howdy. I went to redline on nth. east rd when I was looking for a car. Turns out one of the sales dudes there is someone we know's uncle. All I can say is we knew his nephew, and he still tried to shaft us. I wouldn't recommend going there to buy a car coz of the arrogance the sales guy. He treated me like i didnt have the cash. Yeah - like I was a FUCN DREAMER. FIK it steams me when you get arse oles like that. Oh well his loss - I had 17k on me (in the bank) that he didnt get. :D

Well yes, let me elaborate. We test drove 5 or 6 other R33s before he bought this one, none of them squirmed around like this car does just on a roll. As for standing starts...his first drag (with four decent sized guys in the car) involved half a turn of opposite lock and 20 meter long thick black marks. :uh-huh: But then we found out there was an undercover cop behind us at the time...:eek:

Yep Bl4cK32 I agree totally about those guys. They were rude until they realised I was serious. Asked me heaps of questions about insurance and cash etc etc. Then I dealt with Alan who was really nice and not pushy. Traded my car for a really good price so I was happy.

Then when a couple of little problems I'd pointed out hadn't been fixed before I picked it up, they were really abrupt, wouldn't return my calls and weren't the nicest to deal with - so I just kept taking it back until everything was fixed :D

same story, wouldn't let me go 4 test drive - until i had signed papers! He goes "Last kid in here thought he could go for a thrash in the backstreet. He ended up walking back to get his car." Hey - im no ***n kid, and in my books taking a car to see if it drives ok, shouldn't be a hasstle - if you want my money.

yeah that black drift R R34 at motorcity isnt bad at all,someone i no may be buying it soon.Back to tommy kaira's mine was first bought for 25k and than has at least 10k of mods on top of the tommy kaira mods.

Nice pick up. I think aftermarket mods are perhaps going to hold their value a bit more now that people buying from japan will only get stock cars - fingers crossed.

What bits does your car have?

In response to the staff's attitude at redline, i think it depends - they obviously judge you as soon as you enter their car yard from the car you step out of to the clothes that you wear, just my observation. To me when I went there they were cool and helpful same goes with turismo, Dave at redline was laid back to me and didnt hesitate when i wanted to test drive some of his cars - supra TT and a some turbo skylines. But yeah, some times when you go to a car yard the owner has PMS other times well I guess its bad luck you rocked up at that time of the month.

They had $50k on that 34 when I last looked there (a month or 2 ago) .... yeah farken right - when you can buy a 34 and land it here for under $30k, mod it propertly yourself and still have $10k change!! If only they weren't so damn heavy I would buy one myself! If only I could afford the attessa and RB26TT to drag one around ;)

    • You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways. 
    • So, I put my boat on a boat. First of all, I'm going to come out and say it. Why is Tasmania not considered a holy goal, an apex that all road-legal modified cars go to, to experience? This place is an absolute wonderland of titanic proportions. If people are already getting club runs for once in a lifetime 30 person cruises to Tassy then I've never seemed to see it. It is like someone replaced the entire place with an idyllic wonderland for cars, and all of the people living there with paid actors who are kind, humble, and friendly. Dear god. After doing a lap of almost all of the place I've found that it's a great way to find out all of the little things that the car isn't doing quite right and a great way to figure it all out. All in all, I drove for 4 hours a day for a week and nothing broke. I didn't even need to open the engine bay. This is by all means a great success, but it has left me with a list of things to potentially address. I also now have a 3D printed wheel fitment tool which annoyingly hasn't got any threads in it to actually assemble it. I might be able to tape it together to check the sizing I actually want to use, but it'll likely involving pulling the shocks out to properly measure travel at least at the front, and probably raise the car while I'm at it, at least in the rear. I scraped on quite a few things and I'm not sure how else to go about it. I was taking anything with a bump at what felt like 89 degree angles. And address those 10 other tasks. And wash the car. God damn it is dirty. And somehow, the weather was perfect the entire time - And because I was on the top of Mt Wellington it turns out it was very much about to freeze up there. I did something I typically never do and took some photos up there in what must have been -10 and the foggy felt like suspended ice, rather than mere fog. If you own a car in Australia, you owe it to yourself to do it.
    • Damn that was hilarious, and a bit embarrassing for skylines in general 😂 vintage car life ey. That R33 really stomped. Pretty entertaining stuff
    • Hi, I have a r32 gtr transmission. Does any of you guys have an idea how much power it will hold with the billet center plate and stock gearset? At what power level and use did yours brake with or without billet plate? Thanks, Oystein Lovik
    • Saw this replica police car based on a Mitsubishi Starion XX parked next to a 'police box' (it's literally a box) in Hirohata, Himeji City in Hyogo prefecture the other day. It's owned by Morii-san who is a local Mitsubishi Starion enthusiast. According to a local radio station blog post, he always wanted to make a police car himself based on ones he saw in his favourite Manga comics.  As it's illegal to modify a car to look like a police car and drive on the road, Morii-san tried many times to get permission from Aboshi police station headquarters nearby. They refused initially by after they got tired of that they granted him permission. However, the car can only be displayed on private property and obviously can't be registered as long as the police livery is present. The car was completed at a cost of 1.5 million yen (US$ 10,000) in addition to the car cost. A location was chosen outside Hirohata Police box where the car can easily been seen from the street. Morii-san has two other Starion road cars, both widebody GSR-VRs.
