The stock electronic boost control solenoid should be able to be used. Jaycar are selling an electronic boost controller that hooks up to the existing solenoid, so its possible. Not exactly sure how they work but i'd say it just alters the voltage and stuff.. Here's the link to it: http://www1.jayca...

Yep, there's still cars being imported but its limited. Currently you can bring in any car that was built before Jan '89. Anything later then that must go through the Specialist and Enthusiast Vehicle Scheme (SEVS). Only certain cars can be imported such as the Skyline r33, r34, Soarers, Pulsar GTiR...

That article is over a year old. The rules were changed very recently - last month was the cutoff. It sucks big time, all the good cars were just starting to come in like the mistu GTO's and Honda NSX's and many more.  >:( :'(

The 15 year import rule has just recently changed in Aus so you can't get city turbos anymore.  The cars themselves were pretty cheap but the shipping, import duties and compliancing was what made things expensive.

For other cars though i recommend http://www.meisei.com.au

Just go to an exhaust shop and get them to make you up a pipe. It shouldnt cost you much.

Just to add to it! ;D

Yeah i'm keen for that. Havent gotten around to going to a Honda meet yet, so i'll try make the next one.

Because i'm in brisbane :P  But they're pretty nasty here though, its getting up around $1.10/L for premium.. and they say its ...

While we're on the subject, here's my new ride:




Anyone know what it is??

Here's one of the original threads that has alot of info in it: http://www.cityturbo.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.cgi?board=GEN;action=display;num=1066134956

Boostcut is around 15-16psi, and you're hitting that at 4-5000rpm, so if you just get a fuel cut defender it will let it keep boosting until you lean out then it could go bang.  It sounds like your wastegate isnt opening properly, so you wont have any control over your boost , it will keep going up....
