Hi peeps!!!

This place needs more posts! :)

Hey Shaun, did your brother get married last weekend?

Yes, he did chops it was agreat day and i will post some pics soon of me and him and the 34. :PBJ:

I was the best man and so i took him to the ceremony in the 34 which was just around the corner from our house.

Ok, worked out who you are.

Missed the whole car change thing from the GTS4.

I'm ex KMIF if you don't remember who I am.

Yep, had the R34 since november last year and sold the 32 gts-4 the december before to sky30.

the gts-4 is now pushing out over 350awkw i think.

I remember the old days when we used to work at kmart together. ;)

397rwkw and soon fingers crossed 410-420rwkw ;)

It must be an absolute monster.

Chops.... Andrew(sky30) had it making 380rwkw for some time on the stock 300,000km+ Rb30 bottom end. 7k rev limiter due to stock rods at the time. I don't believe it ever blew just upgraded. :sick:

Regency will love you long time.

why is it that when i drive my car i get tooted and screamed out at? out and bout for a few hours today, lost count of the times i got stuff screamed to me from a passing car. Yes it was from guys.. but seriously.. plenty of chicks own skylines now :S Have they not seen a chick in an import before?

Funny, some guy was yelling something so I come back with some smart ass comment and he took off. moron :)

Yeah RB30 requires emissions testing.

Depends if they can tell there's a 3ltr block under there with all the crap hanging everywhere and bottom engine bay cover.

Its quite difficult to pick.

Whats the go with engineering the emissions in Adelaide rb25/30,custom plenum and power fc. Im about to put 10 Grand in to my r33 motor this year but dont wana go rb25/30 if i cant engeineer anythink.

Iv also been thinking of putting the 10grand into my rb25det(internals only) but still would need to engineer greddy plenum and power fc. Iv also herd that you can have a larger turbo but need to stay in the Emissions range. Iv talk to a few ppl about what im looking at doing but stilll lost so i rang up regency but they said do the work and come down and show us but dont wana wast the money to be told i cant engineer it.

Calling regency/vehicle standards I have learnt is a complete waste of time. They are not interested in giving advice.

Your best bet is to contact Doug Potts? (I think it is, will need to double check) of whom can sort out the engineering and emissions testing.

I haven't called doug myself but I believe emissions testing is 2.5k per pop. So if the tuner doesn't do it right the first time your up for another 2.5k to pass the second time; and hope to all buggery it passes otherwise on it goes another 2.5k.

If your going to have it modified legally I would go the rb30 route as the rb25 has nothing on the rb30 when they are both modified *forged internals* and legal.

Do you have the number for Doug Potts iv herd a few guys rave on about him so il give him a call. Iv done a lot of research on the rb25/30 and it does shit over the rb25det just dont wana go all out on a engine that i cant have in the car also a bit worried about spending the money on engineer reports for plenum and power fc and being told i cant have.

    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number. 
    • Hey guys, looking for these side skirts if anyone can help me out. 
    • Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.
    • Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea.  I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
