Well I came, I picked it up and I am back in Tassie.

Lets just say it was a pretty interesting day in good old Melbourne.

I have to agree with you guys about St Kilda and the beach etc...

Spose the fact it was in the 30's helped a lot as well :thumbsup:

Wont say too much about the car, it was damaged in transit and I was never told, bits were stolen and then compliance cost me more than I was quoted by a fairly big margin. What do ya do when your in a foreign city by yourself with no transport or friends?? Not mentioning the name of the business as I dont want any warnings etc and they are yet to be contacted in regards further developments.

Headed back towards the Spirit, missed a turn, went round the block trying to find somewhere to grab some lunch and good old party lights behind wanting me to pull over.

Crime cops bored with nothing to do as the drug dealers don't get up till 3pm, he told me, so they pulled me over cause I didn't have any plates. Checked the permit stuck to the screen, took it and my licence and spent 15mins in the car on the radio while his partner inspected pretty much every bit of my car while at the same time telling me he couldnt give a rats about cars they dont interest him. He actually thought I was joking when I told him that yes it is a genuine 32 GTR not just a badged up Skyline as he thought it was. His partner finally finished whatever the hell it was he was doing and proceeded to read me the rules and regs off the permit and explain what I could and couldnt do even though I had just copped that lecture from his mate who knows nothing about cars.

So when he finally finished I thanked them for filling in an hour of my otherwise boring day and went and sat outside the gates to the Spirit terminal for about 5 hours till it was finally time to get the hell outta Melbourne.

Off the boat the next morning and straight to Symmons Plains. Passed about 15 different cops out on the hwy and not one of them even looked twice at the filthy GTR with no plates touring in the middle of nowhere.

ahhh.... I know why I live over here. Least the eye candy was worth it.

      From Japan and back to Europe, my sh*tbox R34 GTT

      By GoHashiriya · Posted

      Absolute f*cking nightmare. I had to take breaks constantly, and I was always pissed off when I got home. The line split in Italy on day 2 (we drove from the Netherlands), lol. Driving any narrow European town was... well, sh*t.   Appreciate it man. Here, I'll just drop a favourite from the load I took on Saturday.   I'll update here when things happen with the car, the thing is, with stock power and almost everything chassis-wise taken care of, there really are no problems. 268,000kms now and counting.

      WTB R34 GTR Guard Liners

      Ah! I actually managed to snag a lightly used set.... that aren't so suitable for me right now. They don't work on a GTT without some cutting or creative heat moulding. I thought about reselling them myself cause I didn't want to murder them, but it looks like I'm probably going to attempt to murder them/melt them because I may as well. @GTSBoy @PranK can somebody close this thread?

      I couldn't wait But, the black constant tension hose clamps were too thick and there wasn't enough clearance at the T/B and I couldn't get it to seat properly, so I had use a silver one there I also added some 3" silicone over the alloy bit that goes through to hole on the radiator support as it looked like it was sitting on the edge of the hole in the radiator support, I never noticed a rattle or anything, but there was a witness mark It is basicly done, and I can live with the silver hose clamp at the T/B, I will get a black clamp for the head vent though where it is attached to the bulkhead fitting  It never stops...LOL, only issue now with the shock tower brace is it slightly touches the under bonnet liner now, if I leave it it will either wear some paint off the brace where it touches, or damage the liner, so I removed the liner to see what I have to work with, with the liner removed I have about 20mm of clearance, but sadly the middle part of the underside of the bonnet is only dusted with paint and looks crap, so I cannot have that, but.... as I have a roll of Carbuilders premium under bonnet insulation in the garage laying around that is only 5.5mm thick (we were going to use it on the boys Patrol, but he crashed the front of it a few months and it was written off, hence why he now drives my old Honda Accord Euro), I'll use the OEM liner as a template and get the Carbuilders stuff fitted up to cover that dusted paint up
