Plug away but they couldnt help me with a price for a turbo halfcut only the DD, didnt seem interested.

There not the best with prices becuase they dont seem to know what things are worth. I went there and named a price, got my parts.

Well whatever you do DONT stuff up your headlights like I did. Called everywhere for a spare and Just Jap want $700 for a single light with a large scratch on the lens. A new one from Nissan is $2583.00 for ONE light....

I will hold out and see if I can find anything cheaper. The light still works and looks OK, I am just fussy.

Here are some iPhone shots.

I blacked out the top of the rear lights too.

Its not that simple, and I managed to ruin my passenger light.

I called them about the engine, they want $4500, a grand more than they paid for the whole car... I could import a complete straight car from japan for around that.

Not much else usable left on that thing but the engine lol

... while on the topic of engines. does anyone know out of interest, how much modding would be required to a nissan maxima vq25de to go into the stagea with the added turbo?

just wondering if that is a cheaper option, obviously providing you don't have to replace or upgrade half the motors internals.

to hit 1bar of boost i guarantee the pistons are different at the very least, valves would be too i imagine. externally there are plenty also!

the block itself might be the same, but i dont think anyones opened them up yet! no one in australia anyway

VQ35DE would be a cheaper and better option wouldn't it?

I have heard the stock 3.5 has issues at the power level i'm at now. You would have to do the bearings, rods, pistons and rings at a minimum, with either bottom end, if you were to keep the turbo.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.

      Wives never seem to find things funny. Especially when they're trying to sleep, and you've found the new funniest thing ever. I've never seen someone be able to get try and be cranky with me, while they're holding back fits of laughter... 😛   Also, I tell mine it's payback anyway. She has BiPolar. So the household can get quite emotionally wild at times 😛

      I'm not up to date on the latest, but for basic modifications like pod filter, lower springs etc you can get a modification permit at the time of inspection.  For more serious modifications you will need engineering.  Intercoolers used to fall into the mod permit rule but its been a long while since i looked it up.   Either way you will be able to get it registered, just a case of $300 vs $3k .

      WA PITS: Am I screwed?

      Hi everyone! I’m the new owner of a 1996 R33 GTS-T, I’ve purchased this car over from Queensland and brought it to Western Australia and I’ve found that there is a hole cut out in the engine bay for the FMIC that enters into the wheel well (fender liners are in the boot). For anyone that has had to get their car over the PITS here, will this be a major issue?
