Well at least one major consolation is that you squeeked your purchase price thru, before the AU$ went thru the floor!!!

Pics later eh?

Tez

I managed to get 103.2 yen for the Aussie dollar when I purchased it :P

Woohoo, its here at last! :D

Picked her up from compliance on Thursday 13th November and drove it home after not making my pit booking in Warwick.

Drove it back to O'Connor on Friday and lined up for about an hour, passed the pits no problems (as you would expect).

Only thing I thought was a little odd was the pits asked for a copy of import approval (which I thought was strange, since it clearly had a compliance plate which was the first thing he inspected) apart from that, he hardly even looked over the car. Inspector looked under the bonnet, got the engine number, chassis number and then checked my lights and gave it the all clear. All up it took about 1.5 hours including waiting.

I then drove up to Wangara (to Autoworx) to have the exhaust swapped back, then to Joondalup for licensing!

(Having no license plates gets a lot of attention)

Happy with my purchase, the car has very few scratched and no dents, interior is perfect apart from on top of the center gauges which is a little scuffed (oh yeah, where can I order a dash mat for an r34 gtt?).

A big thanks to Mark Hocking for finding/inspecting the vehicle for me and Alistair Maxwell at Autoworx for compliance. :)

(I'll add some pics once the car is cleaned & polished)

      It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪

      And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil

      Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
