if you run a search theres a few
but fastways is awsome if you live in city and bus freight i think
small stuff id stick with aussie post

has it had the 100,000kms major service done/timing belt changed etc?
-
a standard diff is useless for drifting (i beleive it only spins 1 wheel and its no where near as ez to control as a mechanical)
a 1.5 or 2 way lsd will keep u going hard all day long
brands like kaaz, cusco, nismo are all good
expect to pay around 1.5k for one (give or take a hundred or two depending on brand/shop)
or if your on a budget.... weld your diff together
:D:D -
who did the rebuild? how long ago?
any dyno graphs and reciepts for work done?
Cheers

who did the engine rebuild and how long ago?
-
sounds about right
-
i dont think any workshop/person would recommend a cat replacement for street use as its a 20k fine for not having one i think? (something ridicuous neway)
and the person doing it also cops a hefty fine in the thousands range
-
how much poer is she layin down lol
-
same for my r32 too

I bought my last 2 cars from interestate (i used to be from another state)
just get an RAC equivilant company to inspect the car and email you the report or if u want an extensive report like C-reds with compression test etc
then you'd have to call up a few well respected workshops to carry out an examation
you have to take it over pits to rego it in WA but if its stock its no dramas just $56.50 pit fee + rego (approx $500 for a year) and stamp duty (2.5% of cars value i believe?)
i used autotrans to transport my cars as they have insurance that covers the car while being transported so you dont have to buy insurance until it lands (i heard TNT is quite well too)
ask all the usual questions like reason for sale, when was the car imported, service history, any accident history, current faults mechanical/cosmetic etc etc
ps. dont fly over and check it yourself coz if its a lemon its outta your own pocket (did it once and never again)

jshop sells R33 fmic + piping for $450 and $220 to install
where did u get the price of $250 from
-
Well for a S2 R33 u can import them landed, complied, starting at approx 16k?
for the same price u can get a local one without the wait and u can rac inspect it
id say private sellers are killing importers too
-
took couple of months to sell my R33
annoying thing was i paid over $100 for the auto trader 1 week prior to the sale then i get 3 buyers wanted to look after ive sold it
im guessing its all random luck and imports are getting alot cheaper as people are importing ship loads of them
-
whats the difference between a hi-flow and normal?
i know the hi flow performs better...... but what do u do 2 make it hi flow?
-
Lets say every 5 hours u spend on preping the car is 1 hr to painting
and yes theres a shit load of preping, not exactly hard but does need alot of patience and time
just stuff like, pullin dents out (big ones else u can just bog it lol), bog, sanding, primer
-
i really doubt it makes that much of a difference
theres heaps of 300hp cars using these china kits without a problem these days, even most workshops would sell these as most people aim "bang for buck"
and i dont think anyones really tested intercooler vs intercooler to really find out the diffence
save the money and spend on othe areas
-
ahhh ic
good thing i didnt buy them just yet
-
there prices on just jap are $2k+ for the front 2
so if i want it on all 4 corners i need 2 sets of them?
-
Does R32 have hicas?
-
cant lose with a r32 and a big donk
haha
-
ahh i c thats sweet then, coz autoworx said they can fix that problem for 25$ and 5mins
not sure wot the actual problem was though lol
-
he bought my 33 lol, as for how is coz i think he saw the ad on the forums
real names steve

hey dude,
did you contemplate about on a 25, 26 25/30 in the r32
or did u just go straight for the 26?
is it cheaper to forge a 25 then using a standard 26? (talkin drift sense here to get input for my r32)
you paid 5k for a 26 but would a 25 front cut with gearbox is better?
im thinking of a few combinations
where did u get yours done at? (your brother told me but i forgot now lol)
-
ya that someone was meeeeeeeeeeeeee
hope he likes it !
:D:D
Rb26 Rebuild In Perth
in Western Australia
Posted
every workshop would love a 40k engine job
however there are some people who arent after 700+hp
btw top racing wanted 13k for a rb25 rebuild (basic rebuild)
cp pistons
eagle rods
n1 oil pump
gasket kit
acl bearings
parts were around 5.5k and he said machine work was around 2.5k
that leaves labour to assemble engine/put in car at 5k?
