hey troy why don't you come have a chat with me i live in rocko and own the autech drivin around

hey Daniel,

u remember me from clubmotavate? i was in ur dads ute at motivation this year :(

i want a cruiser, auto is fine with me, but as i found with the 32, the older it gets the more stuff i hav to buy and replace that doesnt effect performance or looks (bushes, relays etc etc)

and i thought the s2 is newer, tiptronic, neo engine, bit nicer interior, would love to get one with a sunroof, good ac.

yea iv seen that replica autech one, think i might take a trip down to hav a look, is a bit of a bargin...but then im hesitant of getting a car thats been converted cos my 32 had a turbo conversion and it was just never right ya no.

cheers guys :)

you could almost try to import 1 they are cheaper now because it only 5% Import duty and it used to be 10% There is some savings to be had getting one from japan..You could have a look in oz too

nice cars go better than i thought

i have series 2 with dayz body kit lots of extras would not worry about leather that stuff gets hot in summer sun roof?if you want it

If I were buying one today would prefer S2 just because the ecu is able to take Nistune chip. However with a manual it doesn't really matter If I were in Aus I would have a look at MS180's Autech - its every bit the same as factory - started off with a C34 shell and put all the Autech bits from a genuine Autech.

hey guys,

yea i dont want leather interior, too much to take care of and yea would get welllll hot in summer lol

heres a link to one in SA id like

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/privat...1&silo=1011

i think ill hold off from buying one till the rite one comes up. i dont wana rush it lol

importing would b cool butttt it takes months :S

like i said before im not too fussed about getting an auto, one of the resons i sold my 32 was cos i hav a bit of a drive to work and i cant b bothered worrying about clutching all morning lol

i will go look at that replica i think :)

yea iv seen that replica autech one, think i might take a trip down to hav a look, is a bit of a bargin...but then im hesitant of getting a car thats been converted cos my 32 had a turbo conversion and it was just never right ya no.

If done correctly, there should be no issues at all with a good conversion: mine has been converted for around 4.5 years now, and I have not had a single problem arise that could be attributed to the fact that the car was converted. There have been a few confusing parts issues, because I wasn't sure what I needed: original or rb26/R32/R33GTR-related, but it has never been anything to lose sleep over. For the money, I wouldn't even think twice: bargain!!

Plus, once you've tried a manual '26, you'll be converted yourself (pun intended): you wouldn't think of going auto '25 if they both demanded the same coin...

Just my 2 cents (another intended pun!)...

I would have a look at MS180's Autech - its every bit the same as factory - started off with a C34 shell and put all the Autech bits from a genuine Autech.

+1

From what I've read, the Autech shell had rust the car couldn't be complied so he switched everything to a local shell.

If your shopping for a C34 and not far, check this car out first.

    • That's awesome. Fully serviced/full log book history for one of those cars is super rare from what I know. With JDM's like Skyline's, Supras, are quite hard to find one with full log book history. S15's seem to be somewhat of an exception, at least the spec s australian delivered models.
    • Hey all, It's been a bit since I have been able to update.  I pulled the fuel pump, first off it was a "universal" pump and the strainer was very clogged, and it was folded over on itself.  I replaced the fuel pump and all is well....  No more stalling.

    • Hey guys so turns out this project is going to be much bigger than I thought haha but I've done some my homework and have done a few panels on my car, but one part I can just not visualise is this. If I do a spot repair and I put filler in a dent for example and sand outside of the repair with 320 grit lets say so the primer can stick as I will only put primer on that repair and the surrounding area and then repaint the whole panel. Don't I need to make sure that I don't put primer on the old clear coat? I keep seeing YouTube videos where people have new paint and primer land on the old clearcoat that isn't even dulled down, it's still shiny. I thought putting paint on clearcoat or primer on clearcoat is a bad idea because it won't stick. So in this scenario it's a bit different to mine but imagine someone doing a spot repair and only painting that small section of repair but the new paint is landing on the old clearcoat. What am I missing?
