Just want to know. Who have owned and seen Impul's car in Australia. What are the difference between a famous jap tuning house built car compare to a normal skyline GTR or GTST in price?? And do you think they are collectable item? :sadam:

i paid a fair bit for my car because i knew what it was and knew what it was worth, I didnt haggle the price or anything because i loved the car at first sight and just went bang and put the cash on the table.

the salesman was also very good.

he said alot of people had looked at my car and said, "what the hell is that? " or "who would pay that much $ for a stupid 4 door skyline". I love it and its vey rare, and people are always turning their head for another look.

I believe under the new SEVS scheme you will never see those cars being imported into Australia either anymore. Which makes them even rarer :D

Original ones would have to be separately crash tested and certification as a separate vehicle -- costing into the many $10's of thousands. One of the downers of the new import system :) all you're going to get on the road are bog standard R33 or R34. How boring. Even special factory editions you're never going to see :(

Of course, there are some of us that can got the private import route... remember?

btw, just purchased the 1/18 scale model of the r32 calsonic impul jgtc car to go with my collection.  just have to brave the cyclone and go and pick it up tomorrow.  should be fun.

we're gettin pretty smashed up here on the sunny coast.

IMPUL-R33R, good work :)

I also brought a 1/18 scale Calsonic Impul (no.12) I paid A$104 for it last year. I believe that will become a collection item.

One of these was for sale on Yahoo Japan. From the top of my head, they want about 4-5 Million Yen or there abouts.

Edit: To be clear I mean a Impol/Calsonic R32 GT-R like the one pictured in your link.

LW.

The Calsonic/Impul R32 is back up for auction.

      New fix for low tyre pressure from bmw

      By The Bogan · Posted

      HUMVEE are fine in big open areas, but they are problematic on the street and tight areas As for reliability, some of the  US Army guys I have chatted with have said that when they were working they were fine, but, the do spend alot of time in workshops for multiple reasons, admittedly, they did get a hard time by the boys and girls who drove them I would definitely put them in the "buyer beware" category  They do look tough as nails though

      Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.

      Another little story of weird shit happening

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.

      braided lines for the turbos

      By sunsetR33 · Posted

      I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
