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.

    • My bad, I unplugged the one underlined in red instead of yellow before. With the car started, after unplugging the IACV (the one underlined in yellow), it idled at around 400/500 for 3 seconds before stalling. Attempting to start the car without the IACV will not start the car.   It does stutter and sputter for around 5 seconds before dying. However, immediately after starting it, you can already hear some slight sputters from the exhaust.   It won't start with the AFM unplugged. If it is when the car has already started, it stalls in a few seconds.   Yesterday, I did take some logs using Nistune of 3 scenarios. Car idling till it stalls Car idling and unplugging the IACV Car idling and removing the AFM I also have some previous logs of when the Car is idling till it stalls and when driving and it cuts. I am not really knowledgeable enough to understand what to look for. After every test, car idles rougher and rougher, until I have to stop. It will be fine the day after.
    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
