It will stop some crashing.

Go drive a 300kw skyline and tell me that won't increase your chances if losing it

You obviously haven't seen arab drifting on youtube.

You still can crash a 4 cyl Camry...

yeah any car can speed.

this was me in a 2L NA wagon all 105 Fly KW

germany09%2520021.jpg

training is more important that power to weight.

oh and earlier that day I had a 92kw FWD hatch at indicated 205!

yep, I remember getting a stock lancer rent a car over 200 with 5 people in the car...back mid 90s...

There will be ulterior motives behind this anyway...like raising more revenue from P-platers speeding..

you watch Kids all get excited about the new laws and start driving like morons...

then government will use this as an excuse to bring in mandatory GPS tracking or some bullshit....

They are just fishing, they're just giving a little slack before they reel us in further....

Not really,

I think it's just because soon pretty much all cars will have forced induction and there is NO WAY the government can look like they are forcing P Platers to drive older less safe cars

it HAD to happen

i always like the fact the holden cruze.

2 models the "sportier" faster was NA

the slower less powerful one a small turbo..

and which is the only one a new driver could have...

or you could drive the superseded Renault Clio Cup but not the less powerful mini cooper S

I could go on for days but yes how hard is it to find a small car released in past 2 years with no turbo varient,

It allows P platers to drive turbo diesels and weak turbocharged petrol vehicles.

However...P plater buys CA18DET S13...much easier to get big power out of these than even N/A V8, which I thought was the reason turbos got blanket banned in the first place except for those turbo diesels appearing on the unrestricted list.

Are V8s still banned?

So I purchased one of these which has an 85mm ID:

Not realising I need the 500-A022 model which has a 75mm ID. Anyone know how I can make it fit to the RB25DET? Would an adaptor or the like work?

Did you purchase the Power Intake adpator too? I don't think those come with one.

As listed here:

Oh and next time, save yourself the money and just buy a 3A racing pod off ebay for 30 bucks. They filter well and are cheap (as a piece of perforated cloth and some stamped metal should be).

Love them or hate them, the VF commys are a respectable bit of kit. Electronic park brake is fkin cool.

13.8L/100km average on LPG, that's close to diesel economy when you convert to dollars, isn't it?

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
