Yes, I used to have one.

It's actually a Nissan Auster Xtt. I had a 1987 model with the same CA18DET without the intercooler. It was well optioned with a full retracting sunroof, electric everything and electrically adjustable damper control. Mine had a VERY well kept interior, but the engine had seen better days, but it still pulled pretty well. If I remember correctly, the non-intercooled CA18DET was rated at 115-118kw. The downside is the weight of the thing, I think they weigh in at 1200kgs+, so that CA had better have some breathing mods and extra boost to compensate.

Not a bad FF sedan... good if you want a cheap Turbo but want more room/better engine than a Pulsar ET...

an interesting car and i have never seen one before.

when do u get your v35? Rezz

There are a few in Perth...

I have to move house before I get the V35, I'll have to wait till mid-year for it though... or I could just slap down the 400,000 - 500,000 yen for an R32 GT-R and be done with it.

Oh yeah, I'll only have it for a year, then ship it to my brother Trent in Perth... he can get rid of it or keep it, it's up to him.

So.... is this an Aus sold car or a grey import and what would be a good price to pay for it
It's an import. I paid $3,000 for my one (about that...) but like I say, it had a really good interior. That particular one looks ok, but I wouldn't pay anymore than $3,000 no matter how good it is... it's an old, old car.

      Baron's R34 GT-R build thread - car in Japan for 5 years -_-

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      They're all horrible. X-Trails have had a nasty sounding 4cyl since forever, no matter what engine family it came from. The CVTs only made that worse. Then the whole Renault thing only made every Nissan that was contaminated by them even worse again. The only fun I've had in a X-Trail was having it blown sideways across a frozen Minnesota highway at 90 mph trying to make it to the airport to get out of the frozen hellhole of Hoth. Nearly died. Was great fun.

      Alrighty, I'll have to grab a couple pics and type out something soon in another post. I haven't driven a modern X no, this would be the first one really. Yeah the rental boxes are always cheap as chips right? So I'd doubt that anyone was handing out GTs to go and abuse. But I s'pose I could be wrong for sure. New cars these days though? Pretty unimpressed with what I see now; 20 years and all that, like you said. It just kind of worked out to have these two cars now. I'm pretty pleased with that, don't need much else. I'm sure you lads are right about the temps and for sure, you wouldn't have much time to drive 'em down there if you all were like me. I do hate sweating all over the seats though😆

      remote oil cooler hose size, 8,10 or an12?

      Let large companies that are making money off selling kits do the preliminary engineering for you. If they all do -10, then that is all you'll ever need.

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By Hendasto · Posted

      Hopefully it ends up being something manageable, like a hone, rather than a full bore—it would be a huge relief if it’s not as bad as it looks. Hang in there; these setbacks are annoying, but it sounds like you’re handling it as smartly as possible.

      Are RBs worth building reliability wise

      By Hendasto · Posted

      At the end of the day, it’s all about understanding the odds and being comfortable with the potential cost, whether it’s horsepower on a build or chips on a roulette table. And I have to say, the Laine example made me laugh—some people really do embrace that carefree, “roll and see” attitude!
