alrighty - FAST ME UP BABBBYYYY!!! awww.. my original import approval.. its got a commonwealth coat of arms and everything ECR33-028217

yeah.. that must be the fun part telling somebody there's was never a turbo or something.. hmmm.. then again u never know - that could be mine .. lol.. i'm working up the curiosity to go outside now

u and your FAST i should go outside and get my VIN but its very cold out there and dark and stuff

hey james.. not much 2x cars - still no life meh, not that i really care..

wtf? which goldcoast are you on?? or you purposely find the most expensive petrol station on the goldcoast?? the highest i've seen premium here has been about 107c/L and i drive about 150km a day.. so i kind of keep tabs

I may have a tax issue .. and need to know whether i should buy something expensive in the next week to offset something

is anybody an accountant on here??

yeah.. i was in melbourne last week - it was around $1.01 just for regular unleaded. Can't believe, on average melbourne prices seem to be about 10c/L more expensive across the board! Was about the same when i left melbourne about 6 months ago too Bracks is soo cool.

tracking numbers work.. when my camgear came.. i thought they'd given me a bogus tracking number but in the end they just didn't ship it for weeks.. in the end it did work, and 3 days later it was at my door.

Mine *should* have all the go-fast bits needed for a low 13sec.. and I just got a HKS camgear put in and nice tune-up and its feeling quicker than ever. I find that after the camgear it spins up a fair bit quicker to redline so was worthwhile. So will see what i can do in a week or two Poor tyres will be thing holding me back i think. Yours is a top effort though.. no gas, no slicks!

yeah.. well mine was $1400 for what i had done, and that was probably only 1/2 a days work to one of the guys there ..

how does that work? does it blow back into the engine on the MR2's ??? On the skylines generally they just blow out the ass end, although its most of the time the exhaust wheel on the skylines that givesway more than anything -- they are the ceramic bit.

awesome should be great to get it back. Hopefully its all A-1 ! Nothing worse than getting it back and niggling problems (as i found out).

chris was around earlier..

Beau: yeah.. rego is so expensive here! hence why i havent changed my r33 over.. and why i only got 6 months on the r31.. they're both due same month - luckily the r33 *should* be sold by then.

post-exam flake out?

welcome to the club Hence why i bought my car with the basics already covered, saved me $1000's in the end. How is your car going james? is it going to be ready soon?

gtst89 - sorry lol, didn't mean to diss your car, i'm sure its a great car I'm just not expecting much -- but definitely will be trying for one in as good a condition to start with if I do go ahead with this. Thanks for the headsup from a proper owner though! so sounds like fairly minor things in that case. Thanks mindflux. Its going to be a couple of months off (well depends when i sell the 33), but a pointer in the direction of a good importer would be useful.

:wassup: Ok.. I have a little project in mind soonish. Before you pay me out too much with "1989 GTS-T are going to be crap don't bother". Don't worry, I kind of know that.. but I really just want a good shell with the basics and @ ~7k or so, bit hard to go past. I might drive it for a bit while certain things get built so guess it would be nice if it still ran. I'm basically binning the engine and gearbox, so condition of the gearbox, engine, turbo, etc isn't too much of a concern to me. I've seen a few granny-driven auto R32 on the auction lists, and who really does want an auto - so they go cheap. I've done a search, and not much has turned up really other than "there are some differences" but not much in the way of actual details, which isn't really the most *useful* to me.. My main questions: * In general, are there any differences on the turbo autos (other than the obvious!). I assume they run a slightly different diff ratios, but anything else? * Do all the turbos come with LSD in the 1989 turbo models? * What interior differences are there? Somebody said cheaper/dodgy trims & seats than the later ones but they can go in the bin. The blue speedo. What else? i believe climate control is analogue rather than digital? But i'm sure i've seen 1989's with the digital climate control so can somebody please clarify. Can you swap the units over, or is it a drama? * What other minor or major differences are there that I might need to know? Does anybody actually own a 1989 GTS-T (or maybe 1990 also) and have seen other newer 1991 or newer GTS-T and can tell me what the real differences are that they know of?? or maybe somebody can do me a huge favour and key some stuff into the FAST software (which i haven't downloaded yet) cheers.. any info would help

errr.. maybe... :Oops: lol - i thought it was funny too

... i have an easily bored mind.

nope.. i knew it would taper off eventually.. but i'll be here till the end.. :evil:

hmmm..the nerd in me is telling me this would be just so oh cool combined with that RS232 ECU tool impakt is selling.. http://300zx-twinturbo.com/conzult/downloads.htm

ahh 1 years old.. so he can get all hopped up on red cordial and run around the house with a potty on his head! ahhh, remember the days well ... it seems like just yesterday i was one year old myself. running around eating dirt, crapping my pants, and making funny noises

..so when is my umart price rise chris?
