just to let every one know i was at the auto salon in sydney and this car was there.

all it is, is a rs4 with the r33 brakes painted gold, and the 33 motor has been put in.

the car is owned by envy imports here in brookvale on the northern beachs of sydney.

i think they want about 35k for it.

its a nice car

i had a chat to them they said if i was to buy the motor and gearbox they put it in for 5k thats with the new brakes as well.

dont know there web site

look up envyimports.com

never the less its a nice car

Yeah thats the one from envy. They are quite knowledgable when it comes to stageas.

I beleive they sold it 2 weeks ago, and I was there when they were fitting some 19x9 + 10" staggered deep dish rims that were very tasteful, but defenantly require some flaring for the rear.

They will be doing a manual conversion for me in the new year! and its ALOT cheaper than anywhere else.

It is interesting that the car was imported with the front end conversion already done, which means it passed SEVS. Considering the amount of work need to modify the radiator support, supprises me that it would pass the "strict" rules on body mods ie fibreglass guards or previous damage

Unless it was personal import?

      Long time no random post about shit. So I went down this deep deep rabbit hole of battery storage for the home, ended up locking in a 41.9kWh Fox ESS EQ4800 with 9 units stacked. Battery uses Lithium Iron Phosphate, similar to what you find in those deep cycle boat/caravan batteries. And yes, why did I go with a cheapie brand and not like Synergy? simply because I don't plan to stay at this house for more than another 3~5 years.  The entire install, DC coupling (removal of existing invertor, connecting the current 6.6kW array direct to the battery invertor), new 8kW invertor is $6K all up (after all the rebates etc.). Going with this lot: https://www.aussiesolarbatteries.com.au/ It did seem a bit too good to be true, however seems like the Whirlpool community has vetted it and when it comes to this kind of stuff, they seem to be all over it: https://forums.whirlpool.net.au/thread/9pxj8482?p=38   I've requested for the battery to be installed outside, next to my meter board and not inside - rather have it combust and ignite outside lol.

      In Vic it would be a defect regardless of whether or not you cut a hole in the sheetmetal for the return pipe. The rules in Vic are shitful, and are generally interpreted as you can "make 2 mods to the intake system". Putting an FFP and an FMI onto it will almost certainly be seen as some huge number of intake mods. You really need to speak to an engineer before doing this stuff in VIC.

      I’ve read the previous posts so just looking for latest information on how people have dealt with front facing plenum is it a defect etc or didn’t pass roadworthy or was it not noticed? Have a r34 and deciding if I should make a hole on the driver side or not.  I know some people have said blitz return flow but I might get rid of the stock intake down the line for a plenum so I rather set up for that now plus I already have a standard Intercooler. Car is mainly stock  Thanks.

      Actually, if having and keeping the stock ECU is the plan, the correct answer is to put Nistune into the ECU and improve the situation, not just look at it.
