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 :-(

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...

I will race you in the GTiR if you like. How about at the plex then at any WA race track you like.The GTiR is Butt ugly to but a bloody good weapon, but is now a very differant car to last time i drove it.Different taste in cars is a good thing.

      Might import a stagea

      By iamhe77 · Posted

      Not sure the US can import anything other than the C34 Stagea's, but if you can and you need to to tow, DO NOT under any circumstances get an M35 Stagea. If it is just as a family car and your country/state allows it, absolutely and definitely get an M35 (3.5L if possible as it is effectively a 350Z) over a C34.

      Thanks for that, I'll check it all out. I can always do the brakes last anyway if its a problem.  The 16's are super cool, if they do fit I'll cruise around with them for a bit.

      Well, that's kinda the point. The calipers might interfere with the inside of the barrels 16" rims are only about 14" inside the barrels, which is ~350mm, and 334mm rotors only leave about 8mm outboard for the caliper before you get to 350, And.... that;s not gunna be enough. If the rims have a larger ID than that, you might sneak it in. I'd be putting a measuring stick inside the wheel and eyeballing the extra required for the caliper outboard of the rotor before committing to bolting it all on.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      OK, so again it has been a bit of a break but it was around researching what had been done since I didn't have access to Neil's records and not everything is obvious without pulling stuff apart. Happily the guy who assembled the engine had kept reasonable records, so we now know the final spec is: Bottom end: Standard block and crank Ross 86.5mm forgies, 9:1 compression Spool forged rods Standard main bolts Oil pump Spool billet gears in standard housing Aeroflow extended and baffled sump Head Freshly rebuilt standard head with new 80lb valve springs Mild porting/port match Head oil feed restrictor VCT disabled Tighe 805C reground cams (255 duration, 8.93 lift)  Adjustable cam gears on inlet/exhaust Standard head bolts, gasket not confirmed but assumed MLS External 555cc Nismo injectors Z32 AFM Bosch 023 Intank fuel pump Garret 2871 (factory housings and manifold) Hypertune FFP plenum with standard throttle   Time to book in a trip to Unigroup
