hey, i dont think you should import, as you will not know the condition of the car until it arrives. fair enough u will save some money, but best to buy one locally if you know exactly what condition of car you want. its not like there is no choice locally...

once again ill mention, in pics cars always look good. even if the paint was shit in real life it will look good in pictures.

since that car was complied under the new system i very much doubt it would have been in an accident, so i would not worry about that.

so yeah, dont import if u are picky with condition, also who wants to wait months....

its just that ive been hearing bad things about the guy selling it...thats not something you want to hear when there is the chance that you'll be giving him $17k

also, everyone keeps telling me how much choice there is. the truth is, if you want a white car, you're set! there's so many to choose from its not funny (its really not funny, it shits me!)

i wanted a black series 2 with good kms. not so low that they're bs, but not so high that the cars on the way out. manual. not worked off its head. doesnt have holes n shit drilled everywhere for gauges etc....

there really isnt as much choice as everyone would like to think

i can understand if u want a black one, they are not common at all, i have only seen a couple around..

just got check out that red car and see how that goes before getting worried!

you dont even need to wind back you can just change the speedometer over out of a crashed one that had low k's at the time of its crash. so you can never be gauranteed of k's. but just driving the car will let you know. drive a few before pruchasing. thats the best way then you will feel what good ones and bad ones drive like.

      R32 Nostalgia

      From my youth: GTi-R clutch change is a massive pain. The gearboxes are fragile? But the car is super cool and I want one 馃槩

      Driveline vibration is resolved. I ended up loosening all my engine mount and trans mount bolts, giving it a good shake then retightening everything and it's gone... Let's just say I was surprised that fixed it.  I've been happily driving it around again but unfortunately put zero time into my direct port/constant pressure WMI setup. I'm on vacation next week, so I'll try and finalize it then.  On a different note, I spent all week fuel/ignition mapping 2x 216L V16 engines. Turbo's were burning glycol and we swapped them out for larger units. We also had planned emissions testing on site, so I figured I'd be there the same week to use their instrumentation and massage any emissions issues out if needed. This was a first for me. Fuel management is similar in certain ways to automotive (i.e air density as load variable) but very different in others. It's all PLC based and AFR's are controlled by air and not fuel. They use a control valve between the turbo and air manifold to control pressure which in turn controls AFR's. Due to this, target AFR tables supplied by the OEM are in pressures and not mass which really through me off. They use air pressure vs fuel pressure tables. I also relied on an O2 concentration sensor the emissions team had in the exhaust. Ignition timing was also all over the place and we were losing a fair bit of power. They're now happily sitting at 16-40BTDC depending on load. We were making about 1600kw at 900rpm at 90% load. Engines were running a lot smoother as well.

      Oil pan for RB25DET NEO Stagea "version"

      By Duncan 路 Posted

      meh, it was a good video, clear about the issue and how he dealt with it. A bit heavy on the RTV and very brave to put an RB in anything without rebuilding it first, but otherwise I thought it was good Dose, I'm not sure that having the pickup forward is a big issue; yes of course the oil could shift under brakes but the sump should never be empty enough for that to be a problem (unless you also have a higher volume oil pump, and that oil can't return from the head to the sump quickly enough)
