Yeah something like that. Depends mainly on the quality, brands and condition of the parts you buy. If i was you i would look for one with a nice free flowing exhaust, fmic, pod and aftermarket ecu tuned for the stock turbo so you can then just buy the new turbo to suit the power delivery you are after and get some injectors, AFM and a tune. Makes things a bit easier.

That seems the best way to go. What kind of exhaust should I be looking for?? size wise that would be good for running 250rwkw

Then hopefully I can just get a new turbo, injectors afm and a tune. Will keep costs down a fair bit.

Any suggestions on a turbo?? after something that spools up nice and quick. To have that responsive feel.

The way i look at it when thinking of a turbo to buy is, pick the max power you will want to run, then find all the turbos that make that much max power and then find a good comprimise between which one comes on boost earliest and cost etc. Also things like low mount, straight bolt on, internally wastegated turbos will be a lot cheaper. As for exhaust, any dump and front should be big enough, high flow cat or no cat will flow enough, and a 3.5 inch catback i would want for 250kw.

If you want bang for your buck buy an automatic GTST R33. Can easily nab one under $10k. If you really want a manual then for the sedan. You run the risk of getting a lemon of a (manual coupe) GTST for 10k and under, and R32s are simply too old for a non car savvy driver like you or I.

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
