Henry O'Grady Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) Hello UKSO, Currently waiting on arrival of my newly imported grade 3.5 GT Turbo to Australia Upon purchase better pictures were supplied, pre-shipping. It could do with some love. While I've been waiting for it to arrive I've gathered a few bits. GTX2860r : Haltech Elite 1000: 5E-FHE : Some items are also in transit from our friends at @wickedep and @Idrees at ID-WORKZ. Current hold up is waiting on a M9 spline socket for the head though, (should be here tomorrow). Then I can get this engine disassembled and cleaned up and looked over. Any comments, criticism and advice welcomed 🤙 H Edited April 5, 2020 by Henry O'Grady Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JamesD89 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Im jealous mate, silver ones seem to be very rare now. Looks like you have plenty to keep you busy once she arrives too. Best of luck with it and please keep us updated. James Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SKINY Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Very nice and rare in silver fuel tank seams look like the 1st job to do, cant get new tanks now and 2nd hand are nearly impossible to find, have a good look round the rear sill area too and the sills in general, the bodykit loves to hide rust behind it enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sam44 Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 It does look so clean. I'm very tempted to get a fresh import GT mk2 quadlight. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If you do hit me up I'll give you a few pointers on the import side of things. I made a few oversights that cost a few $ and could have been avoided.

Also a €500 fee for the importer I went through, a couple of hurdles and tax for the Australian government which I'm going through at the moment. Yea the engine was a nice pick-up, I took it out of a auto Sera that was braking locally. Interesting to see how it matches upto the 4e-fte. Cam caps, springs and the likes Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Calum122 Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 Amazing you can still get these from Japan! Got to be a rarity these days. I really love how it's still original. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
