He'd be referring to rego and stamp duty. That's roughly what mine worked out to.

Yes, drop an SR20DET in it I had my R34 GT-T landed, on the road and registered for under $16K.

I've used Donnellans in Box Hill for 5 years. I've always been happy with their prices and advice.

All PM me your phone numbers (I'm not a stalker)

I didn't have anyone's phone numbers

Eastside represent. It turned out to be more of an East vs East meet, there wasn't many westies at Albert Park. It was great to meet people. I got lost when LEANBAC/AP turned off as I followed a larger pack of Skylines who ended up going home. Spent ages trying to find you guys and got lost somewhere in South Melbourne. Oh well

R34 to both. I would have taken the Pulsar on Sunday but I doubt I'll have it back. It's having a tranny service.

Soft. I'm going to Heathcote too, I'll force you to go to Albert Park with us

Dealers generally sell complied cars so you wouldn't have to worry about that side of things. Downside is you'll pay a premium for a car here. Upside is you can see and drive the car before buying it. If you buy through a broker and import a car you'll be waiting a little while (in your case, not a bad thing), another downside is you're buying a car you haven't seen or driven and it can have parts damaged or stolen on the way over. The big upsides are you'll generally get it MUCH and there's a lot more choice. Send the broker looking for exactly the colour and options you want. That said I imported my R34 through Jspec and it was exactly as per all photos I received and reports on the condition From when I paid for it to when it was registered on the road was around 3 months.

This is really quite sad. Why are you bitching about one forums opinions on another forum? http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=312237

Needs more doors

SR runs a chain rather than a belt, but yep, definitely going to check that

I hope so. From Dr Drift: I agree with what he's said, it's all pretty logical. I have a few things to look at, wish me luck.

No I haven't, but I'll add it to the list. I'm really thinking it's timing now...I had my timing chain replaced a year ago - maybe it's out a tooth or two?

Wingless Grey R34 4-Door on Canterbury Road in Kilsyth at about 5:15pm tonight.

Dyno'ed in 3rd gear - remember it's a 4spd Auto. 4th is just a cruising at over 100kmp/h gear, infact I can't use it under 100kmp/h. Sam has no idea, I spent until midnight there one night. No-one has any idea why. My auto builder said it's not the auto, the car should make more power. You lose power through an auto but you don't not gain anything by winding up the boost. I can't gain a single kw. Plenum is stock. My cooler and intake pipes are all mandrel bent. I'm not sure how the spacer plate could cause an issue as it's the exact shape of the manifold and there's no exhaust leaks, it's not restricting exhaust gases. The stock GTi-R manifold could be a restriction, however the car boosts well. The health of the engine? I'm not sure. It's been in my car for roughly 20,000km and it's roughly 10 years old with no history. I bought it as a bare engine with '50,000km or less'. Judging my the condition under the rocker cover, it may not have been exactly correct. It was a bit sludgy but that's long since gone. I haven't had it compression tested, but I've never had reason to suspect that anything wrong with it. It's had probably 5 or more coolant flushes in 20,000km (or various reasons), probably 10 oil changes, multiple gaskets replaced, a brand new timing chain, tensioner and guides. That makes me think - could cam timing be out?

That's one thing I haven't touched, but planned to. I just wanted to rule out everything before I do that and find out it's possibly a waste of time Stock cams should have been good for somewhere over 200fwkw I would've thought.

Basically, I'm at a loss to explain it. So hopefully some tech-heads on here can lend me some advice. The short relevant specs of the car related the Engine/Driveline are: - JDM Avenir PNW10 SR20DET (2L Turbo) conversion from stock GA16DE (1.6L Naturally Aspirated), custom wiring harness, retaining Air-con. - Avenir Auto ECU re-mapped by Dr Drift - Nismo 740cc injectors - Genuine Z32 Airflow Meter with Bosch plug - HKS EVC 6 Boost Controller - Two Aftermarket Auto Transmission Coolers - 600x300x76 Hybrid Copy Front Mount Intercooler, custom Stainless Steel piping - Go Fast Bits StealthFX BOV - Custom Aluminium Pod Box with 3A Racing Pod Filter, Metal Intake Pipe - GT28RS 'Disco Potato' .64 housing with modified actuator bracket and rod - Pulsar RNN14 GTiR Exhaust Manifold - Longer Manifold Studs - Liverpool Exhaust 10mm Manifold Spacer Plate - 3" full Stainless Steel mandrel bent Exhaust, Stainless Steel straight-though Muffler - CES Split GTi-R Dump Pipe - CES Metal Substrate Cat - Pulse PHB650 Dry Cell Battery - Pulsar N14 JDM SR18DE Auto Transmission with VLSD, rebuilt for turbo application completely from scratch; Custom Valve Body Custom Heavy Duty Clutch Packs and Hubs Custom Heavy Duty Band and Drum 12mm wider than standard Custom Torque Converter with Heavy Duty Lock Up Clutch and Roller Bearings Custom machined Servo Assembly SR18DE Sentra Shift Kit The car is a 1998 Nissan Pulsar LX Sedan. These are the most recent dyno sheets: On 17PSI: 13PSI (stock actuator boost) VS 17PSI: Note: Peak power is almost identical, it gets to a certain point (160fwkw) and plateaus off. No matter how much boost you run, it makes the same peak power. Torque and low-down power increase...but then it goes flat... Wtf am I missing? The car has spark, fuel, boost. It's not running lean nor rich. Ignition timing has been backed off a smidge (2'.) The 13PSI reading was the untuned figure. The 17PSI reading is the tuned figure. It doesn't blow smoke, it doesn't misfire, it doesn't overheat, the Auto doesn't slip. What on earth could it be?

You'll learn more than just hitting a track by yourself. It's good practice.

I had Macadamia and Caramel icecream with Oreo mixed in...mmmm

haha, yes I was. Call me an idiot but I parked at Knox Hospital (because Cold Rock's carpark was full), ran across in the rain and got icecream

^Their days are fantastic, well worth the money.

It did yesterday It seems to be a problem with the way SAU formats the link. Go to Google, type "epa pulsar noise", select to show pages from Australia and it's the third line down.

B3ZA near Cold Rock last night.
