Yeah LZY33R is slightly misleading. You may need to change the plate or risk being liable for false advertising......

If my 30/26 makes that I'll be stoked!

Good job.

LOL yeah it is, although the car was rather "lazy" when I first bought it... stock RB26's don't really move :P

Very nice man, very nice indeed. Any specs on the build? Turbo is a GT40ish size?

RB26/30 fitted with a Garrett 51r turbo.

3.0l bottom end with all the goodies (i.e forged pistons, rods, etc), however 2.6l head remains stock (no porting or head work done whatsoever).

Long overdue update

So earlier this year I had a photo shoot for both Performance Imports and Performance Garage magazine. This was one of my favourite photos in low resolution.

No real changes have been made to the car besides upgrading from Splitfire coilpacks to LS2 coil packs to resolve some ignition issues, and also a re-tune to unleash some more power and to improve on the cruise points with the tune.

Nice ride , some great pics :)

Do you have the latest Dyno Chart ?

How does it drive on the street with the 51r on it , laggy at all or does the extra torque take care of that.?

Enjoyed the read , keep us informed

    • 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.
