1 - drove it. got unlicence car approval from RTA 2- went to RTA with original owner got temp rego - paid $35. tossed my trade plate on it when I crossed the border. tried to do a trade plate from sydney to brisbane - told by the police not to as I would be driving a unregistered vehicle. this is a bit of a grey area and hot potato as I go 4 different answers from 4 different stations and the RTA. one said yes I could 3 said no. I took the safe option. 3 last one I trucked from sydney was $600 to rosewood - that was in '06. when I drove the last one up it took $110 to do it inc rego and 10 hours travel that was june 08.

C34 start at teh gear stick panel and work up.

no idea. can pop another one in there quite easily. your call.

run it past - I'll sort it for you. there are two versions of that thing and I have spare remotes for it.

post a pic of it up - failing that - you are in brisbane - look me up. details in sig. I can proably work out what the unit is.

not too bad. if you are a 2nd year apprentice with time on your side its fairly straightfoward. take the time to hide the unit. send me a PM if you want one.

depends on what you want. featurewise the autowatch is the better item. its small and VERY easy to hide. I put one of those in a R34 today. where are you?

it can be done easily. the OEM control units rely on a translation box. they are NOT plug and go. I have done several now and its definitely doable. in regard to the last post - most of those have a AV in so if you can get to one of those input and your source plays NTSC video then you have got it sussed. failing that pull the lot out and replace the pocket.

nice to see someone has bought a movie prop. not for me - too loud.

not automatically. I can do it where you set the camera by a hitting the TV switch. I can get the correct kit so that it does do this but its not cheap. the OE system requires a data stream to switch the system over. - yep you need a tv/navi bypass. I keep them here. what year is your car (or give me the chassis number and I'll tell you a few things about your car.)

that's the one I keep coming back to for some reason. its been there for about 2 weeks now. its quite tempting to toss the guy $5k, toss the trade plate on and drive it home. I have noted that there is a register on R31 for these. wonder why people are actually selling these cars. I have noticed a trend both here and in japan where people are selling off their toys all of a sudden. (look on JSpec and note all the rally cars.) as you can tell by my avatar I play with all sorts of JDM cars (that's a 2003 BZ11 cube) on a daily basis. most of which I'm tossed the keys to and told to modify with aftermarket gear. the most common question I get from other skyline owners is do you own a skyline ( I work on a LOT of them) - I'd like to be able to say yes to that Cazz, comments on the white car are welcome

depends. I see a lot of local 32/33s and most of them for that money have been thrashed within a inch of there life. that said a mate of mine bought a 33 ex japan for VERY silly money (sub $3k AUD) and that car was in near new condition.

true. I have a 88 subaru wagon that fits that point. I bought the car for $1k with a dead turbo engine (its a jap one the locals are carby only.) and proceeded to spend another $4k dropping a 2lt twin turbo with the associated brakes and electronics in it. at the end of it the car is still quicker than a STi and on the downside is that its only worth $2k and to fix it when it breaks will cost more than I paid for it initially ( the auto boxes in these are $3-4k to rebuild!). in the case of a factory special - no way in hell I would mod it and IF I did I would make damn sure it was reversible. considering the R31 guys all aspire to own HR31 coupes I see these as a appreciating asset as well. probably not as much as the GTS cars but still worth more than the others IMO. exactly as I said above. or if you look on yahoo japan there is a HR31 GTS-R for 2.3Mil yen - old person owned and I dare say he knows what the car is. in the photos its dead straight and dead stock! too much money for me. the white R31 GTS is about my market for a factory special. most cars I build are around the $6-7k mark built anyway.

like wise for a HR31 coupe. finding a decent one thats not half beaten up is the hard bit. as for finding a cheap one - yes I can if I wish. I work with enough compliance shopsso I can find a decent one if I tried. I do see your point with a modded R31 vs GTS / GTS2. those are collectors cars and I have seen plenty of them go for way more than I thought. here is the GTS1 http://www.tradingpost.com.au/Automotive/U...ckToResult=true which I thought was cheap given what it is. granted its in original condition unlike the red one that was rebuilt.

it did actually. there is a white GTS1 on there as well. I didnt see the red GTS2.

buy a local didgital tuner. see chook or myself for this.

indeed. find the module.

yep - done several. have bits to do the swap on hand. got dosh? this is NOT a cheap exercise.

the car in question: more info here: http://www.carmenimports.com/cms/skyline-v...yline-car-sales

monday. call before then

parts located need to pull a local car down to verify a few things. I'm not going to buy the bits unless I can prove this will work.

depends, I'm probably going to approach them on a distro level as theres not a australasian distro. in my case and if I had (or could create) a market for it I would buy one on the merit it may work. having said that its not that item that interests me.

checked the fan resistor?
