Maybe try autoshop

www.autoshop.net.au

but it depends on what mods you want? engine mods? or wheels, paint and bodykits?

Umm well can I ask why you are looking to buy from a car yard/importer? did you buy your car from one of these establishments? I am not a fan of car yards the only good thing about them is the fact that they give you a warranty. And besides if you are looking for a decently modified, (engine mods: cooler, bigger turbo, fuel pump, clutch) car then from what I have seen there are not too many good examples in car yards, most have been thrashed, or just have general mods like wheels and paint/kit. I believe that if you are serious about buying a quality skyline you should check out the trading post. www.tradingpost.com.au At least then you will have a decent range to choose from and also have more of a chance of securing something that you want in terms of mods/condition/klms etc and probably save a few grand while you go.

My thoughts anyway.

Yeah i too would be looking at the trading post / internet forums, like 09ONE_32 said, most yards will only have cosmetic mods done to the cars or basic exhaust/filter mods....

Street machines is located just south of brisbane (about 5-10mins out of town along Ipswich Rd.) Not far from the Gabba.

Cameron,

I just picked up my R33 GTST not more than two weeks ago. I bought from Autoforce at Underwood, the service was excellent adn the price was really good. Not only that, but they also have a great network of suppliers and mechanics for all your future needs. Give them a call - the owner is Kevin Lee and they are online at www.autoforce.com.au

woops its 27000, man thats a tad bit much for a R33 with a kit + chromies + zorst...

"BryanB"

Just cause i showed you doesnt mean you have to buy it... hehe

shes my baby :)

looks nice i reckon ;) going to test drive it tomorrow..

an look around at some other places,

"chfowler" i've looked their but they seem expensive, as they still have factory air box and so on (talking about the silver 1995 mdl) i dont want anything to early im after a 1995 + mainly silver but the one from brisbane streetmachines is an excepton :)

i also need to know were i can get parts from ?

You're not going to find many modified ones at dealers, and in fact they're becoming rarer because of the new import laws.

Southport on the Gold Coast seems to have a stack of import dealers (Ferry Road). So if you wanna take the 50min drive down the Pacific Highway, its probably not a bad place to look.

    • For fuelling the Haltechs have O2WB fuel controllers. Very useful for helping tuning VE and correcting for *small* mistakes. Of course if your injector/cam/trigger/sensor data is just wrong (or for a GTT which is not a GT) then you will get impossible reactions to things. I am sure you know this already but the reason people don't typically put haltechs (or any Aftermarket ECU) on GT's is because there's practically no real gains to be had - So this knowledge won't be commonplace.
    • Can someone tell me if the cracks seen in the rear sway bar bushings in these photo's is unacceptable from a roadworthy point of view?  
    • Shouldn't need a "base map" for anything other than guidance to ignition tuning. You just need the engine capacity right, the injector size right, and something, almost anything, for a VE map. On an NA engine, fuelling is almost completely a function of load signal & rpm. It should run and drive with a completely flat fuel map. It will be too lean under load, but that's easily fixed. We used to tune all ECUs without any base map. There were no such things (until someone had tuned a near stock engine on one, and then they had a "base map".
    • What did you actually buy/how much did it cost? When I got mine in like.. 2017...? 2019? the aim was to run Torque for gauges via ODB2 and things like Track Addict/Laptimers/Dashcam/Reversecam/Spotify etc. Mine never broke, but I wonder if you've got the same needs (it sounds like it). Cause I liked the idea of being able to do anything with it. That said, yours also cost 3x the cost of what I spent so... food for thought.  
    • For me there is a massive difference in manufacturer or big brand crippled android (Sony, Kenwood etc) vs the sort of thing I've installed here, which is basically just a tablet in DIN form factor with open Android, and the other model of course is mirroring - Android Auto/Carplay. I hate the locked down manufacturer and AA options where they decide what apps I'm allowed to install, including the Launcher but also importantly things like Ecutek (for this car) or Real Dash (Stagea) are not supported. Plus those crippled versions tend to be slower due to both overheads and lower spec hardware. On the other hand, when this breaks I'll likely be in trouble for support....but how is that different to owning an Infiniti anyway
