^^^ 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

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
