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.

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
