Hi,

Just thought I'd do as it asks and introduce myself. I live on the Gold Coast and have done for the last 11 years. Got my first import in 1998

, S13 K series and ended up putting an RB20DET into it a few years later. Did join here many years ago but lost my login.

Peace,

James

It's a bit sad, Just sold my 1990 r31 and the Silvia was sold like 4 + years ago ;) Now I drive a 1997 Toyota Hiace Super Custom turbo diesel:) Will get back into an r34 or S15 soon though I hope. Gotta love all the dickheads that wrecked it for everyone (new laws etc,.). Sometimes I wonder how so many Australians found out about cool imports, maybe many found out through Play Station's GT1 and 2 and crap like fast and the furious.

      Nah, turn the boost up, break the gearbox, and enjoy leaving it parked for a few years while you save for a better box...

      I see those two Stageas have the "punched 40mm hole" deregistered Japanese number plates 👍 Nice kouki group shot with the different colours too.

      Yeah I made that post way too early, sorry I must have assumed it was bad because it's a 20+ year old thrashed shitbox lol. It was just a loose exhaust bolt.

      Like others have said, drop the power to give your drivetrain a % of reliability until you can up the drivetrain reliability  It isn't rocket science, build power to the weakest link with a % of safety Whilst upping the the reliability of the drive train is costly, there's no point in having the engine make big power if it keeps eating the drivetrain....ask me how I know, I had the tow truck on speed dial for a few years, and I spent huge amounts of money fixing issues and breakages that really would have been cheaper in the long run if I did it right the first time Me, I like a nice sized fudge factor, that keeps me off the tow truck
