Hey, welcome to SAU. Its good to see a fellow X***Xer here. But im not really straight edge. :)

Good choice on a skyline, but good luck getting one in America, apparently there is only 1 place that is allowed to import them called Motorex.

Welcome Mist...

I hope you can get that Skyline! I hear they're not so easy to get. Good luck.

Btw, is it possible in the US to drive "imported" cars around (right-hand drive versions from Japan, UK, Australia etc) without changing the steering wheel over to the left? Is there some kind of permit you can get for it? Reason I ask, is because I couldn't stand the thought of a GT-R getting abused;) like that...

THanks For the Warm welcome ,I `ve been looking into all of it and ,I am gonna leave it left hand drive,I wanna be diffrent from everyone here but hopefully buy next september ,I will be living in Sydney or New South Wales Witch is preety phat Thanks for the tip of motorex,I will have to look into that as well hopefully ,I will learn alot from all you latter :headspin:

I did some very cursory research on it a while back and it seems like you can't due to new(er) regulations prohibiting it. I think the new law was that if there is a remotely comparable model in the States (for instance like old model WRX Sti and the U.S. Impreza 2.5RS) you can't import it. However, if it is a totally different car, then with the proper crash testing, compliancing, etc, then you can drive it without a change of the steering wheel (i.e. I don't think Motorex Skylines change the steering wheel over?).

However, I've seen pictures of street driven Evo's in the states. Some people just import it as a race or show car and then change the Vin badge on it (illegally of course) to one of a U.S. Mirage or Lancer.

    • Oh, also, forgot to add these photos I believe.
    • Thought i'd update on this. I was able to get in contact with Craig Lieberman and later on Darryl Alison (owner of Kaizo Industries). Darryl was able to help me verify that my car was in fact one of theirs and is helping me find more info on mine !
    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
