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.

    • HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.
    • The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.
    • Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?
    • 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.
