Yep that's it... :(

Was the only 97 and certainly the only SIII I could find. Also wanted one without a lot of mechanical mods. It has 3" from the turbo's back, EBC, ETC and that's about it which was exactly what I wanted. So saw this and thought that's the one for me. Didn't want a white one, would've settled for silver and I don't know if purple is my colour ;) Going to put a PowerFC in it in the next week or two then see how I go from there.

Mick - I use to live in Mooroolbark, I know Croydon. Should meet up nearby for the next cruise when it happens. Or anytime really.

I Actually saw another black GTR, not sure what year, R33 tho, just near Chadstone coming off the S.E. onto Warrigul road. Should have seen both of us rubber necking checking the other's cars out!!

Yeah, factory leather. They look better than in the pics, I wasn't sure about the colour at first but they're a few shades darker than what they appear so looks good.

Still got the plates, and after talking to the vic roads nazis, man victorian RTA sucks, can't have numbers before letters, have to de-register, re register and GTR 97 is taken, so I'm going to "live" in Queensland and get a QLD license to keep them!! :(

Rego is $200 cheaper then too! As far as I can tell anyway...

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • 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.
