I'll poke him up the arse with me chopsticks...hang on he might like that. I'll have to think of something else.

Hey Ed, how are you involved with SAU? Are you and the DR like on the board or what's the deal? How do I become a member? A "Skylines Australia" sticker would look sik on my Echo, across the bonnet. What ya think? LOL

Franky, repayments on the car would differ greatly due to the tax implications that a specific salary would provide. Obviously the tax benefits of someone on 20 k Vs 90 k would be quite different.

Cost would also differ greatly on the KM's being travelled in the vehicle as well as the budgets set for seriving and tyres (which would directly relate to the KM's travelled) ....

When you say average km's and services I use ?? Not 100 % sure what you mean buddy .... are you talking about the intervals to which I would budget the car for servicing ?

Lemme know ...

Kool, I picked up my door shell and front guard from Just Jap today so should be back on the road soon :P Took two trips tho, they gave me a driver side door and a passenger side guard ... didn't notice till I got home as the guard was in bubble wrap so we had to make two trips ... ffel like a bit of an idot for not noticing :lol:

    • Bump on this to not make another post, had a ‘head drain’ leak on me and have the engine out as we speak. Planning on just putting a new freeze plug back in , plug the tapped holes and just be done with that headache.    Now I still want to relieve pressure to allow oil to pass down the blocks returns easier. I’ve seen catch cans with multiple vents help folks with this issue on this forum.  I’m wanting to make my own. I have some pictures here of my setup if anyone can help how I should plumb and design the catch can I would deeply appreciate it !   rb25 Oil upgrades: 1.0mm restrictor n1 pump/billet gears extended crank collar  extended sump with trap doors/w welded fitting    
    • The Frenchy's kit is the way to go forward. A modern compressor that weighs about 1/2 as much, is at least twice as efficient, and will do a good job on R134a. And of course the kit has everything else you need to connect it up and have it work properly.
    • Hey all , I am in the process of having the AC system in my r32 GTST converted from r12 to r134a and I’m being told my compressor has gone bad and I will need a new one. I was wondering if anybody has any suggestions for what is the best route to go aside from dropping $1500 on a new oem one? I did see that Frenchy’s performance garage offers a kit to mount a Toyota compressor, has anybody actually used this kit on their car? Or is there anywhere I could purchase just a clutch? Any help is appreciated.
    • Well, your RB20 ECU loom won't have wires for the boost solenoid, that boost sensor, and possibly one or two other things. There could be differences in seemingly random things like the charcoal canister purge solenoid, because the 25DET has to handle boost in the vacuum system and the 20DE does not. I don't know - I haven't looked. It is very likely that all the most important things are same-same, being the main sensors like AFM, CAS, etc, and the injectors and ignition. Not that you'll need the AFM for the Haltech anyway. I would suggest that you would seriously want to sit down with the pinouts for both ECUs and just go through them and highlight green what is the same, orange what is different/missing, and make a plan from there. It's not going to be difficult. It will either be the same or need to be fixed.
    • yeaaa that's why I haven't done any wiring to the stock ecu harness because I have the haltech, but then that leads me to the other question of "is the pnp harness really plug and play?" or would I have to still switch some pins/wires over because the pnp is for the rb25det neo harness, and not for the rb20de neo harness. was really hoping to find something to spoon feed me since so many people have done rb20neo + t conversions, but man this is rough.
