Hi, this is an excellent Idea.

I have had my White R33 GTR stolen in February 2004 from Chatswood (Sydney). 4 Jealous thieves (aged between 18-24) took the car and were caught on survielance however the police where useless as usual and weren't sure who they were exactly. I haven't seen it since. If anyone knows of a sus white R33 GTR please let me know.

The only distinct features mine had were a repair on the passanger side rear quater and door. 5star rims, HKS boost controller and turbo timer, Sony Minidisc with loud arse subs and splits. It had brand new Turbo's fitted by GCG. It was a 95model with 55,000kms.

Chassis no: BCNR33004679

Plate no: ANT 84N (white)

Please, if anyone can help out, just email me. Thanks. *Generous Reward promised*

Spotted sinister along side our BMW M5 the other day, also saw him a fair bit behind in our revision mirror after we both gave it a hit.. Betta luck next time.

I cant gage your sincerity in print, so excuse me if I have you pegged wrongly.

An M5 nice car. I really dont know if your talking you up and me down. Or is this a bait on your behalf for a street race?

Gave it a hit did I? Hmm OK. Possible bcos I dont mind giving it a squirt on the odd occasion. But your M5 I cant recall. However it obviously stuck in your mind that you have now beaten a mighty GTR.

For your info I have had idiots in automatic 3.8 ltr commonwhores pass me for the last 2-3 weeks so I spose your M5 rates in the same class now.

If there's a next time we'll disconnect one of your your leads and see how you go. Skylines dont run well on five cylinders maybe youd like to come for a drive and check it out.

Sinista will be out of the shop on Friday arvo running on all 6. I'll keep an eye out for you. And a track day at Wakefield would be good.

If your really keen to risk your life, car and potentially others on street racing I'll hook you up with equally intelligent people.

BTW What year model and what did it cost you? A tad more than a 93 Skyline.

Hmm...I'm not sure what to make of BMW M PWR's post either.S'funny:I got "owned"(or so the driver told all his mates,I found out later)by a silver M5 a little while ago.A brief burst from first to second must've constituted a street drag to said driver as he was off in a flurry of ripping rubber and exhaust fumes after that.I gotta say,I really rate the M5's-love 'em all 'cept the shape of the new model-damned fine automobile,and a real goer,at that.Being that serious street racing(as in serious launch,serious speed,seriously dangerous)is...seriously stupid,I'm happy with that outcome.I was even happier about 5 weeks later handing the exact same M5 and driver their arse back to them on a plate at Wakefield Park.It was a pretty close duel,and good fun.But Bavaria's finest didn't triumph in a real race that day.Funnily enough,the owner was very quiet in defeat.I wonder if he had the integrity to tell that to his mates?I haven't been able to find that last bit of info' out,as yet.I'm out to make my car more reliable for trackdays,as much research shows that GTR suffer a few terminal problems I didn't previously know about on the day of the M5's defeat.Still,the 32 didn't go "pop" then,and it wont go "pop" shortly after said mod's are finished.So,maybe a trackday is on the cards again,BMW M PWR?Maybe,getting back to the thread topic,there'll be another "spotted" in a rear view mirror...

spotted richard losing control and getting airborne after smashing into a median strip, very very scary to see.

Erica: the rims look fantastic, if you see someone skulking around your house late at night, dont worry, i'll just give them a quick spin, have a giggle and be on my way lol.

Happens to the best of us... dont know how anyone else feels, but I've lost control of my car once, and when GTR lets go, it does so in a big way (possibly because the front wheels pull you in whichever direction theyre facing).

ive lost control of mine in a big way a couple of times, and once stopped about 3 feet from a concrete barrier, its VERY easy to do and once its lost traction in a situation like this be it gtst or gtr your purely a passenger, and well put by Nik, it does happen to even the best of us.

Leech_, yes, Richard as in Sinista, no oficial damage report as yet, but on an initial brief inspection by richard the damage doesnt seem to bad, but who knows what the under body looks like now? fingers crossed though!!!

What was the story with that car accident.

That was the aftermath of a bmw and an mx5 coming together. I was there because my gf's sister is the owner of the bmw. Very scary as her beautiful little baby girl was in the car at the time! But everyone was ok! (on a side note, an Mx5 door is not made of much!!!)

Do you live out this way? I've not seen your car around the area be4! I likes it alot! I suddenly felt shown up in my SII GTST! lol.

    • My experience with Rising Sun Exports Before agreeing to the sale I tried to do as much research as I could (obviously), his Facebook reviews are 98% and he goes Live at least once or twice a week. I contacted 2 people in the UK who had used him for their imports, both had positive feedback. His explanation and talk through of the import process was thorough, answering any query no matter how stupid it was. It felt as soon as the money was sent, communication dropped off. I asked for shipping updates every 2 weeks or so, not wanting to pester him, he never had any updates. I wasn't informed the car had been dropped off at the port, I only found out by his Facebook story. I asked for the photos taken at the port, knowing he would need some for insurance purposes. I received a few 5 second clips and that's it. When asked again, he said his staff had them. Weeks later I asked again, he tells me he doesn't have any, but does have 50 photos from the original advert. I never received them. I eventually got the documents sent via WhatsApp after I mentioned the port was requesting them. I purchased a CarVX report, to find out the vehicle is a Grade R with recorded accident damage, first recorded in 2017 when it was first auctioned. He never told me the grade, then again I didn't ask. His response was "Grade R means nothing, it wasn't chassis damage". Still, I would have liked to have been informed about it. Jon prides himself on being open and honest when it comes to inspecting cars, it's his main job doing so at the auctions for customers. When the vehicle arrived in the UK I noticed a few little cosmetic issues. It's a 21 year old car so it wasn't going to be mint condition. The side skirts are cracked on each corner and the sealant is failing. The front grill on the bonnet/hood isn't secured very well, mounting studs are missing. Both minor things, but again, it would have been nice to be told. During a Facebook Live walk around video of the vehicle, he mentioned it has a front Whiteline anti roll bar/sway bar. While on the inspection ramp, I noticed the stock item has been installed. When first questioned, his response was "the ARB? Switched? Since when, it never had them". Since sending video and photo evidence I've not received a response. I'm probably being over critical of the overall condition of an old car, but all I wanted was honesty (which he claims to have). I'm aware I wasn't his only customer, he's busy doing XYZ but other reviews praise him for great communication with regular updates and photos, I felt I didn't receive the same treatment. 
    • I was able to get some underside photos while the car was on the ramp The suspension is all Altezza/IS200/IS300 so getting part's will hopefully be less of a headache
    • Welcome to my 2004 Toyota Mark ii IR-V Fortuna (series 2) With a 1JZ-GTE powerplant under the bonnet (hood) it'll give me plenty of scope for power upgrades. For those who aren't familiar with imports, the 1JZ-GTE is a 2.5L 6 cylinder VVTi engine with a single turbocharger. This has the factory R154 5 speed gearbox, along with a aftermarket 2 way LSD differential (brand unknown). Under the arches are a set of CST Zero 1 alloys, 18x9 +30 225/40 up front and 18x9.5 +15 265/35 on the rear. The car was quite low in Japan and there's evidence of the wheels catching the rolled arches/fenders. The tyre's aren't great so I'm in two minds whether to replace both or just the tyres and put up with the wider wheels on the rear. The car still uses stock brakes with the addition of some braided hoses. The exterior is stock with the exception of a BN Sports front bumper and a replacement Fortuna grill  Moving to the interior, the steering wheel has been replaced with a dished MOMO steering wheel (which will get swapped for my Momo Tuner for the time being) Defi Link Gauges are mounted above the climate controls and on the A pillar, the Oil Temp,Oil Pressure,Water Temp and Boost gauges should help with spirited and track driving  The stock seats have been replaced with some retrimmed Recaro bucket seats. Being a larger build these are a little snug, unfortunately the orange isn't for me so I'll look into replacing these down the line. Other modifications include a twin plate clutch, Blitz intercooler, Evolve alloy radiator, a stainless exhaust with decat, HKS EVC-S boost controller and coil overs
    • Apologies for the long read My R34 GTT was up for sale at the beginning of spring due to a few repairs creeping up. The strut tops needed replacing, roof and bonnet (hood) painting (yay for 3 stage pearl) and the underside stripped and treated. I sold the car which allowed me to be in a much better place financially. Leading up to the sale I was already thinking about the replacement. In an ideal world it needed to be a good all-rounder. Something I can mess around with, modify, do track days, do the school run, go on long drives etc.  Options included but not limited to... Laurel C35, Evo 8/9, Civic FD2, Impreza Hawkeye, Aristo and even an Audi S4 Avant (I've already got the Mazda 6 wagon). But there was always one car at the top of the list The Toyota Mark ii JZX110 I found an advert on a Facebook group for an example in Japan, from a seller called Jon at Rising Sun Exports. A few messages back and forth and Jon calls me from Yokohama one morning (or afternoon in his case). He briefly explained the import process, the costs involved and a repeat of the advert. After much deliberation, the price was agreed and the sale was locked in. I've never imported a vehicle so I jumped into the unknown head first. The money transfer was completed through wise.com (fees apply), very easy to use and the money was with him within a day or two.  The car suspension was raised for the vessel and the car dropped off at the port. It was 7 weeks later when the bill of lading was received and the freight invoice sent to me, followed by the export certificate a couple of days after (both digital copies) In the mean time the port had been in contact. I needed an agent to deal with the NOVA (notification of vehicle arrival) along with the tax/duty invoice, this was £75.00. The port also had a fee of £100, I'm guessing to cover the cost of the 10 day 'free storage' and for moving the car off the boat etc. They need a copy of the vehicle invoice, freight invoice and export certificate to allow the vehicle to pass through customs. The vessel arrived on Tuesday 5th August, the tax/duty invoice was generated and sent over. This is generally tax 20% and duty 10% of the vehicle value. Although the invoice came in at a higher amount than I had calculated. Once HMRC had received the payment the vehicle could be released from customs. I thought once the tax/duty was paid you could collect at any point, that's not the case. Your agent will need to book a collection slot, I requested Thursday 7th which was accepted, with a 9:00am slot allocated. It was a 5:00am start from Norfolk heading to Southampton. We eventually found the compound, upon presenting the bill of lading and some ID they released the car (they drove it out of the compound to the front ready for us to load up). The email from the port stated each slot had a 10 minute window, which seemed abit farfetched but the staff said it's not a strict rule. We were there for approx. 30-40 mins in total. A week prior to collecting I contacted my garage and explained the situation, I was able to get an inspection slot that afternoon. For the registration, DVLA require the car to be insured, for this I used a company called Adrian Flux who can insure the vehicle using the VIN number.
