Just want to know. Who have owned and seen Impul's car in Australia. What are the difference between a famous jap tuning house built car compare to a normal skyline GTR or GTST in price?? And do you think they are collectable item? :sadam:

i paid a fair bit for my car because i knew what it was and knew what it was worth, I didnt haggle the price or anything because i loved the car at first sight and just went bang and put the cash on the table.

the salesman was also very good.

he said alot of people had looked at my car and said, "what the hell is that? " or "who would pay that much $ for a stupid 4 door skyline". I love it and its vey rare, and people are always turning their head for another look.

Matty, i love your Impul 4 Door R33! Goodjob...

I believe under the new SEVS scheme you will never see those cars being imported into Australia either anymore. Which makes them even rarer :D

Original ones would have to be separately crash tested and certification as a separate vehicle -- costing into the many $10's of thousands. One of the downers of the new import system :) all you're going to get on the road are bog standard R33 or R34. How boring. Even special factory editions you're never going to see :(

Of course, there are some of us that can got the private import route... remember?
btw, just purchased the 1/18 scale model of the r32 calsonic impul jgtc car to go with my collection.  just have to brave the cyclone and go and pick it up tomorrow.  should be fun.

we're gettin pretty smashed up here on the sunny coast.

IMPUL-R33R, good work :)

I also brought a 1/18 scale Calsonic Impul (no.12) I paid A$104 for it last year. I believe that will become a collection item.

One of these was for sale on Yahoo Japan. From the top of my head, they want about 4-5 Million Yen or there abouts.

Edit: To be clear I mean a Impol/Calsonic R32 GT-R like the one pictured in your link.

The Calsonic/Impul R32 is back up for auction.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
