that looks killer man. Who'd you go through for the importing?

I've imported it myself, was introduced to an Adelaide bloke, who works for a dealer over there, while he was back here for Christmas and went from there. Hes actually part owner of Kansai Automotive, and his family is heavily involved with the car scene here in Adealide. Not sure if i should give out his contact details as hes basically in direct competition to SAU sponsors, but if anyone wants help importing a car by themselfs let me know and i should be able to guide you along nicely =D

and thanks everyone else, hopefuly i'll be able to go for my first cruise and meet lots more of you on the 28th/29 of this month =)

doh, always thought it was safer to tune on a low-30deg day.

Not sure if Shaun shares the same view. Its only an observation I've made through my own multiple tunes, friends cars and how mine reacted on the stock ecu when pushing 1bar. Consistently the same. Cold Tune FTW, hot day tune FTL.

BF2.. I haven't been on much as the computer as crapped it. :spank:

Spending too much on the car as of late so the computer can hold off. :3some:

Thats HAWT!!! Fishpaste :3some:

How long did it take to come over??

I might be looking at importing one myself, as cant really find anything I like here already :spank:

It was purchased late in January (but had already been passed in at auction once), so from when the car was first found to when it arrived was less than 3 months, and it'll be just over 3 months when its on the road =)

if your looking for someone to help you find one, let me know and i'll get you his contact details.. in the middle of writing up a big "how to import guide" ATM so that may also help you out =)

does importing a rally/race only car cost less or does it only cost less because you dont have to comply it

like im thinking a full drift spec ceffy

yeah madaz, if you take a look at the import101.com import calculator (you have to sign up to get access to it) you can see that all the SEVS and rego and other related costs to the whole getting it on the road bit are $0. so that is where you get the savings from, but from memory you do have to have a CAMS licence of some paticular type to import under race and rally.

      RB20DE NEO smallbox clutch.

      By Kapr · Posted

      Hi...so a "development" here aswell The swap is "done" and car went "test drive" BUT it seems the clutch(maybe gearbox?) is a little bit sad? I bought this clutch kit https://justjap.com/products/xtreme-heavy-duty-organic-clutch-flywheel-kit-nissan-skyline-r31-r32-r33-push-type "Problem" is that the first gear is hard to put into and it seems that the clutch is not disengaged. It was not the problem with the old clutch...(or like sometime the first gear would not get as easy specialy when the fluid was cold) So? Can it be like...bad "install" or is the clutch wrong ((it should not have been) i done research to get the right one) Or is this "normal" with new clutch and needs to be break in?

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By Gantai · Posted

      Hey everyone, Wanted to pick some brains about this issue I'm having with rebuilding my 33 rack (PN is 49001-19U05). All of the tutorials/videos I've seen online are either R34 or S Chassis racks which seem to be pretty straightforward to disassemble but this process doesnt carry over to my rack. Few of the key differences that I've noted The pinion shaft on the other racks bolt on with 3 torx bolts: Whereas my rack bolts on with 2 allen head bolts: These changes are pretty inconsequential but the main difference is how you pull the actual rack out of the housing. The other skyline/s chassis racks can be taken out by tapping the rack out of the body with a socket and it just slides right out. I'm unable to do that with my rack because there's a hard stop at the end that doesn't let the seal/shaft be tapped out. Can also see a difference in the other end of the rack where mine has a notch that looks like you're able to use a big wrench to unthread 2 halves of the rack whereas the other racks are just kinda set in with a punch. My rack: Other racks: TLDR; Wanted to know if anyone has rebuilt this specific model of steering rack for the R33 and if there were any steps to getting it done easier or if I should just give this to a professional to get done. Sorry if this post is a bit messy, first one I've done.

      I would just put EBC back on the "I would not use their stuff" pile and move on.
