make things as close as possible. Obviously the ECU is going to need a tickle. Having not done much in the way of research they also sell a ECU flashing tool with pre loaded tunes that are supposed to boost the non Red/400R by 100hp which adds 1k USD to the cost. The total cost of the parts @ the current time including shipping and taxes worked out to be $4350 AUD. Personally I would rather get the car tuned on a dyno which would probably add more cost Assuming the worst that you got a workshop to install the new parts I would guess no more than 5 hours would be required in the worst case @ 5 x $150 per hour = $750 So the total cost could be around $5100 So for easy number 5k + 27K = 32k I guess that would leave some change left over to swap out the open diff and fit a LSD Any thoughts?      
    • Right, not sure why I thought it to be a lean spike. It might be fixable with modern card-style hot film MAFs which have some design features to avoid counting reversion flow but I've never tried it myself.
