  1. ^^ correct
  2. In 2029 (another 13 years time), this'll resurface.
  3. I have a brand new set of GTR caps if you decide to swap...
  4. I have a brand new set in packaging if you wish to swap. A bit of money your way too. And thanks for the lead Anfanee.
  5. And mine is at the painter until next Wed
  6. Thanks Kristian for sharing this article - the astute guy you are. https://www.autotalk.com.au/industry-news/sydney-car-dealer-year-sentence-odo-tampering
  7. ...by Pete Bodyform Aero
  8. This thread has now become personal
  9. "Old"? *cough
  10. Today... $477.74 at NRMA, stating that the GT-R is insured by NRMA VVC (as loyalty)
  11. Thank you lads!!! NISMO's last post was to link with the wrap-up thread but it doesn't work. Thank you JAS!
  12. R32 GT-R 21st Anniv Wrap Up Thread Lost? Just trying to locate pics of the Z-Tune and r32 GT-Rs please?
  13. ...unless they go down.
  14. Absolutely magnificent Matt. And I tip my hat to Alan Heaphy Engineering ie the man who got the maximum out of the R32 GT-R and made it into godzilla.
  15. Autohub is processing 75 (approx) vehicles at the moment and a major percentage of these are going to Edward Lees *cough - Sun Rise Cars.
  16. Has Speeding Been Responsible For More Road Deaths in NSW in 2016? I know that this is a different (albeit related) question: but I'm approaching this thread from a different perspective. I'm asserting that if there's a criterion behind speed, it's alcohol, illicit drugs and inattention (due to texting/talking on phones). Why? Because in 2016, boat related deaths are up by 24%. So I'm joining some dots from another angle.
  17. Yes! Kory took several shots from the car behind. Both Matthew Everingham and Kory Leung were on duty that day for High Performance Imports Mag.
  18. Got a lot on, sorry. I can only come down for the meetup > meet n greet.
  19. Forecast of Sums Insured for the first half of 2017. Sellers:- The values of BNR32s, BCNR33s, BNR34s don't appear to be going up in leaps and bounds at this point in time. Because GT-Rs attract international money (compared to Aussie muscle cars that attract local money), the overheated market appears to have stabilised and so, one can feel reassured that you can insure your car next year for the same amount you have this year. If you need to sell your car to where the money is, it might be wise to talk to an importer/exporter of your own choice, as well as selling locally. Buyers:- * BCNR33 values have appeared to bottom out and they give the appearance of rising. Parts dealers who I've talked to, seem to be sending a lot of R33 GT-R parts to Canada if they aren't being sold here. So it certainly appears that R33 GT-Rs are being being bought up by our Canuk cousins. * BNR32s and BNR34s are still being bought by the usual suspects including Aussies. One has to be more careful with shortages of supply that you don't get caught with a rust bucket or damaged goods. Having someone on the ground to "thoroughly" inspect your prospective car before auction is highly advised. Someone here on SAU had an R32 GT-R inspected and was told that the car was in VG Cond. It was anything but, when a friend (also an exporter) noticed rust in the worst possible spots. An interesting player in the market this year has been China. Now since it's prohibited to import directly to China a road registerable R32/R33/R34 GT-R (as they only admit left hand drive vehicles anyway), Hong Kong has been the entry point. It's fine for grey import GT-Rs to be brought into HK (yes, under orders from other parts of the mainland). What happens is that the car gets complied and registered with a HK Number Plate. And then the GT-R has to be registered a second time to enter the mainland through Tsim Sha Tsui where cars cross over to the right hand side. And thus, these grey import GT-Rs on the Chinese mainland, carry two sets of registration plates. I'm told that it's a very expensive process. Thanks for reading...
  20. Another spare shot.
  21. Part Numbers as these were acquired from SAU Member "fatz" ... 55550--RS590 ...so yes, Standard
  22. Good question Dimi. I asked the same We think alike. Where the car was stored for 5 yrs until 2010 is not certain. Bobby was given a heads up about 4+ Z-Tune cars being available up until 2009. He was told of this "special" Z-Tune being part of the Nismo directorship that was emerging for sale; but sight unseen and with the sequence number still unknown, he had to slap a $10,000AUD deposit on it to be locked in. Only after the deposit was paid, was he told that it was indeed #1 of 19 (the last 5 of which were conversion to Z-Tune requests). Bobby only had the car for 3 weeks before deciding to attend the SAU.NSW R32 GT-R 21st Anniversary From Tench Pk Penrith to Katoomba. A brilliant iconic photograph of the car was taken by Kory Leung whilst travelling up Bells Line Of Road in the mist. It hasn't travelled any long distances since then.
  23. R33 GT-R Nismo Side Skirts in conjunction with LMGT1 18x10 +20 Nismo Rear Link Set in conjunction with S-Tune Suspension Nismo Rear C/F Twin Blade Wing I'm still halfway through cleaning up the car; but it's looking respectable now. *** There was even stress in installing the A-Arm; as my friends at TSI couldn't get the pair to fit So I got Steve Phillips at Steve's Autobarn at Blackheath to instal them. He says that these arms are all reinforced; since there's no size difference from OEM.
  24. Since this car isn't going racing anytime soon, I'd keep the same original tyres as well. Tis a coincidence that here we are in the 49th week of 2016, exactly 12 years after these OEM tyres were made!
  25. 2.8l of utter goodness
