Welsome to SAU forums :blink:

Feels free to post up specific Qs and "search" around for heaps of existing info...

My Mum's side is from Edmonton with relatives in Calgary, Vancouver (N. Burnaby).

If I come across to the West Coast and you live there, I might have to look you up should I be suffering from Skyline Withdrawal lol!

No problems insuring a right drive car where you are? Do you Canuks use nails in the snow tires? No salt I hope!

Cheers,

Terry

By the way, there are some fanatastic R33 GTsT cars here in Oz. That'd be a hoot to import a car to Canada from here wouldn't it? Feasible?

I will be using the Search feature before I post up anything. The last thing I want is to get flamed for not using the Search Function. :blink: That's funny! I live in Edmonton. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that things go well this winter and I will have a R33 in my possession next summer. And insurning the car is not the problem it's getting it to pass inspection, let alone finding an Importer you can trust.

And ya, salt is used a lot out here. But this car will not be driven in the winter. That's what my Sentra is for ;) I would entertain the idea of importing from Aussieland but I can only imagine what the costs would be compared to Japan. I can get it imported from Japan for under 3Gs. And ya you guys have some unfu(king-believable R33s down there. I have sifted through 33 pages so far, truly inspiring.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
