It does kinda defeat the purpose of it. But I would like to see someone drifting the sh1t out of one over here.

Correct! There's a good reason you're hearing this from me first - we were the ones who got the S17 series on SEVS in the first place, and have been working hard on it with the workshops for the 18 m

why the hell would anybody want to drive that in a manual?

...why do people only want "manual" when it comes to imported cars??

that car would be ruined in a manual.. it'd just be wrong!

hey guys, sorry to zombie up this thread to the top...

but is there any news about this? - hoping for kristian to say something like..

...yes Rowan, there is a particular compliance shop in Sydney that are very on the ball about these and no - it's not going to be like Benrys' Mark2 cos these guys are better"

im hoping he says that

then hoping he says "all we were needing is a test car"

hint.... hint...

just sayin - i have heard that apparently there is someone somewhere bringing a test car in...

is that true?

if it's NOT true...

how much would a black majesta be? on YAJ they seem to chase between 400K - 900K :/

which seems very cheap considering these are a few rungs up in toyota heirachy than the celsior - aka Lexus LS400 :)

test cars need to be stock stock standard don't they? like not even aftermarket rims are allowed, true or false?

if that is the case i might wait for one of the aus-vip guys to get one, if im getting a uzs173 i want aimgain and trafficstars, and i want coilovers too :P

and i want all the judgemental imports guys to get angry at me again fro "bringing in a bloody modified car"

:P

no i won't.

haha

nah i went out monday night n got driven around in my mates VT commode.

and while they are nasty pieces of gutless uninspiring shit... i must admit it was nice to get out of the back seat and have my own door to get out of...

kinda made me miss my cefiro a lil bit...

so i came home all starry eyed for a JZS171...

...then i found out the difference between crown athlete n crown majesta... and realised i would rather a majesta :)

i don't want another turbo car - i want a V8!

Andrew - to be quite honest it's not that they're cheap really... if anything they're appropriately priced - let's be honest, as far as a japanese owner is concerned they're a ~12 year old car that needs inspections done every year now...

...and many are nearing 100,000km which everybody KNOWS that means the car will explode any day now

so if anything they're quite reasonably priced...

...there's one at USS that goes up tomorrow in Tuubu...

it's 202 black onyx.

101,000km

1UZFE

4 stars

2002 build

black paint with tan leather interior

has either aftermarket height controller - or aftermarket coilovers... either way it's lowered.

rims look like weds kranze somethings's's?

kristian would you mind letting us know (pm if you want) (or inbox my facebook) how much this goes through at?

auction ID is apparently:

FUN3722

because ^^^ that car is what i would be trying to import...

i know that compliance is cheap on a test car... but at any rate... i simply cannot justify waiting around for a year or so to await testing etc..

when after getting my damn car delivered to me here out in perth in the year 2012...

...i get this:

http://74.53.162.34/imgs/pfzFGIAwxKq6oMmA1VwoTfteFRgkjRGatRzDLvnh9gWmuknWIbbNSbNae2

:/

unless kristian is keen to broker me a white fridge mobile, then comply it... then i on-sell it as someone's project car..

....THEN get a 202 black onyx baller one ;-)

      Leak from Tokico BM50 Brake Master Cylinder

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      HFM BM57 has a "bad" knee point, IIRC. It's not the same thing as the later R chassis MC.

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      The ATTESSA is functionally identical to R34; there were a bunch of JDM models that continued ATTESSA including Fuga/Q70, Skyline/Q50, Cima etc as an option. All with Auto only and I think mostly for snow regions. AFAIK there were no AWD VR30DDTT sold in Australia - it is on my to do list to check regs for racing a LHD car in Targa/ATR/AASA/CAMS events because if I can get the auto to work it would be interesting to run a 4wd car The Ecuteck TCM tuning is the same model as their ECU tuning, they already have it for R35 and Dose's favourite, BMW. You buy "points" to allow your computer to be tuned, buy either a bluetooth (phone app) or bluetooth+USB+Key (phone and PC) dongle, and pay for a tune that will be locked to your tuner ( ). You can also access the tuning software yourself but 1. it is mega expensive and 2. these computers have a billion parameters that intersect, so how could you ever spend enough time on it to get a decent result.

      Or, is it a case of what it is like owning an R series Skyline? NFI what the previous owner has done or fiddled with... Ha ha ha After reading through this thread, I went on a bit of a research about the Q50/Q60. Now I'm quite intrigued by them! Is the AWD in them more like a WRX where it's always AWD, or is it more like the ATTESSA in the GTRs? By the sound of this TCU tuning, this sounds like a case of someone has made some real software for it, and you just need the right piece of hardware, and then you license that specific vehicle/TCU. Or is this a case of the software will be really expensive so only a few tuners have it, and you still have to pay a license per vehicle?

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol

      No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
