New Old S.a. Member Now With Added R32 Gtr :)

[WhO]

Hi Guys and Girls,

I've been a member here for quite a few years but never really browsed or posted much as i previously didnt own a skyline. I however have had a bit of a nissan history. Started off with a 1.6L ga16de pulsar which i did a +t conversion on sold that and moved onto a GTI-R sold that and moved onto a VW Bora 4motion shortly after which i then bought a 99vt commodore as a daily (was going to boost the bora)

Anyway recently i decided against boosting the bora and began the hunt for something else as a weekend / track car which brings us to the latest addition in my driveway,

Pics:

Edit: Just realised you guys cant see the pics if your not Pulsar Group of Australia members (they were linked from there)

Later when i get home from work i'll pop them up again!

That scrape on the right of the bumper in this pic pretty much polished out

Saw it on carsales Sunday i think, made the decision to fly out on wednesday morning 4am, got there late wed morning, checked out several gtr's and this was the best buy by far considering price and condition etc etc. Left syd for the drive thurs night and got back last night!

The Good

Its a 1990 gtr with 112000km on the clock

Koni Coilovers

Wheels you see in the pics

Trust Oil Cooler & filter relocation kit

Front and rear 3 point strutbraces

< 12 month old rebuilt gearbox

< 12 month old exedy twin plate clutch

Battery in the boot

Excellent condition interior

Shortshift

The Bad,

One turbo is munted but i'd already organised a replacement wed arvo i'll pick that up sometime this week

Car has minor hail damage on the roof and boot, bonnet however has some decent hits being alloy and all thus will likely need replacing

Striker plate for the drivers door latch needs to be welded up as the small crack that was there grew when i took a wrong turn and ended up on the bumpiest road known to man kind

Has a few oil leaks from the oil cooler setup, sump and rocker cover which i'll get around to fixing shortly

Short term plans are to clean it right up inside and out whilst the long term plans are to keep it clean and build it with track work in mind all whilst keeping the car as street legal and undefectable as possible.

I look forward to meeting some of you guys and learning more about the skylines, Hopefully i'll be able to come out to a few meets too and get to know the S.A. guys in the near future!

Cheers,

Rob
