why the hell anybody would want to drive a car like this as a manual is beyond me :S

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!

It does kinda defeat the purpose of it.

But I would like to see someone drifting the sh1t out of one over here.

Sorry for the stupid question. What exact model/year is the 1 in the pic?

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?

http://74.53.162.34/imgs/4IuzCwB6Lua4jzKEDpTRXZOJDqxPBttFSc4OQ2ixKQxJMKqEEwioAi8rxrwAZuoS49MetAUABs

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 ;-)

    • Hi, i’m making a rb25det coil loom for Vag short coil. Can anybody tell me which Ecu signal wire belong to coil number 1 and 2,3,4,5,6? The connecting switch in above pic is 8 wire i think white is for +12v and black for earth.
    • Was there ever a model of the Stagea m35 that didnt have a badge on the grill? I thought I saw that somewhere, some aero edition or something? I cant find it again? davemoto
    • Its a 2002 vr-x four VQ25DET, silver. Coil overs, lowered, polished alloys and sport exhaust. Bit of a project, was sitting in a shed for a while but runs and drives great.
    • I wasn’t able to replicate the sound anymore. It was a one time sound so maybe it was just coincidence but it was like small pebbles being dropped in a coke can.   should I try cleaning the MAF? It could be it’s functioning but dirty? I don’t know.
    • Update 4: Hi all. The car drives again! Haven't driven for long, only to store it in the garage again, but the test drive was successful. The coolant and oil leaks seem to be fixed for now. Temps on the engine were also very good, while moving I never even saw 80C water during the approx. 30 minute drive. Ate up all the coolant in the reservoir though so will have to fill that even more when I go to the car next time. One thing that pisses me off is that the RPM gauge is still f**ked, I even resoldered the board twice and used copper paste on the silly screws that are used as connections. Next time I take it out I'll take apart the board and fit new components, I'll see if I can get a replacement IC for it.  I have an appointment set for 22nd of September for the engine tune to 370hp. Alignment also still needs to be done. My hope is that I can get all the legal stuff over with by the end of this season. Anyone of you have advice regarding intercoolers? Currently there is an APEXI core fitted, one of those weird hybrid ones, 600x270x76. I don't think it's bad but it's not new and now I still have the chance to change it now to legally include it in the paperwork. Only issue is that the only options that would arrive in time are a HKS Type R intercooler or generic Ebay spec intercoolers comparable to a JustJap one. Ideally I'd order a Plazmaman but it takes over a month to receive which would mean making the car legal has to wait until next season. Would love to hear some input on this. Same story for my injectors, the previous owner was a nunce and put ID 1050x on the engine. They work but are obviously not ideal at "normal" power levels. But I don't see a reason to change them unless the tuner says it's necessary. I read online before buying a different exhaust that the top secret style rear diffusers won't fit due to the size of the rear resonators. My buddy and I made it work by slightly "adjusting the shape" of the mounting bracket and making some spacers out of 3d print for the mounting bolts. Fits like a charm. Just putting this here in case someone has this problem. Even the hefty HKS Silent Hi Power rear can fits without hitting anything.
