I want to buy a cheap dirtyish s6 rx7 with a blown engine or something then import a race/rally one and swap everything...

if only you could find one i guess.... that is the biggest problem. no one would sell one just as a shell they arent like skylines, on every second street corner.

Yep, they are rare, but they do come up from time to time, just got to have the cash handy and be patient. I'm not usually good with the latter. Hence why I don't own an rx7. Maybe sometime soon i'll switch back to a modified car, when I start to miss all the police attention.

sounds like a spirit rs edition most of those features are factory :( if it is it has 3mm apex seals and improved turbo setup they are the most powerful rotary ever built for mass production by mazda

yeah i dont get police attention but mine isnt really modified much. exhuast, suspension and wheels thats it. but i will eventually until i get sick of it and sell it off for 8k less then what i payed for it originally....that is what happens these days isnt it.

Yeah, the depreciation on imports has been rediculous over the past year or so...

R33gtst have to be the most common import into australia now i reckon.

but the problem lies with ppl importing cars to sell just to make a quick buck, and selling them for like 11K etc when clearly they are worth more then this, how can ppl compete with those prices.

and australian domestic market cars like holden, ford etc dont have to compete with that bcoz no one is importing them cheaper from overseas are they.

We also have to lie some of the blame on nissan themselves, from way back in the day when they decided to bring there cult car out here and show up the "V8 BOYS" now those so called V8 boys are driving round in skylines. it was a nutural progression for them to buy a skyline after the stepped out of there commodores & falcons.

nice rx7 will be a real collectors car :(

ahh thats why we still pay so much in tax for importing cars (well that is the theory) I say stop protecting two companies who are suppose to be australian (both owned overseas) and make it a real competition. Because at the moment we are awarding two companies who really are making lesser qualitiy cars and are even themselves taking overseas cars and rebadging them to try and make up their sales (cough opel vectas). NZ did this and yes they did kill their local companies off, but there are less bombs on the road there as cars are a lot more affordable and come with more safety features then what the old bombs did.

    • 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.
