Been looking at the local ones and they are all modified and molested.

When you think about it they have all come in via import so I want to start from the start and get something nice and clean.

Also I don't have the time to go running around the country inspecting them.

If I get it through Iron Chef then he has people on the docks inspecting and they come with a grading haha so easier for me.

Why you go the import route? (honestly curious)34s around these parts I believe are less than this 16k figure...

yeah i reckon 34s here are 12k for a nice one plus you still need to get it passed dickson. i would look here first bringing a panel of experts there are nice examples around.

why the change in model anyway, besides stock s1 r33's look like a bag of dicks?

Haha to be honest I don't mind the S1 R33 the 34 does look much better though
But I just want something more reliable, not so old and newer model.

The 33 is nearing about 210,000km and everytime I replace something I find something else that needs fixing.

It's a never ending story with a car thats 20 years old.

I don't mind spending 16k importing a well looked after 34 with low km.

if you save up just a little more you can get a 34GTR Ive seen a few oing around 28000 from Japland. I imported mine and honestly the condition was better than all the one i had looked at. Things may have changed now with the market

:laugh:NEO is appealing.

yeah thats fair enough, plus the neo head is appealing. Get some real wheels for your next car though....

haha........i got vs xx's brand new delivered to my door for 2k i had to wait though.

Yeah I love those wheels.. If they were 1800 I might consider it in the future.. But all the ones I can find are around 3 grand lol... Far to expensive for my liking :(

    • Given you're running a 2.8 and my 2.5 is not really like for like, I suspect there could be a bit more timing you could give it. What is the kW yield per degree you're putting through it? Here's my E85 map to give you an idea, where it was I could still get another 3~4kW per degree thrown at it.  
    • It turns out that Setrab make a fan specifically for the oil cooler which is great and I've installed it with minimal swearing. I removed my 2x 12in push fans from the front of my aircon condenser and wired them into this. My main thermo fans kick on when I use the aircon anyway and would effectively already be working as puller fans through the condensor which is infront of the rad. The push fans (understandably) didn't really do much in the config they were previously in so now they're out. Now we're on to the "Oil fan doesn't really do much either!". Yes I'll duct it next if it does nothing in heavy use which it shouldn't. But hey, the object exists and fits great and is cool. Let me have this. The car is still in the "do my fittings leak oil now? do my wheels actually rub?" phase. I did a spirited drive on them and didn't hear or feel anything. Then I got back home and noticed there were grind marks on the inside of the rims, though I couldn't see where they were touching I got out the grinder and attacked the suspects. Note: I do not know how to use a grinder. Then I realised I had dragged my new rims across my concrete driveway before I did this drive. I didn't think I had damage at that time when I briefly looked...... but remembered this occurred after I did all the angle grinding. The grinding on the wheels in some very specific spots. It's not around the whole rim for example, which lines up with dragging it across concrete more than hitting a suspension component for even 1 full rotation. So everything is currently painted and taped up and I need to test it some more to see if it really IS rubbing, but from inside the car it doesn't feel like it is. In other news I attempted to do a before and after comparison of the heads/cam upgrade thing. Dynos lie, everything is in different measurements. Here is the data from the sandown back straight. Car go faster than before. Vroom vroom.
    • Here's my base ignition. +3 correction to redline when shooting water/meth which is always on. Looking at my old ignition table, I should be able to add 1-2 degree's next time I'm on the dyno.  Let me know your thoughts. 
    • Given what I know now - same haha, but this was 12 years ago with second hand 740cc Nismo injectors in my S15 daily, I was too busy hunting elsewhere for the issue to even look at the injectors, running through some cleaner was a happy coincidence haha
    • Not a terrible idea. But if I ever had concerns that my injectors were sufficiently dirty to be causing me a problem, they would be out of the engine and onto the actual injector cleaner/testing bench.
