Good evening All,

As of the Saturday just gone, I went to Japcar to visit Dennis and picked my new car up!

Dennis was very helpful, and so far after a Christmas Hills run and many grins on my face (boosting is quite a lot of fun coming from an Integra GSI), I am in love.

1999 Nissan Skyline R33 GTR

63,000 km.

Mechanical inspection prior to purchase came up with the only problem being a leaking water pump, so that was fixed along with the timing belt whilst the rocket cover was off.

I am the first Australian owner and it is resprayed in Burgundy (no accidents caused the respray but it is looking very fresh when polished).

Pictures will come up when I get the chance, considering I'm either at work or unwilling to leave the driver's seat!

If anyone from the Templestowe area wants to have a meet and greet, I'd be more than happy to learn more about the forced induction platform (coming from N/A)!

One could say St Patty's day was interesting!

No history/log book, but I was given the original auction papers, not a photocopy which was good.

VINS were definately checked before on one of the stickys on this forum.

Unfortunately I spent more time partying this weekend rather than driving (I know, shame on me). But in due course :blink:

      Who has a Infiniti Q60, Q50 (V37)?

      By sonicii · Posted

      Yep, it was only an option on the Q50 Hybrid.  Same in Japan as far as I know. And doesn't use a centre diff like the Suby's do, so not the same as the WRX.  But it also isn't a reactive AWD like other Nissan AWD vehicles are, eg. Murano/Xtrail/etc.

      You should have got a Maine Coone then. Only thing is they're big. But so cool, and just like a dog. Or, just get yourself a high performance dog. That'll teach you for wanting Parkour indoors 😛

      Are you thinking of Bens R32? I don't remember if his went through the bonnet itself, but it went through the chassis rail. Brad (RISKIN) bought it, and turned it into a track car. It's funny how anti people are of Jim Berry now. I remember when I pulled mine out (during an engine change) and inspected it and found it cracking badly. At that point in time so many people were even on SAU, were so pro Jim Berry, and that was after Bens GTR exploded his quite publically.

      That's one of the reasons I got that breed, they look weird, the other reasons are they small, they are very vocal, and run around like they are on crack, I didn't want a breed that just sits around, these two are like kids on red cordial  My daughter has one, and it's a laugh riot, constantly doing Parkour around the house, sits on her shoulder, plays catch, and constantly runs around the house taking turns chasing the dog around, her Bermese though, just lays around with constant bitch face, and just looks on in utter disgust at the cat and dog playing together

      I'm getting PTSD flashbacks seeing that name again.  With my turbo swift, I got 1,500km of street use on a Jim Berry clutch before it exploded and took out my input shaft with it.
