They are also illegal in QLD for P Platers.. you were just lucky to get a High Power Exemption.. :P

206kw is legal but the power to weight ratio is illegal, cops arent gonna know that.

i dont have an exemption lol

Yeah bro once i saw you got your licence suspended i did pretty thorough research to make sure i wasn't driving an illegal car, even though i technically am. But i doubt police officers are going to bother checking the power to weight ratio when i get pulled over. Its pretty f**ked u lost yours just because NSW is still 200KW :/

Yeah stay away from Nagoya or at least have an I dependant mechanical inspection if your not knowledgable.

On what grounds are you basing this 'opinion' of yours ?

Nagoya have been fantastic for me, they are fixing mistakes a PREVIOUS employee made still, a year later..

Even customers who brought cars that Demetri private imported thinking it was being brought from Nagoya...

Cody is amazing. I have 100% trust in him.

My mate has a auto he likes the tiptronic gearbox but nothing beats a manual. The stock exhaust has a seriously nice roar at around 4k RPM 2nd gear i love it

i have a HKS high flow/power replica on my car, its so loud i cant record the sound cauz it distorts the mic on my phone :D i love the exhaust all the cops look at me and give the stare but i have not been pulled over since i bought the car over a year ago, been followed a few times but nothing more then that.

haha man it's definately the G spot on the cars exhaust, that mark around 4k rpm 2nd gear is insane i love that stock roar. I have only been pulled up once, first question "how many killowatts is this thing?"

haha

Unless they are willing to put you on a dyno, its however many kilowatts you want to say it is, and that would be a Wheel kilowatt number thus being lower than the flywheel anyway, so you would get away with it

Cody isn't there anymore, NEVER BUY from Nagoya! My car with a supposed 60,000 km on the clock, had less when i brought it, it's done 2 front wheel bearings, front CV joint gone, turbo gone, replacement is on its way out already! Not replaced that long ago.

A well built jdm car should not flog out all that stuff in sub 60,xxx km's!!

Wow that's a real smart thing to say tom. I guess then if I'm new you to SAU you could only assume this is my 1st car as well right and that I'm 17?

And since that you have over 1000 post you would be considered a car god right?

Like to also mention that there compliance is done in house... Child restrains are a part of that compliance.. 1st bit of rain we had the boot started leaking water in... Why you may ask... Because the blokes installed the mounts in the water Chanel and didn't seal it, water ended up down inside the boot, behind the tail lights and in the carpet... Amature hour at the least

Ok guys. Yes, I found Tom's response irrelevant too. I don't have many posts here either but I'd lay many $$s that I've owned more generations of Skylines for longer than most of you. Regardless, just trying to make a point - It's not all about numbers.

My latest Skyline is a Series 2 V35 coupe from Nagoya. Bought it almost 3 years ago. Beautiful vehicle - perfect condition. Has done me well. Very happy. Sorry to hear about your personal experience Joel. It's not typical.

Wow... just wow.

Someone woke up grumpy as hell.

My comment wasn't related to post count genius, it was about this forum's general courtesies towards local businesses (i.e. you don't come on here to do what you just did.)

PM the OP of this thread if you wanna share information like that.

This thread wasn't opened so people such as yourself could say nothing but bad things about Nagoya in an attempt to ruin their reputation.

YOU had a bad experience with them, many others in this thread didn't.

Grow up princess, your hostility and inflation of a simple comment is laughable :yes:

Yes Cody has gone.. i have had a very sour experiance ... i would no longer recommend Nagoya.

Short story, in 2010 brought my car when Dmitry worked there, flew down and drove it back with my step dad. When i got there Dmitry said car had just arrived so was not on the website yet, turned out to be a personal import, i didnt know at the time.(even if he admitted it, i had just spent $300 on tickets, as if im gonna say nah even thou car and price is perfect and is what im looking for im gonna go spend another $300 in flights because its not through nagoya...) The initally warranty card i got from him was fake, the compliance they do is fraud, they say they put in a alarm but none was..

Anyway my 24,000 engine was using lots of oil, i did drive it hard i admit but serviced it every 5k. Cody tried to help and sold me $2000 warranty for top $5000 level engine cover by National Warranty Group. These guys are the biggest scam ever, they have 2 clauses. 1. normal wear and tear, 2. Consequencial damage. Basically that gets them out of everything and if it happnes to be that somthing breaks in the engine then they will only replace that part and nothing else that is damaged by that part being broken.

So i went to claim for rebuild when they told me to strip my engine down to find the cause and they determed it was "normal wear and tear" that makes a 30,000-60,000km engine use lots of oil.. so no claim and it cost me lots in labour to pull engine and strip it down. $2000 for warranty which is useless, no way would they pay out $5000 when they only have to use 2nd hand part and not fix all the damge... they even voided my warranty after i was arguing with them and asking for a refund... now i have no claim and no warranty.

What did Nagoya have to say? Well the owder Alex (who i had never heard of or seen) was soooo insulted like i had personally set out to rip him off when i brought the car from dmitry in 2010 from his former employee, that alex no longer wanted to help or give me a refund for a warranty i should not have been sold in the first place..

Stay away from both Nagoya and esp National Warranty Company Scam...

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
