Hey everyone.

Well I finally picked up my car on Friday and yeah.....I'M HAPPY! :)

The car is a 1990 R32 GTS-T Type M, bone stock (which most likely means she was'nt abused by the kids in Japan :D ), 101K km's, original paint, NO RUST, mint frame and a very strong motor. When I test drove her at 3500rpm's in 2nd gear I punched it and it through me back in to my seat. At 6500rpm's she still wanted to keep going. I was super impressed.

Anyway here's a few pic's after I washed her up. The car still needs a good detail job but she cleaned up really nice. The writting on the windshield is no longer there now.

I'll be going for emission's next week I first wanted to give it a couple of tanks of good gas, bottle or injector and octane boost, oil change and some high rpm driving just to clean the engine out. She was sitting for a while so it was a good idea. As well I've reset the ecu and I'm doing new plugs and air filter.

Overall I'm just really happy and excited to get this project going.

Well take care.

Cheers B)

Thanks for the kind words man.

Actually no they are'nt hard to import, register or insure here. Our law states any car 15 years or older can be imported legally. I thought you guys were having a similar law institued, or is my info wrong?

If I am wrong, your all VERY lucky that any car made in any year can be imported. Yeah us Canucks are jealous :D .

it was like that, they cut that rule at the start of this year when the gov realised how many imports were coming in and thought it was taking away from the local car market. thats my understanding anyhow.

:lol: well hopefully the list won't grow anymore and you'll get your car VERY soon.

I'm really loving this car and it's funny how it still has'nt really sunk in yet that I own a Skyline. I mean I know it will but for now it's a really neat feeling. :rofl:

Hey that's great. See I told ya that list would'nt grow any bigger, I must be physic. :D

Anyway I hope the registration process will be as easy as replacing the battery. Make sure to post up some pic's of your new baby as I look forward to seeing her. :D

    • The real question is, on some of those wild roads they call highways, how many times did a farmer in an old ute from the early 2000s blaze past you over double lines?   Tassie is a wild and really cool place, and after doing a work related road trip there January of 24, I understand why Targa Tasmania is ran there, and is so tough to do well at! We had a brand new Camry Hybrid that handled quite nicely, and thankfully weren't in an old car, because cresting some of those hills in a 100kmh zone for it to suddenly be like "surprise f**kers, this is a recommended 30kmh hard right turn" wouldn't be pretty. We weren't racing the Camry around, but we weren't slouching in the bends either. But my lord those old farmers know their old clapped out utes, and those roads, as they were absolutely hammering it!   You're also super lucky to make it up to Mt Wellingtong this time of year. It's often road closed with snow/ice! Also, I hope you hit up Salamander Road in Hobart for some insanely good food (I highly recommend the dimly lit Irish pub for a Guiness Pie, or even the bangers and mash!!!)   How long did the Ferry take to get across? I want to do a road trip of Tas on my own time, but I get horrifically sea sick, and I don't want me on the Ferry, just the car 😛
    • So far so good, about 30km on it so far and nothing out of sorts yet thankfully
    • Look at @Kinkstaah's thread on the issue.
    • Hmm not really, I'd say its race car life or modified car life when you make 3 or 4 times the power Nissan designed the car for lol. 
    • I'll let others with more breakage chime in, but I can't think of anyone who had a problem with the standard centre plate before they had a problem with the standard gears - the plate generally just gets replaced for safety when the gearset is upgraded. As for the gearsets, its not like they are OK at 600Nm and break at 601. Their longevity is a combination of how much torque you are making and how gentle you are on shifts (or not).
