Hey all,

Just need some options / ideas.

Im going to sell the GTR in the not to distant future, as its only my daily and id like something a bit more modern, new and able to fit 4/5 fairly comfy.

Looking for something modern

$22, 000 or less ish

Nothing older then around 2000
Prefer big enough for 4 people
Manual preferably
Sporty looking but very comfortable as a daily
Something not totally gutless

Something I can make look decent, rims lowered exhaust etc
Leaning towards a nissan V35.......

but any other ideas??

Cheers

Adam

How about something like this? It doesn't meet all your criteria but it certainly matches most of them http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Mercedes-Benz-C32-2003/SSE-AD-2136168/?Cr=99&sdmvc=1

Bro-in-law owns a TRD Aurion. Nice car, plenty of grunt, lots of room for four adults, decent looking without being over the top and nice interior. Interior plastics are typical Toyota but they did a reasonble job of adding some flair with colour.

An Evo :yes:

Haha thanks mate, already had an evo :P

Just not sure about auto only and front wheel drive, but definatly on my list to atleast have a look at

Theres a 1JZ powered Lexus IS on JDMST.. Maybe worth a look if your after a faster version...

any link mate i cant see it??

can't go past a stagea, can go camping, heaps of room and power etc

Not really my thing, never been a huge fan

Interesting

Ive narrowed it down, so far. well at least want to have a look at the following

-V35

- IS200

- 350z

- GS300

- TRD aurion

Mums and Dad both drive Gs300's my sister got an is200 if I had to pick between them is say the GS purely because it is a better ride then the is but a trd aurion are quite good to my cousin has one there not as quick as a standard r34gtt but for what they are there really good

Not really my thing, never been a huge fan

The 350z = a modern Stagea, what is it you are against exactly? Wagons?

Aurion = front wheel drive = Ghey. Adding a supercharger doesn't change anything... Just my opinion.

    • No. The ECU's hose is for a connetcion between the plenum (assuming single throttle body, not ITBs) and the ECU's internal MAP sensor. This is the primary load measurement of the ECU - so you need to get this one right. This has NOTHING to do with the boost contol. The wastegate also needs to see a boost signal - but it is actually far better for it NOT TO COME FROM THE PLENUM (again, assuming single TB, and not ITBs). This should come from the turbo's compressor housing (assuming there is a nipple on there, which there might well not be), or on the boost pipe somewhere between the turbo and the TB. On the pipe from the turbo to the intercooler is usually most convenient. The boost controller is then located between that boost source and the wastegate, ACCORDING TO THE CORRECT PLUMBING DRAWING FOR THAT BOOST CONTROLLER. There is no general diagram or instruction that will be correct for every case. Then the other ports on the plenum are for purposes such as Duncan described. If the boost controller has an internal MAP sensor, for a boost display, etc, then it will want to be hooked up there, alongside the ECU and the FPR.
    • Ok gotcha, so one post to fpr  another to bov  and I have the mishimoto boost controller and a link g4+ so I’d just have the tuner set it up properly. For the last two from plenum post throttle to  ecu/ boost controller, I know that I have a hose coming from the ecu that I was confused about so I assume that’s what connect to the boost controller from the ecu? And then the last is just from plenum to boost controller then to wastegate?
    • From there, it was just a quick electrical check, prime the oil and start her up Which, is not what happened. 1. Bloody seppo Aeropro battery holder. Not only was it too tall for the battery (which I'll forgive them for, I have another battery the same nominal size that is taller than Neil's one, but the bracket is a fixed height so the battery was spaced up) But the thing that really shits me is the hardware to hold it on requires a 7/32 Hex key. WTF. No-one will ever be able to remove or install the damn thing without a hex key they don't own 2. Kill switch no longer worked once the console was installed. Neil mentioned above he had to adjust the length but it no longer cleared the console once installed. Sorted. 3. Suspiciously, the brake light holders were hanging in the boot with no globes. Sure enough the stopper on the brake pedal was missing so they are always on unless the kill switch is activated. Will pick one up tomorrow (turns out 32 and 33 don't use the same stopper) 4. All that sorted, I turned on the kill switch, turned the key to ACC. Nothing. Turned it to IGN. Nothing. Checked some fuses and found the main IGN in the boot was missing which improved things once it was replaced. Now ECU and dash lights turn on with IGN but still no fuel pump. 5. Turned it to Start....ECU on, no fuel pump, no starter. Plus the voltage dropped straight to 9v.  I suspect the starter is f**ked but am going to have to work through it all and see what is happening, really looks like more than one issue. Does anyone have the R33 fuse box key with the circuit it sources from (eg BAT, ACC, IGN, SRT etc) and supplies? I can find a translated list showing Amps and circuit without supply circuit, and I can find supply circuit without Amps and target circuit.
    • 3rd time lucky, the AAC is now all plumbed up after getting some final fittings All set up under the plenum of maximum access
