Just out of interest, is Redan Motors and American Made Cycles still selling imports?

I lived in Ballarat back in 2000- 2001 and they had a few R33's and R34 GTR's / Silvia's / EVO's for sale.

I know Redan has a GTIr Pulsar but not sure if it's one they traded or imported... as for American Made Cycles I don't think they really sell anything any more, still see the same crap arsed American shit heaps there that have been there for a few years now. I often wonder if it's just a front for other more dodgey activities lol.

Interesting!

Yeah, other people had said similar things in regards to American Made Cycles :laugh:

Also, there are a few car yards on Howitt Street and I remember seeing a R32 GTR there, going back a few years now.

Not sure if it was just the off chance they had one for sale or if it was an actual "import" car sales dealer.

There are very few imports getting around in Ballarat. Ive only been here 4 years but came from Melbourne where just about ll my mates were into datto's, early toyotas and Imports... Bit of a culture shock, it's like stepping back in time hahaha.. Definitely a Commodore town but i know of a few converts too which is good.

yer my brother works in laverton and he picked one up from around the corner from where he works and he came up and dropped it off and took me to bursons so i could grab a gasket. Thanks for the offer tho, its good to know i have skyline owners willing to help :)

Im going to remove my 3" stainless screamer/front pipe and put the stock ones back on cos the wastegate pipe melted through my aircon pipe, i should have put something between them, but i will just end up swapping it for a normal 3" front and dump pipe and get a raplacement aircon hose so i dont have to worry about it happening again lol

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
