hey everyone i had to tell someone so i thought how about i tell alot of people. its a 1999 r34 25gt its silver, has the turbo brakes and has carbon fibre window pillars which looks pretty cool. i went with my dad and my uncle and we looked at every little bit of it, we moved the carpet in the boot and in the car as well, looked underneath and took it for a drive and then checked for any leaks and its as clean as a whistle. i should have it in a week or two and ill take some pics and post em up. oh and the best thing is i bought it i dont owe anyone which is a good feeling. when taking it for a test drive it felt great, the handling felt fantastic the braking was awsome and revved nicely through all gears. now i have to wait which sucks im real excitied i feel like a little boy on christmas eve lol, anyway ill post pics when i get it thanks for reading i just had to tell someone lol.

Awesome buddy.

I remember the first time i drove my 'line. Was raining like a mofo' then i stalled it coming home and had to push the car to the side of the road, as the battery decided to completely shit itself :laugh:

After that is was all sweet, once i replaced the battery :P

Congratulaions mate - welcome to the Skyline Family

ahhh...the first day i picked up my baby. Hadn't really driven a manual car before so was a 'tad' inexperienced lol.

Drove it like a retard, stalled it more 5 times + but i didn't care. Was a grinning idiot all the way home :laugh:

Enjoy your new car and treat it with respect mate, cos the minute you don't, it can come back and bite you four fold.

Drive safe and take care

ill definately take pics as soon as i get it. i was going to get the pics now but it has already been taken off carsales. i got it at power road car sales for $14,000. he is a small dealer but only works with skylines but he had a couple of 300zx's there as well. it was a bit of a drive to go and see it but my uncle lives in rowville so it wasn't that bad the dealer was in dandenong and i live on the other side of melb, ill definately be seeing you guys because ill be joining for sure. also i forgot to mention the badging on the back is in gold did any come with that or did the last owner just buy them or paint them.

it seemed like a good dealer he was a nice guy as well so i was happy to buy my skyline from there he said he was buying one of those nissan v35's, and they come with an 8 speed auto, that would be one smooth ride it must cruise at a very low rpm.

    • 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.
