good luck with the car looks awesome good luck getting it engineered for comp and regoed with that mofo turbo... and the epa will rape you up da ass. esp once they see your website...2ndly with a car like that worth the extra to send via container it is not usually the wharfies rather soemtimes the crew on the ship.. all cars sent by container never had an item pinched inc a a power fc handcontroller left under the seat.. most cars sent by ship had stereos gauges and cd stackers ripped.

okay, i'm gonna ask a really really stupid question here:

80% of the cars i've seen photos of that are still in japan look like they're taken in the same garage as yours dude?!?!?

what gives? anyone?

That will go like stink with 2835R turbo on it.. heat wrapped pipes too shows its been tuned properly by a decent tuning house..that thing will GO .. maybe 250rwk ? hard to tell of course.. but yeah, looks like a beauty, and it will go fast

bastard :)

yeah was bought at osaka.

i had it moved to go in container but bank lost my contract so it took for ever to pay and the next container ship would have arrived too late so it had to come by car ship.

i just realised that they tried to steal the steering wheel too, two of the bolts are missing which i assumed they always were, but they are in the pics from japan.

already complied, problem is rwc and rego, epa should be fine they are easily fooled.

inark, i have no idea where you live. if by factories you mean moorabin/cheltanham, then ill be going to ICE alot soon to get it tuned and sh*t.

dave, you might get a ride if you bring those rims down for me... but just realised that they have to be able to take 225 tyres! yes and if your around your woman whenever i see her next you might get one then...

    • Nah that is not actually a lot. Just painting my GTR frontend and the little bits to make sideskirts/nismo flare pieces work correctly/fit on the sedan/mount up correctly came to about $7000. Is it a lot? Sure. None of this is economical. Economy would be shelling the car and buying a 2010 Corolla to commute in. The perspective of all of this is different.
    • I have the re003s’ on my 06 XT Forester Turbo and I highly rate them for street wet and dry
    • I don't see any issues here. I've been saying all along this is a big job, the price reflects that.  When the car comes back perfect I'm sure it will feel like money well spent. 
    • Remember, take original quote. Double it. Then add a bit more. It's how any project goes.
    • So, I started this repair and got as far as "fixing" the holes with some fibreglass. God all those years working on boats came back quickly. I decided I'd reach out to some rust guys just to see what they would say about it. I came across a guy about 40 mins away and went to see him. He said the windscreen needs to come out, that there might be some more bits around the windscreen and he'd quote them at the time. But his quote was $300 to remove and replace windscreen and $3k for the damage he can see. He said he could respray the roof for $1200 and the bonnet for another $800 (somebody has previously rattle canned it, its horrendous). This is $5300 + any small additional bits. It's a lot, I get that and the name of one of my fave youtube channels 'Not Economically Viable' comes to mind.  I'm not being financially rational, but I've taken him up on the quote. He's opening a new shop in November with more room, so we're waiting for that. I'll leave the currently missing headliner out until then. I'm looking forward to it being fixed and having the paint looking nice again (lots of clear coat issues on the roof too). / flame suit on.
