OT: What car next??
for the 15+ import rule, the car doesn't need to be complied, just need to comply with a few basic normal rules, that cost less than 1000 to do, rather the 4-6k that newer cars cost to do, becuase of the rule but right now with the new SEVS rules, they havnt giving any place the compliance plates and licenses to comply cars, which is stuffingg alot of people around.. but soon you will be able to import newer cars, but they have to be completly standerd to be complied... looks like i am buying the 200zr, should be in the driveway by next week or the week after hopefully, i'll get some pictures up soon, needs some minor things for RWC, such as rear diff mount, and some basic brake stuff done/../.

What can be done to the L26
well this is what i had on my L26, and it went aright for what it had i had 240z carbs with k&N filters 6-2-1 extractors and 2 1/4inch exhaust electronic distributer (skyline one i had) R200 3.9 ratio rear diff 5spd box and the engine was fully rebuilt, so it was quite strong the engine wasn't fantastic, KW wise, but basically i killed any auto v6 commodore around, i even gave a good go to auto VN SS, but it had me at the top end.. over 140 id say it had around the 80-90RWKW mark, and was aright for what it was... it matters on what power you want, if you want anything over the 150rwkw mark, go for a rb engine, as it would be more worthwhile and more driveable, even a good rb20det with boost, cooler, and exhaust will get u 150rwkw no problem, but for a N/A L28 to get there, you need headwork, balancing, better ignition, a big cam, and possibly triple webbers, and it would be sucking fuel, but would sound cool.. hehe and it would still cost around 4-5k to build a good engine with that sort of power.. just matters on what ur budget is, and what u want from ur car..

OT: What car next??
don't want a AE92 they are FWD... would consider a AW11 MR2, but they are 2 seaters, and rather get another Z 2 seater than a MR2 2 seater, I am most properly getting the 200zr, check is hopefully coming in by friday, then i'll be giving the guy a deposit, and making him get a RWC, and everything will be all sorted

Thennnn.. i have the best solution for ya... Buy my Hatch, so then you have 2 hatches one with the wing and one without, youd need to get the wing painted anyway... then it will all be sorted.. haha.. i know you'd love to do that, but i know you don't have the cash either.. hehe

OT: What car next??
Yer i told ya already gav, that i will buy one again soon, but not as my next car... and i an't buying a $^!# heap 120y or watever and driving it around, as like you said for the wank factor and also, i just don't want to spend $500 bucks on a shitty 120y... The sprinter i love, they look resonably good, but i wouldn't buy one unless it was wayy cheap like 1500, for a stock aust spec one, or it had a 100kw 4age or a 4agze, then i'll be having some fun... i know they handle like crayz thats why i wouldnt mind having one, but i also just the straight line speed, reason why i'm not fully contemplating this, and also don't come with lsd unless its modified then i'll be looking at over 6k anyway... the power factor is becuase, personally i like to drive fast, and slapping it thought the gears and getting wheel spin, and kicking the arse around and doing a few dori style, when i had skinny tyres on the Z it would do it no problem.. and surprisingly quite well and stayed out a while also.. I'll be checking the 200zr out again tommorrow after i finish work, hopefully its not raining

OT: What car next??
i don't have any pictures of the actaul 200zr.... but i've got a picture of a white one from japan, massive hood scope for the intercooler... unfortunately it isn't the Califonian edition, also it doesn't weigh like a barge, the KG is 1280 for the 200zr, the normal Z31 with all the luxury BS is like 1390 or 1430 for the auto as for the oldish stuff and imperfections of the 200zr, in the example i am looking at, there isn't many imperfections, the interoir is perfect, engine is strong, body has no imperfections, and i wash my cars regulary, its just a thing i do, so a black car won't be a pain for me, just a tad more of a challange.. also T-tops is the main advantage coming from the 200zr.. also easy swap for a Rb25det engine also... and i understand with all your other reasons, the exact same reasons why i susgested them, but also the exact same reason why i don't think i will buy one... i would love a R32 gtst, but they go for around 13-15k for a car that is already here and complied which is out of my budget... damn bummer... also i know this 200zr hasn't been trashed, the owner is quite the iregular owner for the car.. he was showing me that it makes cow noises rather than how good the turbo spools up,

Japanese Ebay
You can talk to a few jap import wreckers and see if they can help you But basically, i have enquired about buying a 510 2 door which had a Sr20det from japan and importing here, i found one and asked a import place to import it for me, but they didn't want to touch it as it was on a auction and can't look at the car etc, and some other BS... but you can email prestigemotorsport.com.au or j-spec.com.au or http://www.hikariperformance.com/ - these people deal more with used jap performance parts, so might be able to help you a bit more..

OT: What car next??
OK, so people have read my post about my car being stolen and found burnt, if you havn't check the australian forum and my post is in there etc... Welll I Know 3-5 differant types of cars that i would want to own, differant price range, but basically i don't want a sedan or nothing un sporty with great handling,. like my Z was, can't stand driving a family car, even if it has grunt as its just not me... My main criteria is a bit of grunt, great handling and looks are just as important, i'm not going to buy another Z, as the next Z i buy is going to be the best i can find, and don't have the $$$ to do that at this time... basically i want a car that i can have as much fun as i did with my Z but have LSD stock and turbo... also has to have 4 seats, as if i'm not buying a Z better have more than 2 seats... must be manual and RWD.... any opinions on the cars below or more suggestions... are very much appreciated.... of course i am in australia, i do have a budget, but matters what i want to spend etc, and don't want to blow the budget and be in debt etc... My options 93 S13 Silvia 5spd SR20det import, LSD stock 150kw huge tuning potential, cost around 10k, but i'll be borrowing money, and not really having $$ to relise that potential 86 Z31 200zr Black with Targa, 200zr suspension, so its sports car handling, 5spd NICS rb20det import,LSD stock good tuning potential, cost is 4.2k, have a few g spare to do a few mods etc, to get it up to the power that i would like it to be, but is also a oldish car, but this one is been cared for 136 original K's, Currently this is my favorite 87-88 Z31 300zx aust spec, vg30et 5spd, most have high K's and don't have LSD, but do have 150kw for around the 5-7k mark, and is very tuneable engine... but old engine so possible problems 87 R31 Skyline 2 door Rb20det NICS 5spd, LSD, cost around 6.5k, same engine as 200zr but differant body etc, havnt looked at this car yet, was going to on saturday, but i know these cars, but i havn't read much about there handling etc AE86 Toyota sprinter, possibly with a 4agze, but aust spec come with a shitty 4ac which is like 86kw=crap, but great handling car, but no LSD stock, cult car as the Z is also... but are expensive for what spec they are in australia, hard to find a rust free example also... or i can wait till next year and import a 89 model R32 GTST for around the 10-12k, or a MA70 supra twin turbo for around 9k, or a 89 300zxTT 2+2 5spd for around the same price... and i was also thinking of a VL turbo, which has a Rb30et and definatly get a 5spd, but again $^!# handling, and are way to expensive for the year and quality of build, but they are a nissan motor... and are all thrashed by younger drivers... if you havn't relised, yes i love my nissans, and not realllly sure about other types of cars, a few toyotas, EDIT: i just relised how much i wrote.. dang it
