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

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
