Hey Guys!

Give 'gersfan' a PM, he has an absolute stocker and minter (when he'll learn to wash a car properly and not use a t-shirt to dry it), R34 GTT. Pretty sure he'd be glad to show you it. (To compare)

As for advice, I'd leave that one too. The steering wheel really puts me off.

This looks the go except for the crappy driver's seat + has a nice mod list clicky (Also bias being black )

RAC check's are good if you are going to purchase a GETZ. Visit a performance workshop who deal with the cars often and get them to check it over and complete some tests to find out what sort of condition the motor is and other aspects of the car, they have years of experience with Japanese cars.

Try Lumley Special Vehicles as well. They were about $400 cheaper than Just Cars and Shannons for my GTR, not sure how they will be for younger drivers though. Had some damage done in a carpark a while back and it was fixed within two weeks, no fuss.

Ah, I should also mention that the reason my insurance is that high, is because I own a GTR. No one apart from JustCar and Shannons will touch em'. The price you pay for owning what you want

what about the steering wheel? The price of that one is a bit above my price range, also the mileage is very high. The black does look good tho.

Its kinda hard to do that when the owner is away and i'm more or less dealing with the wife.

I just filled in the quote online waiting for them to get back to me. Thanks for that, i've never heard of that company before tho.

Does anyone know of any performance workshops in winthrop or workshops that can send people down to the area to check the car?

[Ten Four]

The one your looking at would need a 100k service done too so factor that in as well...

Why I don't like the steering wheel is same as others.

XSpeed would do a pre purchase inspection, ring em up

[Davo87]

I gave xspeed a ring and they don't seem to be free this week apparently they're tuning their cars for targa west. are they any workshops that can go down to the place to check the car? The owner is away and its difficult for me to arrange things with his wife..

[Davo87]

And one more thing, how much does it cost to get a steering wheel (better to have an airbag) fitted on?

[Ten Four]

Don't really enough to go further, probably best to drag some sau guru down and hang some beer from a piece of string...

I just hopped on ebay and found this: link

so that should be roughly the cost?

[Davo87]

the owner told me xspeed charges a very high price for the inspections. He recommended autobahn i think. is that a reliable workshop? thanks for the link. Can i fit the steering wheel on myself or is there a special machine that does it?

[Nic_A31]

Steering wheel yes, air bag no. Go XSpeed mate, even if it is more expensive.

[Neuroglider]

....

i had a look myself. the car is G R E A T

100% better than mine when i looked at it... seriously NO rust whatsoever

the wheel was replaced due to taste not crash... the car is seriously good... handed it to a mechanic and has confirmed no deployment of airbags has happened... other than that beautiful car for a great price...

even tom will confirm it with me we went over the whole car hehe
