Aussie_Delivered_R32_GTR

Wow..... Just found this......

I should be there too....... Bob.

Cool....... I was going to bring the DeLorean! Cheers, Bob.

Do I need a time machine or do you mean July 9?

Fun day!

What about this one - http://rmsothebys.com/az17/arizona/lots/1989-nissan-skyline-gt-r/1701568 About $82,000 Aussie Dollars. Bob.

That's $55,000 Aussie Dollars. Probably worth a tad more but good buying at that. Bob.

Not sure, but I was there - Cheers...... Bob.

Not much........ Dealer fitted option. $30-$40 tops........ (Remember 26 years ago). I couldn't get mine off fast enough. Bob.

No...... That is not the version fitted to R32's. They were a (very ugly) generic version with NISSAN printed on the back. Trust me you don't want them. They needed to be cut to fit, bloody horrible things. Photo attached.

Correct.

Hard Pipe Kit SOLD. Other items still available.

Yeah.. Sorry guys, false alarm .??? Somehow it dropped of my saved list and then I couldn't get the link on page 1 to work so presumed it sold. Apologies..... Bob.

Unigroup in Girraween are very good too..

SOLD........... Anybody from here buy it?

OK...... Fair enough, I'm in the sporting good industry and know what trade stands cost. That's ridiculously cheap! 2000 people is nothing, advertise it on Facebook and see what happens. Be that as it may, is it fair that Joe Public can walk in, spend all day there with no risk or headache and pay less money than an entrant that helps create the event? That's my issue, sorry. Bob.

I'll leave you with this thought...... 2,000 Members of the public (Maybe heaps more) visiting the event at $20 per head = $40,000.00 300 Entrants at $45 per head (Maybe more) = $13,500.00 10-12 Major Trade Stands at $4000 per stand, say $44,000.00 6-10 Minor Trade Stands At $2000 per stand, about $16,000.00 Worse case scenario nearly $113,500.00 LESS OPERATING COSTS .......... And they need volunteers? Bob.

This is a tricky one and I too highlighted my concerns to an executive a couple of weeks ago. This is my take on the whole thing and I’ve been around these types of events for many many years. Scenario 1, the way most people look at an event like this –. This event has the makings of a fantastic day that could not happen without the motivation of the organisers. People pay their money, have fun, meet new friends, learn a heap of stuff and go home happy......... So what’s wrong with that? Nothing unless you want to look a bit deeper. The Reality. The organisers and coordinators have identified an opportunity to put on an event which should secure them a healthy return on their investment. This is not a charity event or a Club run event although club involvement has either been asked for or offered. It is a commercial proposition to make money. Sponsors pay to display their goods and services to a target market and expect to also get a decent return on their investment. The public pay at the gate and are confronted with a conga line of GT-R’s never seen before. For $20 or their about they can stay there for hours looking and learning all things GT-R. Pretty good deal, I’m sure we all agree. The entrants, we pay to provide our cars as the entertainment for the organisers to make money? Am I missing something here? Our cars drag in the sponsors and public to pay and then for that privilege, we pay too! INSANE, doesn't happen in any other business environment where the drawcard has to pay to be there. In my opinion the entrant fee should be FREE but the public should pay more to offset the cost.That will then further encourage owners to bring their cars to attend. I met heaps of people last year that didn't bring their cars but were happy to look at ours and they paid LESS to do that than we did as entrants! Quick question, When Adele recently played in front of 500,000 people around Australia, did she have to pay for that privilege or did she get paid? I think we all know the answer to that. I have two cars confirmed for the Heritage display. The first is my 60,000km 2 owner R32 GT-R ADM, 100% bog stock standard including radio, suspension and exhaust. The second is an identical 1994 white R32 GT-R. I think to have two factory fresh cars, 1 ADM and 1 JDM side by side in perfectly stock condition is something many people would like to see and has never been seen before in public. There are still a lot of people that don’t know Australia was the only country in the world outside of Japan that officially sold the R32 GT-R throughout Nissan Dealerships. A drawcard in my opinion. I’m happy to show people the differences between the cars and provide my knowledge free of charge. That’s what car enthusiast do, no issues. So......I have to pay an entry fee for two cars. The ADM is not registered so I need to pay for an unregistered vehicle permit for the day. That requires a trip to my local RMS and we all know how much fun that is. I then need to change my insurance arrangements for one day as it's only on laid up cover at home, not on the roads and then take the risk that some moron does hit me going or coming from the event and deal with Police pulling me over because it doesn’t have number plates. So, to sum up, my commitment to attend this show is in excess of $100 plus the risks and inconveniences involved in bringing the two cars. Once again I have no issues with this, I know from the start what I’m up for and it’s my call if I want to do it or not. At this point in time I’m doing it. The part that really gets me is the call for volunteers......... Come in spinner. I know that they have been promised some form of remuneration and that’s fine, it’s each individuals call whether they want to do it or not. I just hope that those who don’t want to do it like me are not ostracised by others. The first person that asks me to mark out grid positions or run errands or co-ordinate anything will be politely reminded that I'm a customer, not a member of staff. The organisers will always say that the fees that have to be paid to Sydney Motorsport Park and ALL the other costs such as Insurance and legislative requirements need to be recouped and at best the event breaks even blah blah blah . Trust me, as someone who has been in business for over 35 years if an event like this doesn't attain a decent return on the investment then nobody in their right mind would contemplate hosting it. Weather is the only uncontrollable factor that can affect the profitability of the day. Many business, (mine included) suffers from this problem, you just need to work on worse case scenarios. Please don’t get me wrong, I certainly don't have a problem with people making a profit, I encourage it and have been spruiking about this event for ages but I do find it annoying that volunteers are requested in a business environment. If I go to a restaurant as a patron, I expect good service from professional people. This show is no different. It is the organiser’s responsibility to provide a professional coordinated environment. Is that going to be the case when volunteers are involved? Hopefully, but like many things in life, you normally get what you pay for! Sorry for the rant! Bob.

Hi Guys, I have no vested interest in the car either way but I did look at it for another forum member. I ran my paint thickness gauge over the entire car and the only paint anomaly I could find was the passenger front guard. For the bonnet and door not to have been painted suggests the damage would have been minor. It did have correct books and documentation. N1 headlights, Oil cooler and relocation kit. A grade 4B car other than the guard repair. I hope this helps. Cheers, Bob.

Here are your part numbers anyway......

Here is a rear view, hard to see but at least you know what rear end to look for........
