A couple of bits.........
Try to convince your compliancer to "forget" to install the side blinkers on the front guards.
Our cars look heaps better without them especially when Muppet's don't aligned them vertically to the GT badge.
Lastly, make sure you either keep the original rear speaker covers or make sure they don't drill through them when fitting the child anchorage points.
They are near impossible to source second hand and are NLA new.
My V-Spec II has a Nistune, Boost controller, 720cc Sard injectors, larger Walbro fuel pump, 3" exhaust with 3" high flow cats and rear resonator.
Tuned by Unigroup, 271rwks and feels and looks stock standard.
Looking forward to catching up soon.
Bob.
Thanks for the tips Bob. I'll call them on Monday to see what's the go with blinkers. Last time I was there they said all compliance work are complete just waiting for the plate to arrive now. The blinkers were definitely not done at the time.
Didn't really pay attention to the rear speaker covers. Hope that's not the case

If you have a personal preference for tyres etc, approach the compliance shop to see if they're agreeable.
End up having to source my own tyres. The shop couldn't find the correct sizing, they were going to put 225/45 on it. I went with Hankook S1 evo 245/45ZR17 99Y XL
Congrats on the VS II.
Pleased for you!
That looks awesome!
Thanks guys!

Looks good Forged, the Auction Sheet matches quite accurately to what the car actually is.
Yes, as a part of compliance, they would be the standard procedures.
You would definitely change engine oil / oil, air, fuel filters so you know for sure it's running right + it's for your own good and the car.
I guess changing new tyres and wiper blade rubbers so they would meet to AUS Standards.
Child Restraints are just part of the AUS Complicating and ARD Laws.
Thanks mate. Good to have confirmation of what the auction sheet tells. I can only make out what some of the numerals mean. Is that grade B for the interior?
Cheers

A quick update. Car arrived in Sydney early November and it's now at Comptune waiting for the compliance plate.
As part of compliance (I was told), the shop had to replace engine oil, oil filter, air filter, fuel filter, new tyres, wiper blades and some child restraint brackets on the back seats. Are these quite standard procedures?
Any other items you guys would recommend to have replaced? First time importing a car so any tips and advices are welcome.
TIA!

I took the steering wheel off (replaced by a demountable Momo with a quick release and lock cover - strictly speaking not legal but excellent theft protection) I am also in the process of organising a replacement gear knob and handbrake cover and longer term looking at a replacement drivers seat and/or seat cover.
This will allow me to put most of the original 'wearable' items into storage and will give me the ability to return my car to 'fully stock' if I ever sell (have even kept the little brass boost restrictor which was removed ;-)
I am keeping the wheels on as I like them and have no intention of changing them for other rims but am even considering getting a spare rim as 'insurance' for a nasty scrape or similar......
Anyhow - have fun with it - the waiting is the hardest part ;-)
Cheers
The stock Baron
Thanks for the ideas Baron. Will have a closer look at the wearable items when the car is here. I hope the original seats under the leather covers are in top condition, in which case, they would go to storage as well. Maybe replace with R34GTR seats or some JDM items?
-
I'm really pleased for you, being able to procure this!
Thanks Terry. Looking forward to picking up the N1 bumper.
-
I've been thinking about putting into storage the original wheels, radio and even steering wheel as soon as car lands.
Cheers from one OCT 94 to another.

Make sure you send me and Terry a PM once it's complied and we can catch up for a coffee.
You don't often see 3 V-Spec 2's side by side.
Any other V-Spec Sydney owners would be most welcome too.
Bob.
Yes definitely Bob. I'm actually going to pick up a N1 bumper from Terry this weekend. Would be nice to meet a few more Vspec owners eventually.

Thanks. AFAIK it's a pretty standard vspec 2 but I do hope to be surprised and find a Nismo built N1 engine under there.

What tyres? Willing to separate?
Can't tell from the lighting but are the rims resprayed black?
-
Dstrbu has promised over the past 3 wks to send them to me. Still waiting I'm afraid.
I'll PM you if/when they arrive. I've been patient. Thanks for being patient too.
No worries. Let me know once you receive them. I'm assuming the inserts are genuine as well?
-
Interested in the N1 bumper, the vent inserts are included in the price? When will you get them?
Thanks

SOLD!
Thanks for all interest!

^PM replied. Thanks for the interest.

Hi everyone,

I used to be a member of this forum and I feel there will be more enthusiasts here that would appreciate and enjoy this car more than the general public. Maybe some of you would like a change from the focused all wheel drive turbo experience to a more luxurious Porsche convertible that still handles like a proper sportscar.
Willing to let it go for $23000 on this forum (I have it listed higher on carsales).
Will consider trade with a GTR R34/R33/R32 as I'm also looking for a track car, it'll need to be road registered.
Car is located in Sydney.
Thanks for reading.
PM for any questions
Cheers
