So I picked this up from a 62year old lady a few months ago. She brought it in from Japan in 1999, and it was her weekend car. It has just clicked over 200,000km, it was her pride and joy. I have had the paint corrected and ceramic coated over the whole car. I purchased some second hand Bilsteins and had them rebuilt by Bilstein in Sydney. I have purchased a AP Engineeing Power FC with the boost control kit and the FC datalogit module.

Planned mods are as follows..

JJR stainless 3” turbo back with HF cat

Hypertune High Flow G2 or G3 BB OP6

Blitz return flow front mount Intercooler

550cc injectors from GCG

Walbro fuel pump upgrade

Z32 AFM

Apexi power intake

Splitfire coil pack

Looking for anything above 250kws on 98.

Cheers Angelo

Don't put an OP6 based highflow on an RB20.  It will be laggy and you won't like it.  There are smarter options.  Even just the 21U based highflow would be smarter.  But right now, budget considerations notwithstanding, I wouldn't choose a highflow.  I'd put an EFR7163 on it.

Don't buy 550cc injectors, unless they are Bosch EV14 based.  If they are just old style injectors they will be shitty compared to even 1000cc EV14s.

You will need a clutch (because it will not live long).  You will need a diff (because it will single peg everywhere).  You will probably end up needing a gearbox.

Sorry it was the 21U that Tao mentioned, and not to go the OP6...

The EFR7163 would not drop straight in would it?

I am trying to make all of my mods reversible, so I can go back to stock if need be..

The GTS-T has LSD from factory.

The 550cc injectors are from DeatschWerk, I thought they were all OK??

That's a pretty cool story in regards to the previous owner history. At least you know that it'd been very well looked after as it looks in the photos. Pretty keen to see some interior and under the hood shots even though I'd assume it's all factory standard.

Try and stay away from the JJR range. Their R32 exhaust in particular had fitment issues and requires custom fab to sit correctly.

Thanks for the heads up on this!

      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.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
