It's less risky when you use a broker who knows what they are doing and have the right contacts in Japan. Keep in mind though that things can still happen that are out of their control as well.

I'd buy another car through Kristian (Iron Chef Imports) without hesitation, although I'm trying to cut down on the whole buying of cars thing :3some: (18 in 6 years is a bit excessive).

its deff something you wanna spend some time reasearching unlike my stupid bro that tried importing a car to have it sit on the docks. we tried getting it in as as a race car only and they still shut it down based on -does not meet aus safty standards

hey Penny, a guy i work with (he is on here but dont think he posts much) is looking to get a turbo conversion done to his 34 GT. he has a workshop lined up, and all the info. i can get him to get in touch wit u if ur keen?

"I just bought a KKR turbo, installed it and now I hear a whining sound when it comes on boost..."

"I have a KKR turbo and when I hit boost, there's a cloud of white smoke behind me?"

"I just bought a KKR turbo. Then my wife left me. Then I heard a metal clanging sound when it hit boost?"

And the topics just roll on...

i donno, there's alot of good and bad in all those posts.

to be quite honest, when i drive the silvia, she gets one HELL of a beating. and that turbo has gone through hell but its kicking pretty strong still.

i guess i cant give a full comment about the kkr as mine's a cross bred with garret and the wategate has been sorted out already but im pretty happy with my 1.8ltr turbo that can stomp a 6ltr v8 :3some:

too much in this thread to pick apart everything specially on 64k and now I've had too choose the PDA skin to try and optimise load times

someone made mention of sensible's im guessing you mean the one on OG rd, that's where i bought my car and had no drama's had snapped turbo manifold studs got them replaced had worn rear brakes got them replaced bought the car without driving it only hearing the engine NOT because they wouldn't let me drive it but i didnt want to fall in love with the car and have finance fall through

Ben - this should hit that itchy spot

SpaghettiSpoon467Three.jpg:3some:

    • Haha no I'll do that one tomorrow. I've been ignoring it. It's the 5.0 one I'm taking about. (There is a little X to hide the 4.7 one if you want)
    • So I'm going to have to keep ignoring the 4.7 update, or whatever version it is? Poop. I was hoping you'd put me out of my misery.
    • We have a huge update coming in the next few months, version 5 of Invision will be released. I'm holding off any changes until after this change as I'm not sure what features will be removed or introduced.
    • Yeah, plenty of air flow, there is a dedicated path that feeds the air in to the OEM intake tube behind the bumper As for a "tangible effect", maybe, but getting the pod/intake air out of the hot engine bay is worth it psychologically to me, even if it gives no performance difference, so the tangible effect in my Lizard brain saysss yessss  In the end, to me a tangible effect isn't always about performance, sometimes it a sound or a look, or even a...... feeling  Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga Ooga-Chaka Ooga-Ooga
    • yeah first and reverse is where you will find clutch release issues (whether hydraulic or mechanical) because the difference in revs required is the highest there; particularly changing down from 2nd to 1st when still moving. To be clearer though, it is possible that the clutch release bearing is the wrong height. This is less likely than a hydraulic issue but it is not unheard of when you are mixing and matching
