PS EPS likes dick.

hey wait.

firstly ... Nee-San I'll fight you. dont think i wont. I'm planning on bringing Rising Sunday to QLD for a show in 2012. and when i do. there will be a battle royale.

anyway - 25TT a friend of mine is coming home from japan in a few weeks' time. and as far as i know he's bringing his STI forrester across.

im assuming he's selling it since he'll be going back to japan... maybe get in touch with him?

that's the only GOOD 4wd worth importing :)

Adam's Forester is already spoken for....

And as for your last point, I beg to differ...

and kristian - your link to your tundra doesn't work because you're a poopoo head!

but yeah - tundra is cool but that's not really a "4WD" that's more in the class of larger 4wd

actually... have you ever thought about importing a Canyonero?

can find a pre 89 canyonero. they're easy enough to snap up, man...

ask Iron Chef about it see if he can find you something

So how much is the forrester STI to import? I havent seen many of them on the import list at all coming through...

The STI fozzies aren't on any import list. You can't import them via SEVS. You have to personally import one by living overseas for more than 12 months.

Accordingly I'd say they would go in excess of $45k for a pristine, low km mode.

I've got a personal import legacy GT too with some nice tasteful bits. it's an 04 and has the 200kw donk (like our old 2L wrx STI's had) not the little 180kw odd jigger we got here. my parents have the legacy now. cool car, has a nice fujitsubo exhaust. funny to see my oldies driving it!

Ok it appears the Nissan cross over has hit our shores:

http://www.carsales.com.au/all-cars/dealer/details.aspx?Cr=0&R=10556165&keywords=&trecs=1&__Ns=pCar_RankSort_Int32|1||pCar_PriceSort_Decimal|1||pCar_Make_String|0||pCar_Model_String|0&__sid=11EFB3074121&__Nne=15&__Qpb=1&seot=1&__N=1216%201246%201247%201252%201282%204294697255%204294963846&silo=1011

Hope that link works, otherwise just go to carsales and search under nissan, then skyline crossover.

Doesnt look too bad to be honest!

They're about the same money as a Murano, but without the ugly ;)

I guess I put them in the same boat as the BMW X6 - trying to be all things to all people, and not necessarily excelling in any particular area. Handy if you have a partner who is prone to taking off the front spoiler of your car on any given spoon drain though...

      After market rear camber arm adjustment

      By Duncan · Posted

      Then, shorten them by 1cm, drop the car back down and have a visual look (or even better, use a spirit level across the wheel to see if you have less camber than before. You still want something like 1.5 for road use. Alternatively, if you have adjustable rear ride height (I assume you do if you have extreme camber wear), raise the suspension back to standard height until you can get it all aligned properly. Finally, keep in mind that wear on the inside of the tyre can be for incorrect toe, not just camber

      I know I have to get a wheel alignment but until then I just need to bring the rear tyres in a bit they're wearing to the belt on the inside and brand new on the outside edge. I did shorten the arms a bit but got it wrong now after a few klms the Slip and VDC lights come on. I'd just like to get it to a point where I can drive for another week or two before getting an alignment. I've had to pay a lot of other stuff recently so doing it myself is my only option

      You just need a wheel alignment after, so just set them to the same as current and drive to the shop. As there are 2 upper links it may also be worth adding adjustable upper front links at the same time; these reduce bump steer when you move the camber (note that setting those correctly takes a lot longer as you have to recheck the camber at each length of the toe arm, through a range of movement, so you could just ignore that unless the handling becomes unpredictable)

      I got adjustable after market rear camber arm to replace the stock one's because got sick of having to buy new rear tyres every few months. Can anyone please let me know what the best adjustment length would be. I don't have the old ones anymore to get measurements. I'm guessing the stock measurement minus a few mm would do it. Please any help on replacing them would be fantastic I've watched the YouTube clips but no-one talks about how long to set the camber arm to.

      Heh. I copied the link to the video direct, instead of the thread I mentioned. But the video is the main value content anyway. Otherwise, yes, in Europe, surely you'd be expected to buy local. Being whichever flavour of Michelin, Continental or Pirelli suits your usage model.
