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.

    • Sounds like you've got an interesting adventure ahead here with local support if you have trouble! My guess is that, unboosted, you will be OK with a small upgrade like -9. What will happen is that once the stock ECU sees more airflow than it expects it will add a heap of fuel and pull a heap of timing to be safe because it can't understand how it could get that much air without there being an issue. You will see clouds of black smoke and it won't pull hard through the midrange and top end. So, overall it will be a bit frustrating but should be OK. If you are still nervous set the base timing back 2o through the CAS, but it will be even more sluggish everywhere. As said above through...this is not my guarantee your engine won't be blown into a million pieces, leaving you looking for very hard to find parts A better idea is get a computer with logging ASAP, wire in a wide band O2 sensor and a use remote tuner. I've done multiple cars this way and while it is not as good as a specific tune on a dyno they can get it 90% right. I'd suggest if you can afford an R33 GTR these days you can afford an ECU and tune. And if you can't afford that you sure won't be able to afford the rebuild if it goes bad in the meantime,.  
    • Yeah it would be nice if someone took the time to put that sort of information together, but there are a lot of variations in looms. I think you are making this way hard for yourself if you just want to get it running....sourcing an SR20 with the right wiring will be a billion times easier than matching the RB loom to an S15 chassis. If you do end up going this way, you just need to trace every wire in the loom with a multimeter, 95% of them will go to a location you can confirm at the ECU.....and then post it up for the next person who needs it  
    • Just top it up with water, and keep a general idea of how much you added. It is normal for water to be pushed into and pulled out of the reservoir through the cap, and it should not be more than half full or it will be likely to overflow when hot. Any decent mechanic can do a pressure test of the cooling system to confirm if you have a leak. Keep in mind if it is only leaking a little and when hot it may well evaporate before you see it hit the ground
    • I'd ask the shop what they used and use that. Mixing coolants is sometimes OK, sometimes not, and you have know the details of each coolant to know whether it's a good idea or not.
    • Is it alright to top up with just another green coolant?
