It's been fun, but today I bid farewell to my pride and joy! So sad to see it leave but it was the right time to sell.

Just thought I'd say thanks to everyone on here, been here around 3 years now and even though I'm a bit of a lurker, I met some good people and got lots of great advice!

What are you planning on getting now, another import?

Yes, still want a performance car, but something newer. Stuff was starting to break on the R.

But I'm undecided - FD RX7, RX8, S15, 350Z, R33 GT-R, R34 Gtt, Evo 7, WRX? haha

if ya know ppl to import you can bring in a version 6 (theres 6 versions of the fd i think its only aus we call them s6/7/8) fd for around 30K (can only bring in fd made after sept 99) also evo8's are similar in price :( i miss my fd nothing better looking for the price on the road!

make sure you get a RS not a RB

i have found a few low K 20-40K km's version 8 (2000-02) models for around 20-24K in japan add the norm of 5-7K of bullshit to get it on the road here!

yeah shame the 350Z and RX8 are so terribly slow. I looked at buying both of these brand new, but they are so slow it is sad, and even mild mods which will increase power by a small margin are ridiculously expensive.

So are you going to get Pomfus to join the forums James? I thought I'd see you guys at dinner tonight?

Go the R34GTT or if you can afford it a V35 with twin turbos .... the latter is what I have been thinking about getting :thumbsup:

Seems an FD is a popular choice! I've never even really seen one up close let alone driven one, I wonder how they would compare to the R. Evo's have the worst interiors I think... Am yet to drive an RX8, sad to hear they are slow!

Petes already registered, don't think he posts that often. I forgot all about the dinner last night.

R34 GTT is a definite option, I didn't know V35s come with twin turbos? That sounds awesome!

    • No requirement for JDM vehicles,  which the 33 is, maroney label only needed in the US market for new cars I believe (Federal law stuff) Google knows all
    • Hopefully you can just unbolt them, thank them for their service, then bin them and not replace them Apparently the sensors like to set them off with only minor impacts at low speed It looks like they do a delete kit for some of these, but, it is costly 
    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
