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!!!

Rx7 parts - racing beat the toy store for rotor heads

Steve millen help me on my rx 7 once before he was a big player, weird his son rhys was a small child back then Lol

or mazdatrix in signal hill ? Not sure if there around still

Oh Rx7 are shocking expensive here all models

compares to anywhere else if you go that route

i looked at a FD a few years ago and the price was in R34 GTR money range in the states 13 grand would buy one

Anyway post ho away

Who do we send the parts list too lol excess baggage in container form ( im sure a few mini parts wouldnt go astray either lol)

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

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
