Toyota dealer probably won't touch it, parts should be similar or the same. It will be like early model jdm s15 and late aus spec s15's, nissan won't cover the early grey import s15's. More to the point why would you want a Prius?

simple,...put a 2JZ in ther and be the ultimate sleepr car.....

My GF wants it. She found one for 14 K 2000 model. I told her its grey import.

I want a Corolla for myself... petrol prices are going up every month, you guys with Skylines will be spending your week's pay on a single tank soon lol

Na mate with 1 litre of regular unleaded to hit $1.60 within weeks it'll be more like:

"Hey guys I just sold my left kidney for a full tank of Ultimate... this drive to have dinner at my GF's folks better be worth it!"

what a waste of a perfectly good run about.....I could've put it to much better use

too right!! i would have welded steel rods in place of the shocks and driven at top speed over speed humps and small jumps etc, then i would have smoked it up till the tyres blew, and kept going till the rims broke off, then i would have put a brick on the accelerator and dropped the oil from the engine till it seized, then i probly would have shot it to bits....... then burnt it.....

it would have been a nice full day of fun!

Seen the price of diesel lately? :down:

A VW Polo TDi uses about half a litre more fuel per 100km than a Prius (comparing officially quoted Combined Cycle figures). While it does cost around $5K more used:

* The Polo is 6 years newer, and still has a warranty

* The Polo doesn't have to use ultra-low grip tyres, so its safer

* The Polo is less complex and can be serviced / repaired by VW Australia

* Worn-out batteries isn't a bank breaker

Total Cost of Ownership, I don't know if a Prius is that much cheaper than buying a small diesel hatch.

Environmentally, as a total package (not just emissions), its not head and shoulders better either.

    • 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       
    • I don't get in here much anymore but I can help you with this.   The hole is a vent (air relief) for the brake proportioning valve, which is built into the master cylinder.    The bad news is that if brake fluid is leaking from that hole then it's getting past the proportioning valve seals.   The really bad news is that no spare parts are available for the proportioning valve either from Nissan or after market.     It's a bit of a PITA getting the proportioning valve out of the master cylinder body anyway but, fortunately, leaks from that area are rare in my experience. BTW, if those are copper (as such) brake lines you should get rid of them.    Bundy (steel) tube is a far better choice (and legal  in Australia - if that's where you are).
    • EMU Classic. For what I need it to do I see no reason to upgrade. Link and Haltech would both cost an extra chunk of money for a lot of unutilized features
