Hello SAU.

This is my first post.

Just starting to get the skyline bug now. I currently own a Version 1 Subaru Impreza Wrx Sti in Silver and i will be moving out to North Perth in December.

I will be hoping to purchase a Skyline either from Perth or Imported. Though if i cant find one then i will probably stick to Scoobies.

Is there any websites for Jap Importers around Perth?

I am after a r34 GT T. Though i am not to sure if these are availible in Australia.

Can anybody help?

Mad Scot

All the way from the Isle of Man (TT Races)

g'day scot,

another couple of places are:

http://www.japanautodirect.com/

http://www.perthcars.com

Thats fantastic guys,

i was over in Perth last November at a place called Mindarie Keys. Absolutely loved the place!

I couldnt help notice all the rubber trails and doughnuts in car parks, which distinctly resembled the aftermath of drifting marks?

Is this common place in your homeland?

The only good thing about living on the Isle of Man is the TT races where crazy bikers race around the Island on 37.5 miles of open roads. Plus the other good thing is that we dont have a national speed limit on the island, which is great for seeing what power your car really has.

Though there must be hundreds of events for Drifting, shows and meets in WA?

We have a few car shows a year - like Auto Salon etc where there are dyno comps and show'n'shine comps.

Drifting isnt really big here yet - there are lots of other motorsport events such as MC (like Motor Kahna), hill climbs, track racing and drags. There is more of a focus on V8 car racing in Australia rather than japanese import car motorsport. But it is getting more popular! V8's are the performance car of choice with most Australians (ie Holden and Ford).

Those black strips you saw were more than likely caused by 'trevs' in V8's just doing burnouts to impress their mates :)

I bought my GTT from AutoWholesale on the causeway there (psst - Cazisk, reckon mine was sitting next to yours when I picked it out :) ). There's no doubt I could have saved $$ going the import route, but hell, I'm impulse driven, what can I say!!

Oh, first post btw. Hey all, wassuuup!! =D

@Cazisk: Hehe I could tell by looking at you list of mods. ;P I paid 34k on the road for mine, but the only mods at the time were the GTR style front and rear bars.

@GTS-t VSPEC: Sounds interesting. Check your box.. :) BTW theres a few pix behind my sigpic iffin' you wanna clicky..

    • A 1.5 way is a 2 way. It is just a 2 way with a less aggressive ramp on overrun.
    • The ABS and/or TCS being missing/broken will not cause the engine to misbehave. It just casues CEL to come on and annoy you. The CEL is useless if it is always on, so you have to do the things you have to do to get rid of it, so it can be useful. Being a Stag ECU, then yes, it will not expect TCS to be present. But it will expect ABS to be present and working. You will need to either make the ABS CU talk to the ECU (don't ask me what that will take on an NA R34), and make sure the hardware is working....or, you just need to blank it out in Nistune. Do not persist with the stock ECU. You will just have problems. Gte it Nistuned. Start from there. DO YOU HAVE A BOOST SENSOR? The ECU's boost sensor that it. It is connected to the loom at the rear of the coil cover. Usually rides on the firewall on an R34, but is usually bolted down to a bracket along with all the other crap at the back of the coil cover when a Neo is dropped into another car. If you do not have it, the ECU will shit the bed. So, do you have one?
    • So sadly the fuel pump etc was not it. The pump and filter is new and it is still cutting around 4000 rpm. A read something about ABS/TCS (engine is from stagea and ECU too so no TCS) and i dont know for 100% that my car has ABS. It has ABS "cube" in engine bay but i dont think it works(or at least from my braking experience). Can be something like that?  I will be driving the car next week to Nistune tuner to properly see what is wrong...  
    • the Tomei LSD fluid with lsd kit. frustrated that it was shaking the car to crap and affecting everything else negatively, I pulled the diff last night, and removed the lsd carrier, could not find anything wrong, however it seem to be 100 locked up acceleration, and deacceleration, wondering if they sent me a 2 way not a 1.5??  either way I installed the stock open carrier back in place. test drove everything smooth as butter again. no shake, shutter, random, what felt like clutch slip and grab or drive shaft play, etc. something differently wrong in side the lsd. I might bother taking it apart (if possible) to figure out what's going on inside this carrier, as bought too long ago to return.  only draw back is its back to a one wheel wonder.
