Since LadyBytes has "let the cat out of the bag", Yes, I did get my skyline last night (Friday). I drove it back from Sydney.

Its a stock R34 GTT with white enkie 17" wheels and and after market air filter (pod).

These photos are from carsales, as I havent conned Tuk Tuk to take any photos yet, I really need to give it a good clean, polish and wax first, but this should give you an idea.

I'm pretty over the moon with it, Now I gotta get its rego changed over which means a few things..

The pod isnt going to get over the pits, has anyone got a stock air filter I can borrow to get this over the pits?

Also, I'm going to need tyres. Michele told me to talk to you Mick about some road federals, I dont want the 595s - I'll kill myself with them :) I'll send you a PM.

Also, big thanks to Turismo for going and having a look at the car initially for me.

Now, I guess the fun begins....

Grats on the car,looks good, as long as the pods secured it should get passed by dickson as far as I know. I had my car switched late last year and back then at least pos were legal in the act.

Thanks CeJay, I might give Dickson a call - see if I can get any sence out of them!!!will be difficult!!!

I might have to go for a quick walk one arvo to check this driveway out! =D

Pete, were your ears burning yesterday?

An old friend of yours was asking why you weren't competing in the hillclimb yesterday... said you should get your @rse out there.

Yeah? I know a few people that it might be, care to narrow it down?

Also, do you guys see many Evos or Corollas in your little street of Skyliney goodness?

Does Corollas narrow it down enough or do you need more info?

We get Evos at the track... but managed to keep them under control the last two times, they're fast though and its about their turn to come up and whip our butts.

So when are you joining us at the track? Michael said you should be there.

Get your ass out there Pete! Would be interesting to see what your beast can do around the track! Also would be good to see if the look on your face is similar to most others when the 'little' corolla cruises through quicker than them...

Actually, i'm not quite at skyline level yet, but i'm getting closer. the best look of the day was when michele came through quicker than mark in the gtr!

So i'll see u there in november Pete? :rolleyes:

    • Drain it. I got official Matic D but you can get whatever is listed as Matic D compatible.
    • Thanks guys,  Yeah I should at least have them dynoed, at least then I know what I've got as a starting point.  The springs on these are hard as rocks. I vaguely remember Russman saying he was going to sell the shocks to me with the rocks fitted, as he was keeping the softer springs for his new setup.  I didn't click at the time but of course that was to let me know the shock/spring wouldn't be matched.  I also remember pricing up new springs around 2014-15, but, house, money etc. it never happened. So that was another reason to have them rebuilt. I have rebuilt the forks on many motorcycles so I think I could handle the seals on these easily enough, but getting the valving right would be a rabbit hole I cbf exploring.  Duncan, interesting to hear RP was tuning these back then. I might give them a call.  In the mean time I have been busy fitting sway bars. The Whiteline rear sway bar I purchased 15 years ago finally got fitted, along with the Whiteline front bar that showed up last week. Just waiting on new links for the front sway bar to finish that off.  And my spare set of advan AVS VS5's should be back from the powder coaters in a Pearl White finish sometime this week, with a set of Hankook RS4's lined up for fitting.  And then I just have all the suspension bushes to do. A comprehensive kit is on the way... Lots to do before the Ararat hill climb. Cheers guys 🍻   
    • Nice car! I’m glad folks in the US have gotten past the FnF and are buying real cool cars like the 260RS I was with a bunch of mates in Portland about a year ago and spotted a green Stagea (just a regular 2.5T AWD) parked about 2 blocks away and they were like “a what?” So I made a bet with them for a round of beers and said “ok one of you run down there and tell me if the steering wheel is on the correct side” 5 mins later the American comes trudging back up the hill and goes “he’s right guys. Ok what beer do you want?”
    • Should replace OR drop the tank, give it's good clean. Might be worth replacing that entire fuel level/pump/cradle thing with this: https://frenchysperformancegarage.com/products/fpg-s13-180sx-r32gtst-single-pump-hanger-kit-billet-hat-6-v3-fpg-089?gQT=2
