Remember that $4k profit on the car also covers the time necessary to find a nice, clean car, verify everything, service it, etc.

so they add around 4-5 grand on a car that they would have purchased ? or have i just totaly misread that haha

i would love to have a chat to them either way.. im not in the market of ripping people off...

but i just think hunting down THE car would be a bit of fun.. then maybe if i find one.. hand it over to them

beacuse from what ive heard they are bloody good at what they do ! :)

they shall be my first port of call and then ill make a move depending on how it goes

Nah I was just going off slippylotion's figures. I have no idea what they make on their cars.

Discuss your situation with Ben. Perhaps you can find the car and they'll bring it over and comply it for you?

The figures I'm using are totally fictional NOT actual hard figures. Just using them as an example for any company. I'm also not saying these are figures of Northshore nor another company.

Everything I'm talking about is just hypothetical.

I know :thumbsup:

Makes more sense when you have SOME figure. Although no idea what the markup is on these things.

I'm just trying to say, Northshore = worth it.

Not sure Dunc, have to call Northshore and ask if Ben will comply a private import.

What a joke. Two cars, same power, weight and drive, one legal one not. Surely they have some back door to cover themselves there, so they can claim to have banned all M35s?

Ben won't comply a private PM35 import.

I asked early this year and he flat out said "no", which is understandable considering the risk they went to getting the evidence.

The PM35 is probably not on the banned list because they are not aware of them!

i can totaly understand where they are coming from in regards to the PM35... i wouldnt be doing it if it were my business either lol

but i was hoping perhaps to get compliance in regards to an AXIS or ARX.. not the PM35 versions..

and yeh the banned list probably wouldnt know about them, but still

its just rediculous to ban the ARX and NOT the 250t's or the AXIS versions. stupidity !

what more could you ego driven politicians sitting behinds desks though

Id say the list was generated via an insurance company list of 'known cars'. Its not a comprehensive list, and if they were aware of the car it'd be banned.

Or perhaps they are going by Redbook which doesn't seem to recognise anything other than the ARX

I don't have access to Glass's Guide to see what is in there.

      I mean it's a bit late to say "This won't have any tangible effect and it is not worth spending more than about three seconds on it, please just enjoy the car" But I said it anyway. Does the pod actually get any airflow in that position behind a bumper like that?

      Hey guys - apologies for digging this up. Has this website been shutdown or is the outage temporary?

      So, went shopping at Just Jap for things that might work for the intake  After some trial fitting there I ended up with a 3" x 45° silicone bend, a 3" x 300mm alloy straight, and a humped joiner, some minor trimming will be required to shorten some of the stuff, but nothing that is beyond my "ham fisted" skills The guy at Just Jap was most helpful as we had all sorts of joiners,  bends and stuff out trial fitting  Laying it out above the stuff in there it seems everything will fit nicely, and looking at it, it is probably the way I should have been looking at doing it from the beginning, probably..... In the end it is a front bar off job anyway to remove the original stuff behind the front bar that is taking up the required realestate needed, so maybe a Thursday or Friday job And because I'm a hopeless consumer, I grabbed some new steel wheel nuts, the current ones are a spline drive type with a "security" socket, that somehow someone keeps misplacing, the new ones are a basic black steel 17mm hex socket In other news: I just did my "final" tax return, I am now officially a old retired veteran pensioner, and I'm milking the system for all it's worth,  life is good

      R33 GTST Steering Rack (49001-19U05) Rebuild?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I hadn't thought about the variable power steering assist. Presumably, it will always be the same level of assist as you get in an S14. The R32/3/4 are either helliishly heavy (at low speeds) if the solenoid is not powered at all, or hellishly too light (at high speed) if it is powered all the time. I presume that it is PWM controlled on those cars. I hadn't thought about the S cars not having variable assist. ugh. What crappy plebby cars they must be!

      Hmm yeah that is a good point. It looks like it'll just bolt in with no real issue besides maybe the bushings being different. My other concern was that 2 pin plug that I assume is used in some way to control the rack solenoid depending on the speed signal from the ecu. The DMAX rack doesn't even have that plug though so, don't think it'll matter. Might just order the rack and see how it goes. Will update this when I figure something out
