yeah my chrome fail comment was a little broad

As long as its not a genuine m3, has altezza tail lights but no engine mods and 3 tv's per vehicle occupant, those rims are acceptable..

their those CCW wheels yeah? they look damn good and are pretty cheap too

Last time I priced up a set of CCW classics (when I still have the Celly), I was looking at a little over $6k shipped...

really? on theyre site it says theyre $2500 a set. how much was the shipping?

edit: even if you went the powder coat and arp stud route youd only be adding around $850

Shipping was was an astronomical amount. Somewhere around the $1500 mark. 22lbs a wheel, in customs sizes and specs with upgraded hardware. Though it 'starting at $2500' 3 years ago when I was looking at them.

I am getting so f**king excited about this car and everything it represents. Starting weight of 1180kg for the base model, and 1240kg for the range topper, with the same power as the last locally delivered S15, and all with fuel economy good enough to make it suitable for daily duties... Yeah, I'm pretty keen.

Has been confirmed by Toyota for sale in Australia, and Subaru won't be far behind when they figure out how they're going to market it without their symmetrical all wheel drive safe tag, Tom's and TRD are already looking at warmed up versions, Toyota themselves want owners to modify and personalise theirs. So refreshing.

Non turbo 2.0 litre boxer direct engine with 147kw, STi BRZ may be turbo, 6 speed manual, or 6 speed paddle shifted auto, LSD, rear wheel drive, and all in a 1200kg package.

As for price, Toyota is aiming for the low $30k range.

Yeah according to Speedhunters, they have already released info to the Nippon Aftermarket Committee so manufacturers and tuners can start production of aftermarket parts! New car owners will have the option to change out the suspension and add aero mods on day 1 of ownership!

I am getting so f**king excited about this car and everything it represents.

THIS!!! What a revolution. Best thing a car company has done in a long time.

Cant believe Nissan tried their darndest to exclude the GTR from the aftermarket scene, why not encourage personalisation and stimulate the aftermarket economy!

In short, the car gives me a hard on. Looks wise, not so much, but the potential.... huge.

I'm a big fan of the way they look.

That second photo I posted shows a couple more or less confirmed options for when it goes on sale in North America/Europe, fixed back seats, harnesses, and TRD gauges.

It's something I would never have expected from Toyota, openly embracing the aftermarket. I imagine the options list will be pretty immense by the time it hits dealer floors here.

    • Will have a look at that. I cant see any leaks 
    • Put another overflow bottle (ie, a 1.25 coke bottle or similar) under the overflow hose and see if it is being pushed out there or if it is disappearing into the engine.
    • Staring on a stand is no issue. You just have to wire everything up, give it fuel and cross your fingers that the stand is robust enough. Arranging the inlet plumbing is often the hardest part, without any surrounding structure to hand some of it from. No need for coolant if you only want to run it for <1 minute. As to the gearbox - I think the little Aisin box is a bit stronger than the other small Nissan boxes that went behind SRs, but I wouldn't be too keen to test its limits with the torque of a boosted 25. I don't know if you can retain the box and the tailshaft. The box won't connect to the RB without an adapter of some sort, which is either a plate that will push the engine forward (which is not good for fitting it into the bay's available space) or push the box back, which messes with the box position and tailshaft length - OR - cut and shut work on the bellhousing, which is a long way from "least modification". I'd be buying a new 370Z 6 speed or similar, doing what has to be done to that to make it fit RB (ie, cut and shut bellhousing) and the requisite tailshaft custom/mods.
    • Hi Everyone I am from West Pennant Hills in NSW. Been too busy until recently to attend to my RB25DET Series 2 engine until recently. I am planning to stick it into the S15 shell at this stage, unless a nice SR20DET turns up... For now, i am going to try and get the RB25 running and working well then decide what gearbox to use. My preference is to retain the SR20DET  6 speed gearbox and tail shaft to retain as much and least modifications as i can avoid. I am an old guy and won't be doing any heavy drifting so i don't need a bullet proof gearbox Does anyone have experience with starting the RB on a stand? I got everything setup as much as I can with the info i can find... endless searching and videos on Youtube I would be great to get some pointers Cheers Songo
    • Hey all, Recently have had my s1 r33 gtr serviced and noticed my coolant reservoir was topped up to the max line. Took the car out for 1 yesterday and noticed today the reservoir is completely empty.  Any ideas? Radiator is full
