on your P's?

I applied and had it authorised within a week I think.

I bought my stag on my P's too

Well according to Vicroads site all M35's are banned.

http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/NR/exeres/2CCDA928-0B07-404D-B6A5-F14AC2356E20.htm

Using 1550 as the weight which is the only figure I could find and 200KW it has a power to weight of 129kw/Tonne which is out of what they're supposed to allow anyhow.

But it puts it at the same Power to weight as an R33 4 door 1390/180.

Surely this means it's worth a shot?

Edit: But Vicroads site uses redbook which would mean the AR-X listed as 206KW has a p/w of 133/t.

if you PLAN to mod it, even the basics, BUY one with the mods already done

given its a buyers market you should get a few basic mods for a "stock" price

no one buys a stock skyline these days, its pointless

imho you should at least get a "stock" R33 with

wheels, ehxaust, intercooler, good tyres and maybe a piggyback of some sort

i would call that stock

STOCK ECR33 would be worth jack all

as in stock exhaust, std side mount, stock wheels

^ this

find one with the basic mods first, you'll almost certainly do them anyway -

- nice set of rims

- turbo back exhaust

- FMIC (i would go a return flow FMIC as no holes will have to be cut, standard airbox can be kept etc etc a lot more stealth)

- ECU of some sort

- some suspension mods (swaysbars are great pieces of kit, but coilovers are cheap-as these days with a bunch of brands to choose from, so shouldn't be too hard to find one with coilovers done)

but definitely check the for sale section on SAU, as quite often you can get a good history of the car which you can follow-up with a state roads, etc and also more likely to have someone own the car that actual cares for it, ie more of an ethusiast

good luck

    • I haven’t taken them out of the cases yet    inside the box is this packaging which is pretty much like a massive blister pack 
    • Purchased a NC MX5 a while ago Basic suspension mods done, BC coils and Whiteline sway bars  New DBA calipers, discs and pads Added some 17 x 8 Konig Decagrams with 215/45 17 PS5's Added some typical NA bolt on's, i.e. full exhaust and intake  Added 0.5ltrs with a MZR2.5 swap, nice bump in torques  Found a detachable hard top which is locked in for a colour match with my local paint shop in Feb 25, this also includes some PDR as it has received a few love taps from parking in the local shops when in the hands of my Minister for War and Finances, me, I park nowhere near other cars and typically park on the street The little thing is awesome, I drive it everywhere, it handles like a dream whether I'm up it or just cruising  But now,  because I'm a idiot, I keep looking at turbo kits....... did I mention I'm a idiot Why is dose so appealing  All of the NA 2.5 glory, well.......until sometime in 2025 anyway....🤪  
    • I would not be surprised if you are the only person on earth that has the interest/desire to do that lol.  The Haltech base map is a really good starting point, the car will fire easily and drive very well, even on mild boost levels. To me, following your advice sounds like some sort of ancient Chinese water torcher lol (this is not an insult Josh, never change <3)
    • Those car show concepts from the 2000's and 2010's like the Floria and IDx were brilliant and should've gone ahead, at least one of them. But neither Honda nor Nissan are thinking about affordable performance any more, which is truly sad.  Even if Toyota's liquid hydrogen ICE development reaches the point where it's commercially viable and the infrastructure to support it, Honda/Nissan would have to wait until Toyota allow fee access to their patents to offer it with any smaller performance models they released to take advantage of it.  
    • A sporty manual RWD coupe with a IL4 Honda engine would only be a good thing I assume we won't see anything released for a few years though, unless informal talks and designs have been going on for a few years,  and due to the current, and future, emmisions and safety requirements, I assume anything "sporty" they would do would be at least some hybrid thingie And hopefully anything they are thinking of has nice lines, without lots of plastic and fake bits hanging off it like that horrendous FK8 that looked like it was designed by a 13 year old The other issue of course in the current market is cost, currently the type R is around $70k, a twin is around $50k Meh, I'm old and grumpy and would rather buy a older model car and waste my coin on that than buying anything currently available new
