If you don't run a spastic rim width stagger you could just do same size tyres all round too, I'm sure the difference in how a tyre seats on say a 9 and 10" rim wouldn't make enough difference in diameter to faze it.

I would do very bad things to own a set of 18x9.5" Regamasters.

I don't think anywhere you could get a job, commute practically etc would be especially clean. Apparently Cape Grim on Woolnorth has the cleanest air in the world.

Yeah the question would be if the kit itself is any different however. Ah well I'll keep looking, let you know if I find anything and vice versa. Would love the dayz kit - if its not just decals, which is par for the course for fujimi - as thats what we have, grey S1 Dayz.

Getting about 500kms to a tank around town, 600+ on the highway (easily do 650 on flatter runs). S1 RS4, HKS actuator(seems to run 10-12psi), Dayz/Nismo factory option 2.5" system, pod. Has progressively improved as we've owned and serviced it. -FOB with shagged coilpacks, knackered O2 sensor would have done at best 350km or so to a tank, on the highway (!). -Cleaned filthy AFM and a few connectors, new NTK O2 sensor, now had best of about 450km regularly. -.8 gapped NGK coppers and a set of Splitfires got it back to about 500km. -Fixed some perished hoses (small vac/boost leaks), fixed the knackered cat convertor and its blockages downstream (most likely product of rich mixtures early on), new timing belt and getting 600+ highway kms. It is my belief the horror stories about Stagea fuel economy come from neglected FOB cars. O2, clean AFM,all pipes and hoses in good condition, cat flowing properly and a fresh timing belt and accurately set base timing all make a big difference. If yours hasn't had an O2 since import IMO its a matter of priority. Can be changed by a semi competent home mechanic and is inexpensive.

Basic RS Four V s1 kit is still in sporadic production. Never been an S2 as far as I know unless there was a diecast. hlj.com have it to backorder. http://www.hlj.com/product/FUJ03816 1999.co.jp have it in stock. http://www.1999.co.jp/eng/10105749 hwjapan.com have it in stock. http://www.hwjapan.com/sh/kenall_e.aspx?search=stagea&sender=kenall

What kind of T3/T4 is it? Brand? Trim? Exhaust housing?

What are these from, RB20DE/RB20ET car? My turbo one has 4 bolt flanges not 3x2.

My bet would be on it going through inspection fine, so long as it has a bonnet.

More like the GTS4 has a different block, it makes them harder to sell.

$850 isn't cheap for a high KM GTS4 motor with no electronics.

Presumably by steel wheel you mean steel compressor wheel? AFAIK all of them are ceramic turbine wheel.

You are dreaming if you think there is 20kw in a mild street cam for a NA late model skyline mate.

HR31 Redtop RB20DETs and RB20ETs use a smaller clutch plate than the rest (225mm vs 240mm), but otherwise I believe you can interchange RB20DET(from R32/A31/etc)/RB25/RB30/RB26 etc apart from the pull clutch ones

UCF1x Celsiors are shit. They cost more than same generation LS400s. The air suspension is only a liability. Interior electronics all seem to crap out about now. Velour interior is shit. Most examples were ratshit before they were even imported here. Every contact surface will be rooted, for some reason they seem to pick interior materials that just can't cope with Asian sweat. Yet you can buy a tidy LS400 with history, factory leather, regular shocks and springs etc for similar or often less money and in general they are in better nick...I know what I'd buy. Actually probably a locally delivered UCF20 LS400 would be a much better option for a couple more thousand. Longer wheelbase, more room, lot of the issues fixed. Or, since Toyota/Lexus products are ALL heinously overpriced, consider a BMW 540i of the mid 90s. If it has to be celsior era of ancientness, find a local Q45 Infiniti! Fit president front, rear, mild skirt kit, 19x10/11" wheels and K-sport bag kit, done. Personally I'd think awd auto S2 Stagea.

I reckon I can say with pretty much absolute certainty...thats a model mate. But yeah, my fantasy 70s car would be a C130 Laurel for sure. Or a S130 280ZX with a yank market L28ET. When did they stop doing RS5x Crown utes? A more realistic one I think I'd also settle for a good straight T18 when it comes to cars of that era you can get locally.

Not a huge amount, preferably well inside $1k. How much for the wheels off the 33, and what size tyres, blu hsv?

After something which will bolt onto the Stag, prefer all same widths, and prefer something with usable rubber (reason I need them is because I don't want to put rubber on the stock wheels and an alignment issue has worn one front down to the canvas). 17" preferred. Particularly keen on R33 GT-R stock wheels, even R32 ones if they have decent rubber. In a bit of a bind though, don't want to be stuck driving my shitter R31 wagon forever waiting to find rims for the stag!

PM sent

Not sure anyone is saying the 6 speed is weaker, I get that Snowman had problems with his, and went with the 5 speed for both cost and better ratios. Circuit racing /= Targa though so using Super Taikyu as an example is probably pointless.

Please PM me the number of a dealer who will sell me, Joe Public, a S3 bumper skin for $140, because I bought one in January at full list of $286.40+GST. As said, I will go in and buy one for my wagon, and one spare for my coupe if they're $140!

10-off eligibility is a bit ridiculous really for a road event...Sure it allows the kit car type specials to run but I'd have thought a simple point of definition between production based, and specials, would have eliminated the chance of any shitfighting like this?

Where the hell are you getting bumpers for $160 below list price? I'll take as many as they can supply!

153.9 here for BP Ultimate - which is the ONLY 98 octane choice in Tassie, there is nothing else higher than 95 available.

So the ATTKD cars are homologated in some sense? Documented? Can't even find a definitive spec on their website. Surely an almost unknown, scarcely verifiable spec is a bit ridiculous for eligibility... I mean could I enter early modern in a R31House Season Two HR31 GTS-R, with a ball bearing T04, hand made spaghetti stainless manifold, Blitz cooler, Brembos, Kakimoto exhaust, RB25DET box etc that they put in their 'complete' package cars? What makes some workshop special eligible as a base specification?
