'Less than $40,000'

But at 140kw, I don't know man. Maybe a car for the missus

hmmm, power-to-weight ratio is same as a stock r32 gtst.

Im keeping my eye on it as it will probably handle and feel like my r32 but with everything being new and not rattling/falling apart haha

If someone comes up with a turbo kit for it, it should be pretty good. However, I would have prefered to have a reliable Toyota engine...

Give it 6 months from new, there will be a kit commercially available. Will seriously consider upon test drive...but I did see a late model Celica today and it reminded me of the 86 quite a bit :(

I knew Toyota would have to make something bland about it...why did it have to be the engine :(

Plan for Jan 2013? :P

it just needs some phat wheels and stance to be epic imo.

with a turbo would be so awesome really hope they bring one out down the track a trd version or soemthing.

for sub 40k it has no competitors i mean a 370z is 70k new!

Gardening is a pain in the arse.

Redoing my small backyard, massive front yard and side yard.

Progress of the back so far. Before and after

Front is a blank canvas at the moment

sheesh, that looks like a huge property? Demolish and build units?

UK ain't all it's cracked up to be. Their petrol is ridiculously expensive and enjoy your rego on anything with more than a 2 litre engine...then there's the ugly, fat and depressing lifestyle/weather.

Import from the states = $30k to do a proper conversion from LHD.

It's not as easy as it sounds; for every loophole you can think of around paying high prices for cars locally, it's all been thought of / done before. This is reflected in the prices of our local second hand market and the overseas import markets. It's the reason why you can go to Japan and buy a 1998 RX7 for $9k, whilst a 1999 RX7 will cost you $18k - the latter can be imported to Oz.

Buy a delivery km Mustang in Australia for ~70k-80k, the same car will cost you 35-40k in the US...add your RHD conversion, shipping etc. You might come out 5k better off after the hassle and risk involved in importing yourself.

Personal import is probably the only thing worth considering to save money, if you can pull it off...

Die in a fire!

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
