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!

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
