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.

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

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!)...

hahahaha nice

yea thats true

cheers mate

Neil's replica is mint, and at 16k it's a steal!

You can buy mine for 16k so I can buy Neils?

+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.
