of course it was imported haha, i did the import myself, you can't get them anymore though...

122xxxkm... it's a turbo convert - so originally was a non turbo. suck2bu!

haha

plus - id be happy to ship it over to you and alter price to fit your budget, butttttttt i dont think you would be able to get it registered over in NSW man sorry

Ohh really? Why don't you think it could be registered? But anyway Damnn, I have to say your car looks mint!

oh but it is my dear :miner:

thanks man...

ummm i don't know??? i'm not from NSW so i don't know how "transferral of ownership" goes down over there... i'm only going on assumption though... and i'm not about to pressure you into buying it then going to all this struggle to freight it to you (within your budget of course) only to have your spirits hopes n dreams crushed by the gubberment, you know?

i mean, i'd love for you to have the car no doubt... and i'd work out something price wise to cater for freight cos i know what it's like when you're a new driver, you want something wicked...

if you can sort out rego somehow or call your gaverning body... i think it's RTA or something... sort it out with them n give it some thought!

EDIT - wait it's turbo... can't have it haha... i had all the nonturbo parts to convert but i have probably chucked them in the bin hey sorry mate!

If your registering a car in NSW from interstate it has to be deregistered and blueslipped, same process as if it had been out of rego for 3 months or more. Not fun :P

$7K is too much for an auto NA Silvia too. I'd steer clear of an auto Silvia no matter how cheap it is, the manuals are a much nicer car, and thats coming from someone who wishes they had a manual somedays from driving a triple plate in Newi! Another vote for something like a SSS, not bad cars. My mate had an N14 SSS as a first car, went alright but they have a very cheap and nasty interior. My NA Celica was quicker tho :) I'd pocket the left over cash until you can get something turboed, the NA Silvia's/Supras/Skylines etc aren't all that fantastic especially considering the massive price premium on them with the current p plater laws.

      You have the option to do this. Nobody but me ever did this (go slower, I mean) Everyone seems to fall victim to "This would be a great setup for you, but for me, I need a little more power..."

      Save yourself the headache of an alarm. Immobilizer on the signal side of the main EFI relays so it won't start is good enough. DIY killswitch is the same thing except instead of a nice passive system you need to remember to switch it on and off.

      Yeah, the advent of canbus was supposed to cut down on wiring weight, then some bright marketing wonk says "oh, look at all these wonderful tech gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some arsehole safety legislator says "oh, look at all the wonderful surveillance and tracking gadgets we can cram in here now that we have this wonderous technology" and some dipshit young engineer who has grown up thinking that an extra 500000 lines of code is not a problem because storage is cheap these days says "oh look at all this wonderful shit I can do to one up those dipshit arsholes over at VW" and the Karens of the world all go "oh look at all these fancy things I can do on my screen (so long as I am not driving on a bumpy road wherein touch screens immediately become the single most stupid shit idea ever shoveled into a car) and my 19 zone airconditioning keeps my sweaty fat folds a bit less damp and the windows close themselves because I'm too fat and lazy to wind them up for myself and these reversing sensors would have been great if I'd paid attention to them instead of smashing them on the bollard while I was reversing and staring fixedly forward that day I went to pick up little Charlize from ballet" and the sweaty mongoloids who say "oh this wonderful collision avoidance technology with these 45 excellent radar antennae scattered across the front of my car mean I can tailgate like a methed up tradie at full speed with no fear because the car and the 35 airbags will protect me if it all goes wrong" ...... </shallistopranting?>

      There's a post from a member (can't recall who), went down the path of a twin scroll G30-660 and it's doing over 300kW+ AND comes on about the same as a high flow RB25DET turbo. Have your cake and eat it too in this case. TBH, if I had a 2nd chance of building my car again (i.e. someone gave me what I wanted for my shit box, but the deal was I had to re-build another R33 and keep the change) I would just pop in a stock NEO motor (with new seals, rod bearings, ARP studs, head gasket, sump, Nitto pump), get a smaller twin scroll turbo, modify the stock low mount (keep the divider in place), and make a solid 300kW on 98RON and call it a day.
