Hi,

After owning skylines for the last 6 or 7 years, i decided that i need a break from the skyline scence so i went out and look for something small, less power, compact but still fun.

At first, i was looking at all the EG CIVICs, SUZUKI CAPPUCINO..........but it was love at first sight, i saw a white Starlet 1.3lt Turbo intercool for sale by one of the SAU VIC member and i was like that it, i have to have it. Two days later and its mine :thanks: , been doing lots of research to see what i can do to it..............................................................................

.and i came across a GLANZA :D:):worship: , i never knew a newer version of the STARLET EXIST! I so want one but none is available in Australia, why?

Toyota never bring it to our shore so why none of the importer try to bring it in? I reckon it's a hit on the Market for small cars, it will turn all this potential Honda buyer around, it will be a CHICK MAGNET. Anyway, here is a few pics of what they look like, enjoy :).

Im with you West :thanks:

The first car I bought new was an Aussie delivered white starlet and I desperately wanted a Glanza.

I looked at a few at the auctions when i was in Japan and decided if I ever saw one crop up in Australia I would try and snap it up.

Very cool little car

I don't think that they are that new, I was in Europe in 2003, and there was a fair few of them on the streets, kitted up with neons and the whole fast and the furious style which was big at the time, the look and sound pretty awesome for a starlet!

No, they are not that new but we dont' get them here that's the thing.

I was just wondering why IMPORTERS won't try to bring them in when they could have a big potential sale.

because its not on the SEVS list... and the reason for that is possibly that the EP91 was sold locally in a not so cool version. If the chassis (with the same silhouette) is sold locally then it can't be imported under SEVS.

you could possibly buy a locally sold EP91 and do a conversion using the parts etc.

....................or i can do it the way most of EVOIII owners did lol!

i wish the genuine altezza could be imported under sevs- the rs200 version with the 3sge beams !!!

no wai... then I couldn't give all the yuppies shit for driving a corolla with leather seats with a lexus badge :)

I'd personally go the turbo Altezza myself, or even better a JZS161 Aristo with a Supra 3.0L Turbo 2JZ.

contact a guy called Kristian (Iron Chef Imports) off ns (and maybe on here) he deals with helping alot of people get cars in and knows his shit.

basically u apply for SEVS approval like in this thread: http://www.nissansilvia.com/forums/index.p...howtopic=171649

hehe as keen as kristian is on applying for new SEVS cars, i doubt there's any way he nor anyone else can make the EP91 appear on the SEVS list unless it came in a cabriolet form or some freaky shit like that.

just buy a 4EFTE and jam it in a locally sold EP91 starlet n call it a day.

    • So I'll put filler past the repair area a bit to make sure I don't miss anything. Then I'll block it until it's almost level, put the guidecoat, then keep blocking until it's gone. Then it's still wavy.  In regards to hitting the panel, I saw this video might give more context - Skip to 0:47 he knocks it down. But yeah I'm sanding until the guidecoat is gone then checking because otherwise my filler is still well above the bodyline. Unless what you're saying is I should put guidecoat around it early, surrounding the filler then stip once it's gone?
    • I refreshed the OEM injectors with the kit and connected it up. It now ideals okay even with the IACV removed. Driving still has the same cutoff issue like the 550cc injectors so the issue is somewhere else. I bought FPG's Fuel Pump Hanger. I will be installing it next, but it is not as straightforward as I thought it was with my limited wiring knowledge and no instruction on the specific model I purchased (FPG-089). I also got the incorrect billet clamp as I could not find info on the OEM sizing.
    • Stop looking at the garage floor, and turn the radio up a bit louder if there's any strange noises...
    • No. Turbo shuffle and surge/flutter are not the same thing. Specifically, on a GTR, turbo shuffle has a definite meaning. On a GTR, the twin turbos are assumed to be the same thing and to operate the same way, exactly. In reality, they do not. Their exhaust sides are fed and exhaust a little differently, to each other. Their inlet sides are fed and exhausted a little differently, to each other. Consequently, when they are "working" they are often at slightly different points on the compressor map compared to each other. What this means, particularly when coming on boost, is that one of them will spool up and start producing extra flow compared to the other, which will put back pressure on that other compressor, which will push the operating point on that other compressor up (vertically). This will generally result in it bumping up against the surge line on the map, but even if it doesn't, it upsets the compressor and you get this surging shuffle back and forth between them That is "turbo shuffle" on a GTR. It is related to other flutter effects heard on other turbo systems, but it is a particular feature of the somewhat crappy outlet piping arrangement on RB26s. There are plenty of mods that have been attempted with varying levels of success. People have ground out and/or welded more material into the twin turbo pipe to try to prevent it. Extending the divider inside it works, removing material doesn't. There are aftermarket replacement twin turbo pipes available, and these exist pretty mush purely because of this shuffle problem.
    • You can temporarily* use lock collars to keep it in place until you can do the bushes, back the nuts off, slide them in, snug back up. *temporarily is often for ever
