guess ill have to drive one sometime to see what the fuss is. factory recaros sounds nice, probably still factory heavy though.

Guy i know through work has a modified one in Tassie.... always been tempted to buy it at Tassie price, drive for a bit then sell for profit here. who says JDM styling is a bad thing :P

Wouldn't buy any car from Tassie after knowing what panelshops would do and send down there and the dealers would sell

Lol immigration.

will have to do this soon, the new EOI system is quite a pita isn't it?

I've also got to go for IELTS, but me no spik engrish.

Going through it now with Maggie, so far no issues. However it's a long drawn out process now, about 3 years

Seems my engine has a restriction!

Making 260rwkw on E85, only 8rwkw up from my 98 result...albeit with good gains down low and in the midrange. So something is choking it up top. RP and I suspect it may be the cat converter, so tomorrow it's getting made more "functional" and then retuned.

Could also be return flow cooler. Could also be turbo too small. Could be any of the things that make my car look as stock and legal as possible. Not fussed about top end; I switched to ethanol for the awesome mid range, but would be good to walk away from the exercise with a few more ponies up top if we can sort out the restriction.

    • Wait, the flappy paddles or sequential is the small penis indicator?  Either way, I can't afford it.
    • You and me both. If I ever get it running again, I'll have to look into cruise control.
    • Yeah most people that have heard it said it was fine but it's always had me slightly worried. Oil pressure I can't remember off the top of my head but it has plenty, I run 10w60 You're probably right mate, best get ordering some shims! Guessing Nissan is the best place for them?
    • Just wanna preface this and point out I'm a mechanical fitter by trade but have had very little rebuild/machining experience, but I am keen to learn, hence this project. Bit of a write up here so bear with me, just want to make sure I do this right  I've got an rb30e currently pulled down. Planning on putting a 25 head on it and running it in my s14.  Not chasing huge power so I'm just going to try get away with factory bottom end for now.  Started measuring the crank the other day, realised my budget daytona micrometer set wasn't up to the task (surprise, I know). They only measure to 0.01mm but the Nissan specs are to 0.001mm. Anyway, I started measuring anyway and came away with the mains being inline with the oem spec, as well as the big ends, except for no. 5. I consistently got a measurement of a hair over 49.96mm, where all the others were pretty spot on 49.97mm. The lower spec for grade no.1 is 49.961mm. I'm getting access to some better gear my next days off to double check everything, but in the case that the big end is right on that bottom spec, is it pretty much just a case of straight to the machine shop for machining and oversized bearings? I understand I need to measure the tunnel as well to work out my oil clearance, but it's the different grade bearings in the manual that are confusing me. What is generally the process when one journal would still technically be in spec, but in a different grade?  Thanks for coming to my Ted talk
    • You need to visit Ipswich. Plenty of clapped out R32 and R33s running around here as daily drivers. And when I say clapped out, they're how you'd look at a VN, when it's the year 2010...
