The Mafia

Awesome work, well done. E85 is magic.

There is a dude that does paintless dent removal, last time I checked with him it was about $65 Maybe have a look in the phone book?

Stock turbo or T88? Need more info

Yeah, was a nice car, but there were a couple of reasons why I am not sure about it I was keen on twins and a genuine RB26, not a RB30. I would like to keep the car fairly original

I'm annoyed - only 3 shit quality R34 GTRs went up for auction this week. The f**ked thing is with this North Korean dickhead, it could cause massive issues with importing a car. Hope he gets f**ked up bigtime, him and his entire f**ked up family. They are all the same. http://www.news.com.au/world-news/starved-of-food-starved-of-the-truth-how-kim-jong-un-suppresses-his-people/story-fndir2ev-1226616134393

I drive it every day to work - its completely f**ked. I've seen some holes that were over 1 foot deep. More than enough to destroy my little corolla

That made me lol

I know Simon, he's a good lad.

Thanks for the link - Definitely a good buy. SHame its not a twin turbo though. Do you know how many kms are on the odometer?

Cool, thanks. Seeing way to many bad examples already in Australia, dodgy dealers buying Grade R cars and getting them illegally complied, wound back etc. I have been looking directly in Japan. Saw a car go for $60k landed and complied, and then show up on carsales 2 months later for $100k. f**ken rip off assholes.

Once I find a GTR, would any of you guys be keen to head down to Warrick Raceway for a weekend to do a few laps?

Funny thing is, I saw the GTR driving to work too this morning, must have been your wife driving Looks good

Usually $1950 - $2k for the ECU. The new Vipec Plugin for the GTS-GTR also has an extra knock board (From a higher model) now so that it can manage your knock sensors. Out of all the ECU's I have tested the vipec is by far the best. Ask Benny, he'll agree. I am sure he sleeps with one under his pillow. lol.

Vipec all the way mate They make a plugin for the R34 GTR

I would, those particular Toyota engines are almost bullet proof!

Ease up Kingy, lol

Dave is great. Sent my dad over to get his GS ute edited (5.0L supercharged). Completely stock, no mods 280rwkw Only an edit done : 345rwkw. Runs great now, dad loves it haha

Hey Kingy, the exchange rate has gone awesome at the moment, its trading at 96 yen to the dollar. I also have a friend that imports cars attached to a compliance workshop in Brisbane, and he's been looking at only good quality cars for me. You can buy and R34 cheaper these days. When the exchange rate was 74yen I was going to pay around $45-50k. Already know about the expenses of modding too. Not cheap!

Thanks for the reply - I have been looking at an auction site (That views all Japanese auctions) and I could get a very clean R32 GTR with even some mods of Te37s for under $15k delivered. You should look for yourself, its not bad at all. I've been looking at R34s again, mainly because I want the 6 speed, and something that stands out a bit. I haven't owned a decent car for a while and I guess its probably time I buy again. I'm in the same boat as you though, I'm looking at buying house #2 and that usually gets the priority. Would you ever buy another R33? I like the look of them.

Ben, got a question for you. If you had a pair of HKS2530s & accessories sitting on your shelf, and then I handed you $40k and said you can only buy a GTR with that money, what would you buy? R34, R33, or R32?

The pussies won't put them on the strip, they are too scared

I took my gearbox to driveline services at paget. A cranky dude, about 40-45 years old did mine, and he did a perfect job. Was pretty cool to talk to also. Showed me a few thing about the box. He was just cranky in general because he was flat out. and no one was able to help him. He said the RB25 boxes were piss easy to do, and very much like a toyota landcruiser box inside. (Show me them next to each other) Anyway, here are some points for you: - I got my bearing kit from CBC bearings. They had a kit for the RB25 gearbox in stock. Cost $550. Had all bearings, pins, washers, springs (Whatever a rebuild kit consists of). - I needed an input shaft because one of the gears that transfers power to the other shaft had the hardening coating wearing off between the teeth. (You could see the dark spots) The old dude said that it would probably last another 10,000kms to 20,000kms and start whining and put metal in the box. New Shaft from Nissan - $580. - Driveline services charged me $650 to do the box after giving them all the parts. - I didn't replace my synchros even though they were glazed and grinding between 1st & 2nd, and 4th & 5th. I simply bead blasted the cones on the gears so they were rough and the synchros could grab them again. I would probably bead blast the cones and get new synchros if I had to do it again. After all of this, and about 2,000kms on the gearbox, some guy ran a red light and I crashed into him and wrote the car off. Sold the gearbox to a mate for $1800. lol. Its in a SR20 powered Datsun stanza now. They pulled down the box before installing it and he said that it was perfect inside. So driveline must have done a decent job. Also, driveline offer a 5,000km 6 month warranty (Or some sort of warranty like that) on their work too. I think that's a winner. At least if they f**k it up, you won't be paying for it.

Leon has a tyre fitting machine and a wheel balancer. He'll do it for you

Here is a better idea. Put the factory one back on. It will be safer and cheaper. Sell the aftermarket one and learn from your mistakes.

Definitely wont be taking it off road Just want a decent daily for our f**ked Mackay roads and drivers
