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

    • Have you done the Ignition Sync Wizard in the AEM software?
    • Find out what RPM it was idling at with the IACV unplugged. It's very weird that the rpm didn't change at all, and then it stalled. When it stalls is it nearly like a switch off, like you've turned the engine off? Or is it more stutters and sputters and coughs to death over a few seconds? Or does the RPM just slowly keep going down and down? Have you done a test of trying to start it with the AFM unplugged? Does it still die?     If you Follow Josh's advice on using Nistune to check the voltages (which is a perfect method!) if you see anything out of wack voltage wise, THEN get the multimeter out and read the voltage directly at the sensor. If the two vary, then you're now looking for a wiring issue vs a sensor issue. So be aware, what the ECU sees, may not be what the sensor is actually saying too...
    • You very likely need to get it on a dyno and tune it. My assumption is, you've got an RB25DET tune in it, which has a different manifold, different injectors, and different cams as a minimum. What O2 sensor are you running?   When you say it runs extremely rich from idle all the way to redline, is this just free revving it you see that?
    • I seem to the be only person that is using a Haltech 2500 on an NA motor, I've installed a Bosch DBW throttle body to the OEM intake manifold and am having problems maintaining AFR even with the wideband o2.  It will run extremely rich at idle and up to redline, but under load it will go extremely lean in the 20s and i'm essentially having to rev it over 4k and feather the clutch to get it up to speed.  I've read a few other threads of about the butterfly, it seems removing the vacuum to it is supposed to have it remain open, i've noticed no difference under 4k with the vacuum line to it plugged.  I'm hoping someone here has had luck using the NA manifold with Haltech, and if they happen to have a tune for it.
