Yeah was stolen June last year, apparently passed through about 4 sets of hands after the insurance company sold it off.

I'm guessing a few people thought it was a GTT because I put the gauges and stuff in. But lets face it, it's a high-comp turbo engine with about 160K on the clock. I'd say it'd be a bit tired by now.

My brother sold his civic in adelaide with 130ks on it...few mths later saw it on carsales.com with 60ks and added on a few Ks on the price! Not safe buying 2nd hand nowadays...:P

"This is an excellent car with very low k's" and "The vehicle is fully serviced and comes with dealer warranty."

:D:O:(

We sold the "chilli" white Barina on Ebay... LOL.
Slayer?

If only the new owner was aware of its distinguished history.

Alex, you never forget your first skyline, especially when it's an N/A + t with R33 crossover pipe back to front and a special metallic blue on the I/C pipes that I made at work.

Plus the engine and VIN numbers, and you can see the mod plate on the passenger strut brace.

hey,

thats at a car dealer on parra rd at granville im pretty sure i know which one it is as well, because i went with a mate to look at a bmw that was there and we suspected the beema was either stolen or in an accident cause the roof wouldnt go up without lifting it manually, and the guy was just making excuses for things and wouldnt let us take it for a mechanical inspection. what kind of car dealer says that, only if they have something to hide.

    • This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.
    • Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.
    • My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though. 
    • Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno
    • Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
