Obviously 1989 models are now coming up for sale.

So what do you think about these? I would imagine these would have be close to stock after May but still.

Maybe 1990/1992 models will be coming up soon next year. They certainly will not be a cheap car to run but certainly fun.

I am wondering :D

15 yo rule has nothin to do with what SEVS is implementing. Meaning u can import a car with wateva mods u want, they dont need to be destroyed, and ur only concern is small things like changing seatbelts, mirrors, and installing side intrusion bars if needed. Once that is done, u need to make sure the car is roadworthy and will pass through your govts car centre place (ie Adelaide = regency.)

Hope that clears up a bit for you.

Oh and 89 GTRs are horn. Wait for a heaps modded one and u should get it real cheap. Somethin in Bayside Blue would look awesome. Imagine it.

yup u can bring one over now if u like and when it comes to exactly 15yrs from the date that the car was made,u can get it complied/ Engineered. Or u could get it now,do all the work needed to get it passed,then once its time all u have to do is take it there,get it ticked off and off ya go :D

if i see one for cheap im gonna get one,but i just want a normal turbo,cause i just want rwd

Wat ken is sayin is that U CANNOT bring in a 15 yo car now if its a 89 GTR for example. U have to wait until the beginning of next year, then submit ur DOTRS import approval and tick 15 or older car.

U cannot simply bring the car here now, and get the car ticked off when its 15 y.o

So yehs i agree with Ken, know ur facts before u post somethin

14K there or here ?

Ken, it was there...but that price (approx $14,900) was the cost all-up to get it over here (excluding ORC)...

oh and also excluding a "small storage fee" to keep it in Japan till next year so it's eligible under the 15y.o. scheme...

still cost you 2000 to get it complied, engineered

also 14k is a great price for the first month(so you pay17k on the road)

until you factor in the engine rebuild 7-10k

then you might realise wat value this car actually is

with the rebuild you have paid 25-27k (for a 89 model form jap)

then the price seems about right

    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.  
    • I don't know any details, but I really wouldn't be surprised if they do it as a LHD only version, at least initially.
    • Thanks for the replies everyone. Definitely a coolant push. Oil catch can is empty and always has been. As the engine is out now I'll be having a good look over things. I do have some detonation on the piston tops from a trigger issue back about 5 years ago. I felt it and shut off then bought a new ecu and changed the trigger. Never been an issue since. It never hurt the power, its made almost 80hp more since that incident but I will pull the bearing caps to take a look. If the bearings are damaged I will do a bottom end refresh. Head is being re conditioned at the moment and the block will be cleaned and checked to ensure it's flat. I'll go with a kameari gasket and see how it ends up. The other thing I'm not super keen on is the cylinder colours. I suspect this is from the inlet manifold. The plan will be to put it back together, retune and then stick a plazmaman billet inlet on it and retune. I'm happy with the power, if it makes a little more, then great, but I would rather just make everything more efficient at this stage.
    • Maybe they'll look to do a bunch of presales to help inject some cash fast for their financial issues...
    • Does it also misfire equally when revving?   Josh is very correct in what you should do. The coilpack harness wiring loom itself is a known problem due to its age and the number of heat cycles it has gone through. Throwing parts at a vehicle to diagnose the issue isn't a smart or good way to do it. Secondly, you may have a bad coil pack, you pop replacements in, they fix that issue, but messing with the harness breaks it, so the issue persists. So now you think "well it wasn't the coil packs" and have to continue chasing your tail, potentially swapping back in your shit coil packs and returning the good ones (yes, I've seen people do this because 'it wasn't the problem' and they want to save money). And suddenly, you've got two issues with the same symptoms...   Diagnose, don't use the spare parts shotgun.
