Edwards Lees have a Supra coming in that I have the auction sheets for. The weird thing is, they have listed the car as 0kms on their site, in carsales and on gumtree. I wonder why.. ?

Ill reveal the Information I have when they reveal the Kms on the car.

Perhaps they're waiting for ^^ your post to see if the coast is clear?

How would "you" feel if you were an emigrant

> shipped out from Japan

> your medical records were lost

> washed and dried instead of being examined

> arthritic rust covered up with cream

> given a face lift instead of a liver detox

> sold off as a virgin slave who's never done a marathon

Wasn't referring to you Chris :)

Strongly recommend the black 1999 "vspec 2" currently at Edward Lees, complete with epic front end hit and home made vspec 2 sticker.

Great buy.

Jeebuz these guys are pushing it too far..

There will be an 18 y/o that will buy that. Same as my customer bought a manual GTV ( think about that for a second) as they were all auto.

Lol, don't buy an RX7 from Edward Lees either....

http://www.edwardlees.com.au/stock/1999-mazda-rx7-type-rb-3041.htm

"Mint Mint Mint and totally original and stock standard RX-7 . Rare, unmolested, unmodified – Travelled just 56,000 kms this car is like new inside and out."

Rare, unmolested, unmodified.......apart from the aftermarket exhaust, gear knob, turbo timer, strut tower brace, pedals, stereo system.....what a dick head. Judging by the wear on the steering wheel and seats I would say that this car has well over 100,000km on it.

Wow

I've been referred to as a tarted up import and a lemon, all in the one topic.

Last time I bring in an immaculate GTR with 256,000kms and sell it with 33,000.

Kidding!

if you are not in a hurry. i can help you import one. dreamcarcity.com.au

Congrats on your newly updated website! Seems this new one allows you full control over the VIN/chassis number field. Fortunately I have some screenshots of the old one - not GTR's but some interesting V series on there:

1st post - enjoy your free advertising and welcome to SAU.

(EDIT: I suppose these will all turn out to be consignment cars... :rolleyes: )

Name change to nightmare car city perhaps?

I am so over the constant clipping of kms. It has a negative impact on everyone involved, from dealers to buyers. If I was buying again I think I would only go with a car that has had one trusted australian owner with history and NOT bought from dodgy dealer or import again myself.

This Supra is for sale somewhere. Do your research, find out where and then know not to buy your GTR's from there. Or any other car for that matter.

:)

That is shocking. Plus it looks like its got some serious accident damage history with the entire panels from one side and the boot replaced. That shouldnt have been complianced!

It needs to be compulsory for imports to be sold with their de-registration papers. If they cant supply dereg certificate, go somewhere else!

    • GTSBoy on your suggestion on another thread I had a look at those injectors and ended up getting them because of the quality.  Got the expensive ones.  
    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
