yeah its been a three week labour funkymonkey haha.

yes ant she is now mine!! i am so going to either lose my license or kill myself she is actually faster than the skyline.

Great stuff Niz......I know how capable they are....I was up against one at a deca day in Vic...only power mods were intake and exhaust but it had a crap load of suspension work.....even my 200rwkw gtst was humbled by it (not by much but even so).

Enjoy it and I hope to see you at a track or skidpan soon :huh:

Nice car niz, I have been sorely missing a turbo car and have been thinking about what to get as my next ride. A mate bought one of these a yellow limited ed one and I went for a drive in it the other day (basic modes, exhauast, pod filter, better suspension) and I was amazed at the low down torque and overall acceleration... i might have to look at one of these :)

nah jezz decided it wasnt for her .....its gone to a new home in rockingham so maybe some of the RICE crew might see it around .... but i doubt it. Its this guys first import - had VK statesmens and stuff like that before. In the end it sold for $14.5K

I had a cry! then i sat in my new project :rolleyes:

yeah but when importers are selling them for about $8K and other people with the same configuration are selling them for $15K .... not much of a choice. Unfortunately a vehicle is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it ...... plus it gets paulie off my back about selling it.

Admittingly my R33 wasn't exactly in perfect - there was a little bit of race tape on there where the corner of the front spoiler had been ripped and a trolley ding in the side etc.

Dan Im not going to argue with that its becoming scary in fact!!

Maybe i should even get a job as a carsalesperson :)

I've started even going off in threads (not these forums) "Should I by this car" it's like why the hell do you need a thread to ask every john, dick and harry should you buy a car or not - we aint going to be driving it, we aint going to be paying for it ..... if you like it and can afford it then the only person left ot give it the okay is an mechanic. Geez .... hahaha maybe that should go in the "what really grinds my gears thread" people that have to bring a committee or consult a committee of people before making a decision that at the end of the day will only effect them.

    • So my rb is finally having more problems. 2 issues here but I'm here to just to mainly discuss the rattle noise. The other day when I turned on the car and when I take off or go in reverse, there is a temporary rattle noise but when I cruise, boost, idle it's completely fine no rattle whatsoever. I've also done all the servicing, all the health checks you can think of and it all passes with flying colours.  Also the rattle doesn't increase with rpm, it's only at a very certain rpm (slightly above 1,100rpm). My other car also has the same issue every once in a while. Changed the oil recently, no difference. Even took my oil to a lab and everything was quite good surprisingly. Timing belt changed a while ago to. Had the car on the hoist and can't see anything obvious. Tightened a couple of nuts on the exhaust manifold a couple of months ago. 2 different clips uploaded. One of them was supposed to another issue but I'll save that for another time. Thought I'd see if anyone had this same noise before, it's a bit hard to diagnose while it's intermittent. If I'm not mistaken, I think I had this a while back but can't remember exactly. I was thinking if it's doable I'll get someone to hold the throttle cable at 1,100rpm and hopefully it replicates the sound. rb25det rattle only.mp4 rb25det slow start + rattle.mp4
