hey a5h,

just a heads up dude.

If your thinking of buying a local car ( one already in Australia ), then the new import regulations will not effect you in anyway what so ever so don't rush it. On the other hand if you wanna bring one in from Japan, then the word is that cars will have to be located and bought in Japan, no later than the end of next week in order to make it here safely before the new regs come into play.

Guys, please don't publish my plates on the internet...

I kept those plates for my new skyline, so I'd appreciate it if you removed that from your post Kamikaze...

Cheers mate!

There are plenty of nice R33 GTS-T that seem to be going for sale lately at good prices (just check the for sale area) and with a few extras. Now seems like a pretty good time to buy so you're lucky.

Don't overlook travelling to buy your car either. I travelled 500km from Melbourne a couple of times to pick up mine from Mildura because it was the right car at the right price. Its a bit of hassle, but it can well be worth it. $200-$300 on travelling costs to look at/pick up a good car you're really happy with ends up not being much in the overall equation.

    • Yep that's pretty much what I want to see. Racecars that look and sound like the Group A but with newer tech underneath to make them faster and safer. I'm sure there's enough VK-to-VN commodore, E30 BMWs and Foxbody mustangs shells around to make up a decent number of cars with hopefully a couple of sierras, rx7 and R31s in there too. 
    • Contact Jessestreeter.com/Skevas Racing/JustJap for a new r34 rb gearbox or go a cd00# conversion. No point playing with unknown condition gearboxes.
    • Such a shame places like Amaroo Park have been redeveloped, smaller tracks always make for good racing. Cheers for sharing @PranK there's some good Lakeside video's too. Its so hard with older the cars as parts are so rare and everything was made for a particular chassis at that point in time. Even the V8 Supercar Blueprint era cars are all different between each chassis within a team as they learnt things and made improvements. The COTF cars between each Chassis builder is different too especially motor/oil systems/intakes. The Group A stuff is worth so much too especially chassis with good history. The only way to do it would be composite panels and similar engine drivelines to the original cars. Ford sierra running Focus RS driveline, Commodore running a short stroke LS/LT or a Falcon with coyote and a H Pattern dog box. Could use a standard ecu across all models with a Torque Map and DBW for parity which is not even used in Supercars currently. Hell a TCM is almost a full chassis car these days and the suspension is not even close to standard style in the front running cars.  
    • Dashcams Australia (13/05/25) captured JDMHSE (Vic plate) being a right tosser. 
    • Wish someone would start a racing series for Group A replica cars, a bit like Touring Car Masters but for 1985 onwards and not grandpa's falcon and/or Monaro. I know they race in some historic class but that's for original cars, no replicas allowed.
