Firesport, when I looked at it the symptoms were telling that turbo is blown, when I bought it home the symptoms are pointing at blown headgasket along with cream on oil cap...

Fun times ahead...

Already considering ebay it and see how I go...

ah nice. Is it really that hard to find a rb20? Thought there would be millions of them, as who would want them?

f**kin love this guy

u got an RB20 injector?

i do, but its dirty as

Geez who's r32 here doesn't break. Hard to come by these days :D

mine didnt :)

but i spent enough on it and then sold it :O

its an older car, what do you expect?

What I find amusing is that I cant seem to find any s1 burgandy r33's anymore. Couple years back, there were thousands of them. Now they all have disappeared. wtf happened to them

actually depends how its been taken care of mostly

who sells 3" flexi pipe by the meter?

bunnings is epic fail

wtf for?

actually depends how its been taken care of mostly

The r32 is at sometimes 6-9yrs older than a r33. Which is a car that has taken its learnings from the r32 and made changes.

So of course, the r33 will be more reliable than a r32 as it is newer and any bugs/weak points have been addressed.

Its the reason why r34's look so much better cause they realised their mistake with the r33 styling and went back to a similar r32 design /troll :D

Without getting one for reasonable price, just had someone trying to sell me one for same price as 25det...

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
