skylinefreak_r33 is sixteen and is "sometimes" more mature then alot of u's.

Everyone grow a dic*k and maybe u might get some maturity.

as the saying goes....Build a bridge and get over it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if you guys keep on firing up on this thread it will get closed

all i got 2 say is WTF?

He wrote off a r34 GTR then a r33?

1. i dont think you respect your car cuz by the sound of it you never paid for anything in your life you a rich kid.

You don't respect what you have cuz u never work for it and know how hard it is to save up the money to buy such a car (if im right 34gtr = $100,000, 33gtr = $50,000 = A SHIT LOAD OF MONEY)

Im almost 17 and own a gts-t i work my ass off for my car, and i am 2 scaired 2 even give the car some stick around a concer as i know how hard it was 2 save up just for Hlaf the car :(

Learn your lesson and get the fu ck out of POWERFULL CARS!!!

you know last nite while travelling down the freeway in wollongong there was a car overturned pretty trashed as u could imagine, i assume no-one was hurt badly as the roaad wasn't closed. only 12 hours earlier a friends brother killed himself and injured 2 of his mates while driving his car, he only had his p's for 3 months or so.

what the hell is happening people, this has too stop, for crying out loud grow up a car is dangerous peice of machinery and if treated wrong will bend u over and give it to u real hard!

ohh yeah and thanks for giving all young HPI driver a bad name once again, and i wonder why people think all younger driver are speeding idots looking 2 do stuiped things.

P.s Like my dad said WTF do you have 2 prove? you know your car can do it so why do you have 2 prove it ? take it 2 the track if u want 2 drift, drag ect

Hmmmm guys, we don't have any confirmation that his first car was an R34 GTR...

I don't know whether T0nyGTSt was joking or not in his post.

If he really has written off an R34 GTR and an R33 GTR, I'm truely speechless.

But as I said, there's no confirmation on that as yet.

Yeah exactly!!

you dont have to prove anything...its just the morons who give into temptation and hammer it

Skylines are like a moron magnet, at about 6am this morning driving through eltham i had some top bloke xr6 ute up my arse, tailgating through windy roads doing about 70km/h in the wet...in the end i pulled over and let the speeding ****er through

Just have to ignore the idiots and like mike said leave the heroics to the track

Blade, right on.

Same thing happen 2 me 2day, was driving home with my dad and had my L plates on :( and this crappy VX commdoor with a HSV bodykit just took off like a rocket and just keep speeding off, i look at my dad and he just said u got nothing 2 prove and i just keep driving normal

This must be the most exciting threads i've read so far. I can't believe a guy 20 years old wrote off an R34 and then an R33 GTR.

I know its bad it happened on a public road and maybe more care should have been taken, but damn i think he is one cool kid.

There are alot of jellous people around and don't let them put you off. I say your doing well. Who hasn't owned a skyline and broken the speed limit before?

    • 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.
