Rezz

Just a smallish update, here's a pic of the Skyline today with Vertex rear bumper and sideskirts, modified front bumper for big intercooler 'mouth', Hotbitz coilovers (not adjusted for correct height yet), and 19x9.5 +20 offset Starcorp Impul deep dish wheels with 235/35-19 tires for that stretched look. The fron wheels have 15mm spacers on and even then the wheel spokes just *barely* miss the calipers by a millimeter or two. 10mm spacers will go on the back for... eeerm... "effect". As it is, we've had one bloke come in - with the car outside TKO Tinting (926 Albany Highway East Victoria Park - PLUG!!! ) for all of 3 hours - saying that he's gonna buy the exact same wheels... the cars not even finished yet :lol: It's not everyday that you see 9.5" wheels with 15mm spacers on the front of a GTS-t Type M, but I guess 5 years of Japanese tuning styles being rammed down my throat it kinda influences you. In the next few weeks the Type M will get heaps of negative camber, a generous 40mm to 50mm slamming, a full respray and PLENTY of underbonnet mods. Will post up more as it happens. My old ride:

If you have a lazy $4K lying around, you could go the 40foot container :lol: ... but I guess you don't have THAT much stuff. If you can box up what you've got and take precise measurements of the boxes and it comes under a 2 cubic meter area, you could do sea freight for about $1000, or less for 1 cubic meter. Depends on who you go with for sea freight. But what we really need to know is how much stuff you want to take back?

I still don't get why Mitsubishi Lancer GLi owners feel the need to race? I mean seriously... put that FWD and chromie +500 offset away :lol: I *actually* haven't had any trouble with Commodore drivers... (touch wood) maybe because we tint alot of Commodores at TKO and I got the TKO graphic on my back window... I dunno... ?

Ok, I've been on this site for quite a long time and I've read alot of threads about other drivers - usually Commodore drivers - where they harrass, intimidate and basically act like retards whenever they see a Japanese car with even half an ounce of balls. I feel for these J-car drivers because I've been on the recieving end of that kind of shennaigans myself (having never ever owned a Holden/Ford you'd get that). ANYWAY, thats not what this threads about. It's about retarded import or Japanese car drivers. I imported my S13 Silvia and my old R32 Skyline (now TKO Trents) and since I've had the S13 registered, practically every single time I get into that car I've had Pulsar... after 300ZX... after WRX... after Civic etc all try and race/drift/tailgate/200km/h flyby and generally act like retards behind the wheel.... no Skylines yet of course luvly lot you SAU ppl are. My questions are: Why try and race? I WILL LOSE due to forfeiting the race without the enemy driver even trying. What is there to gain by acting like a tool in a bad tastefully modified VEILSIDE (???) Pulsar? Does my Silvia have a red target sign on it causing the chrome wheel posse to speed up and try and almost crash into the back of it? I'm pretty disappointed in alot of driver attitudes in Perth after such a long time abroad. I know alot of the guys in question are teenagers just off their P plates... but still, it's freeking annoying. And thus concludes my rant Mods if this same topic has been posted sometime in the last decade and hence violating Code 11563 subsection B9-788 of the Repeat Threads Act, please feel free to lock the thread and swallow the key.

Holy shit... rerading this thread makes me cringe... I was on 40mbps at home and 100mbps at work back in Japan Why in the heck does Australia suck at internet so much???

I'll put in my token post here and say that I also have the Nismo R32 GT-R and the Nismo S15 Coppermix AND the Option Stream Z AAAAND the Nizmo Z33 Fairlady Z... ... since last Christmas... lol

Another returning ex-pat... I feel not so 'alone' now haha. Hey Bart, I never got to meet but thanks for sharing the pics with us. It's just too bad I couldn't hook up with ya because I used to live next door to you in Ashiya...

If I see another 'WIDE BODY' car with stupid FWD offset wheels that are 6 inches sunken into the wheelarches I'll puke over the keyboard...

Hey I do know about the forum rules (if that had anything to do with it), but I interpreted that rule posted above pertaining to a slanderous post, not physically typing out the name of a business... ie: "I had a bad experience at XYZ workshop, and it went a little sumthin like dis"... if slander came into it then yeah no worries delete the lot, ban the se... eerrm offender and thats that.

I've been told that yard will drop up to 10K even before you open your mouth to start serious negotiations... but 75K is more realistic IMO.

I thought it was quite legal to post up shop names just so long as everything posted regarding said workshop/business whatever was all true and correct? Like no false claims and everything is sweet? You get banned for that? Sorry if theres been a big prob with posting up business names in order to 'protect the innocent/guilty' that I don't know about...

Starcorp Impuls are +20 on the deep-dish 18x9.5 and 19x9.5 versions.

If you go by the name in America, then you'd be referring to a lefthand drive example... not the case 'ere then, innit? I know you don't probably approve of it, but it's probably best to call it a... oh my gawd... a 'Skyline'...

Who's banned????

Theres some BIG THINGS planned for the wine red R32... it'll be ready by February and I'll post up some pics from December through till then. RB25DET conversion HKS 3037 turbine stainless high mount ex manifold Hotbitz Coilovers GReddy intake manifold (or surge tank in Japanese ) 19x8.5 and 9.5 dished alloy wheels Vertex side skirts and rear bumper modified Stainless cat-back exhaust (yet to decide maker) Candy apple red paint Big ass vented bonnet etc... The S13 will get the donor RB20DET... woohoo!!! The wine red R32's spirit will live on in the S13. The S13 will get: CLASSIFIED INFORMATION haha... I'll just post up before and after pics of the S13... wait and see

Just following on from my sarcastic post (wink - wink mate) I was gonna say that Japanese do the 'V' sign because they're trying to be a 'Kani' (crab)... but never mind

Thats easy mate, they do it because it's the victory sign used by 'Cammy' from Street Fighter II was just so cool they had to do it... but I think it's more like their comic book heroes or whatever do it after disposing of an enemy, and as kids they copied it whenever the camera came out and it just stuck forever after. On the other hand I had one student of mine say that they do it for something to do, as opposed to just sitting there like a dumbass...

Hey! I'm in Uganda doing bonafide scientific research! Not some whirlwind primate bangin' sex junket!!! I see Funkey*monkey* has already established himself here...

Great shots guys... I can really see the 'sameness' in the photos to my own experiences... which is good because I don't get Japan-sick as much.

I'm here in Uganda trying to find out who the hell f#cked the first monkey that started the whole AIDS epidemic... haha :lol:

But people your Dads age are the ones who would be in the market for such cars... hence the Mercedes/AMG analogy. The rpoblem being, as you've already stated, is that older people can't fathom Nissan in the same league as BMW or whatever, so I really don't know how successful Nismo will be in Europe...

With me it was more of a principle thing... I couldn't be a bitch and keep the $2K... what with our business reputation on the line. You never know what lengths 'certain people' will go to these days.

Yeah, thats probably correct in theory, but we had to refund the poor guy haha...

Bwahaha... your probably right... But is $4000 too much to profit from? C'mon... Donarto: We're in Perth, 926 Albany Hwy, East Vic Park.

I'm not quite sure, and I can't put my finger on it, but I'll hazard a guess that that retard was from Sydney.... Do any of the Osaka residents recognize him?
