Hi
My name is Mick and I like long walks on the beach, Whoops wrong Forum

Seriously my name is Mick
well I just bought a 2000 N73wg RvR which was on gumtree a couple weeks ago and already have been told parts are not available for it twice

So what I want to know is where do I get parts for it from and before you ask 1.Aerial 2. Diff bushes 3. Chrome strip on front bumper ( runs down on the inside of the lights and is about 150 wide )

also will a evo 8 dump fit ?

Cheers Michael

One is being wrecked now on ebay. Don't know what parts are left though. Yes your model is much rearer in oz than the 95-97 models, but have seen quite a few for sale across the ditch in NZ.

Probably different size in and out on turbo dump

Hi mate, and welcome

I haven't seen any examples of your model around the place at all. I did see that one on gummy though and they look like an interesting car, but I'm not sure anyone here has one to compare and sort out local equivalent

part numbers if there are many of them for the chassis. Fingers crossed someone will know.

Give us a pic of the rear end setup. Maybe someone recognises it.
Turbo numbers compared to evo numbers will help with the dump fitting.

So what is the rvr like to drive? The gear shift appears to be elevated like a commercial work van. Power wise?? Visibility when reversing? Cheers.

I owned a evo 7 rs2 with cams and verso for 6 years but sold due to the evils of life and family so in comparison its slow :unsure: I swapped the RvR for a 1jzgte mx83 cressida which pulled harder but I like having handling and a car that not everyone has one of ( until you gotta buy parts for it )
the gearshift doesn't feel any different from driving any manual cars but I haven't changed gears quick to see if it compares to the Evo I owned
Visibility is not to bad

Plans are turbo off evo upgraded
Hks dump
Profec B boost Controller
tune ( maybe e85 AND 98 )
Coil overs and handling upgrades
front mount
and evo 10 rims

and it already has a brake upgrade at front ( unsure what brand)

Check out Japan yahoo auctions on importmonster.com.au

Type in your rvr model number under the auto section.

Good luck

What EVO 10 rims are you chasing? Got some factory rims you might be interested in.

 

[Michael Shelley]

Not really sure just want something that looks better
Let me know what you got

what style are they or pic and whereabouts are you located

 

[GeoKez]

Quick and the dead mate. Someone else saw the post and swooped. TMR sell the stock GSR enkei for $370ish. Another guy here in Perth selling a set for $500 on gumtree, 1 needs repair.
