In amongst all the roadkill and Volvo's you'll find the occasional car...  

Tim.

and when you have finally got past all the commo's and chook tins u will c there is a heap of imports down here, considering the population

dude just cos it is 15yr old you still have to get the car complied. it involves changing all the fluid, maybe the glass etc etc. its not as easy as it seems. there is alot to it

15 year old cars do not need complience plates! i think the GOLDEN year is 89

because of this most 89 cars in japan are more expensive that the year after model and in some cases the year after that!

if any one is interested in tas about getting a cheap import.. dont hesitate to pm me!

cheers

i am actually going through the process at the moment with a gtr32. yes they do still need complying to meet australian standards, people who tell you otherwise don't know what they are talking about and shouldn't waste their breath! My car will be here in early november. At the very least it will need new seatbelts, ones with the "five red ticks". also the mirrors will need to be changed in my car because they are bubbley and not straight. i am going to try and get it approved at a country bumpkin place so they won't know what the hell they are doing and will see it as a compleatly neat car with nothing wrong.

    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
    • 300kW is so boring in a Skyline, you'll get spanked by someone's mum's Golf with Alibaba pipes, and an email tune.
