Get the GT-R!

Not likely, Pete. Its pretty much down to an evo wagon now. Ive seen some nice examples on the net in the last couple of days for under 28k. That thing should sell damn quick once its in Oz and i know without doubt that i wont lose a penny on it.

Im not going to spend 50k on a mint GTR only lose 20k when it gets there.

Evo wagon...Probably the safest choice... not the car that i wanted the most but, meh, im not complaining. :D

FD RX7...

all I can say is f**king Jetstar, what a pack of f**king gay f**kf**ks. But FINALLY I am back in this stupid country.

You should have known that from the start Lorry. What did they do to you?

Oh and FD, nope, not an option but that car is horn.

No it hasnt.

Ive come to a decision. Its going to be an evo wagon.

Im on the hunt and looking at a few different examples. There are quite a few on the market at the moment oddly enough even though they only made 2500 of them, 400 of those are MR models so, that will narrow things down quite nicely.

Golden week in Japan is coming up so im aiming for an April purchase. Ill have 10 days off to get used to driving it.

Im so stoked.

Yeah, Omar...cereal has been pretty negative in the past. He seemed to be speaking for all of us which i didnt like..so...

anyways, yeah im pretty happy and confident with the choice ive made.

Ill post some pics of the car once ive chosen it.

Thanks to those who helped with the decision.

you'll want to get in quick - unless you are lucky to buy in the same ken, as the paperwork can take a while

I signed the contract on this today:

Haha, looks like we'll both be bringing wagons back. :D

Yes, im looking for a car in Tokyo and thats where most of them are so thats a good thing.

I dont think its ugly. Unless you were referring to the evo? :D

Point is and i know someone mentioned it before, is that these two wagons are among the rarest cars in Australia and as such they are a sure bet.

No doubt about it and ill take 'em ugly warts and all. :down:

Yeah, shame it's four hours away!

It's not about liking the car (that's dangerous! I can vouch for that from experience), it's about the $. That said, I've had a JDM forester before and absolutely loved it - they are sensational. Looking forward to seeing how the 2.5L goes.

I have to have four doors, and I wanted an evo, but the only ones making $ are evo 8MR and above, and I couldn't quite justify pushing the budget that far.

    • Before all the EFR fan boys come in, have a look at: https://www.garrettmotion.com/racing-and-performance/performance-catalog/turbo/g-series-ii-g30-825-58mm/ It also comes in a T4 1.06 divided housing. I would dare say if you want response & also decent power, this thing would chop.   AND apologies, just re-read your post, you've already bought the turbo... whatever you do, make sure you stick with divided housing and proper twin scroll manifold.
    • People have got to stop doing that. ShatGPT is not a search engine. It is a hallucination factory.   I also would recommend the 1.05. The .83 will "work" for you , in that it will be more responsive, but I think you'll find that it won't be anywhere near as good running it out to 8000rpm as the big housing will be.
    • Decided for the first time ever I would tow my car TO the track day on the same working theory as bringing tools and spares "if I have it I wont need it, but if I leave it behind i will 100% need it" all setup and ready to go out and try these A050 for the first time First session showed I needed to stiffen up the dampers a touch but still managed a few 1:21's without much effort. things were looking good. Came in a dropped the tyres down  to 26/28 as they had gotten to 35/33C from 22C cold The first lap of session two I managed to drop into 1:20's. Then in the second lap into the second session. Coming into T3 and I suddenly lost brake pedal followed by some huge rear end vibrations and scraping sounds. Got it back into the pits after session ended and found this. in the attached video, all of the wobble is in the hub its self, wheel is mint, and bearing feels tight. lKXLqpd - Imgur.mp4   Deciding it was a bent spindle I tried to find bearing/hub assembly locally but was unsuccessful so it was loaded back onto the trailer i luckily brought it on to drag it back home  
    • 1.05 you’ve gotta let it breath 
    • You have to continuously fill it to avoid dry running. Personally the transmissions I've serviced have never been bad enough to justify doing this because it is definitely a pretty complicated and somewhat risky procedure compared to simply draining the pan, measuring what came out, then refilling with the exact same amount.
