by ReubenH on 22-05-08 11:46 PM Hey all, i've been lurking on here for damn ages, thought i should get into it. I'm from Auckland, and normally post on the clubsub.org.nz forums, I've got a 98 GTB Ltd which i rebuilt, and single turbo converted last month, and things are running bloody sweet as. The rebuild was with a closed deck 2L, JE pistons, scat rops, ARP head studs, built by Possum Bourne Motorsport. Got a few extra tid bits on it too, like a baffled sump, and a split fuel rail, and i converted it to an STi version 3 engine basically, and used a VF39 Single scroll... which pulls haaard |

You know it ![]() Only exterior mod i want is to get is some lower springs. I'm convinced the previous owner in japan got it some lift springs, it is literally the highest GTB i've ever seen. I'm wanting to learn a bit more about the AUDM models... Did you guy's get the "Gen-II" Twin turbo's? So far all the single turbo conversion threads i've seen have been converted from N/A's..... |

Hey, no such thing as AUDM models, we only got Gen 1 / 3 & 4 turbo liberty's here so anything Gen 2 you see in Aus is either a full import Legacy or a Liberty conversion like mine. |

by d_generate on 25-05-08 12:51 PM I think each state may have different rules but it's much easier to get older cars in I.E. pre 90 or over 15yrs old (not too sure) for rego, and if you want something newer you have to own & prove that you drove it for a year over seas before you can bring it in as a personal import & have full rego, you can bring whatever you like as long as it's for track work only & get limited B rego to drive to events or mechanic.
