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.

      just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.

      My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.

      To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
