And Hong Kong after they pay their 45% first rego tax on new ones..

There a lot of other countries in the rest of the world that's got the GTR priced higher than AUS (e.g. Singapore, I believe around 250k SGD brand new 1AUD = approx. 1.19SGD). Quit whinging and maybe some day you will get one.

quit winging? LOL bro you don't even have a r35 GTR SO HOW CAN U SAY

quit winging? LOL bro you don't even have a r35 GTR, so how can u say that? U can't, the amount of money u paid for your boat r33 GTR and spent on it, u could of easily owned a R35 GTR over in the US, so how does that feel Brenda? I'd be mad to

Anyone who payed twice as much for something and then found out the same thing is half the price elsewhere would be either kidding themselves or a complete and utter moron if the said they weren't pissed off, no two ways about it. Even the guys on other thread were venting there frustration at the same thing

^ and I rest my case, sweet dreams fellas

u don't even drive a GTR so how about we ban u... 4 life punk

atleast your living up to your profile name

Didn't even go to school did you mate?

You're an angry human aren't you?

Contribute ONE useful thing, and quit attacking people.

Make that your aim for the week.

Practice what ya preach, u started on me 1st so don't complain when u get raped as a consequence Leave me alone and i'll do likewise, i'm open to criticism but do it in the right manner. So far the thread has received rave reviews, don't like it then rack off if you don't contribute any opinion or fact to the discussion, simple. We need more people like me around here to say it how it is rather then coward in the background.

Move to America then

And bug them over on their forum

It's funny u say that coz i was actually thinking the same thing, if i went and lived over there for 3 or 4 years i could own a r35 GTR and pay for my holiday and still have change left over

So Levin boy did u wana come with me? given how much money you've wasted on your boat r33 gtr already

Edited by discoPumpkin

all this coming from the guy with no 35gtr and toy story as his dp.

you want people to stop baiting you?

ignore them.

im sure you will retaliate to this post too.

answers have been given, nothing else is needed.

I promise I won't start any ill conceived, poorly thought out redundant threads; but now you have to follow suit.

I'll be sure to give you a sweet little cuddle before I make any comments in future and treat you like the spoilt little child you clearly are.

If you can make it through one night without making a personal attack on another member I'll make a formal apology to you ; but I'm willing to be that you will have attacked someone before I've even finished this post.

Grow up.

Erm. Does it matter if we (the ones that replied to the post doesnt own a R35 GTR? Dont think so.

TBH, I dont feel anything because someone else in another country is paying 1/2 the price of what I'm paying for my car because its a different country? You can never get the best of everything. As suggested, if you really want to make yourself feel better because you can afford a cheap GTR, move to the States. Lower pay, higher rate of unemployment, higher risk of getting shot and all the crap that goes along with it.

I do not disagree with your comment about getting pissed because I paid more for something BUT only if I can get it into the country. A good example is tyres from Tirerack ;) . Theres no point getting pissed over something which you cannot change (and for this case getting a cheap R35 GTR in Australia)

Not sure but I'm guessing its relative to the labour rates and tax? We're paying extra for luxury car tax here for cars and the GST is calculated with everything included. And the dealer's profit (this is again kinda related to labour rate)?

It's a reasonable statement though, there is actually no legitimate explanation for such a significant price differential, outside of profiteering of course.

Anyway keep feeding the troll and maybe this thread will keep me entertained the rest of the week. :woot:

    • Ha, well, it's been.... a bit of a journey. Things have taken much longer than I'd hoped. I'll probably put up a thread at some stage. Hopefully soon. The car's not done any kms since my update in June though, put it that way.
    • Here's the chart for fuel pressure vs. current draw, assuming your base fuel pressure is 3 bar and you run like 0.5bar boost on WOT, you should only momentarily hit 9amps here and there. (Ignore my prev post, I cannot read a chart these days it seems)
    • Those comp test results are not hideous. Whether they are accurate or not (ie, when that comp tester says 140 psi, is the real pressure120, 140 or 160?) is unknown to us. The state of the battery used to crank it over is unknown, etc etc. Many people around here would say that the absolute values and the spread are perfectly fine to just add boost and keep going. I personally would be happier with a narrower spread than that, but even the diff between 125 and 145 is not terrible. That one cylinder at 125 though, has probably copped some damage relative to the others. You should inspect the valves seeing as you've got it open. Do you know how to measure installed ring gaps? That, and an inspection of the rings themselves, is how you will determine whether they need to be replaced. If you're not good to do these things, take the block and the pistons and rings to a shop that is, and ask them for the go/no-go on them. Do the bores need a hone at all? If so, you might well be justified in getting some different pistons in order to get away from the ring supply problem. Whether you're happy to spend a lot more money right now, on more gear, rather than less money, but an amount that looks stupid given that you will only get a handful of rings in exchange for that money, is for you to decide.
    • also possibly backed up to my filler and shat down it! 🤣
    • Ok so i would love some advice here please, i purchased an R33 a few months back and its had a few mods done to the engine, its an RB25det running a Master ECU, 1200cc injectors, bigger turbo, oil cooler, oil filter relocation kit, Spool H-beam rods, acl/ross pistons. When i removed the motor from the vehicle (as its getting a respray) i thought i would compression test it and these are the following results. Cylinder 1-145psi, Cylinder 2-143psi, Cylinder 3-125psi, Cylinder 4-145psi, Cylinder 5-140psi, Cylinder 6-135psi this test was done with the motor on the ground and powering up the starter motor. I dropped the sump and found broken oil squirters on cylinder 3,5 and 6. I was told my rings are probably worn so i stripped the motor completely to get a new set of rings for it. The trouble is no one has these rings anywhere and they have to be custom made by Ross over in the states and will cost about $600+$200 delivery. My question is how can i tell if my rings are at fault and if they are still ok and is this price ok for a set of rings?
