Cheers,

Ali

The bracket and the hook are not actually connected (imo). The hook is for towing the car from a racetrack and the bracket is for mounting the licence plate off to the side.

The Apexi kit looks like an RSM, the PFC controller is in front of the clock and the Carrozzeria amp is the same as Pioneer. It looks kinda funny having a roll-cage and an amp in the car - identity crisis! :P

Also looks like an aftermarket radiator.

And I agree with Mick, that colour looks brilliant!

Drift warrior or racer, but hopefully mods have been done properly. I'd say ABS, etc have been removed to reduce weight. Engine runs at least (it's running in the last 2 photos). Looks to have a radiator cap on the power steering reservior (???). No fan shroud, which from memory is an unroadworthy item in Vic (?? - well it used to be, but might have changed). No rear seat so you'll have to register it as a 2-seater if you want to keep the cage. Wonder what that box is in front of the battery.....oil coooler.

Anyway, good luck with it, looks clean :P

Std intercooler, std brake calipers. Looks to have a Power Fc Boost Controller, or could possibly have an AVC-R tucked away somewhere, but most likely a Pfc Bosot COntroller Kit.

Has Splitfire coils, adjustable brake bias, aftermarket radiator...llooks liek it will be something to enjoy at the track:)

Interesting....mines definately different - it's black with wires for the fluid level sensor (I thought they all had that.....every stock Jap spec one I've seen has).

hmm now that you mention it... that sounds familiar... wires coming out of it... haha I'm not sure now! :P

the box in front of the battery is the catch tank, not an oil cooler.

like the boy said it has:

splitfires

hard pipe kit

oil catch tank

no abs

a/m radiator

PowerFC + boost control kit

cage

lot's of gauges and an Apexi RSM

it has a cusco master cylinder stopper

also Troy, I'm pretty sure that what you think is a brake bias adjuster is just one of the old Tomei manual boost control valves. dunno why it's still there, they probably just left it there when they installed the apexi gear.

the metal thing on the front bumper is actually two things. 1 is a number plate mount the other is an aftermarket tow hook (has one on the back too).

It's a boy racers car. no dobut. providing it has been well maintained (which it may not have been) it could be quite a nice car.

Could quite be a genuine Nismo edition. May just be a copy but there isn't ABS and there soesn't appear to be anything aitcon related in the engine. The fact it has just the single lip spoiler can always be imitated and rear wing removed though.

i doubt its a NISMO one cos it still has the rear windscreen wiper (altho wiper part looks to be removed) and still has the a/c lines.

would seem funny to remove the ABS to save weight when you install a dirty big amp! haha dont some come without ABS?

and i am pretty sure they are standard afms.

Thanks for the feedback guys!! I def. like the colour...makes my Gun Metal Grey one like rather bland....

Well i'm definantly getting it, as I recently got an import approval for 89 Nissan Skyline and 90 Mitsubishi GTO...........so can still import under the old rule, import approval is granted on these conditions:

Section 20(1)(B) of the Motor Vehcile Standards Act, on the basis that the vehicle:

-was manufactured before 1 January 1989; or

-was manufactured before 1 January 1991; and

-that you made a financial commitment and purchased the vehicle prior to 7 February 2005;

-and the application to import was made before 1 January 2006: and

- that the vehicle was 15 or more years old at the time of the application to import was made......

Yay!!! :P

also Troy, I'm pretty sure that what you think is a brake bias adjuster is just one of the old Tomei manual boost control valves. dunno why it's still there, they probably just left it there when they installed the apexi gear.

.

LOL..could be, i thought it read Tilton, could be Tomei:) Have a look at he side engine bay pic and look at the master cylinder. See where the compression fitting normally goes into the cast base, if you look above it...

    • I know this one’s the BB one. My tuner did make mention about the actuator. I am curious about the VCT as well
    • Might also needs a stronger actuator with the right preloading. With older 2019 built bush G3 units, BB upgrade or 21U housing down size makes a pretty decent gain in response as well. 
    • Hey lads  so im finally putting together my rb30 forged bottom end and ran into an issue. I measured my main bearing clearance with arp main studs torqued to 60 ft-lbs using ACL H series STD size bearings and standard, un-ground crank shaft journals and got an oil clearance reading of about 1.3 thou measuring straight up and down and about 2.8 thou measuring at a 45 degree angle (just above and below the parting line). My machine shop said they measured the main tunnel and it was all within spec (they didnt say the actual measurement) and to go with a standard size bearing, which i have done and the clearance is too tight, I'm guessing because of the extra clamping force from the arp studs distorting the main tunnel. I was wanting to run about 2.5 thou main bearing clearance.  My questions are: 1. could i just use the HX extra 1 thou clearance ACL bearings? that would fix my straight up and down clearance making it about 2.3 thou, but then would the side to side clearance be too big at around 3.8 thou? 2. what actually is the recommended main bearing clearance for measuring near the parting line / side to side. i know its supposed to be bigger as the bearing has some eccentricity built into it but how much more clearance should there be compared to the straight up and down measurement? at the moment there is about 1.5thou difference, is that acceptable or should it be less? 3. If i took the engine block + girdle back to the machine shop and got them to line bore the main tunnel (like i told them to do the first time, but they said it didnt need it) what bearing size would i buy? the STD size bearing shells already slide in fairly easily with no real resistance, some even falling out if i tip the girdle up-side-down. If im taking material out of the main tunnel would i need a bearing with extra material on the back side to make up for it? this is probably confusing af to read so if something doesn't make sense let me know and ill try explaining in a different way. My machine shop doesn't come back from christmas break until mid January, hence why i'm asking these questions here. TIA for any help or info 
    • I bought the model back in Japan in Feb. I realised I could never build it, looked around for people who could build it, turns out there's some very skilled people out there that will make copies of 1:1 cars or near enough. I'm not really a photo guy... but people were dragging me in a group chat for the choice of bumper as someone else saw the car before it was finished as they are also a customer of that shop. I took the photo in the above post because I was pretty confident that the lip would work wonders for it. Here's some more in-progress and almost-done pics. It gives a good enough idea as to what the rear looks like!   I have also booked in a track day at the end of January. Lets all hope that is nothing but pure fun and games. If it's not pure fun and games, well, I've already got half an engine spare in the cupboard 
    • Well, do ya, punk? Seriously though, let's fu<king go! The colour and kit looks amazing on the car. Do you have any shots from the rear? I don't quite follow how the model came around. You bought the white kit and he modified it to match your car? Looks nuts either way!
