I like the carbon air box Mark, is it a custom job or did you buy it from somewhere.

I must get something similar b4 the hot weather really sets in.......no point having pods with a HAI, I reckon the stock panel filter with a CAI setup would be better in the middle of summer.

Just a quickie

RB25 and RB20 turbo share the same sort of inlet yes? ie if I was to get an alloy intake pipe for an RB20 turbo, would it fit the 25 one no dramas?

Wanna get the shitbox fluttering its tits off for some cheap laughs :)

Time for a bash through the hills then. ;)

ya know im always down for a hillzy with a dale but the bald tires and shot suspension have me sketching... once its all done u'll be the first a call for a decent cruise.. always happy to whatch the big blue flames come out the back of ya beast!

hey pete! the carbon box is a just jap item i bought through the forums... saddest thing is i had to cut alot away for my old plumbing setup now i have heaps of gaps... you have to seal all the underside of the pipes reguardless, to creat the full box that protect from hot air. still in the middle of making bottom section up.

al in all i think the modded stock panel+box is the go. i was looking for one before i got the piping... now i cant do it but if the mines 34 has stock airbox u should too :)

On that note, has anyone had any success with these, it drives me nuts trying to set it up.

They have all the basic sorta principle, all have the same features you need to change, only thing is yours is a bit fancier than the rest and may have some other safety features.

Got quoted about around $780 for the 100,000km service on the stag, but not including a new water pump. Apparently it doesnt need to be done until it starts leaking?! Reckon this is fair or who knows where we can get it done cheaper??

Hey Ryan&sez, By all means choose who you feel comfortable working on your car, however, if your not happy with the price you have to pay for a 3 hour job on your car then i'll do it I've done about 10 or so for forum members and try to keep it fair for both you and I. I use all Genuine parts (your choice obviously) I've seen some water pump's leak at 40,000km and some water pumps that will never leak so it's not a good indication of when to change it. Because if your going to change the water pump you might as well do your timing belt aswell.

Oil (your choice)

Oil Filter (genuine)

Timing Belt (genuine)

Water Pump (genuine pumps are expensive and generic one's are pretty good at half the price)

Coolant (genuine)

Tentioner and pulley (usually dont show any wear at all and are fair expensive to change every 100 thou)

Drive belts ( powersteer, air con, alternator)

PM me for more info on prices etc.

well we just witnessed ben blow the rest of his cat out tonight... a few gunshots and flames...
lol, it was sort of like a fireworks display coming out the back of the wagon :)
haha , that scared the shit out of me , big cloud of black smoke then bang bang bang ;)

MY first words... "you killed it!!" haha

they were some pretty big flames... hehe

it lit up the freeway pretty good!

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
