You're talking Pimp my ride style stuff huh?

Well, first I'd do a full restoration. My car is 17 years old and could use a full strip and shine.

Then, well, it's all about the wide bodykit with wider tyres. Upgrade engine, brakes, suspension, maybe a 1/2 cage.... but for the rice factor:

1) Suspension controller.

I just think it'd be awesome to be pulled over and have the cop bend down to measure the clearance, only for me to push a button and suddenly it's just that bit higher. Also, my driveway is downhill, so it can be a nerve testing experiance to pull in and hope you don't hear that screaching sound of the exhaust pipe on the cement (hasn't happened yet, but the old mans falcon does it every time. He no longer visits.)

2) Carbon fibre.

Add vents to the bonnet, or get a Cf bonnet, perhaps CF boot and spoiler lips.

3) paint.

If we're not talking price here, I'd go for a deep pearl, probably dark royal blue based with black and white highlights. Black for the lower half, white for the upper half. That way it'll reflect the light in interesting ways.

4) Vinyl.

Probably just some stripes. Nismo or mines style, or perhaps simple racing stripes.

5) interior.

Customise everything. New Dash that would hold all the fancy dephi gauges, discreet speakers, top of the line ICE.

Trim everything in leather, probably white black and blue.

6) make it personal

Finish with something that is all about me. maybe my name stitched into the chairs, some customised badges, or something similiar.

Well, that's my spiel. Now if only pimp my ride would come to victoria.... Although they'd probably be restricted to washing the car and buffing it shiny thanks to vic roads.

Well, as for me... I just got a full sunroof put in, new stereo system put in... and now... working on the leather trim...

Keep the ideas coming fellas.

Damn, guess the cash is an issue for you with your ideas - as certainly you do not lack creativity bro... well written and thought out... a real powerful street machine. respect to that. +1

Well of course, I'm not going to build that while I'm doing a postgrad course at uni and working nights at coles! But I've read up pretty well on the specs etc of the cars I want to emulate (in my dreams).

I'm not a "gunna" about it though, very unlikely it could ever happen.

If i had the cash, i would hiflow the turbo, buy a power fc, upgrade injectors, upgrade suspension gear.. upgrade my side mount to a fmic.. n get a tune, with set of cams.. n go all out on music system..

hate car being stock :kiss:

uni student with casual work= poor

if i had unlim cash, i would buy Nissan and give free skyline parts to everyone :P

Then everyone can have a restored skyline haha

On the side id try and squeeze a W16 engine from the veyron into the R32 somehow and pass it onto nismo?

Z-Tuned W16 quad-turbo in a r32 :D

Then buy 1,000 r34 gtr's and give them to each import mechanic in australia/japan with a blank cheque. And have a massive competition on the best built R34 ;)

Then crush them all, melt em down and make one skyline out of it!!1 It will have the power of all skylines running through its metal!!11

if i had a little extra cash id buy a 2.8 stroker kit thank u nismo then use my turbo and everything on it and get around 400kw :P

then a fitzner dog box

then full gtr pannel kit

then full cage and another bride seat

then a full top secret kit

then ahh i can go on forever

Keep it as it is. Then pay nissan however much they want to get there best of the best to design and build my own custom designed skyline. simiular to the 34 shape i reckon but with the new 3.5 twin turbo!

If registration wasn't an issue and neither was money I'd have my way with the R30 4dr i have.

Stripped to rolling shell and bare metal respray with a custom kit $8K

half cage

Z32 4/2piston brakes all round with a five stud conversion and 17inch rims

camber and castor kits, sway bars, strut braces

RB26DETT with a single turbo conversion plus some other bolt on fruit

then with the spare L20ET i would get my hands on a 240Z bomb out the L6 with;

a hybrid T3 forged pistons and metal head gasket

tubular exhaust manifold

intake ported and polished

larger injectors and management

stripped interior with a full cage

motorsport option 1 gear box or and RB one

and set the beast up for rally events

    • 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.
    • BTW I measured the jack I have, it is 70mm at the saddle but you only have about 700 until it returns to 150mm high at the cylinder so it is good but no magic bullet.
    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
