^^^ agreed.

I'm wanting to get out of the import scene... even though there are some awesome people in it, a majority now are douche bags or bogans..

In saying there are bogans, i am looking for possibly a VY or VZ SS ute haha.. or an integra type S.

Doesn't want to be a bogan.

Wants a commodore....

yeah useless post really.

nothing has changed at all, there are the people that appreciate their cars and mod them tastefully and the ones that drive them, bling them up etc. its just two tastes, usually a younger person who 'gets their first skyline' stereotyping i know, but no more than what has been done.

its how it is, its how it will always be.

what has changed is the number of quality imports seen on the roads (in the south anyway)

used to be some nice supra's, atleast 5 i can think of, 4 of them went to the mainland and one i'm not sure. used to see some really nice GTR's, i know some were stolen, some sold to interstate and some converted to motorsports only cars.

used to see some nice FD's, "Apexi" etc, now there is only 1 i see kicking about, belongs to a mate of mine.

just seems alot were sold interstate, crash/stolen etc and weren't replaced with more.

we had atleast two importers in the south, now both shut shop and gone. made a difference having a showroom of around 10 and the other keeping stock of around 6

anyways just a sign of the times, some nice 35's doing to rounds =)

on the flip side there is plenty of good datsuns doing to rounds in the motorsport (mainly circuit) scene.

Brad's monster 32, rod willit's 32, Jamie lonergan's 32, John brigg's 32, yogi burghart's 33, Leigh Wooly's 33 then Pete Nunn's old car not sure who bought that.

Nobes is building a Improved production 350z, plus the 370 that is being built =)

Burgz is building his car atm, should be pretty trick.

also not sure what is going on with PJ's 34gtr, no doubt that will be floating about before too much longer

no doubt there is a few i have missed

things only seem to be growing on the circuit scene anyway which is great =D

Can't really give an answer to the whole story but my stagea is taking a holiday in qld atm

Should be up and running in a neat-ish looking r31 soon tho

have to agree tho, i used to see a few more imports around but now i only see the bad examples driven by the arabs at uni (auto supra, loud as hell red z31, shitty silver r33)

i've seen this driving past my house a few times tho

looks really well done, sounds pretty good too

also just spotted that red 34 in the photo too

yeah i think i saw that one and a white 34 driving together on brisbane street

also the commo was at powercruise, is pretty tough, met him at the cup too...been seeing it more on the road lately

    • LOL, all of the CAI like Craig I just need to put a hole saw through my bumper Done and dusted, the car runs, which is nice, I'll take it for a spin when the weather clears up Just need to put the bumper back on for good
    • Brooooo Please send ABS control unit schematic Please! R33 gts25t ABS (Its two plug ecu, black and white) wire colors possible? [email protected]
    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
