    Hey Guys Im pretty new here, new to QLD too. Name is Sam, I have a white R32 GTR V-Spec hanging round Carindale. Looking into membership and keen to get involved in a few members events and so forth. Cheers
  2. Wondering where in Brisbane I should go for a new exhaust for my gtr? southside preferable
  3. Hey Guys im calling on the experts that really know their stuff I recently bought a 1993 r32 Vspec 1 and had a major service on it today. The mechanic has told me its an Autech tuned V spec (which had him puzzled for a while) i havent been able to find any info on such a model. I thought it was just a stock v-spec, it still has a standard exhaust. The mechanic has a good rep (Godzilla Motorsport QLD), the obvious differences (from a standard v spec) so far are the ohlins suspension, nismo dash and an air freshener on the parcel shelf controled from the console. I am the first aussie to register the vehicle and its been well looked after. Do you guys know if this is a real model or just after market parts from the previous owner? Im waiting to find out if the turbos are stock as its still in the shop (new clutch going in) and will have serial numbers tomorrow. Cheers
  4. I took these quickly yesterday on my iphone 3g, so not great quality but i thought id put them up
  5. well it was god dam awesome, still cant get over how quick it was and its stock. Im picking it up monday and i will post pictures. Thanks everyone for the help. Now you wont get me of this forum
  6. got the vin, i hope 6U9000BNR32302965 thanks
  7. Well i think i have found the car for me. thank you all for your input its been really usefull. After 3 months of searching im having a test drive today in a 1993 V-spec. Completely original and stock, even the exhaust. It was a compliance car and hasnt done anything but sit still for 12 months due to the legal requirements. The car is very clean, no centre gauge cluster due to double din cd player. Its from a dealer and has a 12 month warranty which im sure will be very limited. The interior is very clean with wear and tear considering age but well kept (no tears, pedals and wheel not that worn at all). After really good advice and pointers from Mark Berry (if you dont know him youtube search his name and you will see his 400kw monster) the car is ticking alot of boxes. The test drive today will be the last chance it has to disappoint me but at this stage it isnt cheap considering its stock but i feel i have found a good clean example. It will suit me as a daily and weekend cruiser and i can slowly do what i want to it over time. Very excited as i could take posesion by monday afternoon, but im going to put it through the usual tests today to make sure. ill let you all know the result
  8. Well thats a start, ill get the vin number tomorrow when i drive it. any idea what i should be paying for V spec 1 thats a fresh import with no aussie owners, 92k on the clock stock.
  9. Hey all KBNR32RBFSAA test driving in the morning and want to make sure its a v spec, the wheels and brakes check out but want to be sure thanks alot
  10. paragraphs check. lesson 1 thanks for the advice, its helping me keep my head straight and not rush my purchase. I have recently found a 1992 GTR the sticker price is slightly out of my range but i hope to negotiate this down. Its stock unfortunately apart from an exhaust but the reason i like it is because its so tidy. 116k on the clock, v spec kit, white, r34 gtr rims. The exterior meets exactly how i want my car to look and thats appealing because then i can just concentrate on getting the engine right. This is only the second car in 3 months that has met my strict expectations on the outside. This may seem irrelevant to some but it would be money i would save down the track. It seems turbos, crank and oil pump are the first nescesary moves and i know this will cost. As well i want the brembos, i hate cars that dont pull up. The car is with a dealer and comes with 12 month warranty, its a fresh import untouched by aussies, not to say that the japanese rigorously look after their vehicles. If i was to keep the engine stock, work on suspension and so forth would it be better to consider an engine swap down the track rather then losing money starting scratch. I dont want to let this one go if it checks out when i go for a test drive and look it over seriously, but am i making an ametaure mistake?
  11. Hi Guys Im new to this and im sorry if this isnt the appropriate place to post, hopefully i learn quick. But i would really appreciate some experienced advice. Its been long dream to buy and own a r32 gtr and im finally in a position to make a choice. Ive spent so much time reading this and that to better prepare myself for the world of skyline ownership. I held back and got myself through uni and now into a solid full time career so that i have steady income as cars only cost money full stop. Its not a matter of crying wolf and im very decided on this vehicle for long term ownership. Im now at the point of searching for the right vehicle, but its such a crucial decision i dont want to get wrong. My question is am i better off buying a modified skyline and when i say modified i mean reasonably built (i have been seriousy looking at cars over 300kw, with the right suspension, brakes etc to match), not just bolt ons or will i be safer with something only slightly touched. I dont have the deep pockets initially and this car will be a daily drive so i worry about a modified car which will tend to be molestered could just cost me too much when things break. I intend to put the car on tracks and modify to my hearts content so a car with a good base would save me money. But on the other hand im finding it so hard to find good examples of looked after vehicles and even harder to trust what owners say about them, the best looked after cars seem to be the ones in reasonably stock condition. Im sure there will be problem after problem the more things you change and tweak and i only hear of how much a nightmare they can be, not really wanting this to happen to me what should i do? ive started to lean towards v spec models, though harder to find they tend to better maintained. The brembos stock are a plus and a better tuned attesa sound attractive. Any criticism and knowledge you can offer would be great, but i would prefer experienced knowledge not people who just think they know what they are talking about as i get that all the time, so many people believe because they subscribe to hot4's or the like they are experts. Id rather be honest and Im very excited about now not having to window shop and being able to finnally buy the car i have wanted for a long time, i just dont want make the wrong decision on which one i buy. thanks alot
