very nice. how much would that be shy_s6?

and how much landed and complied?

plus would it be easy to get that one complied?

starting price is 10K but being a auction its hard to tell sale price seen other clean cars with awsome mods go for anywhere from 12-16K but this has serious mod with full tuned engine, compliance depends on where u go n what u can find, i think ALOt of ppl would be suprised if they knew how much cars sell for in japan. and looking in2 importing cars i can see why there were so many import yards. for eg. seen a rx7 Rb (base model) in a car yard here 99 model (version 5) with 38K km's selling for 39K sounds ok yeh? looking on2 i have found a mint condition 01 (version 6 last of the rx7's) with 32K km's with a price tag of 16grand u do the math theres no way it would cost 23K to get a car here complied so u can see just how much card yards can make! also found a nice 4 door r32 rb25 conversion kit wheels n all the basic drift mods for 3K (obviously by the time u get it here on road it works out the same as a car here but ya get my point!

in saying that hopefully in a few months when i sort this house i can bring in a nice black manual v35 put a subtle kit on and some 19x9 n 19x10 shadow chrome work vs-kf rims with around the +25 offsets should sit nice :P

Nice looking car - I saw it in the shop Wednesday.

I'd love to know how it dirves, are they gutless and do they handel.

wouldn't they be similar power to the 350z and i believe they have over 200kw ATW

lol, thats nuts that your old man will be on a cruise with you, niiiice

very schmick car, I like it.

I'll give it 9 Tangles thumbs up.

don't get tangled in all those thumbs :D

looks awesome - your Dad must be stoked!

I disagree with all the fuss about wheel sizes and offset - what is the big deal - they look good imho

+1 agreed looks sxc as is

wheels make the car in this case they look very small. but its personal opinion i prefer a tuff jap stance over the hidin in the gaurds aus style :s

sorry but the vq35 is only good for about 150-160 at the wheels :)

and i much prefer 350z over teh vq35 skylines....

but its a nice looking car and i doubt he will get any cop trouble (unless doing something stupid) which is a bonus.

plus i like fitment like this

dunno bud just remember seeing the kit on a hpi vid :D what power u making n what cost? wats with the qld plates?

im making 280rwkw on 7psi

turbo kit.... quite pricy... 20k~

as for the qld plates....

do you think a twin turbo 350 would pass regency... i dont.. so i got a place in qld where the kit was installed much easier for rego.

Cain I'm like 99.9% sure I saw you parked out the front of a building this morning around 8AM on Grand Junction Rd, was that you?

    • I'm looking for some real world experiences/feed back from anyone who has personally ran a EFR7670 with a 1.05 exhaust housing or a .83 I'm leaning towards the .83 because its a street car used mostly for spirited driving in the canyons roads. I"m not looking for big numbers on paper. I want a responsive powerband that will be very linear to 8000 rpm. I dont mind if power remains somewhat flat but dont want power to drop off on top. The turbo I've purchased is a 1.05, although the mounting flange T3 vs T4 and internal vs external waste gates are different on both housings, I not concern about swapping parts or making fabrication mods to get what I want. Based on some of the research I've done with chat gpt, the 1.05 housing seems to be the way to go with slightly more lag and future proofing for more mods but recommends .83 for best response/street car setup. AI doesn't have the same emotions as real people driving a GTR so I think you guys will be able to give me better feed back 😀   
    • Surely somebody has one in VIC. Have you asked at any shops?  Is this the yearly inspection or did you get a canary?
    • This is where I share pain with you, @Duncan. The move to change so many cooling system pieces to plastic is a killer! Plastic end tanks and a few plastic hose flanges on my car's fail after so little time.  Curious about the need for a bigger rad, is that just for long sessions in the summer or because the car generally needs more cooling?
    • So, that is it! It is a pretty expensive process with the ATF costing 50-100 per 5 litres, and a mechanic will probably charge plenty because they don't want to do it. Still, considering how dirty my fluid was at 120,000klm I think it would be worth doing more like every 80,000 to keep the trans happy, they are very expensive to replace. The job is not that hard if you have the specialist tools so you can save a bit of money and do it yourself!
    • OK, onto filling. So I don't really have any pics, but will describe the process as best I can. The USDM workshop manual also covers it from TM-285 onwards. First, make sure the drain plug (17mm) is snug. Not too tight yet because it is coming off again. Note it does have a copper washer that you could replace or anneal (heat up with a blow torch) to seal nicely. Remove the fill plug, which has an inhex (I think it was 6mm but didn't check). Then, screw in the fill fitting, making sure it has a suitable o-ring (mine came without but I think it is meant to be supplied). It is important that you only screw it in hand tight. I didn't get a good pic of it, but the fill plug leads to a tube about 70mm long inside the transmission. This sets the factory level for fluid in the trans (above the join line for the pan!) and will take about 3l to fill. You then need to connect your fluid pump to the fitting via a hose, and pump in whatever amount of fluid you removed (maybe 3 litres, in my case 7 litres). If you put in more than 3l, it will spill out when you remove the fitting, so do quickly and with a drain pan underneath. Once you have pumped in the required amount of clean ATF, you start the engine and run it for 3 minutes to let the fluid circulate. Don't run it longer and if possible check the fluid temp is under 40oC (Ecutek shows Auto Trans Fluid temp now, or you could use an infrared temp gun on the bottom of the pan). The manual stresses the bit about fluid temperature because it expands when hot an might result in an underfil. So from here, the factory manual says to do the "spill and fill" again, and I did. That is, put an oil pan under the drain plug and undo it with a 17mm spanner, then watch your expensive fluid fall back out again, you should get about 3 litres.  Then, put the drain plug back in, pump 3 litres back in through the fill plug with the fitting and pump, disconnect the fill fitting and replace the fill plug, start the car and run for another 3 minutes (making sure the temp is still under 40oC). The manual then asks for a 3rd "spill and fill" just like above. I also did that and so had put 13l in by now.  This time they want you to keep the engine running and run the transmission through R and D (I hope the wheels are still off the ground!) for a while, and allow the trans temp to get to 40oC, then engine off. Finally, back under the car and undo the fill plug to let the overfill drain out; it will stop running when fluid is at the top of the levelling tube. According to the factory, that is job done! Post that, I reconnected the fill fitting and pumped in an extra 0.5l. AMS says 1.5l overfill is safe, but I started with less to see how it goes, I will add another 1.0 litres later if I'm still not happy with the hot shifts.
