  1. What made the airbox for it? Good luck selling it, always liked these older Supras
  2. I prefer the hatch as I think it looks better plus it offers more versatility as it could take more of a load in the rear if the seats were folded down. Are there any Pulsar forums which are not for the GTi-R?
  3. What is Nissans reputation like for automatic gearboxes? I would prefer an auto but open to manual
  4. Any particular reason you think so highly of the Pulsar?
  5. Hi guys, Does anyone have any experience with the N16 Pulsar Q 1.8L hatchback? I am considering one as a daily driver and wondering if they have any problematic areas, how they drive, their fuel consumption, comfort etc. In this class other viable options are the 01+ Corolla and 01+ Civic, both 5 door hatchbacks. I would likely prefer these 2, however the Nissan seems to be the cheapest as a second hand buy. Help is appreciated For reference:
  6. Thanks again for your help I was initially a little bit put off because I thought a $1m house would incur roughly $10,000 per year in rates, which sounds preposterous to pay this much to live in your own house.
  7. And are there any other costs? ie, Land tax, or is this the same as the rates?
  8. Thanks guys, The money will come from a sale of other property situated outside of Australia. Would that make a difference at all in stamp duty etc?
  9. Hi guys, Can someone tell me what property taxes are like in Canberra? And what this includes (land rates etc?) More specifically for a house roughly $800-$1.2M worth, with no mortgage, primary place of residence. Also property taxes on property which is rented out (other than income tax). Help is appreciated
  10. Well I will need to go over the pits regardless and get an engineers certificate as they no longer accept my NSW one. I was mostly curious as to whether I need to return every 1 or 2 years for a check up Thank for the help guys
  11. When my car got defected, the cop ticked that I can take it to any inspection station as it was a minor defect. So I went to an inspection station in Fyshwick and the guy started looking over the car etc, then eventually looked under a hood and realized the car had an engine conversion, at which stage he gave me the papers back and said it has to go to Dickson because a car with an engine conversion is classed as "modified" and HAS to go through Dickson each and every time.
  12. What about if your car is classed as modified? ie, where if defected it has to go over the pits and a normal inspection station is not good enough?
  13. Hi guys, I know if you buy a car which is older than 6 years, or you register a car from interstate, or your registration has been expired for more than a year you need a roadworthy. But, is there any other time? Sort of like how UK has the MOT system where cars older than X amount of years need to get checked every 2 years
  14. Yes it's a shame the whole club seemingly dissolved
  15. How much does it cost roughly to engineer?
  16. Thanks guys for the comments, Sir son of rajab Van, it must have been a different car to mine. Depending on how fast (or not) it turns out to be I may build another engine for it but with cams, high compression pistons etc
  17. Can you tell me who the engineer was a20089? I want my car to be legal but welding my coilovers is a bit extreme
  18. Hi guys, This is my very first car, bought new in 2001 as a present. For sentimental reasons I have not sold it. It has been unregistered for the past few years however I hope to get it going soon. In 2004 I swapped the motor to a 6A12 MIVEC. In 2006 it has been fully rebuilt, balanced rotating assembly, ported & polished heads, race tuned HPC coated extractors, 2.5" mandrel bent exhaust, ported intake runners, bored plenum, 5mm oversize TB , raised compression ratio, FPR and an e-manage to tune it. Gearbox is a JDM Cyborg RS short ratio box + Cusco 1.5 way LSD, Exedy HD clutch and a rally spec quickshifter Suspension consists of Tein SS coilovers, whiteline strut braces, F&R adjustable swaybars, adjustable spherical links for the swaybars, and every single bush has been upgraded to Superpro items. Tires are 205-45-16 Bridgestone S-02. Brakes are Evo III all round, FTO booster and master cylinder. Interior is black MR, JDM dashboard, JDM climate control, FTO instrument cluster, black suede Integra Type R Recaro seats on Evo VI rails, Razo gearknob, and an Isotta steering wheel. I have other cars now and hence this one has been ignored a bit but it has always been a lot of fun to drive hence my rekindled interest in it. My future plans include deleting the bodykit, new wheels and semi slick tires and maybe using it as a track car. There are no power figures as out of compulsion after the engine was rebuilt the car was put into storage and has not moved in years.
  19. Shell, though I am unaware of the reason behind why the other fellow forum member is called "spew bucket", I can however deduce that the reasons must share quite a few similarities I guess maybe Bucket is less inclined to share his story as of late
  20. Any idea what the go is with coilovers? I have heard 100s of conflicting reports, not only by car enthusiasts but also by the people at the pits in Dickson. Last time I asked there (2 months ago) they told me they are completely fine, yet the time before they told me they are illegal, and other times I have heard they are legal so long as they are welded and cannot be adjusted for height
