Pentae that looks like a BEAUTIFUL car! I'm going interstate for three months at the start of next year, and consequently had time pressure to find a car... I saw your car come up a few weeks after I paid for mine! Argh, if only I could have waited! They are both the same spec/condition by the looks of it, but I would have preferred black! (to gunmetal)

Great car!

Mark

I don't know how much you have spoken to Geoff, but I touch base every week or ten days - the latest news is that he's not sure who/how many will get on this (promised) NYK vessel. If you like, you can have your vehicle moved to another port, and try for Kiwi, but there are no guarantees it'll make it elsewhere. If we were better informed about what ports are moving cars + all the current (read: accurate) shipping scheds, it may be worthwhile, but in our case, patience looks like the order of the day. Port transfer would cost around $300-$400.

Mark: Thanks mate!! I saw your gunmetal grey one when I was shopping as well but have always had my heart set on a black one. You can always get a respray :)

Phatr32: Nice looking car! its got tinted blue lights as well.. I wonder how they did that...

Well guys at least while we're waiting for our cars we have SAU to keep us occupied!

does anyone know where to get the cliear corner winkers? I know it seems rice but I think they tidy up the front end alot

mine could be leaving on the 20th at the moment, but the ship is overbooked & I won't know for sure just yet. waiting on confirmation

For R32 GT-Rs? They only supplier is D-speed, and they cost far too much IMHO.

got an email today, mine is on a ship (i knew that already, but now i have proper confirmation)

Hurrah!!! The ship is "The Hachinohe Bay" and it should be arriving on the 13th December.

Now i gotta go resit my license test so i can drive a manual legally when it arrives :)

Mark (and others) would you happen to have an 'after' pic? I've seen them advertised, but never on a car.

There has been a longish thread about them in the past:

Moral of this story: I wish my car was on a boat. :)

For those of you who HAVE been confirmed that their car made it onto a ship, on what date did you finalise payment for your car, and what port was it sent from?

My car arrived in Brisbane about 3 weeks ago.

It spent a week on the docks.

It's spent two weeks at the compliance place.

It's going to a mechanic for a full once-over after that.

It better be on the road before Christmas! :rofl:

i just got my 91 soarer took me 3 weeks to get it to aus then another 2 months to get it on the road. shows how much the government and customs are slowing things down

    • Is the panel filter one that is oiled? Have you ever cleaned or touched the AFM?
    • So.... the K&N air box thingo was too big, ended up gifting it to a mate, well, by gifting it he actually supplied food and beer at the pub,  which was nice, as it will not sit on a shelf in the garage for the next 10 years I did trim up some of the existing stuff to neaten it all up and gave it some wrinkle paint, unfortunately it currently has a used and abused mish mash of different types of hose clamps, 4 big fat T bolt type (shit), and a few normal clamps of vairing sizes and brands, but..... only until the 6 constant tension black worm clamps that I ordered from EFI solutions turn up next week Currently the current hose clamps are triggering me hard, LOL Is this the final version, probably not, I really want just 2 silicone pieces, a straight bit of silicone from the filter to the MAF is easy and will happen as soon as I head into Just Jap tomorrow, the problematic part is a 30° silicone bend from the MAF to the TB that I can connect the engine breather from the head, I found that there are bulk head fittings for boat bilge pumps that should work, but until I can get a 30° silicone bend the alloy pipe, and the 11ty thousand hose clamps, are there for the foreseeable future 4 hose clamps are golden, 6 are grudgingly acceptable, the 8 currently holding it all together is just taking the piss    I've also ordered 60 more retaining wall blocks for the front yard, I mis-gonculated the height that was required to get above the base of the Photinia's (red robin's) that are the hedge behind the front fence, currently it is 2 blocks high, and about 1/2 a block short, so going 3 blocks high will be above the base of the red robin's, and allow some room for mulch
    • It is the stock air box with the panel filter. Everything else is stock except the exhaust at this point, as I also went back to the cleaned 270cc injectors. I will check the RPM when the IACV is unplugged and report back.
    • As MBS suggested if this is happening when the engine is cold you're going to want to remove the intake air regulator and verify resistance + that the shutter is physically opening and closing. At -20C should be fully open, 20C half open, over 60C fully closed. At 20C should be 70-80 ohms. For AAC valve testing using a Consult cable see if you can raise and lower the idle by commanding more or less AAC duty cycle. Hopefully it's pretty linear as well, shouldn't be like 30% AAC valve is barely idling and 40% is 1500 rpm.
