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.

      Could you modify this duct so instead it pushes the extra air through the radiator too and not down and out? For temps, I know it's not the greatest idea, but as a bit of a last resort, you could use a very intermittent misting spray onto the front of the coolers/rad. You don't want to be soaking them such that water is dripping off, but a small most on/off so that the water evaporates. That point of it constantly evaporating, rather than being soaked in water, will pull a LOT of heat out of the cooler. I'm literally thinking just the little mist sprayers for a garden from Bunnings. Being in a low humidity climate it will help even more! The other trick if you want to be ghetto is some shade cloth hung in the opening, and keep it wet. Pretty much now it's acting like an evap cooler on a house, but cooling the air you need to use to cool the radiator...   On a topic to think about too though, when air enters through the bumper, is it all nicely ducted from the edges of that opening back at a nice angle, or is it like most cars, and the edge of the opening just stops, and suddenly it's wayyy wider behind that? If it does the later, get it shrouded out at nice angles. When that opening changes too rapidly, it can actually cause a high pressure zone between the front bar and radiator, and limit air flow into that area, which means less air for cooling, as it effectively stalls the air, AND adds to drag...

      It doesn't look like there's a lot of options out there these days, and what's out there is performance oriented aftermarket stuff (with the GTR markup) I wonder if there are other cars with similar springs, after all its just a matter of length, diameter and stiffness. Alternatively, I did see coil spacers. Probably not the best option, but could be serviceable too.
