  1. Hi SAU, Need your opinions. Shopping around for a small to medium SUV for the Mrs, she prefers to be higher up, and we also need space for future kids. Our range is around 12 to 15k, but happy to stretch the budget if the vehicle is good. I'll be doing all the general maintenance and upkeep, so highish (circa 200,000km) milage isn't really an issue, obviously the lower the milage the better. What we are looking for: - Little higher than a normal car's ride height. - Preference to a diesel, but not overly fussed if the vehicle is right. - Decent on fuel. - Must be automatic. - AWD, for boat ramps and regular snow trips. - Safe - Reliable - Not older than early 2000s - Must be capable of towing a small trailer/boat/jet ski. - Easy to use around town ie. parking I've been looking around and have come across two very polarising cars, that we seem to like - but not dead set on. Mercedes ML270 5cyl diesel and Toyota Caldina ST-246. Not in a major rush as she is still learning to drive. Planning to buy in roughly 12 to 14 months - this gives her time to learn and for us to save up and prices to come down. Open to everyone's suggestions. Cheers

  3. I had a quick read of the conversion guide and seen that everyone was using GTR box keeping it AWD, I was wondering if u follow the same line, can u do the manual conversion with a RWD gearbox and by simply disconnecting the front driveshaft??? Any input would be greatly appreciated

  6. Hi all, I have a 2002 model Subaru Impreza WRX for sale in WRC blue color, by far the best factory color for this car. The only modification is a 3" exhaust, apart from that the car is completely stock standard. The car runs beautifully and has never given me any sort of grief. This car does not choke on start up or do anything a WRX shouldn't do. It starts up quickly, first time every time. Before I bought this car, I checked out maybe another 6 or 7 WRX's of the same model on the market at the time and this one was by far the cleanest and best running, and I have kept it that way. I already got the RWC done this month on the 14th which is valid for 30 days, so it is still useable until the 14th of April. Good things: - 11 months rego - RWC - WRC blue color - Brant immobilizer from factory, requires a 4-digit pin to start up, not a good thing for thieves - STi sideskirts - slimline number plates - 3" exhaust, gives the car that WRX rumble everyone loves - headunit with AUX in, and comes with an amp - brand new tyres all around - still have original owners manual from Subaru - 180xxx on the clock which is very reasonable for a 10yr old car - never been in a crash, never been stolen, no finance owing, clean title The bad: - honestly the only bad thing I can think of is there is a few minor scratches, nothing major Message me anytime on 0425 531 332 if you have any questions or want to inspect the car. Located in Tarneit, Melbourne's west Thanks $12,999 ono

  8. Hey guys, up for sale is my 2001 NM35 stag. 111,000kms Bought over from Vic and needs a few things done. Unfortunatly, due to unforseen circumstances, I no longer have the time or $ to fix her up Body and Interior are in very good condition - besides the one scrape you can see in the pic. Recently replaced rocker covers, however since putting all back together she now runs a little rough. Ive probably just missed a vacuum line or something, im not sure. Drove beautifully beforehand and drove over here to Adelaide from Melbourne no dramas. She does need some tyres and front shocks. Rear discs also need machining. Didnt want to take for an I.D until all this was sorted, so that will need to be done also. All compliance plates etc are all on the car. Perfect for someone that knows a bit about these cars and could fix her up cheaply Im pretty firm but flick me an offer, I now just need her out of my driveway as im about to build a new house! $5500 0434980676 Corey

  12. Hey guys and girls I have been looking into fitting a T56 6 speed manual gearbox or TR606 to my R33 GTR I have carried out allot of research I have found out RWD conversions are possible and have been done but no one has done a AWD conversion that I have been able to find. I think this could be a viable and cost effective option for people who are looking for a quiet street able gearbox which is capable of handling high HP. Now the cost for a setup like this could range from $6000 to $8000 that is a estimate at this stage the first unit would more than likely be more expensive but with more interest these costs could fall The T56 Magnum would probably be the gearbox of choice as it is the strongest syco box they do Able to withstand a massive 700 lb-ft. of torque while providing unbelievably crisp shifts, no other manual transmission on the planet offers as much combined strength, versatility, and general ease-of-use as the T-56 Magnum. Known in its original equipment form as the 'TR-6060', the Magnum is an aftermarket version of the same transmission found in many of today's most celebrated factory super cars – including the ZR1 Corvette and ACR Viper – giving you refinement where you want it and strength where it counts. Other positives about these gearboxes are gear sets PPG have dog configurations and sequential setups for the more hardcore drivers. I personally wouldn’t see the point all you would do is fit a PPG setup to the factory 5 speed. The bell housing is also allot larger this may offer GTR owners more clutch options more surface area and the possibility to run a nicer street able clutch (sprung centre) The biggest positive is retaining the 4WD and for me that the game changer. This isn't set in stone as yet, I am looking for advice and wisdom there is a huge amount of knowledge on this forum and would love to hear your thoughts and comments thanks for your time Frosty
  13. Hi Guys, I joined the forum few days back, reading and hoping to find a answer to my Delmer. I currently am doing a full resto on a 69 dodge phoenix now for over a year and i am needing a break on it, so i decided to buy a cheap skyline and go from there. Too cut a long story short, I bought a immaculate rolling shell R33 GTS4 and all that it requires is motor, box n ecu, thinking how hard is it to slip an engine n box...........well After trying to find anything that could help me out, i got totally confuddelled ...but from what I have read I have one of the less desirable skylines. All I would like to do is get the car back running in original set up and everything to work as it was before removal of old motor n box. Now do i need to find a replacement from another R33 GTS4 or Can i source a RB25DE form another car? what about ecu? do i use the one from replacement motor or find one from a GTS4? I need a gearbox, can i use one out of a GTS T or from any other model. I know some of my questions might be stupid to some but i do apologize, so if anyone can throw me a link, phone number or any advice it would be most appreciated.
  14. Selling my much loved Mazda 6 MPS. I bought this car to daily, and its a fantastic car. Only reason I'm selling it is because I now work across the road from my house, so I don't even use the car so am thinking of selling to buy a much cheaper car as a weekender. It is the luxury pack with full leather, sunroof, bose system. The car is currently insured for $32k, so definitely holds a great market value. Build: Late 2006 Mazda 6 MPS - Velocity Red 106,000kms 2.3L DISI Turbo 6 Speed Manual All Wheel Drive 18" Alloys Sunroof Black leather interior 10 Speaker BOSE Surround Sound System Xenon Headlights Modifications: Pedders Lowered Springs all round Front Lip Yellow Foglight tint Mazdaspeed Bonnet Bulge Decal Mazdaspeed6 Black badge on rear Genuine Black Mazda badges (front + rear) Turbosmart Dual Port BOV Turbosmart IWG 7PSI (Internal Wastegate Actuator) Turbosmart Boost Gauge SURE Motorsports Torq R6 (BRAND NEW not fitted) Looking for $24,000 ONO, very negotiable on the price. The car has 6 months rego on it. Interested in swaps plus cash adjustment my way for a R32 GTR or R33 GTR. Show me what you've got and we can go from there. Here's a pic for now, will upload some more pics tonight as the pic I've uploaded isn't exactly recent. Thanks, Rohan
  15. So i've always had some sort of sport car reliable or unreliable, bug eye wrx, r32 gts-t, and 2 180sx's. Now finally set my mind on hoping to have a keeper, 1994 nissan pulsar gti-r. Bought it unregisted for about a month now, waiting on funds as its xmas and an apprentice its gonna take ages to get it past the mvr for rego. heres a pic of it

  17. RB25DET NEO , AWD vs RWD trans Looking to swap my RB20det with an RB25det NEO and run the RB20 nistune wiring / ecu as it is in an rx7. Push to Pull Conversion, Intake manifold, shaft yoke etc. differences aside. However the dilemma arises when shopping the Canadian market for the engines. My biggest issue has always been the weak Rb20 gearboxes. Keep in mind I have the ability to modify the transmission & oil pan and that I will have to increase the driveshaft tunnel size anyway. All long blocks with trans, turbo, ecu etc. RB25det RWD S2 - $3200.00 (Don't really want anyway) RB25det RWD Neo - $2800.00 (Preference) RB25det AWD Neo - $2200.00 First question, do the AWD versions only come in Stageas? Or was there an R34 GTS-4? As it is advertised as coming from a skyline. Does the AWD version feature the same transmission from a R34 GTR? I.e same transfer case, gear set, 6 speed, etc. If so is it stronger than the RWD box? Lastly is there any mechanical / electrical differences from AWD / RWD besides oil sump? I heard something about Traction control on factory ecu being different, but likely won't effect me unless I maintain current harness for some reason.
  18. R34 25GT-FOUR Hello everyone, i have been looking up some information on a R34 25GT-FOUR that i might be buying soon, the question i'm trying to find an answer to is the AWD system, is a the same setup as a torque split or is it always in 4wd mode. A few sources have said its always in 4wd mode and others say its 2wd until traction is lost. What makes it more confusing is that it is running a R33 RB26DETT engine with a R32 gearbox. Thanks
  19. Power loss diag update - snow button So I have come across something that seems to have fixed the very slow responsiveness of the throttle in my series 1 RS4 auto today. I met up with the local stagea owners over the weekend and I heard at some point that the snow button on the centre console pressurizes the Atessa system when it is flicked on. So I thought that maybe in my car it is not pressurizing correctly upon ignition and that might be why the car feels so sluggish. I tried it this morning I flicked the switch to "snow" and back to "power" a couple of times and there it was: torque, accelleration, response. I can now feel the difference between off boost and on boost more defined and the wheels spin much easier too. So is there any info you guys might have or know of about how the "pressurizing" of the Atessa system works? Should I get the awd serviced maybe?
  20. WHERE CAN I GET THIS SPOILER! Can anyone link me to an Australian website to dealer (preferably WA) where i can get this spoiler. (inb4 paul walker fan boy comments)
  21. Best AWD/4WD torque split controller Hi all, I did a quick search but did not find anything which really satisfied me I am looking at options for a awd controller From what I hear the ETS pro is the latest and greatest but still applies line pressure even in 2wd mode and can cause transfer failures, are failures common? Has this been raised with full race? Ruzic is no longer available but was considered the best, it still used the factory analogue sensor though, would this still be considered better than the ETS pro? cheers

  24. Attesa not working I have a S1 C34 that is manual converted, with power fc. I have the secret squirrel mod done. It previously had an extreme TSC that I removed thinking that may be the cause, but no change. My AWD has never worked since I bought the car 2 years ago. When I purchased the car the owner said the Attesa needed to be bled since the gearbox had been out. I bled the Attesa and it still doesn't work. I can hear the pump prime when I turn ign on and it runs occasionally while sitting at idle. I have had the awd and abs lights come on and stay on after sitting idle for long periods. I don't seem to have any fault codes to try and work out why it doesn't work. I have checked that the Attesa ECU is receiving a TPS signal and that is all ok. I'd really like to get it working, as it is hard getting the power down just through the rear wheels. I've been reading and am thinking either pressure switch or accumulator. Is there any way to check these for sure?
