Hypergears old car by the looks of it

This ^

Also it's funny to see the people in here who a ruining a for sale thread, when they themselves cried wolf over that 32gtr that had a front end prang and crooked gtr badge, and weird body lines.

I though stao always maintained that the only engine modification to this thing was a set of forged pistons, as many questioned the modifications done to achieve certain power levels

car runs stock box, stock gearbox, stock head, stock cams.. just has stiffer valve springs and stock cams lol.

$80k my arse.. just has forged pistons and rods, even the crank was left untouched... 1200cc of redrilled injectors too :)

My old test car :woot: . I would spend my $80G on a F430 instead, not a R33. Engine package cost about $9G including parts and labor, fully reconditioned it from head to bottom. The gear box has been fully rebuilt. It is a solid package that never broke down (apart from the injectors). Assume it is welly maintained, she's not a bad car.

i know whats happened here fellas...

when he said 80k, he actually meant 80,000 swedish kronas... KRONAS!!

1 krona = 0.15c

so

80,000k = $12,174AUD

    • I agree on doing some better than factory pistons, rods, and oil pump. For anyone using the vehicle on the road, I don't get why everyone wants big cams. The stock cam profile, with some more lift would be mint for road usage. Everyone going big cams and then wondering why it isn't as responsive in traffic, when they've shifted the torque curve upwards an additional 1000RPM. Make torque, at lower RPM. Sure it's not as cool as claiming "500KW" and revving it to 8,0000RPM, but that same torque 2,000RPM earlier... Then you don't need the extremely high end pistons and rods, and blah blah blah.
    • Personal experience. Those f**kers burn. And are actually a PITA to put out. Next time I walk down the back, I'll snap a photo of what the inside of the bonnet looks like when that thing ignites. PS, powder fire extinguishers are useless on that stuff too as it's fibrous and when it ignites, it starts to pull apart. And you end up just blowing powder through a sieve effectively.   Like the big thing is, if it's fire resistant, it's job is to stop what burning? The METAL above it? It's just to try keep heat off the bonnet paint work.
    • Oh man, sorry, $60.00000000... 😛
    • That's more or less what he meant. What it really means is that you do not have to go full crazy on the build. Don't need the best oil pump, expensive rods & pistons, big cams, etc. You can upgrade whatever you want instead of using stock level items, but you don't have to. Having said that - any time an RB is opened up, if anything is getting replaced, I think the opportunity should be taken to do all the sensible upgrades. Pistons, rods, pump, etc.
    • February update 🙂 We managed to get the very last 1/18th "Extra Scale" cars stock available from bookstores in Kyoto. These are actually the last ones and will not be restocked again! Hachette Collections Japan have not decided on a release date for these or other models in the series, so for the time being these are all there are available new.  These are showing up on Yahoo auctions at inflated prices already (especially the Celica and NSX) so get yours now at a very reasonable price before they disappear!
