good luck with the car looks awesome good luck getting it engineered for comp and regoed with that mofo turbo... and the epa will rape you up da ass. esp once they see your website...2ndly with a car like that worth the extra to send via container it is not usually the wharfies rather soemtimes the crew on the ship.. all cars sent by container never had an item pinched inc a a power fc handcontroller left under the seat.. most cars sent by ship had stereos gauges and cd stackers ripped.

okay, i'm gonna ask a really really stupid question here:

80% of the cars i've seen photos of that are still in japan look like they're taken in the same garage as yours dude?!?!?

what gives? anyone?

That will go like stink with 2835R turbo on it.. heat wrapped pipes too shows its been tuned properly by a decent tuning house..that thing will GO .. maybe 250rwk ? hard to tell of course.. but yeah, looks like a beauty, and it will go fast

bastard :)

yeah was bought at osaka.

i had it moved to go in container but bank lost my contract so it took for ever to pay and the next container ship would have arrived too late so it had to come by car ship.

i just realised that they tried to steal the steering wheel too, two of the bolts are missing which i assumed they always were, but they are in the pics from japan.

already complied, problem is rwc and rego, epa should be fine they are easily fooled.

inark, i have no idea where you live. if by factories you mean moorabin/cheltanham, then ill be going to ICE alot soon to get it tuned and sh*t.

dave, you might get a ride if you bring those rims down for me... but just realised that they have to be able to take 225 tyres! yes and if your around your woman whenever i see her next you might get one then...

    • I thought it could be an issue because the standard plate was flexing when stressed. Maybe the original gear set will hold a bit better without flex? Last time on the dyno it made around 670nm at the hubs. Now it have bigger turbo and better intake but have not been on a dyno yet. The car is being used from family trips to drag race events. So the shifts can be a little violent. It is grinding if I shift to fast so was thinking I should overhaul it soon.
    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
