Japan rocks

[netrati]

Hello all I just thought I'd tell you about the car I'm going to get. It's a 1993 180sx with a black top sr20det.

List of mods:

Bigger Radiator

Nismo super single and flywheel

550cc fuel injectors

300zx brakes

S15 turbo (good for around 300hp?)

APEXi Power FC (dyno tuned)

APEXi AVC-R

2way LSD

FMIC

HKS suspension

Cams 250 degrees in and out I believe

All for $4800US. How does this compare to the prices down there?

So that's about A$7k? That's a pretty good price even if it were stock, for Australia. Are you keeping it in Japan though? Be wary of the tight quality control they have on their cars there, it might need some work to pass the next rego inspection (every 3 years isn't it?). Also the inspection itself costs quite a lot, pass or fail. I'm sure you know more about this than me anyway

[netrati]

Yes it's staying in Japan. The inspections are every two years for a car 10 years old or less and every year for car older than 10 yrs. I think that's right. If you know a mechanic you can get the car passed no matter what it has on it, straight pipe or whatever for about $600US.

Correction the car is a sil80. S-13 front

It's good to see that there are some universal things in this world
