  1. Spoken to streeter and he seems like a genuine bloke. Only downside is he uses ONLY email but he reply very quickly (cant comment any further as I didnt end up buying anything from him).
  2. Erm 3200 with tyres. Its a pretty good price too but I dont mind pay a few hundreds more for a set of newer rims. My import cals tells me that TE37 are around 3.5k excluding EMS. Which is still very cheap!!!
  3. http://page2.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/b101594937 SHIT! If its easy buying there and these are genuine... I felt so cheated for buying the LMGT4s I have now!!! They even come with the dura nuts from rays...
  4. If your 1st car is when you're 27 maybe you would! +1 for school holidays too...
  5. What sorta price range are you looking at? The Rays 57D looks quite good. Dan: Agree with Tris.. Chromes are bad! Tris: You'll probably like them since they come in fluoro yellow and orange! Tas: They come in 4holes too!! But probably bad for resale. http://www.rayswheels.co.jp/cgi-bin/cgi2/e...p;model=040_57D
  6. Dont know. She's not very keen for stuff like this and she only came cause I told her what Tris said about the imaginery wife. Lol.
  7. I might come again with my boat!
  8. Congratz! Sorry for not able to make it to the wedding. The car didnt have a spoiler for a while and looks weird.
  9. I love the LED. Where did you get it from and how much? I'm thinking of getting it for mine too but dont know if it'll look good (the circles are smaller than 34s). Wheres the actual link anyway? I cant seem to find them.
  10. +1 !!! But I hope I dont ever have to remove that... cost a bomb!
  11. Or you can join me and we can tour the beach. Mine looks a lil like a 4WD. Man you guys are rich! All projectors!
  12. A lil old but hey I just saw it on youtube!
  13. Woah you're really into it hey! Mass this time. Anyway have fun. I'll see if anyone's going for it. Dont want to be bored to death again this time.
  14. He didnt even wash his car! Went to pick some girl up and left us out in the freezing carwash waiting...
  15. http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/Dy...ml#entry4697798 Second chance for ya Kristan! And guess what? Its 4 wheel!!!
  16. erm... I believe most of us would have spoken to at least 1 or 2 brokers before making these comments? At least for me, I've spoken to Mick from SVI (in person), the Baron himself, Jspec and Mark Hocking (through phone). What you got from them is pretty much advise you need in determining if your budget is feasible. The price they charge can vary but it really boils down to what condition of a car you're after and if they can source it for you. And seriously MAYBE you can get yourself a good buy but MAYBE that'll come on once every 1 or 2yrs? Not everyone is willing to wait. Or MAYBE you should speak to them to confirm if what we say make any sense (10k for 32GTR land/complied/onroad??). Also, not everyone is into massive power mods etc. A lot of people just buy a good condition stock car and baby it like I do. The price stated by everyone else would be the reasonable range I believe. 32GTR for 18-25k, 33GTR for 25-30k and 34GTR for 45-60k. If you look at the price and age, thats probably why a lot of people are leaning towards 33GTR. Oh yea this would be based on non-limited editions as well.
  17. Hey! I had sorta the same problem only mine would probably be worse. I called up some paint shop and the quote is ridicules (its even more exp than buying a brand new 1, considering a new 1 is 450 as 1 of the trader is selling it). Anyway, like you, I dont really feel like spending that much on fixing it. Depending on how much you want to do, it can take VERY long to sand it down. Mine was turning yellow with bird shit size clear gone and I decided to sand it down to the carbon and get it re-coat. The end result was amazing. I never knew its this BLACK to begin with since I'm used to seeing it yellowish. Anyway what I did was get a 160 to sand of the first few layers of clear (the previous owner obviously didnt sand it before he re-coat it as it feel like sanding 4786239463789 layers when I'm doing it). To cut everything short, it took me a good 8hrs to sand it down. Start with 160 or 180 and change to 240 when you're down to the thinest layer of clear. When you start seeing carbon or you're sanding black stuff, change to 2400 to make the whole thing smooth again. Make sure you've got the wet/dry type of sand paper as you'll need to sand it with water towards the end use of each grit size. Dont be too concern with how scratched it looks at the end. Pour some water over it and if it looks glossy, you'll be fine (thats how it'll look like when its coated). It cost me around 130 to get everything done. http://www.sauqld.com/ipb/index.php?showtopic=2248&hl= Here's some photos of the after pic. Pity I forgot to take the before for comparison. Cheers!
  18. erm... dont know? lol. Maybe its lost/lose. That would be my immediate thought.
