From Paul's email:

Hi to all

We have finally had our R34 inspection and all went well. In fact the

inspector said that it is the best inspection he had done (ie the

least problems with evidence & vehicle) in 2 years since the RAWS

system started and we should give ourselves a pat on the back. This

means that within 2 to 4 weeks we will be able to import and comply

R34 2 door & 4 door, turbo and non turbos and GT-R's. Please reply to

this email if you are interested in importing an R34 yourself and I

can send some coming up at auction or with our suppliers in Japan.

Regards

Paul Hewitt

I, and many others on SAU have used Paul for 32s and 33s.

His site is http://www.perthcars.com

He's a great guy and I recommend him for anyone searching for a Skyline.

yeah, Paul was a big help when I was looking. I was after a 95 gts-t, and he had a nice stock black one there, and because it was a yard was asking 21k before 2005. When the year changed, he dropped the price by 1k but I had already offered what I felt was a fair price for it ($18k) & he couldn't sell it for that, but he had no problems with me having a test drive, was very helpful.

But now I am getting an even better one imported for just under 17k, and it looks awesome. That has an a/m exhaust, adj. suspension, kickass rims & a couple of other little mods that will save me $$$$ too. Seen it on Monday, and will have it within 2 weeks. :wassup: And I found out the a/m steering wheel is worth $400 too, insane.

Yeah good bloke!! Got my R33 4dr from Paul, felt real comfortable with the deal compared to other places! Did a deal with an exhaust and rims, highly recommended!!

(this post took me 10min to type as I've had quite a few shots and am felling real light headed!!)

Dryncing mayks u mipsel wirds so t taks longer to tipe.

Yeah, he was very helpful & if anyone is thinking of going through him it is recommended!!!!! If I am not mistaken the exhaust was cat-back & the rims 17"?????? I think it was both for 2k extra (should less if you haggle with him).

Yeah is a pretty good exhaust and awesome looking rims (I think anyway), Nah I got it for half that price! Howd did you know what I got? BTW what's with the Everton shield?? Just jokes :rofl:

I was interested in buying from there a while ago, and he said that if I wanted an exhaust & rims then we could sort out a deal. I think they would take the standard ones back to drop the price too. Didn't know what price though, just guessed but if it's around a grand then it sounds good to me.

Don't knock The Everton, we have Timmy the Blue Kangaroo. :wassup:

I got my R32 complied by them, top work, so fast too...

ossie_21 : think I was there that day you test drove the black R33. Did you have some nice car you came in? Like a bombed Prelude or something...

You held me up cause Paul was busy with you :( he he

Yeah, I took the black 33 for a spin. Earlier I had driven the white one he was selling at the same time, but it wasn't as responsive as the black one, which I was interested in. The car that I will have in a couple of weeks (burgundy 33) is even better with that, I don't think it understands that turbo's have lag. :headbang:

And it wasn't me with the Prelude though.

    • Well.... it's not just "de-oxygenating". If you do that you just have, most likely, ethane. So you still need to do a synthesis step to combine a number of ethanes/ethanols to make circa-8-chain hydrocarbons. And of course you don't want straight chain HCs, because n-octane actually has a negative octane rating (ie, it's worse even than the n-heptane which sets the zero on the octane scale!), so you have to do some tricky catalytic chemistry to synthesise branched HCs. That's all doable - but it doesn't come for free. And.... it starts with ethanol, which is an agricultural product, and there will almost certainly never be enough of that as a base stock to replace the liquid fuels that are in use. You really wouldn't want to be planning to be using any more ethanol for fuels than is currently already used (in E10, E85s, etc). And ideally you'd be looking to reduce such usage, as it is largely wasteful, particularly in the stupid-ole'US-of-A where the corn lobby has organised it so that it's actually primary production corn that is used to make a lot of the ethanol, not by-products and waste, like it is (mostly) elsewhere. So, what I said about needing free-ish energy probably still applies. True synth fuels would be made from H2 and CO2, in a near reversal of the combustion process. In fact, given that the H2 would be split from water first, it actually is a complete reversal of the combustion process. But...energy intensive. The human race burns something like 1 cubic MILE of crude oil, after it has been made into various fuels. Every year. That's a simply stupendous amount of energy. Just assume that the density is 900 kg/m3, and that the calorific value is 45 MJ/kg, then that is 165.9 x10^12 MJ of energy. Or more than 10^19 Joules. You get a maximum of 1 kJ/s per square meter solar radiation falling on the planet's surface, and so if you halve that for daylight, and halve it again for average weather (highly optimistic) and then take ~25% for the very best efficiency of solar panels, then you need about 85.7 billion square metres of solar panels to generate enough electricity to replace that liquid fuel energy consumption. Each panel is about 1m2. That's a rather large number of panels. We also burn about a cubic mile of coal. We also use hydroelectric power. We also use nuclear. We also use a number of other sources, both "renewable" and not. You can kind of ignore the renewable ones (except for hydro, because it will all end up getting subsumed into pumped hydro for storing other renewables, and so it won't be the standalone renewable that it originally was), so we end up needing a multiple of the ground area number that I just arrived at.
    • Corvette thread then? Don't say I didn't predict the future again. "I love the little MX5, I do, but I just want something a little easier to get in/out of, a little more cushy and some power would be nice - I miss the V8 Rumble... I found this clean red C5 for sale recently and..." I'll do you a great deal on the next step, which is one of those but you can fit people in it, too.
    • What about renewable diesel and/or gasoline? I see some projects spinning up like de-oxygenating ethanol to make drop-in compatible bio-gasoline especially in CA. I still think the future is EVs and we should've all gone full throttle on nuclear power after the 1973 oil crisis like France. Despite 15 years of work in CA to reduce the CO2 intensity of generation with renewables our electric grid is still far worse than even "low carbon" nuclear power. ICE is pretty cool when you aren't depending on the stupid thing to be practical and reliable and cheap as possible to get you to work every day. It's kind of like mechanical watches or vacuum tube amps.
    • I just rolled over "my" first 10k km in the MX5 Every time I go anywhere it always ends up in a adventure to look at houses and find some random country roads I've been on leave since early November but unfortunately need to go back to work on 19 January Luckily though I still have a fair chunk of leave left to burn until.... Not that I'm counting 馃榿
