The reason I'm so interested in the GXi is because I'm thinking about getting one as my first car, possibly to swap an SR20 in. And I can't get a GTS-T because my parents won't let me get a fast car (Craig, the ER34 I was talking to you about earlier was for my dad, who is looking to import one ;) ).

i thought you were building a game with it

The reason we want info about this is because we want to include a base model car as part of a game mod.

same with the rs4, er43 hr34... all the others you asked about.

its ok man im just busting your balls.

in all seriousness while your on your ps just drive a hatch back or camry or whatever, no need to pay big money for a shit car that looks like the fast cars.

just save your money for a good car when your licenced to buy one

EVERYONE will say they wished they did that.

We are building a game mod with the FR32.. we just can't give you much info about it because it's still very early in development :V

Thanks for your advice, I truly appreciate it ;) I'll drive my dad's Avalon on my P's then ;) But, in the future, if a FR32 comes for sale for a cheap price, should I think about buying it and swapping an SR20 in?

As I believe no importer will ever import the FR32, ask yourself, is it worth...

1. Spend money purchasing the FR32 from Japan

2. Spend the money shipping it to Australia

3. Spend the money putting it through compliance

4. Spend the money registering

5. Spend the money buying the SR20 / gearbox / diff / brakes

6. Spend the money fitting the SR20 / gearbox / diff / brakes

7. Spend the money engineering your now modified FR32

8. Spend the money insuring your now modified FR32

If you answered yes to all these questions and the gumbyment changes the rules to allow you to import a FR32, then draw up a plan on how to make it happen and then make it happen.

Personally, to me it makes much more sense to buy a R32 rolling shell that's already here in Australia and fit the engine / gearbox / whatever else it takes to have a working car if I really wanted a SR20 powered R32

      Has anyone put in brand new full carpet? (not floor mats)

      By Yeetus · Posted

      Only needed to pull out the seats, center console and gear shifter surround, took a weekend and a fair few beers. You get to look forward to finding all sorts of weird shit under the seats and carpet, I pulled out a Chinese dudes passport from 2003, 220 yen and a condom wrapper 😆

      Well, turns out not a lot happened from back then to now, between life again, and working on 3 separate other cars (only one of which was mine, and will now be departing the household soon).   So I decided with the whole "don't go outside, it's a cyclone!" Turning in to being not a whole lot, I ventured down to the garage, found a couple of water leaks in the shed (the main one I've already fixed), and then ended up "stuck" as it started pouring rain, and I didn't want to walk back inside in the pouring rain. This meant I ended up taking a look at the Skyline, and trying to work out what past Matt had been upto. I retraced a few things out from scratch, added the rest of the power feeds in that I needed for the indicators, and headlights. Double checked I'd wired a few things up correctly (and worked out how I wired a few things to begin with), updated my sparse notes. Added one of the ground points. Oh, and got really really dusty, as the car is quite dirty. Wrote up quickly what should be left for me to do with the wiring too. Adding the below photos more for my records than anything else. I need to make myself a proper book for the car that details everything, and how I've done it, but for now, this is my records... The third image is my most important one for me, and I need to draw it out into a proper schematic eventually. The last photo is my re-written list, I'd have put it on the white board, except I had to take the white board down to fix one of the water leaks.
