Well just to let people know that JMS will be back in the next few months. It will be under new MANAGMENT but they have new stock coming in late this month and should be opening next month.

It is on the JMS web site.

I thought it got sold a long white back? At least a year.

im assuming your talking bout the white gtr33 of their's. If so, im sure it did but was just asking if n1gtr33 owns it now. As ive seen the exact same one all the time in the unley area when im down there. Only thing that it was missing are the stickers.

Quote from a user from ns.com

"Hey Guys

Well here is everthing explained in black and white.

The JMS Name and web address where bought by a mate of mine here in Gawler who has been doing small import stuff for years and was involved with JMS back in the early days. His name is Ben Stack his dad Bernie Stack is involved in alot of the classic rallies here in SA and the Targa tasman. Bernie is also a owner of Gawler Bodyworks Crash Repairers. Bernie also owns our building where i work.

Ben will be operating just as a web based company for the time being and slowly build himself up. I will be helping him out with a few things here and there as basically he is going to operate out of our workshop here at GraphiX.

Ben has two cars here atm which are for sale a complied cefiro and the uncomplied (will be complied) skyline that you most probably saw at autosalon. He also has a container of engines and other bits coming soon so keep a watch on the site to see when it gets here.

Also as for the old JMS premises well 'BULLIVANTS' a cable and rigging company will be moving in their so no more skids "

Well you said it good luck to the new owner.

And No I don't own the White GTR I can't even remember my colour it has been so long. I should go and fire the old girl up and make sure it still run's.

The white one was in Tilbrooks not that long ago. Don't know who owns it.

      There is a way, but it's not with the same cars. You need to find the same vintage of car, that we had. Realistically, that was an affordable car with aftermarket parts around. So what people need to find is a car that had a decent base in its day, and can be modified. They're looking for a car year make of 2010 to 2015 really... Aus could have done it if Holden didn't fold as V8 commodores were cheap, and if Ford didn't get expensive thanks to COVID, then you could cheaply play with FG Barras. Realistically, those are just a bit heavier, four door skylines. I'm sure the US and UK have similar cars they could find.

      Greg speaks wisdom. These dirty old Datsuns are only value when they are cheap. When they are not cheap, there is no value. Sounds contradictory, but it's true. We are now 20 years past the hey day of modifying cheap 90s JDM cars for small amounts of money. This is a different world. If you are rich and can afford not to care about what is effectively wasting money on an old Datto shitter, then I have no reason to argue against it. But if you are wanting to experience what we all experienced back in 2005 (and I bought my car last century!) then there is no way to do it.

      Short answer: No. Medium answer: No, because you still need to conjure the things out of thin air to bolt them to a NA to make it a NA+T. Long Answer: No - The things you need to conjure - meaning a turbo, intercooling, manifolds, exhaust, intake/manifold/piping, clutch, injectors, fuel pump, AFM (?), ECU + Wiring (woo, N/A loom fun) have to come from somewhere. You could have many scavenged these things from an OEM car that someone had upgraded from and use some of these. This will be cost prohibitive now, especially so in the USA. You'd probably pay the same for newer, upgraded components that are better than old OEM stuff from 25-30 years ago. None of these big ticket items are re-usable for the N/A car. Why not buy new and upgrade while you're there? The only real consideration is turbo and fuel sizing and determining whether you want to stay within the bounds of the OEM engine or get into rebuild territory. These limits ARE lower with a N/A motor and especially N/A gearbox at the starting point. And if you're gonna upgrade those then you may as well consider having them built to begin with. Because everyone here knows you're never far from that next engine rebuild once you start making the power you want... The cars you see on the internet and SAU etc have been built over decades. If you're really clued in... you would sell your US car to somebody for what you paid for it. You would then scour AU JDM pages or SAU and buy a car like Dose's on this forum with your powerful American Dollar. This will save you so much money in the long term. Importing it could be tricky. Or it might not because USA. I have long said the only reason 90's Japanese stuff took off was because a) Japanese people had Japanese cars so that is what they used b) Australians could import these cars to Australia with very minimal changes and use them on the road here c) Neither country had well-priced access to US or EU Sports Cars. I don't believe the JDM scene would have taken off in Australia at all if we had EU priced EU BMW M offerings, or more especially the AUS V8 Scene would never have existed if we had the multitude of US cars like Camaros, Mustangs, Corvettes at the prices you folks do. After all - Do the math. I would say put a V8 in your R34 and that's the smart way forward. It is. I did it. I know this from my own experience. But at that point there's no reason to simply not buy a C5 or C6? It would be simpler and easier and cheaper and bette-

      Reading all this... hurts lol. I have an ENR34 5MT and I paid an inflated USA price for the car alone, had to do tons of preventative maintenance past that, and so I'm over $30K USD into the car already and haven't even touched power.  I wanted to +t it. Not even trying to make GTR numbers, I'd be happy with 250hp.  Can I get away with paying much less to make that happen?
