Hi,

Sorry some confusion there, I didn't have the R33 and The RX at the same time, I sold the skyline to fund the RX.

I'm hoping for a nice sorted toy - but I need to establish myself first before I can even think about that, as I'm sure I'm going to have loads of other things I will need to sort.

I've always wanted and R34 though, along with a Supra - they are the only 2 jap cars I want that I have not owned yet, but I've been looking at R34's over there and they cost a fair whack. I do wonder though if I should just save for a LONG time and look at a new GTR - yet another I want to own, but damn, they are expensive there too....

haha, a shopping list before I even arrive!! I sure things used to be cheaper in Oz, when I first started modifying cars!! Most of my RX7 gear came from the states - turbo included.

This is also a ho topic - fist time I have ever started one of those!!

Time is dragging a little here now, I can't wait to get over!!!

Rx7 parts - racing beat the toy store for rotor heads

Steve millen help me on my rx 7 once before he was a big player, weird his son rhys was a small child back then Lol

or mazdatrix in signal hill ? Not sure if there around still

Oh Rx7 are shocking expensive here all models

compares to anywhere else if you go that route

i looked at a FD a few years ago and the price was in R34 GTR money range in the states 13 grand would buy one

Anyway post ho away

Who do we send the parts list too lol excess baggage in container form ( im sure a few mini parts wouldnt go astray either lol)

Hey Mulv,

Just follow these simple rules and you shouldn't have any issues.

1. Don't dump your car on its ass.

2. Don't run straight pipes.

3. Don't put a BOV on it.

4. Keep the car clean looking and body kits to the minimal ( For example A D1 spec R kit may draw more attention then optional stock body kits)

5. Don't run Baller 12inch Rims with a negative offset Running on a set of tires that are holding on for dear life and not expect to get pulled over.

6. Last but not least stay out of the Smithfield. :rofl2: lol had to add that one in

Its called stealth and for the majority of us its our way of life if you don't want to get defected and spend big $$$ to get your car back off it.

In saying that the risk is entirely up to you I have seen some pretty insane rigs getting around but i also know the pain of a getting a car off defect.

:thanks:

Jap cars are expensive if you buy one in OZ. but if you get one imported through IronChef I will be reasonably priced. If you've got the coin you may as well start the ball rolling sooner rather than later. As it can take a little while to get one over here from Japan and you'll want something to drive on the weekends.

Ok,

thanks for that I've dropped Ironchef a line as well about bringing the M3 over if it doesn't sell here, I'm sure it would fetch a better price on Oz if I decide to sell her incase she doesnt sell here

    • This sounds very old of me, however since buying the Tiguan shit box, my view on shit boxes have changed.
    • I've looked up the parts number (41011AL501). It's around $700 OEM. Usually our Infiniti G35 here in Canada have interchangeable parts with my Stagea but the parts number are not the same. I have looked around and it seems the JDM 2005 V35 Skyline (which is the same as our G35) has the same caliper but I cannot confirm. And I can't find a repair kit. The inner brake pads drags on the rotor, seems to be rusty piston. Thanks for the info by the way
    • This coupled with 6-9 speed autos with ridiculously short gearing is why these modern shitbox cars always seem so fast off the line. If it wasn't for those things, Raptors would not seem fast. The problem we have is there is a driveability gap between a more gentle take off and a wheelspinning sideways launch. The difference between ankle flex required to achieve one and ankle flex required to achieve the other is about 0.5°.
    • Yeah I think I'm also with the opposite here. It's 'hard to keep up with traffic' because in the real world I'm accelerating with 15% throttle and they are pinning it. It feels like I'm being an overt dickhead at anything above 15% throttle, so the car sounds like I'm being an overt dickhead to keep up with/get ahead of traffic when I'm really just trying to drive with traffic. There would be no issue 'keeping up with traffic' if we used the same level of throttle input/aggression to drive around. People really do just drive around with their foot nearly pinned in econoboxes.
    • To be fair it's the other way around. 300kw is boring in a modern Golf or BMW. They are so competent / well-engineered / devoid of emotion that you have to go stupid fast to feel anything. Whereas the <300kw RB still makes all the right noises and it feels good to drive. Can pull off at the lights with the turbo whooshing and the blow-off pssshing and feel like the coolest kid on the block. Just don't look to the side where you'll see the bored housewifes in their shitbox Yaris/Corolla/Camry that kept up because you didn't go fast at all
