Thanks guys!

I have pics but only from the importer, id rather post my own once i get her, so dont worry i will ASAP!

Already ordered one of those rear strut brace from Jin Man, and trying to figure out what wheels im getting too.

Have to go see my mechanic and start talking about the money im going to have to spend on her....

heh, mine hit the docks about 2 months ago. only just cleared 2 weeks and pick it up from compliance on thursday.. Lets hope customs in Sydney aren't as swamped as Adelaide was :miner:

Well from what i've been told, it should only be 4-5 down at the docks and then straight to compliance, the biggest thing to delay it at the docks is really

the steam cleaning....i've got a mate who imports cars and he has two cars of his own on the same ship as mine and is expecting receivership of those

early next week....time will tell.

  • 4 weeks later...

okay well after a little bit of stuffing around, i finally got her towed home to my place last night, and my

god, what a beautiful car! such a nice ride and everything is fantastic. Though the car could do with a bit

of a buff and polish. But i am stoked can't wait to have rego done, a mate is doing it for me so i dont have

to deal with that "random" check n wait a month n stuff. Will post pics once i get a bit of time. Oh and for

anyone on here who is a bit switched on with electrics n things, wonder if they can help me out here?

I put a new battery in, as the one the car came with was totally dead. Now the stereo n headlights and

everything else works great, EXCEPT the car wont start. I can clutch start it no worries, but cant start with

the key. When i turn the key there is nothing, no noise or anything, i think my mate said not even any clicking

or noise from the solenoid for the starter motor? any ideas?

yeah Ian i might make an appearance, though wont be jumping on the dyno as she is basically stock standard.

But would be a good chance to see a few other nice cars n to show off my new pride and joy :(

might also have to organize a photo shoot with you once ive done what i need to do to her hehe

yeh kinda tossing up what to do with her....ive had the speed side of things with my last car,

and to be honest to get good times out of a car like this is gonna cost a bit....so im thinkin

i might airbag the thing n go down that path....

Chuck it on the rollers anyways for a baseline read out, it'll also show you what the AFR's and boost is doing. :blink:

    • Legend. I ended up finding the facebook account of the owner of the first car i sent but sadly he deactivated the account. I think you’re right in saying it’s some sort of well done custom job. Really appreciate your help anyways.
    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm.
