Welcome to the jungle dude

Read the forums often, esp the for sale section. Check the national forums in regards to maint, mods and stuff for sale

You'll grow into it. Just start with maintaining ur car as best u can and replacing the worn components to give it another decades worth of use. Once u got that sorted, then u can think about upgrades

Looks very pretty tho. You'll have fun with it, guaranteed

Welcome to the club too man, were a friendly bunch......well most of us.

Grab yourself some meguiars plastx and apply thoroughly to headlights

welcome aboard man

best single bit of advice is don't extend your oil changes do them even if you think the oil coming out is all good

have fun with the fight in the garage too your skyline wont like the senator but the senator will be jealous of the skyline

[HSV004]

haha cheers fellas. yeah i got the car from a dude i know who bought it from NSW

i live in adelaide btw

the cleaning and makings things how i like has already started with simple things like cleaning it. fixing the dash lights/ putting my dvd player in tomorrow and hooking up my subs and amps in the process.

its only been a couple days, but they really are a ncie car to drive.

EDIT** with the headlights ive been told i can use any polis on the outside with a buff, is this a good idea or just do it by hand?
