Hi,

Sorry some confusion there, I didn't have the R33 and The RX at the same time, I sold the skyline to fund the RX.

I'm hoping for a nice sorted toy - but I need to establish myself first before I can even think about that, as I'm sure I'm going to have loads of other things I will need to sort.

I've always wanted and R34 though, along with a Supra - they are the only 2 jap cars I want that I have not owned yet, but I've been looking at R34's over there and they cost a fair whack. I do wonder though if I should just save for a LONG time and look at a new GTR - yet another I want to own, but damn, they are expensive there too....

haha, a shopping list before I even arrive!! I sure things used to be cheaper in Oz, when I first started modifying cars!! Most of my RX7 gear came from the states - turbo included.

This is also a ho topic - fist time I have ever started one of those!!

Time is dragging a little here now, I can't wait to get over!!!

Hey Mulv,

Just follow these simple rules and you shouldn't have any issues.

1. Don't dump your car on its ass.

2. Don't run straight pipes.

3. Don't put a BOV on it.

4. Keep the car clean looking and body kits to the minimal ( For example A D1 spec R kit may draw more attention then optional stock body kits)

5. Don't run Baller 12inch Rims with a negative offset Running on a set of tires that are holding on for dear life and not expect to get pulled over.

6. Last but not least stay out of the Smithfield. :rofl2: lol had to add that one in

Its called stealth and for the majority of us its our way of life if you don't want to get defected and spend big $$$ to get your car back off it.

In saying that the risk is entirely up to you I have seen some pretty insane rigs getting around but i also know the pain of a getting a car off defect.

:thanks:

Jap cars are expensive if you buy one in OZ. but if you get one imported through IronChef I will be reasonably priced. If you've got the coin you may as well start the ball rolling sooner rather than later. As it can take a little while to get one over here from Japan and you'll want something to drive on the weekends.

Ok,

thanks for that I've dropped Ironchef a line as well about bringing the M3 over if it doesn't sell here, I'm sure it would fetch a better price on Oz if I decide to sell her incase she doesnt sell here

    • Yes sir, that was me. Fake ARP's are also a thing over here in Canada and we only order from reputable dealers. It's sad that even simple things like bolts and hoses are now also being copied... anything to make a dollar.  Story time. Like all cheap crap from China, it's even an issue with firearms. Roughly 15 years ago, I purchased a new cheap Norinco 12g shotgun. First time out in the bush with it, while firing, bolt assembly didn't lock and it fired out of battery. The receiver also being cheap steel, basically exploded in my face. I was lucky to be wearing eye protection. Long story short, don't buy Chinese junk. Also Norinco being state run and their only military arms producer, if ever they do try and take over a country, don't worry about it lol. 
    • Installed  Nismo coppermix twin competition spec last year in my bnr32 with pull trans with Oem slave cylinder. The point at where the clutch disengages/enages is right at the top of the clutch pedal, meaning I barely have to push the pedal down for the clutch to be disengaged.  You guys that have the same combo are you experiencing this high pedal bite point??   Secondly I’d like to have the disengagement point lower meaning I have to push the pedal more(further not effort)for it to be disengaged.  I’m thinking to use a Nismo big operating cylinder(bigger bore at 13/16 vs Oem 3/4) which will require more pedal stroke to get the equivalent movement at the clutch fork. But I see Nismo web site says not to mix these 2 as the Nismo big operating cylinder doesn’t have enough stroke to disengage??? Any folks run both the coppermix twin pull with Nismo cylinder??    Thanks in advance for the replies but prefer only guys with pull clutches to respond. thanks     
    • Any chance u could let us know where your based ?
