WazR32GTSt and inark.. yes i know - but well if i want cheap then thats what i have to deal with. Its all sacrifices - but one day it will lead to what I really want. Either way, if i'm saving money then i'm not going to get anything too original and don't actually care.. i care about performance first :P I probably wouldn't be modding it heavily, but if i chose to I could do so at my own pace at least.

Yer the 94 model has a few updates.. the earlier ones have the CA18DET in them.

I've considered the 89 thing.. but to be honest, I'd rather import a stock as a rock 91/92 model or so R32 or 180 or ?? - I think its actually safer. Least I know its less likely to have been just used for sillyness over in Japan and with the current rules it has to be stock anyhow. Shall have to think about that too.

Funky: I saw a few GTS4's and 32's - but i wasn't seeing too many 89 models?? They seem to be fairly rare?? Under $10k landed sounded pretty good.. but if i had to budget a respray and engine rebuild those costs could blow out a bit further than I'd want.

homeowners grant is currently $7k and you have to live in the house, yep - but thats my plan.. then i can rent it out bit later if i want to move.

Nah Matt, I am talking 5k for new home owners and 3k for brand new house :) there is no 7k grant in Vic anymore...

ps. I also know about R.E.

edit, there is no $7k anymore...My brother only got $5k last month

/end off topic

out of respect for this thread I deleted other off topic posts of mine :P

i would rather have something modified.... ur a tool if u think that nothing silly has been done in it because its not midified... i woudl rather have something with aftermarket parts which are designed for more punishment than the stock parts.

HUDs are a waste of time... farkn only useful at night... I hardly ever used my HUD, altho at one point I was tempted to replace it with an LCD panel so I could watch TV while driving...

/me notes down this idea :D

i prefer to do all my driving at night actually.. Yes, sounds like a bit of a gimick but you know :)

They're trying to bring them back in some of the new cars coming out...one day in the distant future Holden will stick one in one of their cars and everybody will go "oooo - how advanced"

    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
