Just made the phone call. Managed to bump the value up to $9360. That was their max. Cost an extra $44, well worth it. Quoted 1400 for full comp and still wouldn't budge on the max value.

 

 

So yeah, still best car under 10kemoji6.png

 

Dat Skyline tax, paid less than 1400 for my new STI & my old FPV!

This is where the cost of a Tax accountant that knows what they are doing outweighs the costs   FYI $300/h

Damn Gloria, import tax. I think next year im eligible for "65% shannons discount" but it still stands at 1200 or 1600 at the moment. 16k value. Was like $50 a year difference between stock and modifed.

ute went from 1500 to 300 by moving, no other change.

I didn't put a KM restriction as I actually thought I would be doing more km now things are further away. But it just makes you better at planning and doing bigger bunnings shops and such so doing less.

(super market and most food is within 1.5 km so works well)

I should buy my brothers 33 GTST that's been sitting outside the parents joint for the last 6 years rusting away.. 

I think it's missing an engine and exhaust only, he would have 30k in it and just looks like a heap of shit now ? 

Those poor advan TC3 wheels look like rusty shit too now :(

I remember doing driver instruction for him at I think Phillip island, (might have been sandown)

 

that thing had way too much power for the rubber on it.

Doesn't surprise me, remember it being a bit laggy and squirmy once coming on full boost!

Saw Jasons R33 GTST the other day at Tuned meet, the thing looks pretty sweet all blacked out with the big CF wang.

Nice high mount hypergear turbo setup too

Was working on the gloria this weekend and man, motivation is just gone for cars. Everything is just not worth it. I would just take them somewhere for someone else to deal with, but even then... Lots of people dont do good jobs, good people are super busy and take ages or you need to book 4 months in advanced and im away with work so cant even drop the cars off at the workshops... I just need to finish them then only do maintenance.


Then if the pulsar breaks again ill get it transported to alaska for 4th july celebrations.

I need to rewire the whole loom, now that it’s running fine, but the effort required is too much.

Diff oil needs changing, dash cam needs installing, AFR gauge needs calibration, sound system to fit etc.

Never ending & weekend-time is becoming more valuable to be spent worrying about problems lol

Stag is still sitting in the garage with exhaust leaks and a few other things from Metec motorkhana... might get motivated again when the weather gets warmer.

Got the same issue with the Subie, want to get a few things done at a shop.. 2 month minimum booking time, don't even know where or what I'll be doing for work next week so makes it hard to get it done! 

Nearly pulling the trigger on the new Work emotion T5R, apparently the lightest in the emotion range and love the 5 spoke design, multiple spoke / mesh rims can get f**ked too hard to clean!

At least with the subaru everything is bolt on available and the car hasnt changed much since 2011 lol.
Wheels are def next for it, not a fan of the oem ones. Just dont get gloss black please. Gonna keep the same diameter or reduce 1"? They look a bit rubber bandy at the moment

I have a solution for you, single spoke > 5 spokes for cleaning.

Yeh I dont think much since 2008 really lol

One issue is finding shops that tune Cobb, not as many as expected in Melbourne but the big subie shops all do it. 

I don't mind the OEM style, they're just sunk in the guards and hard to clean.. not a fan of spacers too. 
Going to increase 1" width.. stock 19x8.5 and what I'm looking at is 19x9.5 +35 not sure what offset stock is.
Then maybe just transfer the tyres to the new rims unless I can get a good deal on some Nitto Invos or something.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      I always wondered how you were supposed to buy a set of 24 buckets and somehow magically have every single one of them yield exactly the desired clearance. I would have thought you'd need to assemble a cam with either 12 "sample" or "example" buckets of known top thickness (or a single such sample/example 12 times over!!) measure clearances at every valve, and then do the usual math to work out what the actual "shimness" of each bucket needed to be, before buying the required buckets to make up he thicknesses that you didn't have on hand.

      RB25DET with solid lifters - which cams ?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I now seem to be limited in power due to my rev limit/hydraulic lifters in my built RB25. I'm looking into converting over to Tomei solid lifters. Question for anyone that has done the conversion. I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  I don't know where I got this idea, as so far I see no mention of this in any of the Tomei documentation. It just states I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!? There's no way it's that simple, I must be missing something?

      Why am I hitting a power wall with my stroked RB25?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      I couldn't agree more. I should have started from the get-go with a NEO or solid bucket conversion. I started looking into converting over to solid lifters yesterday. Now for some reason I was always under the impression that when using the Tomei solid lifter conversion, you would also require new valves (Longer or shorter stems, I can't remember which).  But I see no mention of this on any of the Tomei documentation. It just states that I need the Tomei solid buckets, solid lifter cams and upgraded springs. As my head is already built, all I would need is another set of 1000$ Kelford cams, 500$ buckets and about 4H hours of my time installing and I'm off to the races!?!?

      "Cheap" bolt on turbo on RB25DET NEO

      By Kapr · Posted

      @Murray_Calavera iam just considering options 🙂 of course it is very expensive so that why i ask here 🙂  @joshuaho96 I looked at that GCG hybrid(i remember looking at it few weeks before) So this is "that" hybrid where i send them my turbo and they upgrade the inside to Garrett stuff and then they send it back. It cost around 1200-1300 USD which is FAR cheaper than the HKS and it is what iam looking for(i just do not have experience like this...to send something off to "upgrade" ) @tylink720 that is like 150 USD turbo no? 😄 I dont think i have the "ease on my mind" with this kind of turbo. I just put over 7000k USD to "LINK" up my engine...dont want to blow it up with cheap turbo 😄     EDIT: https://www.cj-motor.com/gcg-turbo-charger-for-nissan-rb20det-rb25det-high?srsltid=AfmBOooVeOZ6CZ6r1AIv5m-KPaa6BvudIPJTY8LW78khkd-gQlsaCht9 I looked at this and it seems ok? It is that CGC hybrid and it costs around 1250 USD (with back shipping). Do any of you have experience with this hybrid on NEO turbo? I quickly look thru the forum/web and it seems very good.
