  1. Clever man. For $11,000 you can't complain. The number of people I've met with turbo cars and no licence as a result is frightening. Baby steps, buddy.
  2. Yeah, nothing wrong with a non-turbo 33. Obviously not as fast at turbo, but who cares? If you like your car, it doesn't matter if someone else is faster. There'll always be someone quicker, no matter what you drive. It's more important that you like your car, not its 400m time.
  3. Make sure you got some money put away for repairs and maintenance on the 32 gtr.
  4. Well, I don't care for a rating system either. I don't trust it, much like eBay. As for pics, I've got the exact problem now where I'm waiting on pics from about 5 guys on the forums with stuff for sale. And I DEFINITELY think location should be mandatory. To say it doesn't matter when you're dealing with items like exhaust systems and sets of wheels is insane. Either you guys have no concept of postage costs, or you sell / smoke drugs.
  5. Yeah, I love the look of an original 32 GTR. Wouldn't change a thing. Even the stock rims.
  6. I'm fairly certain that RB20's have a higher factory boost setting than the RB25's, due to engine and turbo size.
  7. Very true, but people's desire to go fast in places they're not allowed to isn't going to change with fuel prices or anything else. The fact is, the sort of culture we have here is not going to go away, ever. Since man made the car, he started using it to go as fast as he could. And I don't think we're ever going to stop. I'm just trying to stay one step ahead of the world and work out the next move.
  8. LOL
  9. Am keen on a ps2 with 2 controllers, memory card and gran turismo 4. Thats about it.
  10. Do what I do, register it in SA where the laws are VERY relaxed, then get a transfer to Vic. Easy peasy.
  11. I'm thinking that the next big 'fad' in Australia will be old school yank tanks with jap motors. Something tells me thats where we're heading. Bear in mind, 10 years ago, everyone was driving australian or american cars, and jap cars were off the radar. 5 years ago, jap cars were getting popular, and nowadays they're the norm. So I reckon in about 5-10years time, we're going to be seeing lots of old yankie and aussie cars with jap motors. Imagine rolling by McDonald's and seeing a bunch of cars that look like they're out of the 50's with RB26's and 2JZ's under the hood. Ultra cool.
  12. Thanks buddy. Looking forward to it.
  13. You got any pics of front pipe or what? Also price negotiable? Will need postage to Mildura Vic 3500.
  14. I can't believe you haven't sold it yet! $150 is peanuts for a GTR grill.
  15. Pics of front pipe to [email protected] Also, I'm in Mildura Vic 3500, so postage shouldn't be much of a problem or cost much at all. Want to make sure it's still straight tho!
  16. Pics of front pipe to [email protected] Also if dump pipe available or included in front pipe? Thanks.
  17. I had the same intention with my 32, which is why I got a stock 34 cooler.
  18. Not to put you off the purchase, but if you want an attention grabbing BOV, get the Greddy Type S. It's crazy cool, and the flutter's too common nowadays. I've got one on my 32, and can *try* to arrange some videos of it if you really want. I'm plumbing it back at the moment, but it can be run atmospherically no problemo.
  19. Tonight's display is a bit second-hand. Thankfully star wars is on!
  20. It does that because of the whole car setup, not just the BOV. It's a combination of the intercooler, piping, turbo, etc etc. And the fact that the HKS Racing Type II BOV is a single stage valve, and only operates under high boost levels. Hence, you get a lot of 'reverberation' through the intercooler and piping. If you run this BOV on a relatively stock motor, it will sound much like a HKS SSQV. And similarly, if you get a HKS SSQV BOV on a setup with large intercooler and piping, you can get it to flutter. Fluttering is caused by the pressure finding it easier to escape in places other than the BOV. You have to remember that the outlet for the BOV is only small, and filters and intercoolers provide a LOT of free room when you're blowing off. As for the whistling sound, that's just how the HKS sounds. So if you want that fluttering whistle, get either HKS SSQV / HKS Racing Type II. I recommend the SSQV for people running under 15psi, and the Racing Type II for people running over 15psi.
  21. Hmmm, I'm not really trying to appeal to the rednecks. More to the enthusiasts. And I want something different. Most modified Mustang's have old big block motors in them, and most Jap cars have turbo-crazy motors in them. I'm thinking something of a hybrid. Would turn a lot of heads. Plus I would be one of the first to combine Yank tank looks with Jap smarts!
