Hi guys, I've just bought my first Skyline last week :) and I don't regret making this decision at all.

I've been waiting for this day for 5 years. She's an R32 GTR immaculate inside out.

As expected I do get a lot of attention on the road especially from the falcodores, but I think I like

this car too much to let her drag with those boys on the street, possibly hurting some one else

getting fines and say goodbye to my license.

Here are some pics ! :D

Yep I pick her up from Japcar. Dennis was an awesome guy. Not trying to rip me off like a couple of places I've been to before.

Not regret this buy at all just my misses whinge about twin plates clutch and my driving. Hope to attend the cruises in the future.

Just want to make sure that I can drive twin plate properly before I attend the cruise :D

What twin plate you got?

I had a HKS twin plate when I 1st got my R32.

A bitch to drive as it's is either "In" or "Out" and not much play at all but you get use to it and perfect for high RPM Launches.

Thanks for the comments guys ! Now all I need is a set of Work Meister 18"

Yeah for sure!

What wheels are they atm?

Any mods?

I don't know what twin plates it is at the moment. Perhaps I might use one of the hoists and tools at school to pull it apart and see but

I don't see that happeneing sometimes soon. It has a bit of playing distance before in or out. The rims is not sure as well. They are some

factory Nissan similar to the 350Z one but I don't think it is :O They are 17".

Is there anyway in Melbourne I can check out some 2nd hand Japanese rims? I don't think I can afford brand new one yet :( and

still gotta pay for my insuarance so not much $$$ left

Yeah leave the twin plate and don't bother pulling it apart.

For 2nd hand wheels speak to Aaron from Import Monster, he has a lot of wheels for sale.

He is also a Member / Trader on SAU.

I might drop by at Import Monster this week to see what he's got.

I live quite close to Ringwood.

Aaron has moved to Bayswater.

    • Thanks both. All good advice. Reminds me of drilling through stone wall for drainage pipe 😬 I'll let you know how I get on if I still have use of my hands afterwards 😅
    • Finally got shipping number for the intake and throttle body, shipped by UPS, so "should" be in my hands sometime next week, fingers fracking crossed
    • I'm so far behind in the jobs I have to do at both work and home (including car) that I have become immortal. There's simply no way that I can die now.
    • Each to their own I guess  Me, I put just as much time into cleaning inside of the cars as I do on the outside As for getting wet, it is really no different than steam cleaning the carpets at home, apart from the cars carpet dries alot faster than the house, again, I only do it in the hotter months and leave the car opened up for a few hours As I only do it yearly, it is just before I do the diff and gearbox service, so I clean the carpets, then it's up on stands, wheels off, service, clean the undercarriage,  grease the bushings and do a nut and bolt check on everything  Disclaimer: I typically had all the time in the world to kill when I was working 🤣, so spending a full day or 2 cleaning, serving and "looking at stuff" was,  easily achievable, and a fun mental therapy day As for time to kill, I retired last Wednesday, so apart from my physical training, my days are filled with lots of random jobs around the house and garden...."Idle hands are the Devils something something" I am also buying a new house sooner rather than later, I'm actually looking at a potential property tomorrow, I'm looking forward to getting a car hoist as I'm starting to get to old to crawl around under a car, I can only imagine all the undercarriage cleaning and looking at stuff when that gets set up
    • Yeah, I'm not interested in wetting the carpets, and I don't care about brown dirt/dust that lives deep in the pile or underneath. It's not like I crawl around on them in my birthday suit or eat dropped food off them (because there is never any open food in my car). The seats are alcantara (cheap Chinese imitation alcantara, to be sure!) with barely 1" of foam pad behind the surface. That's not getting wet either. Any car that I would be happy to get the interior wet, I would not care to put the effort into.
