I Just wanted to get other peoples view on this

I'm currently looking to buy a R33 GTST -1997 - Manual - 12 months rego Mspec

full stock , mint condition for $24,000.00 is this a fair price?

Will be the 1st driver in australia just imported.

Is there any point in doing a rev check when its only been in australia for 1 week.

will be the 1st australian driver?

If the car has only just been imported, it has obviously never been registered in Australia before so it will not have had any finance on it.

REV's checks for encumberance on a vehicle, ie money owing, so this wont be nessesary on a freshly imported car

I bught mine the same way you did.

Someone imported it and i bought, so second owner in Aus but 1st registered on road owner.

The don't bother with REVS comments.....just do it man!

I did even though it was just in. It doesn't hurt and takes you a whole 5 mins of your life!

...and its free.

get the vin nuimber checked... nissan at hornsby will look it up for you... this will show if it is the car that left the factory with the vin that is on it now, colour etc..

also get someone who knows these cars to check it out for you, lots of things can be wrong with them!

iissavi: The guy you need to speak to whos clued up on imports at Hornsby nissan is away.

Also an NRMA inspection is a waste of your money, they will happily tell you that your wiper blades are ok and your tyres are fine but they arent trained in performance import vehicles so you are best to either arrange to get the car inspected at a performance shop or get someone you trust and who really knows his stuff to go over the car with a fine tooth comb. Either way make sure you do a compression test.

Where is the place you are buying the car from?

iissavi: Tell the dealer/seller that a condition of your purchase is that they allow the car to be taken to a reputable import performance workshop for a thorough checkover prior to laying down any funds.

I sold my GTS-T a few years ago and Jim at CRD in Silverwater inspected my car for the new buyer and I was incredibly impressed with the level of detail they went to.

They checked the engine, body, every switch inside the car, radio, road test, braking, suspension etc etc and dynoed the car to ensure everything was in good working order.

Expect to pay around $200 for a full inspection, and believe me, its money well spent.

I normally speak to John in parts at Nissan

You may be able to try the parts division at Crows Nest Nissan as well

      Let's hope that's not a copy pump either. There were so many copies of them back in the day.

      Damn it, I was at work last night, and stayed in a room there during the storm with the car outside, but undercover, I just went downstairs and well....there was a large steel locker that has come from some place last night, it wasn't anywhere I could see yesterday, and yeap, it landed on the fraking car....of course it did..... LOL So, I'll need to take it back for paint and panel, luckily it was only the boot that took the hit, so it could have been worse Serves me right for staying at work and getting on the cans with some of the boys

      Yeah, really happy with how it all turned out As for aftermarket lip, nah, I'm not really a fan for practically reasons on a street car that gets driven everywhere  I did have the full lower kit on my 2015 STI, but found the front lip scrapped alot, even at stock 4x4ish ride height As the NC sits now, with the lowest point of the car at 110mm, so just legal, some steep driveways and steep speed humps will still "just" scrap those little plastic OEM air dam thingies on the undertray just before the front wheels

      Hypergear Turbochargers and High flow Services Development thread

      Here's one I help build and tuned a decade ago, Garrett  GTX3071R Gen 1, T3 twin scroll 0.83 rear housing. Went from larger 272 cams down to smaller Tomei Poncams to help with the low end. S13 non VCT motor. Car was purpose built for the track, hence low down was the focus. Note the actual dyno chart shows lower boost, however the EBC and boost gauge showed 1.9Bar (Ignore the torque, I was young and didn't know how to set derived torque)

      I’m doing some side developments on SR20det S13 engines, its one my hobby cars used it to compare flow capacity of some smaller size wheels. SR20det is one of another JDM legendary engines I'm sure there are plenty of SR enthusiasts on this forum, I will share results some common turbo configurations here. a quick run down of what the car is: Wide body 180sx Type X with black top engine (blue). It has: Stock bottom end Haltech 1500 ECU 5-0 motorsports trigger kit Kelford SR20DET Beehive Spring with Titanium Retainers Kelford Cams SR20DET S13 188-B 268/272 Cams G25-660 Turbocharger in T2 .64 rear housing internally gated ARP Head studs MLS head gasket 1000CC ID injectors Walbro 450L Fuel pump Front mount cooler kit JJR’s 3 inches turbo back exhaust (its too short for the 180sx it had to be extended) Pump 98 fuel Hub Dyno tune So far made 270rwkws at 22psi full boost by 4500RPM. Engine is very knock limited hence a pretty bad looking top end. From previous experiences it seems like SR20dets are happier with bigger size turbine, some thing like a GT30 would make way better top end, but on same time response is lost. It won't be a problem with S15 VCT engines. I'll be testing alternative turbine housing, turbine wheel and possibly dump pipe options for extra flow to resolve the problem and of course E85 would resolve all the issues.
