Ahhh.... Makes sensenow ;)

I live in Cottesloe, saw car in Mossie park... (I'm your neighbourhood RAC battery dude :-)

I work at MSC on McCabe St which is next to that place. Have seen many TVRs there but never a Tuscan. And yeah Lancia Stratos as well as many other uncommon cars. Lots of kit cars. And boats like you said.

Also saw Miles' car there ages ago jacked up getting suspension upgrade :)

These are available in Australia !

There as common as WRX's in the UK and only about GBP40K over there.

Tuscan is definately the cream of the crop for looks from the TRV stables.

Q. How you scam the thing into the country ? They wouldn't let me bring back a S8 Audi :-(

yeah the tuscan is pretty ugly i think, all the rest are ok like the chimaera, they look like normal cars not a space ship :P. but still crazy car, i wouldnt knock one back if i was given one :D they do look nice just not up close.

b005t: we had a green Chimaera and sold it for the tuscan cause it wasn't fast enough, they are still nice though

Kidd: The Tuscan and Chim have never had a problem and i have driven a Cerbera that lives in perth quite a few times also when we had it on loan (yes for more than half an hour) and no major problems as yet

Steve: HA, thats ok, after the lights turn green you wont have enough time to scratch your own ass when after you've been handed the chop. Your right actually your pulsar is much more pleasing to the eye, that bonnet is so sexy...

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
