Well there are ways around SEVS for sure. Easiest way is importing it as a personal import if you know someone who is coming from Japan to come and live in australia.

R33's aren't bad cars at all for drifting. Maybe a tad heavy but I know of a lot of people who use them and drift very well in them. Only reason people tend to stay away from them is because they are once again pretty expensive cars to buy and a bit more to fix as well.

RB26's are more expensive because of the high initial cost of the motor itself. Internals aren't too bad but when it comes to buying turbos, cost of installation and other factors they tend to be a lot more expensive. By all means a RB26 would be better for drifting because of its twin turbo setup giving it superior low down torque but your not going to make that much more power than what a RB25 would considering its price.

hmmmm yeah im strating to think more and more about keeping mine, im just a bit of a perfectionist, thats why i was looking at a hybrid. like i didnt want teh car to become the limiting factor rather than the driver if you know what i mean.

well i think ill put it up for sale but if i dont get the price i want, then i guess ill just throw a metal head gasket on it and then crank some more boost through it, mwahahahhaha

oh and thanks for your help baz, really appreciate it, hoopefully ill c u on the circuit some time soon

    • I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.
    • My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.
    • Yes, but, I paid cash and I'm pretty sure the receipt was in the bin 10 minutes after I got home Note to self, keep all receipts
    • Bunnings would have just handed you your money back on that one!
    • So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
